Last night, after two days of reflection, fans wondered if he was going to drop a new album this week, Chance the Rapper has released four The surprise has sparked two reactions: the initial excitement compared to the new music, followed quickly by the revelation that Chance had bought Chicagoist, a website that covers the news, the food and culture in the Chicago area. "I may need security," he recalls, "I have a list of hits so long that I do not know how to finish / I've bought the Chicagoist just to tell you racist stuff. "[19659003] Chicagoist is one of eight local news and culture sites run by Gothamist LLC. DNAinfo owner Joe Ricketts bought the company in March 2017 and closed all branches in November after employees voted to join a union. In February, public radio stations WNYC, KPCC and WAMU bought all the deceased Gothamist websites with plans to restart them. Shortly after midnight, Gothamist confirmed that Chance Social Media LLC had bought Chicagoist from WNYC.
Chance issued the following statement regarding the acquisition: "I am extremely excited to continue the work of the Chicagoist, an integral local platform for Chicago's WNYC commitment to finding homes for brands -ist, including Chicagoist, was an essential part of the continuity of the inheritance and integrity of the site. I look forward to reviving it and bringing the people of Chicago to become independent, media focused on amplifying various voices and content. "
The latest purchase of Chance reinforces an already well-known fact: He loves Chicago. In November, he attended a Chicago City Council meeting to protest the construction of a $ 95 million police and fire academy, encouraging aldermen to instead invest in mental health services and schools. Chance's willingness to provide a platform for Chicago journalists is admirable because local news controls communities. But it is dangerous to name Chance the Rapper the savior of Chicago journalism when he personally attacked publications that have slightly criticized him in the past.
In October 2016, David Turner wrote a critical review of Chance's Meadows show. for MTV News. "The giant puppets and the over-elaborated theatrical production all seemed like Chance the Father trying to convey wisdom to a child rather than emotionally connecting with peers," Turner writes, suggesting that Chance's fame and fame Have been exponentially high. Turner struggled to relate to Chance as he usually did and lamented the lack of "emotional complexity" on his 2016 mixtape, Coloring Book . "I hope that in his next project, he will remember that even a life full of blessings can be complicated," Turner concludes.
Turner's badessment was enlightened and balanced; he offered an explanation for the disconnect that he felt from Luck music without resorting to character badbadination. But after hearing the wind of the magazine, Chance would have always said that he "never worked with MTV again," according to a report Spin on the death of MTV News. MTV eventually fired the piece from its site (it now exists on Medium), and Chance appeared later on the first installment of the season Wild & N Out in June 2017. [19659003] These kinds of tactics do not bode well for the future of Chance as a new owner of Chicago. I've written for enough local publications to know that they seldom criticize the heroes of their hometown – who do not like to celebrate people doing exemplary work in their own backyard? – but having the ability to do so without fear of undue punishment is crucial to a free press. What happens if Chance objectively publishes the worst rap album of the decade? And if he goes on TMZ and suggests that slavery was a choice? And does he do anything so morally wrong that fans and critics will have no choice but to denounce him? Will Chicagosta be allowed to join the dissident group or will he be forced to continue to perpetuate the image of Chance as a Golden Child of Chicago?
Given Chance's personal and artistic background, none of these things are likely to happen. On paper, his recovery from Chicago is a great victory for local journalism, and I hope he'll let their editorial staff use their discretion when publishing. But it's hard to imagine Luck supervising the Chicagoist as a benevolent dictator He has already proven that he was a little grudgeman unable to cope with mild criticism. Other words from "I Might Need Security" suggest that he could have more points to settle with the Chicago media:
I missed a interview of Crain they tried to flee my addy
I donate to the following schools, I'm called a dad deadbeat
But Sun-Times Enter This Case Rauner
I've had a list of shots so long that I do not know how to finish
J & I bought the Chicagoist just to make you run racist nonsense
It's not unusual for an artist to complain about unflattering media coverage. It is unusual for an artist to buy a competing media and attempt to put his publications out of spite. It remains to be seen if Chance plans to follow these threats or if they turn out to be mere heartbeats, but that does not really sound like the "healthy competition" that we see in multiple publications occupying the same landscape
. One of the fundamental pillars of journalism is to "hold those who have the power to be accountable," which is not an easy task when one of the most powerful musicians alive holds your publication. The purchase of Chicago by the rapper of chance is a dangerous precedent for artist-media relations where a publication works as a glorified public relations generator for an artist. It's up to the Chicagoists – and other local and national media – to monitor Chance's activity as the site's new owner, in case they need to save their own savior
