Chance the Rapper - Star Line (August 15, 2025) • Page 11

Acid Rap is one of my favorite albums of all time

I'm so glad we finally have a fucking date for this, the album art is great

 

A bunch of dorks definitely tanked the reputation of what was actually a good record

 

My main hope for this new album is that it’s concise. The Big Day was an 80 min slog and he’s had five years to overthink this.

 

16 tracks and "90% are new"

 

I like that so much more than the album version

 

Yeah that version works way better for the vibe his flow goes for

 

Really glad he is not going for arenas this time…he is just not at that level anymore and I am glad they seemingly recognize that. A lot of these shows are in ~3,000 capacity venues.

 

Definitely gonna see him for old time's sake but he's unfortunately going to my least favorite venue in the entire DMV area

 

8 tracks available now if you pre-order the album

 

The CD is only $8? I have no use for a CD but that seems cheap!

 

Preordered the digital copy. Album has 16 tracks.

 

calling it now this will be a decent album that will flop extremely hard

 

I don't really think it CAN flop, there's zero expectations and he clearly isn't shooting for a blockbuster

 

Yea I imagine he's fairly realistic about his reach now post-The Big Day fallout

 

Yeah, from what he said on the livestream, it sounds like this is more of a grassroots-type album, where I think Coloring Book and The Big Day had some additional outside funding. I think Chance is spending his own money on this, so its ceiling is fairly limited.

 

All of these songs are pretty low energy and the hooks are mostly whatever but I’m really liking it so far.

Edit: Yeah, pretty good stuff. Very chill. Excited for the rest.

 

Will this be on streaming? Or is it only going to be available from him? I’m confused by the rollout.

 

It will be on streaming

 

I gave him 8 bucks for the CD even though I'm not expecting much. he's more than earned a preorder... haven't given him money since his tour in like 2014 and he's released a bunch of music that I like over the years.

 

Yeah that Fallon performance is way better than the recorded version. I do like the song but that smino part is useless

 

Not sure if this is controversial but I actually like that he's putting years-old songs like The Highs and Lows on here, I really liked pretty much every song of the long ass rollout and they deserve a home on a full-length

 

I like Space & Time a lot.

Edit: I also like Link Me In the Future a lot.

 

Together was a great song. Is that on the tracklist too?
