Chance The Rapper Takes Out Full Page Ad Asking For Grammy Consideration
Recently Chance The Rapper was on the cover of Billboard magazine, alongside a couple of other Grammy hopefuls for 2016. The interview with the trio of artists, of course, touched on The Grammys and some of the challenges each individual faces.
Chance shared his perspective as a black male, saying, "Colorism and racism don’t stop when you’re a musician or when you have wealth or when you’re in any given position. Kendrick [Lamar] going home Grammy-less [in 2014, when he was nominated in seven categories] was an awesome moment for people to recognize that it plagues us regardless of talent or skill."
Chance has taken out a full-page ad in Billboard magazine, which finds him asking for Grammy consideration, "Hey, why not me?" the ad reads, rather simply, but to the point.
