Chance The Rapper recently stopped by Pharrell and Scott Vener’s OTHERtone radio show on Beats 1 to discuss a variety of topics including the impact that his four-month old daughter has had on his music.
“I’m so much more understanding of love,” Chance said in a video teaser for the interview, which airs in full this coming Sunday (February 7). “I didn’t know love until I had my daughter. I didn’t know its bounds, you know what I’m saying?
“You can love somebody through anything when they’re your child, and now that I understand that, it makes me work better with people, it makes me more understanding of how much dedication and love I can put into each line,” Chance continued. “There’s no throwaway lines.”
As someone who himself has a seven-year-old daughter, Pharrell was in a position to offer some credible words of wisdom to Chance.

“I’m gonna tell you, that is the best song that you will ever co-write in your life,” he said. “When you think the melody can’t get any better, and you think the lyrical content can’t be any deeper and any sicker, the bars can’t be crazier, it happens all the time. God’s the board, and she’s writing the lyrics. And she just rewrites over and over as she gets older, it’s one of the most amazing things ever. How’s that feeling?”
“It’s crazy, it’s just like you said, she just grows,” Chance replied. “I’m inspired by her because she grows so fast. She’s four months old and like at four months she’s a genius already. She’s just super strong and super ready.”
