Chance The Rapper has been on a quest to land himself, at the very least, a GRAMMY nomination for some time now. Back in mid-June, just a few weeks after the release of his highly acclaimed Coloring Book project, The Recording Academy announced in June that stream-only projects will be in consideration for GRAMMY Awards effective immediately, though in the press release they made no mention of the success of Chance’s mixtape (or his fans’ lobbying).
Taking his efforts one step further, Chance The Rapper has taken out a full-page ad in the latest print issue of Billboard in an attempt to sway GRAMMY voters in his direction for the upcoming 2017 Awards.
The ad, which features Chance in beige overalls, simply says: “Hey, why not me?”
To be eligible for the 2017 GRAMMY Awards, artists must have released a project between October 1, 2015 and September 30, 2016. The nominations are set to be announced on December 6 ahead of the 59th Annual GRAMMY Awards on February 12, 2017.
Chance is also featured on the cover of the aforementioned issue of Billboard. Throughout his interview with the publication, the Chicago rapper suggested that Coloring Book should get consideration for Album of the Year.
“Coloring Book would be a strong contender for album of the year, too,” Chance said. “I’m not coming for Beyoncé at all. She will be nominated but I’m just saying, why not ‘Coloring Book’ for album of the year?”
Why not? Because it is fucking garbage that his daddy and the mayor rammed down our throats, what an ugly little fucking troll.

Whoops commented to the wrong person
Do you masturbate to vigilantcitizen.com? How does his father having political connections in Illinois have anything to do with the promotion of music that is already in demand worldwide? Look at his streaming numbers….
Coloring Book was cool and all but definitely not close to touching top 5 for album of the year
It was a fucking piece of garbage put out by a nobody, chance is the Wal-Mart of “rap”.
I ain’t asking no mo! GET OFF MY SITE.
Why not Chance? Because he is awful and boring…
This generation…always looking for recognition from the so called dominant culture. When it comes to hip hop the ONLY opinion and recognition that’s important comes from the streets and the youth…in the words of Public Enemy, “Who gives a fuck about a goddamn Grammy?!”
Really bro haha Isiah Rashad- Suns Tirade shits on this album. Pima Donna, The Life of Pablo, Bobby Tarantino, hell Untitled Unmastered was better. Chance is overhyped and not even that Lyrical yo. On some shit Views will win Rap album of the year no matter how basic it was.
Lmao “not even that lyrical” but you put Bobby Tarantino over it, Logic is the same shit about his grind and his flow recycled for every song
Y’all tripping Coloring Book was straight fire!! I would definitely put it in the top 3 albums of the year easily. Tell me what album was better than his? Don’t worry I’ll wait.
