Sad Moth Music brings you the new Chance the Rapper Concert Experience

We haven't written about o'l Chancey B Raps in weeks now, so I thought it was time to fill the quota.  This whole thing happened because I guess Peter Cottontale of the Social Experiement is some Bienen kid's roommate, so he decided to show up at Northwestern last month for what was dubbed very mysteriously as an "idea party".  I have a lot ideas, so many in fact that I decided I was willing to suggest a few of the shittier ones to Chance the Rapper.  For a price, of course.

The first thing that occurred when I walked in was that we had to sign an honest to god fucking waiver, so when they stole my amazing ideas I wasn't gonna see any of the coin.  You think I'm fallin for that shit Chance my man?  If it's hardball you want, it's hardball you'll get.

As you can see, I used one of my many super-secret identities instead of my real one.  Checkmate Chancelor!  You think I'll just sign away my life that easy?  

The event began as a Q&A with Peter Cottontale, the dude who plays the keyboards and arrange's Chance's production.

The conversation was pretty much a whole lot of mundane questions about how Peter makes music and what's going on in his life and stuff.  There were some terrible questions laced in their too, like, "I've noticed that recently rappers such as Kanye and Chance have been using gospel influence on their albums.  Can you talk about how gospel influences the music you create?" some kid with an overly articulate voice and his question written down on a notepad asked.  "Uh, yeah, that's just like, music I grew up with." Peter Cottontale responded.

But after the Q&A came the real event.  We were ushered into another room for the "idea party".  We were sat down at tables with various tools of the brainstorming trade -- construction paper, glitter, streamers, markers, crayons, all the good stuff.  We were told that we were going to help design the new Chance the Rapper Concert Experience®.  Over the course of the next hour, I worked feverishly, developing a complex schematic to maximize performance energy, fan engagement, and general dankness.

Let's break down what we're seeing here.  On the top left, we have a drone that looks like Parliament's mothership using its soda cannons to spray different flavors of Fanta on the audience (represented here by some fun confetti).  This is in no way inspired by Insane Clown Posse I assure you I came up with the idea independently.  In the center, dominating the stage, is a 250 foot tall inflatable Chance the Rapper that may or may not shoot flames out of its mouth.  On stage right is a projector projecting a live feed of the concert onto the moon, so the concert can be seen on one whole hemisphere.

"Wow, great going sport! That's so creative!" Peter Cottontale said when I gave him a look at my schematics.  He bent down to my height and tousled my hair.  "We've got some macaroni and glitter glue on the table over there, you wanna really make that thing sparkle!"

"No sir," I replied shaking my head adamantly, "It's perfect just the way it is."

"Hey, you're perfect just the way you are, and don't you forget it," he replied, bopping me on the shoulder and giving me a sticker.
