Description

Mario and Alex have the juice and some hot takes as they revisit Chance The Rapper's breakthrough 2013 mixtape, Acid Rap. After giving some context to the record (0:00), Mario breaks down Chance's backstory (4:20) andChance's battle with Chief Keef for the sound of Chicago rap. Alex tries not to hurt Mario's feelings. Later, the crew declares their favorite moments (12:57), discuss Acid Rap's musical-like structure (17:42), Chance's polarizing nasally delivery (19:28), along with their favorite moments (23:29). The duo explores Acid Rap's legacy as the last great "DatPiff" mixtape (28:21), what's aged the worst (36:15), the best features (42:22), the best quotes (47:31), the album parents and children (51:42), make unnecessary basketball comparisons (56:09), ask "would this work as a tiny desk concert?" (1:01:26), Apex Mountain (1:02:28), and try to determine if Acid Rap is a classic (1:09:42) and giving their own personal ratings..

My apologies for the obscure and dated Demar DeRozan, 3 year $85 million basketball contract joke reference at the beginning, that's my bad.
