Dropped those 6 loosies everyone liked then when it was time to promote the album he was posting these snippets

man missed the one wave he could've had which was making these songs big on tiktok but he was tryna make them big on TRILLER
Niggas saying majority of his core fans hated Coloring Book but he was doing stadium shows off that
but imagining 10 niggas off acid wearing LDRS hats outside the stadium being mad at a nigga finding his faith is hilarious tho.
i actually like coloring book more than his early s***. Big Day is dookie but has some redeeming songs.
This did it:

You posted that s*** in the nba thread first. Dumbass
Literally who gives a f*** what is ur deal
yeah this and the "I feel you guys want me to kill myself" tweet were wraps
While I would agree that it was a step down from Acid Rap and definitely the beginning of the Chance The Rapper that exists now, i still think it was a pretty good project. Had some wonderful songs on it like Angels and Summer Friends.
Yeah exactly. I see what people mean in regards to a follow up to Acid Rap. But overall CB wasn't horrible, if he brought another CB tier album and not The Big Day, he'd probably not have been hit quite so hard.
The whole positivity s*** was his catalyst
And we quickly descended into cynicism after CB dropped

Those 2018 singles were CB tier. So all he really had to do what just make a few more songs to add on to those singles and make that his follow up album.
He still has it, he just needs to bounce back with his next project

Cutting ties with donnie trumpet and surrounding himself with yes men
when he cut ties with donnie?
This will forever be a classic
this s*** changed Chicago for a moment
the OG praise god beat in the back
Thats actually wild
chance was one of my first favorite artists and I even enjoyed the singles he put out in 2018. big day was ass and him deciding to act like a victim to criticism didn't help either. I think he gotta take time and really make a classic for people to care again. plus he be doing too much ads
I’d say when he replaced the original mixes for I am very very lonely and back up in this b**** on SoundCloud.
I stand by the fact that NOBODY could make I am very very lonely. chance had something special back in 2015 bro
That Groceries song changed everything tbh

It starts at his peak in 2016. When he helped shape TLOP and Coloring Book was met with widespread critical acclaim.
I just checked and Coloring Book has a 89/100 on metacritic...an 89! It's a great album, but in 2016 he very much was "the critics' it girl". It all shows how high his high was back then. (A huge apple music push did wonders)
So the entire process of creating his "official studio album" was doomed from the start with sky high expectations. After a sabbatical fatherhood year, he starts venturing into more pop features. Which were actually good, but then tries to hop on the early triller wave forcing a garbage single called 'Groceries'. That s*** obviously fails. So he starts cussing out fans on twitter and losing about every bit of his authenticity in the process. Meanwhile his team is internally in squabble. They can't agree on the direction or the current quality of the album. It becomes so bad he fires his childhood friend and manager in the middle of the album recording. In an attempt to salvage the album he turns even closer to God & Family (dad becomes full time manager), this time under holy matrimony.
On 'The Big Day' "he loves his wife, he loves his God, he loves his kid, and anyone who doesn’t share that love is a dissenter. He is so tenacious in his worship that it can feel contrived" (Pitchfork)
This sums up about everything you need to know about why he lost it. A couple of bad dominoes fall and culminate into Chance the preacher. His raps are dogmatic and closed off, the anthesis of how inviting and hopeful his early work felt.
Tyler is the current rap "it girl" in terms of critic reception
