It's time for the headlines. Yournews coverage from Chicago. It's a worldwide
(03:22):
But on the show, the newmayor of Chicago wanted to bring in the
holidays, you know, kind ofyou know, ramping up your security,
managers acts, police officers that tooka day off from police officers. I
know some of my homies had towork on Memorial Day and uh to no
avail violent and deadly Memorial Day weekendin Chicago, with at least fifty shot,
(03:46):
ten fatally. Police have said allright shooting victims range in age from
two to seventy seven years old,representing every part of the city. Violence
occurred despite the collaborative public safety effortthat the new mayor hopes to implement all
summer. Back of the yards,a man got critically wounded in the back
and another man was shot in theface in the South Chicago home. There
(04:10):
were three people shot standing on thesidewalk off the ninety one hundred block of
South Harper Avenue when someone drove upand fired around one forty five am.
A fifty nine year old man,a fifty seven year old woman, and
a seventy seven year old man wereall hit and transported to local hospitals.
Just a crazy weekend, man,When here it is, you know,
(04:30):
I thought, quite honestly, fromeverywhere where I had went this weekend and
was moving around, I wasn't hearingthat a scene. That it had one
little incident that my homie comedian MikeSam told me about happening about round his
way, but other than that,I hadn't really heard none. And then
to wake up this morning and readthe stories about what happened, it's kind
of defeating. It's kind it reallyis, because, like you said,
we don't we don't see it whenthe places that were moving around, right
(04:54):
and you wake up and reading thenews about fifty people passing you know,
I mean getting shot. That's that'sthat's ridiculous. Gotta do something to stop
it. And it seems like wejust had the who do We had been
the director of cp on and hewas I mean adamant about a plan,
that adamant about changing things. Butwe just got to figure out a way
to make this task. To Hannah, you know, walking to nine,
(05:14):
like we saw this happening, andI'm like, Okay, we're gonna be
We're gonna be all right. Youknow, realistically, I don't expect for
nothing not to happen. I getit. This is a big city.
But to hear that fifty people gotshot, ten people lost their lives,
it's just I don't know, man, you know, like like for me,
if you say you take pride inyour city, like I'm shot town
and I'm this and I'm that thisshould not digs up. I don't think
(05:38):
I don't, and I don't thinkpeople feel like it is. I don't
think nobody is sitting back like thisis cool, you know what I'm saying,
But well, can we do I'mnot saying they think it's cool.
But when you start using terms likeshy rack and all that, it's like,
nah, this is Chicago, Likestop calling it a war zone.
Like I believe that language is alot language, like the power of the
(05:59):
tongue. Man, and you youkeep saying stuff over and over, you
start to believe it, like shorties, like shorties that I talked to and
they call itself savage. It islike, you're not a savage dog.
Yeah, you're a grown man.You're a grown woman. You're not a
savage. You keep saying that overand over, you stop believing it,
and you start acting like the thingthat you keep saying that you are.
I wonder was it more? Doyou think it was more shootings this this
(06:20):
year than it was last year?Well? I don't know. I don't
know the last suff I have tosee, but just not a not a
good way to start out. Youthing coming in over the weekend. I
really thought that if violence was downsuper crazy, that would man Okay,
Brad, you to a great stuff. I'm still behind him, but I'm
just saying, you know, Ihate that this and it takes time for
(06:42):

your representation. I always say this, what if he never got groom,
never cut his hair or nothing,and walked around looking like a savage All,

that's eighty to sixty brees outside onwhat you have on the school cap masketball.
I'll tell you what. You probablyneed to go get her hair done.
That I helped, that's why shewearing the bonnet. She probably I
(16:42):
thought she's wearing the bonnet because shedoesn't want to mess up her hair,
or because it's done, and that'swhy they wear a little Stop saying she
trying to preserve it. So maybeif she, if he got her hair
done more frequently, should take themtake that rag off your head, bring
your ass on, or stop takingher places? Stop going places? Twitter
ain't going nowhere? A sixty fiveone or seven five GCI? Who this

the bondet at home? Sometime shedoes need to leave the bonnet at home.
But I agree with Zack, maybehe should get her hair done more
often. Why do she have thebondet on this out here? And I
does because she's lazy. Well,she needs to do something about there.

