That Grape Juice (Samuel Eni): What was the inspiration behind launching the film in theaters?

Chance The Rapper: Well, I grew up going to the movies, always. So that was just a pastime of mine. Like, me and all my friends. Or even when I was a kid; me and my dad would go at midnight to go see a ‘Harry Potter’ movie or something that had just come out. Film has always been a big thing for me. And I feel like there’s just a disconnect when stuff comes out sometimes and it’s just like on your laptop. It’s not the same.

Chance The Rapper: So, with this, it’s an experience. With this, we’ve come out, hosted fans, and nobody is gonna forget that sh*t. Having an experience is valuable.

That Grape Juice: The film, of course, centers on your live performance. Who are some of your live inspirations?

Chance The Rapper: Obviously, Michael Jackson, Chris Brown, Usher, Freddie Mercury. People don’t really ever talk about how incredible Lauryn Hill is live. Like she’s amazing, one of the greatest. Like, I don’t know, I grew up really just watching Mike. Michael Jackson. I saved all the DVDs, all the VHS’.

That Grape Juice: You do so much in music, TV and film. What other goals do you have that you want to achieve?

Chance The Rapper: Man, outside of those three things, I really don’t have any other goals. Those are like the main three professionally. I guess, personal tip, it’d be like raising my kids. In terms of like other professions, honestly nothing really other than those three things. They’re keeping me busy!

Chance The Rapper: Yeah, I am making music but I’m not like I’m on like an album roll-out…yet. Like, that’s like a whole different mode. So, I’m just making music. I’m just making stuff. That’s like my vibe right now.

He’s just, he’s eclectic. He’s like an Andre 3000. He does a lot of different stuff. Very cool.

That Grape Juice: What are some of the biggest lessons that you’ve learned being on this journey, doing things your way, being independent?

Video In-Article Ad (Desktop)

Chance The Rapper: The biggest lesson I learned is like: “Ain’t nothing to it, but to do it.” I’m in London right now at my movie premiere. And that sh*t just like, I don’t know. If only you knew how fake all the sh*t is. I would have finessed everything. I shouldn’t even have a movie up. It’s all just like, just do it. Just execute.

  3. WOW September 19, 2021

    Love Chance.
    I hope he gets his moment of ‘talk to me nice’. Right now feels like there’s a lot of jealousy around him and a lot of t-painin going on. I hope he recognises it for what it is and continues to push forward with his music.
