Watch Chance The Rapper’s In-Depth Interview With Katie Couric
In which Chance speaks about Chicago, the Grammys, and staying independent.
Chance The Rapper once shouted out Katie Couric on his Acid Rap track "Paranoia." Now he's sitting down to an interview with the Yahoo news anchor in which they discussed everything from his Grammy success to his vision for the future of his hometown, Chicago. They also found time for a game of Rock, paper, scissors too.
The 15-minute interview was filmed in Chicago at local restaurant Harold’s Chicken Shack, Asked about the violence in the city. Chance said “What’s happening is bogus,” and added: “As individual acts, it’s, you know, it’s terrifying and also sad. The respect for life is little [to] none in the city because we don’t really feel like people care about us. There’s a lot of things that I wasn’t exposed to or didn’t understand or know about until I went downtown. It’s literally like a different city over there.”
