It’s not long since Chance The Rapper dropped his bath-time playlist, and it now seems like the Chicago rapper is trying to provide us with tracks for all occasions.
Along with sharing a Christmas mixtape with Jeremih, Chano gives fans a playlist of his favorite holiday tunes. He appeared on BBC Radio 1 with Huw Stephens to reveal his own favorite festive songs — and proved he’s got damn good taste.
Soul classic “This Christmas” by Donny Hathaway kicked off the playlist, which also featured a tribute to Chance’s friend Kanye West, as Chance selected “Christmas in Harlem.”
Chance dedicated his final song to a “very important person in all of our lives and he will be truly missed, this is for little Michael,” — choosing the Jackson 5 rendition of “Santa Claus Is Coming To Town.”
The 23-year-old Chicagoan also offered his reflections on 2016, a year which many agree has been the worst in recent memory: “2016 kinda sucked. A lot of legends past away, a lot of weird legislation and elections, and a lot of strange things that I don’t think anybody could foresee.”
But it wasn’t all bad and he reflected on one special moment from the year.
“One redeeming factor of it all was, when Muhammad Ali passed away, I was allowed to do a tribute song for him and do it at the ESPY awards.”
Listen to the entire 25-minute segment below, including Chance’s own music and “Itz Not Rite” by DJ Rashad.
Now this idiot kid making a playlist is fucking “news”? It’s getting really old having this clown forced on everything.
You’re just mad that your album, “Look out, here we come!” didn’t put North Dakota on the map. Dust yourself off, clean the Dorito residue off your fingers, and get back in the studio Chuck! 55 isn’t too old to make difference, right?