today it brings me great disdain andno pleasure to give goofy to this organization,
(23:33):
because this is an organization I devoutlyfollow me and my man Joe Soto.
You know what I'm saying. Weretrue Cubs fans man, the last
team in the city of Chicago towin the World Series Championship for the city,
it's the Chicago Cubs. Well,uh, they made a dumb ass
mistake and I got to get onthem. One. They had Hall of
(23:57):
Famer Billy Williams bobble is that theywere giving out to the fans man.
And this, uh matter of fact, if you got one of those,
man, if you were able tograb one, get me one, because
it's probably gonna be a collector's itembecause they dropped the ball on this.
They had the number for Billy Williamson the back, Who's a Hall of
Famer man, one of the greatestCubs to ever do it. They put
(24:18):
number one on this. Judge,Billy Williams did not wear number one or
number twenty six. So you printedup thousands or these bubblehead shut up right,
let me get through this now.If you I will stop ten thousand
fans got this bubblehead with number one, I would keep that one and just
(24:41):
try to get that number because thisis a collector's item. Now you know,
I'm gonna try to find some goodin it, but that's not what
it was meant to be. Whoeverput the number ones on on you,
I don't know, I don't know. And then to top it off through
Cubs lost eighty five. What youexpect. You suldn't even get the numbers
right. But who did it?At the end of the day, you
(25:02):
know they work for the White Sidesaid well, we're not this is not
about Ryan on that team on theSouth side would never have rented their stadium
out that stadium as a hord.We would never do hord out a smart.
It's always gonna be committe smart.It's always gonna be commiskey to me.
But you know the sale got somewho else got guarantee? Right up?
(25:26):
Who's next on the train. Butanyway, as I was saying,
cups, shame on you for this, Billy Williams is all of famers twenty
six. You got to know thatwhoever working in your PR department, they
have to know that now they willthey're gonna redo them and people won't be
able to get them. Though tillnext season if you got if you one
of the ten thousand fans who receivedthe giveaway, you could turn your old
(25:48):
one in to get a new one, but I would keep the old When
they just try to go to thegame, when they're doing it, I
just don't understand why this how thisgot passed the same way to graduate things.
Yeah, we're just not paying attention, not doing their jobs. So
cubs hate to say this. Manweld On say, y'all dropped the ball.

on us O the fuck c theshies never one to him fiping r B.
All right, man, I loveit when we have guests in the
building right now where that's one ofChicago's sons. My guy, Chance the
rapping the building was happening, andwe're back, and we're back. You
(27:33):
got to dual citizenship yet I'll doit well. I got my little fake
ID for okay, you know whatI'm saying. And I got a name.
They call me Kofe. So we'regonna be talking man, all things,
Chance the Rapper that's coming up next, keeping Lockers GCI. Yes,
sir man, it's the best dadon the shore Chicago, myself to Dustin,
Legendly on Rogers, Zach Bug inthe Building, White BOYD and Ryan
and of course Chance the rapping hillMan. Hey man, I'm liking a
(27:59):
little key five things man. Yeahon my keys. Yeah. I didn't
drive here though, I just carrythe Okay, but mind people, I
got caught. I got caught.How you being, sir? I've been
good man. It's good to beback in the studio. I've been traveling
alive. Just got done with theVoice. I was voicing it up.
I was coaching it up over there. Yeah I'm gonna spin around and yeah,
(28:22):
I was doing that whole thing.And that was low key. It
was way more fun than I thoughtit was gonna be. I thought it
was gonna be cool, but itlike surpassed all my expectations. But which
which which you know, you've donea couple of music shows before. Which
show was the best? The Voice? Or completely different shows? You know
what I'm saying, And I gottago with whoever's paying me. No,
I'm just kidding, honestly, itwas. It was There're two very different
(28:45):
shows. Rhythm and Flow is somuch about hip hop as a culture,
and we do you know, we'reoriginality, so we make our own lyrics,
we make our own videos, wemake our own fashion like, so
it's like that's like an all encompassingThat was the first time show and then
the Voice is like this classic youknow, like, oh it's it's been
around for twenty three seasons, soIt's like it's like they have their own
traditions and style and how they theyput their stuff together. That's my question,
(29:08):
you'd be how does that make youfeel as an artist that people think
that holly of view, like,Okay, yeah, we know Chance comes
from the hip hop culture. Hecan does this, but we respect his
music and his his you know,his his art art style that yeah,
we can bring him over here andhe can listen and to a talented singer.
