Music can kind of make you one-dimensional. People see what's on the surface and what you rap about, and they make their decision on who you are from there.

The idea of 'talking white,' a lot of people grew up around that, just the idea that if you speak with proper diction and come off as educated that it's not black and that it's actually anti-black and should be considered only something that white people would do.

Chicago is a beautiful city - the architecture, the food, everything in the city is awesome.

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

Depending on the story that you're telling, you can be relatable to everybody or nobody. I try and tell everybody's story.

The whole tape [Dedication 5] is amazing. It's my favourite accomplishment [working with Lil Wayne] and I say that with thought. It's the biggest accomplishment I've made today, because Lil Wayne is probably the biggest reason why I'm sitting here right now, rapping and doing what I do. I'm a huge Wayne fan forever.

I don't know where people think I'm from, but I'm from Chicago. It's really just that. People wanna romanticize it and say, 'There's two sides to it, and it's a beautiful love/hate story of violence and music.' But it's really just a very scummy place where people don't have respect for other people's lives.
