Seems like they want him to attract younger fans.

Young folks? Hell, I'm 39yo and dig some Chance...."Acid Rap" is amazing.

Love Chance. Saw him a few years ago when he was included on Childish Gambino's tour. Acid Rap is a classic.

Don't know who Chance is but if he's a Sox fan and can help put more butts in the seats then I'm all for it.

I must be really old now.. no idea who that is.

Those hats are actually pretty damn good

For those who don't know Chance....here's a taste of a few songs of his that I like.

 

 

 

And now since he's taken on a more role-model position for the youth of Chicago, he does more positive and "cleaner" songs like...

Chance LaRoche?

Will there be Chance encounters at games?

Really like this kid, glad he is on board.

 

can he play rf?

Don't know his music but when I see him on talk shows, he seems down to earth and a good role model. Does a lot for the city.

 

Those hats he's producing though...no thanks.

That's awesome news. So cool.

This is a pretty solid move for the White Sox. Pretty PR savvy.

I imagine he'll end up doing a concert at the park this summer as well.

never heard of him so listened to one of his songs....something about b****es. nice.

I noticed that in his commercial, the retired numbers are still behind home plate. It must have been shot a while ago?

It sounds like they are still located behind homeplate, and the mural/artwork is in addition, not a replacement. Which is a good thing.

I am a massive hip hop head. IMO Chance is one of the most talented "crossover" (mainstream and backpack rap) MCs out there right now. He's Kendrick Lamar circa 2013, just waiting on the one big album that makes him a household name across the country. His flow is tight and as he matures he should be able to take his lyrics into more risque areas.

 

Great signing for the Sox.

Chicago Tribune has pictures of the 3 'Chance The Rapper' limited edition hats. I don't care for the look at all, plus article indicates the hats will be "priced between $40 and $50". LOL, no thanks.

I like 'em. But at that price, I don't like 'em that much. Bet my son would like one though.

The inspired stroke of PR genius, evidenced early. RT @sm23 @MattSpiegel670 Chance White Sox hats went on sale at 11. sold out by 11:08.

 

Was on his site within the first few seconds that the hats were available. Was going to buy the black one until I noticed they were all snapbacks.

You and me both. Super bummed they weren't fitted. Was going to buy one of each.
