I think even before I knew I wanted to be a rapper, I wanted to be an entertainer. I was really into Michael Jackson as a kid.

For me, performing is the biggest part of being a rapper. There's nothing like the feeling of screaming your story to people.

Everybody's somebody's everything

It wasn't until I left that I realised it's not weird to grow up in certain cities and, by the age of 27 or 28, for all of your friends to still be alive. I can think of a lot of kids that I knew in Chicago who were supposed to grow up but didn't.

I've never met Eminem; you don't meet Eminem. He has his own secret service.

My favorite artist in the world is Michael Jackson, and he revolutionized the music video aspect of music.

Chance the Rapper' is many things. I'm constantly evolving.