How does that make me? Tobe honest, It's it's really flattering
(29:30):
and inspiring because if I when Iwent on the show, I didn't know
you know, I didn't I wasn'treal like the voice watch or you know
what I'm saying like before I gotto be honest, I've never seen the
show before, and when I gotthere, my first day of work was
like a test, but I passedit because they were giving me all these
opportunities to produce new arrangements of musicfor artists, for choirs, for big
(29:52):
bands, and that's like what I'vebeen doing for the past ten years.
So it was like an opportunity toshow like, oh I could if I
get with some singers with some timeonto musicians. With enough time and a
bunch of cameras, I could producea show every time. And it really
like, let me reminded me ofwhat like one of my favorite parts of
music is, which is producing.So like it was, it was really
like I appreciated them for thinking ofme and for knowing that I could do
(30:17):
what I do. All right now, I want to talk about this August
nineteen. It's going down sold outalready because right, yeah, what what
should we expect with the ten yearcelebration? The ten years celebration? I
asked, first of all, Ijust want to say thank you Chicago for
keeping it so live for the pastten years and like always supporting different type
(30:41):
of things that I did since asRapp, And I was kind of like,
you know, ten day and shoutout to everybody supporting me since ten
day. But Astrap was like areal turning point for the city in terms
of like backing me and allowing meto do what I do. And just
to see ten years later that peopleare still so affected by it and still
have so much love for it andall the stories that have been coming out
(31:02):
about it, like that's a youknow, it's a very yeah, give
me some surprise. I know you'regonna have You're gonna what surprises you like,
so Bro, I'd be excited.It's gonna be. It's gonna be
a lot of familiar faces because thething about as Rapp is like everybody that
(31:22):
made that project now is a start. Even if even if they were like
they were big then, like DonaldGlover was on the project, Action Bronson
Apps, like all these people thatwere they were already stars, but now
they like mega stars, like likeno Name Saba, like all the people
from Chicago like that. It's likea bunch of you know, and I'm
(31:45):
not promising that all those people aregonna be there, but you know,
yeah, we're gonna talk more aboutit when we come back more with a
chance to Wrap. Keep yes,sir one or seven five w gcut shows
number one for hippopping r and beWe're back, Zach myself. That's a
legendly on Rogers Chilling with my ManChanced to Wrapper was the building we talked
(32:06):
about Asida. Now let's talk aboutthe star line conscientt Okay, you did
the last one in Ghana, whichwas amazing, which was incredible. I
hate I missed so I wanted togo so bad, but you know,
the way my bank account was setup right then, it wasn't gonna happen.
And I wanted trying to make mywife's stripping nothing extra almore ready what
she do. So we need paymentplayer that I allowed to go up North
(32:31):
Cold Boystown, Lean. I'm tryingto do that. Yeah, yeah,
I was crank so so this yearJamaica. Yeah, so we're gonna do
uh yeah, it's me crazy.We are. We just finished, like
you said, we just finished theBlack Star Line in January. We did
(32:53):
it in Ghana. A bunch ofpeople, like fifty thousand peoples came out,
Kendrick g came out, who Imiss. I wish he was in
the studio with us right now.But but a whole bunch of people,
Dave Chappelle, Erica Baduti, Um, a bunch of performances, Telequalley like.
