Chancelor Johnathan Bennett (born April 16, 1993), better known by his stage name Chance the Rapper, is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, activist, actor and philanthropist.

Why He and His Songs Rock

1. Unlike most rappers, he uses his music to share happiness and positivity.
2. His lyrics are very personal. They talk about his life experiences and how they help him become the man he is today. They also have some clever and creative punchlines, like "Lean all over the square, that's a fucking rhombus".
3. His mixtapes 10 Day, Acid Rap and Coloring Book are awesome and were critically acclaimed.
4. His vocal style is unusual, similar to Young Thug.
5. Thanks to his high-pitched voice, he can sing pretty well.
6. His projects have great production.
7. Both his XXL Freestyle and Cypher were great.
8. He has done much help to improve the poor state of Chicago, Illinois by donating to Chicago’s homeless population, schools, and facemasks to its population and although he supported Barack Obama he believes it isn’t necessary for a president to be black in order the defeat the US’s systemic racism problem and despite his frequent criticism towards Donald Trump, he defended Kanye West when the latter got backlash just for being a republican and pointed out that “Black people don’t have to be democrats.”
9. He removed his 2015 collaboration with R. Kelly, "Somewhere in Paradise" from digital streaming platforms, and said that "making a song with R. Kelly was a mistake."

Bad Qualities

1. He has some bad songs like "Hot Shower", "Found a Good One (Single No More)" and especially The Big Day's title track.
   • His feature on "Holy" by Justin Bieber was terrible and ruined the song. However, in the acoustic version of "Holy" by Justin Bieber, he sounds nice and not terrible.
2. Sometimes his vocals can sound annoying.
3. His debut studio album The Big Day was atrocious.
   • After the massive negative uproar caused by The Big Day, he started blocking on Twitter everyone who made even the slightest of criticism against the album. To make things worse, he was sued by his ex-manager Patrick Corcoran for unpaid commissions and breach of a contract. Corcoran even admitted that Bennett fired him and blamed him for the poor reception and sales of The Big Day.
4. He called himself a top 5 rapper in an interview.
