Chance The Rapper Shares Video of Himself Beatboxing While Alec Baldwin Raps

Chance The Rapper has shared a video of himself on Instagram in which he beatboxes while Alec Baldwin-- THE Alec Baldwin-- raps over said beat. Baldwin's lyrics are excerpted from the Carl Sandburg poem, "Chicago". Watch it below.

According to the post:

This is me beatboxing while Alec Baldwin raps, he is for the people. Him, Alfred Woodard and Ali from Tribe came thru the city to help raise money for YCA, the organization that built and developed myself and @Malcolmlondon into the leaders we have become. Give it up for them. Beautiful leaders we can all learn from #Chicago#LongLiveTheYoung

YCA, or Young Chicago Authors, is a Chicago-based arts organization that engages youth in the act of storytelling through spoken word, verse, traditional journalism, playwriting, fiction and many other forms.

Baldwin's lyrics, excerpted from "Chicago":

" ...for I have seen your painted women under the gas lamps luring the farm boys./ And they tell me you are crooked and I answer: Yes, it is true I have seen the gunman kill and go free to kill again."

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