It ended up being something that waslike a big family union. And
we want to keep doing it everyyear and keep it free and keep it
(33:15):
black, and keep it you know, educational, and so we want to
take it next year to Jamaica,which is the birthplace of Marcus Garvey who
started the Black star Line in nineteennineteen and and there's still so much like
revolutionary thought and action that's happening inJamaica, even to like his But let
(33:37):
me ask you a question. Yeah, because I like to go to Jamaica
just to kick it. Yeah,logistically they're gonna be able to handle y'all,
man, because yeah, y'all geta lot of people over there,
and I'm talking about going through Jamaica. I ain't gonna. I love my
brothers and sisters over there be like, yeah, how do I get to
the gate, But I'm gonna missedmy flag? They be chilling. It's
(34:04):
here's the thing. It's like theinfrastructure for u large scale experiences has existed
in Jamaica since like the fifties,Like they invented these, uh these battles
that they do with these these bigsounds of the sound battle. So they've
been like throwing large scale concerts forever. And on a communal experience level,
(34:24):
like there's this large community h they'recalled the Maroons, and they're like the
oldest community of peoples that are indigenousto to Jamaica, and they a lot
of them come from Ghana, right, and basically they create like they use
a language that's our original language fromWest Africa from years and years and years
(34:45):
and years ago and continue to teacha revolutionary spirit. And it's like one
of the that's one of like thestrongholds of political power there. So when
you think about like the ability toorganize and the ability to to to to
have conversation, the ability to educatethe ability to have fun and communal music
(35:05):
and stuff like that, like Jamaica'slike the It's exactly where we're supposed to
be at that time, basically whatI mean he said a lot to say
that they already been doing that time. But he isn't his only thing.
And this I love Chances and Ihate him too, right because he always
got to come with some old soyou know from Jamaica, Baby Chance,
(35:35):
It's like, you know, thiswas the blood of accessor was spirited.
So why are you boughty and neckand drinking your drinks? Remember how many
people got soyal for you too.It's like it's like a lot of us
like that having the Jamaica right,So, so black folk like we we
travel a lot of us. Lastyear that was a lot of people's first
(35:55):
time going to West Africa. Butwe travel on this side of the chemistry,
right, and we spend a lotof our money, typically in tropical
places and a few black islands,but we go to places where the results
are like, yeah, the resortspace talking about island, Yeah, it's
(36:15):
but it's a it's a thing wherelike a lot of us have been to
Montego Bay, the Grille, UltraRios, but a lot of us haven't
been to Kingston. And that's theheart of Jamaica. That's that's where the
political uprises happen. That's where thereal parties is that that's where uh,
that's the capital, and that's wherelike so much of the history of Jamaica
(36:36):
takes place. And so once weget to go into places where the businesses
are primarily black owned and we startputting money into creating space, opportunity,
conversation, entertainment in those spaces,like that's when the real revolution starts.
So it's like we're gonna be ableto do it all because the island,
you could drive across the island inless than a day. You could go
(36:57):
to you could stay in Montego Bayif you want to, and drive down
to Kingston or you could stay inKingston and it's and it's just as fun
and just a little bit more black, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
I want to it's about that timefor new music. It is about
that time. It's about let's getto the music. What we got coming
this year? Yeah? No,I mean I feel like, uh with
(37:22):
music, I'm like a real reallike I love what I do, right,
I love making music. And Ithink that sometimes when you think about
it as a job, or youthink about it on a schedule, you
think about it as like programming orsomething that's meant to advertise or propel something,
versus like just really what it is, which is just like art.
(37:44):
Then like you you get you getmore of it, but you don't get
as much from it. And soI'm trying to put a lot into the
music now. So I got someof my best music ever made. I
got a lot of collaborations with awesomepeople, Gregor Reporter, a little One,
all these amazing producers for this albumI'm making calls Starline Gallery, which
has a lot of these a lotof these thoughts and educational experiences and a
(38:06):
lot of like also what I'm doing, which is just having fun. I'm
living my life, but I'm I'mdocumenting it all in a way that like
I could look at it and appreciateit. And I don't know if it's
gonna drop this year, but Iknow it's my best project. And so
right now I'm focused on making music. You know what I'm saying, um
making money because I gotta like supportmaking the music and making the connection for
(38:30):
my people. So that like,when I get all that information out there,
it's a wide neckcast. All right, man, so uh, last
matter least, let's recap it,everybody, man, United Center, United
Center. It's so. But here'sthe thing I want to just remind people.
I I threw the largest concert everat White Sox Stated. And when
(38:52):
we put out the tickets, well, I call it White Sox State.
