The mission of '8 Mile' is essentially to garner sympathy for a white rapper involved in an old-school shootout - a rap contest. This may be the final frontier for pop, more unbelievable than the prospect of launching a member of 'N Sync into orbit.

Hip hop in my veins, if you cut cut me I will bleed.

Cuz even a gangsta rapper can find redemptionFor the sins committed before revelation.

I know one thing for sho Heaven’s gotta have a ghettoCuz where else in death do I get to go?

'Chance the Rapper' is many things. I'm constantly evolving.

I had zero idea of what I was doing.. I honestly had no idea where to start. All I knew was I had something I craved to say.. I wanted to create art that lived on longer than I do. Perseverance and teaching yourself, every day through stress and hard work proves shit really does progress without you realizing. One minute you're an amateur, knowing nothing, not even the basics. The next you can put pen to paper, write a song, and create art in such little time! It's crazy beautiful.

Get rich or die trying.

Winner goes with the flow, History Maker against the flow.

This twisted cat and mouse game always starts the sameFirst we're both down to play and somehow you go astray.

When I was at Upright Citizens Brigade, I would pretend to be a sad, drunk rapper.
