Well… okay, fine!
Chicago-based, um, “rapper” Chance the Rapper totally WAS planning on hanging it all up and returning to his true calling of trimming nails and draining anal glands at the local Petco (totally a real thing).
BUT, as Pitchfork reports, those pesky Grammy people totally twisted his book-coloring arm with those three Grammy wins for “Best New Artist,” “Best Rap Album” (for Coloring Book), and “some third thing” — SO NOW, thanks to that crap, he’s like TOTES GOTTA GO ON SOME HUGE WHIRLWIND TOUR SHIT at the end of April instead, just to keep all us loopy legions of salivating fans happy!
Ugh. Goddamnit, and he was really looking forward to supporting the healthy anal glad function of tons of afflicted, Chicagoland dogs and cats! Sorry Chance; back to THE DRUDGE.
(Oh, by the way, “that third thing” he won a Grammy for was “Best Rap Performance” in his Lil Wayne collaboration “No Problem.”)