I'm not calling it, guarantee.I never say that. Sometimes I call
it socks thirty fifth, you knowwhat I'm saying. But I call it
a lot of them, but Idon't call it. But when we did
that concert there, the day wehad Kanye, we had Tyler, two
(39:12):
chains, a little oozy. Everybodycame out of least keys. When we
did that concert, it was acheap ticket and a lot of people did
that box stuff where they bought upall the tickets and we weren't able to
get it to the fans immediately.So what I did was I went and
took back a whole bunch of tickets, and I stood in a lot of
different places at Heralds, at Leaders, at all these different places and hand
(39:35):
to hand move the tickets to makesure that my people in the rack got
their tickets. And so just knowwho I am and expect that, like
the shows, hold out. Butif you stay locked in, if you
follow me on I call me onTwitter, you know I'd be here in

(43:04):
sir. It's the best damn morningshow in Chicago. Zach Bug in
the building myself to Destin legend,Leon Rogers, white boy, Ryan behind
the board doing what he normally do, talk Craigs to people on the phone
and try to butter him up,but giving him a ticket. Yep,
hey, listen man, sound Soyou know what I've learned a lot on
this show to that I've learned todaythat I'm an objective person that when some
(43:29):
a team of mind does something wrong, I could come forth and say they
dropped the ball on that, right, Chicago Cubs dropped the ball on the
Billy Williams bobblehead Dogs, number twentysix on that and not number one.
I could do that. Ryan wouldnever do that about his team that he
pulled. He would act he wouldact like he would act like, you
(43:49):
know, people don't get in thefights at the sale or jump over the
railing and go attack third baseline coachesin the Kansas City Royals. I remember
that, but Ryan would never saythat. He wouldn't do it on their
woody. I don't remember when thathappened, you know, I'm saying what
I can't speak on it, thatwe wouldn't mess up someone numb that is,
that is messed up, though,Lee's I got it. That's tough.
(44:12):
We bounced back though. Yeah,you know what I'm saying, we
all But what we can always dois turn and look in the cabinet for
twenty sixteen and looking see the lasttrophy won by World Series team in Chicago,
looks on the news right now,Well it sucks that what you learned
today, Well, the thing isI learned that I didn't know how far
back Leon and Chance went. Youknow what I'm saying of Mike, there
(44:35):
was off Mike conversations. He washaving um about you know how long even
knowing young young sixteen seventeen year oldkid used to come in to leaders Man
and messed with Corton And that's howI first met him. And one day
he was just like, yo,big bro, I'm gonna be a rapper.
I ain't see him for like threeweeks and next thing you know,
he gone. So I've always hada greater respect for him and his brother
(45:00):
and his family's father. Ken goodgood people, man, good dudes.
That's that's super dope. Also,um, I learned that this finals,
this NBA Finals, that watch it'svery vanilla. I think y'all underappreciating we're
about to see some good basketball.Jamal Murray. Okay, if Jamal Murray
get off, it's just not excitingthough, because the big name started.
(45:22):
You don't have the Curry and theLebron. But I don't have a storyline
either. What you mean Jimmy Butlerfrom the Dirt Homeless Nine the Finals leading
a team of unsigned guys. Allthese guys weren't drafted. Denver Yoki coming
(45:43):
from a war to one country withhis brothers doing it real big Croatia.
Jamal Murray coming back from a severeknee injury he had last year which he
didn't play. It's a lot ofstories that's not as exciting. So what
what story would it be for StephCurry? Just let's say it's Steph Curry
then playing Boston. Okay, what'sthe story? I think? Was Steph
Curry? Them? That means okay, Steph could win his fifth ring?
(46:06):
Could that make him a go over? Would it be the Steph decade or
the Lebron? You know, eraif you used to get another ring,
it's still the Lebron era because Lebronhas more league MVPs and more finals MVPs
than him. Then you got thenit's still something. But Boston would have
made history last night if they wouldhave won that game, it was a
story. So if they didn't,that would have been if they would have
(46:28):
made the finals in the Eastern Conference. What does that have to do with
the finals? Okay, then youknow they you know, the Lakers and
the Celtics are tied for most championshipsever exactly and having one more to put
the Celtics over, So like theLakers were playing the Celtics, that would
be a bear. Or nobody wantsto go to Denver. Bro Miami's popping.
Nobody wants to go to Denver Denveraspen Bro ask nobody, have you
(46:52):
ever been asked me? Don't goto ask me first? Then I game?
That's not true, Cup, andbe you craz up, nobody get
beat up over there, Yes,sir, the best damn morning show in
Chicago. Look, got a littletreat for you before we get up out
