Watch Chance the Rapper Discuss Kanye Collab Album Good Ass Job, Tell Kanye to “Turn the Volume Down” on Tour
Chance the Rapper was a guest on “The Cruz Show” on Los Angeles’ Power 106 FM recently. During his appearance, he discussed his long-rumored project with Kanye West, Good Ass Job, an album he teased during a May interview with Zane Lowe on Beats 1. Chance first gave an update on the record’s status. He said, “It’s definitely far from done. It’s something that gets brought up in conversation every once in a while.” He then elaborated:
The Good Ass Job, that’s something that’s just been a dream for me. I’m a Chicago kid, so I’m a super Ye fan, and I used to watch all the, you know, YouTube videos and, like, him speaking. And I remember just watching a video a long time ago where he would go on, he was explaining, you know, how you have your College Dropout, and then you go back you have your Late Registration, and then you finally get your Graduation. And after you graduate, you gotta go get a Good Ass Job, so that was a thing in my head forever, and, you know, if you’re a Ye fan, you know, then he went on 808s & Heartbreak, and then you’re like, “OK, Good Ass Job will be next,” and then he does Dark Twisted Fantasy and Watch the Throne.
And all of those things are albums that shaped my life, but I just, I cannot wait to, you know, really just bunker down. We definitely have at least two songs I could say I know would be on Good Ass Job, but to be, you know, back in the bunker and be at the spot and have that time to just sit and make stuff everyday is my dream.
The host then asked Chance how often he listens to The College Dropout. He said he plays at least a song from it daily, and listens to it front-to-back “once every other month.”
Later, Chance was asked if he’s been to West’s Saint Pablo tour, and what he thinks about it. He said, “Man, if Ye is listening right now, it’s amazing. You gotta turn the volume down a little bit in that bitch, though.” He continued:
I know that he did it on purpose ’cause he does shit like this on purpose, but, bro, please turn that shit down. The way he has it set up because of that giant pit, you know, he removed the stage, so the stage is elevated and there’s a huge pit on the floor, but I think because of the fact that he’s not on one side of the arena, the acoustics make it so that he has to put the subs around the base of the floor, and it makes it a crazier experience, but God damn. Literally, my stomach felt like I had, like, internal bleeding because of how much it was shaking and how loud it was. So, if you see this, I’m just gonna text you so you don’t see this and get mad later, but turn that shit down just, just, like, four dBs or something. I don’t know.
Elsewhere in the interview, Chance teased West’s possible collaborative project with Drake: “I know Ye’s working on something with Drake, which I haven’t heard any of the songs from yet, but I’m sure it’s all I’m gonna be listening to.” So far, a mysterious billboard with West’s G.O.O.D. Music logo and Drake’s October’s Very Own owl has popped up in Los Angeles.
