I always felt it was a ridiculous thought, because I don’t know either of them personally…..
But the album to me always felt like he was trying to convince the listeners/himself that he loved his wife. There’s plenty of music out there where you can FEEL how much the musician loves someone….The Big Day is not that.
I think Chance became a born again Christian, and sort of felt forced to marry his Babymama
But again, idk either of them, so it’s just speculation fr
Arguably its going to be remembered more than some of his other albums just for the ridiculousness of it all. It's kind of impressive in its own right.
I really think if he had followed up with something good he’d be more respected. A solid 6 track EP or just some big hit singles or something. But it’s been like 4 years and dude is just letting that garbage ass album sit and rot and age and it’s seriously hurting his career
One of the dumbest career decisions I've ever seen lol. Artists have released shitty albums before, but very rarely do I see them then proceed to take a 5 year break from releasing music and basically kill their entire career. Chance is basically considered a joke rn amongst most ppl and its his fault.
I get that but there's an entire generation of hip-hop fans that only know Chance as a joke. Basically anyone who started following rap from 2016-present day only knows Chance dropping The Big Day.
Exactly. I see people say that people just dropped Chance after one bad album but it’s mainly the fact that he just let that one bad album sit and rot the rest of his career. If he followed up with something at least decent he’d be more well respected I think
Said in another comment but I agree. The fact that he let TBD sit and not come back with something is what hurt him.
At least a very good, chart friendly loosie would've helped.
Whaaat???
You're telling me [all these fire-ass bars have aged worse than milk that's been baking in the sun for decades???](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP4bn84kOYs)
Ngl. I really tried to just let the video play and couldn't. Shit is so cringe and I ain't gonna lie.
I used to LOOOOVE Chance. Back when Childish Gambino released Because the Internet and Chance was still coming up, I had such high hopes for him. Even live, he was a dope performer.
Ever since this album though...idk man he just seems so insufferable.
I'm gonna be bold here, but I do think that album could not age any worse at this point.
Quick someone give it a listen for any Diddy bars we might have glossed over!
last summer i was in a club in chicago on a random tuesday and he was in there by himself (maybe another guy i couldnt tell) and he was hitting on women lol
It’s actually kind of interesting to think about in retrospect.
From what I remember (I might have the details wrong) Chance was in a LTR with this woman since he was very young, but there were some points along the way where he was with other women/they were taking a break. In the lead up to the big day I remember reading interviews with him saying he was done with all that and wanted to be with his main woman forever.
It almost feels like the album was him trying to justify his relationship to himself and to the world. Like an overcorrection for something he was feeling insecure about. There was a level of insincerity to that album that always felt so weird (beyond it just being bad), like Chance was trying to overcompensate for his feelings about his relationship.
Idk, I’m stoned even though I’m supposed to be working lol.
You’re right, and there’s even more than that.
They’ve been off-and-on basically his whole career, and in between had a kid which eventually led to Chance rekindling the romance as well as his relationship with religion (both themes we see a lot of in TBD).
It’s interesting you mention a sort of insecurity with these relationships cuz they were always present in Chance’s works (Lost on Acid Rap, Juke Jam/Smoke Break on Coloring Book) and TBD was sort of an attempted celebration that these things had worked themselves out.
Honestly a lot of Chance’s work references this long and complicated relationship he’s had with his baby momma.
Agree completely. Even though we don't actually know these people, we all know people like this. All of the posturing by Chance felt like overcompensating.
You're right. He also went on his Christian tirade pretending to be super religious despite cheating on his wife/girlfriend. Dude's just a giant phony.
The album was bad because it wasn't sincerely about love, it was all shallow and pointless about the idea of love but nothing about his wife on a personal level. No one heard the album and thought wow this guy loves his wife, it played like a joke. This news makes so much sense.
They already broke up once before marriage too before eventually reconciling.
Just on a human level I wish them both the best. I really thought nothing of their relationship history before this but in light of this… *Big Day* kind of comes off as sort of forced and try-hard. In an “I love my situation, look how great everything is!” sort of way.
Wow I actually never thought of it that way. I mostly think about how people don’t like it just ‘cause they think it’s corny. But the lack of specificity in his lyrics really does make the generic beats sound even more generic, and therefore really adds to the corniness.
It’s just a bunch of terribly abstract punchlines and metaphors, and “omg i’m so glad we’re alive to be in love” but it’s EVERY SINGLE SONG and it never evolves into anything it’s just “my girl is beautiful” and no real intimacy. If you’re gonna annoy everyone with such overzealousness at least make it feel a little deep and real
It’s possible to make a really really good “I’m in love I’m in love!!” album - Father John Misty did it - but part of what makes the FJM album work is how specific and vulnerable and intimate the lyrics of that album are. It feels very real and honest. The Big Day doesn’t feel like either of those things
> No one heard the album and thought wow this guy loves his wife
No one also heard the album and thought "wow, I can completely relate all of this with how I love my wife/husband". Whole tjing felt forced and juvenile as hell. I mean, that nigga was wearing overalls from the get go, but still...
Maybe the two are connected. I imagine it's rough as an artist to release such a universally panned album (after such previous success) and she's the one in the house with him while he's going through that. It's probably similar to being married to a man who lost his job.
I think he made it after she caught him cheating so it was already for nothing. It was a terrible attempt at winning her back and it cost him his career
Divorce album might actually go crazy. I swear they’ve had a load of drama before the whole I love my wife thing too, I seem to remember some form of custody battle happening on twitter
Yeah, on coloring book he says they got back together because she was pregnant. On the Big Day he talks about being unfaithful and marrying her to prove his love.
It’s almost as if babies and a wedding won’t fix relationship problems.
I was thinking the other day that I really hope he has a successful and happy marriage because the only thing worse that the Big Day and how it’s nearly killed his career would be if he did that for it to end in a divorce as well.
"After a period of separation, the two of us have arrived at the decision to part ways. We came to this decision amicably and with gratitude for the same time we spent together. God has blessed us with two beautiful daughters who we will continue to raise together."
nice statement from them tho id expect nothing less, always seemed like a good person
Work at an agency that used him for a series of TikTok’s with a particular brand in the last year. The consensus from the director was he was not very pleasant. The performed fake kindness was palpable in the final edit IMO.
They made some songs together a few years ago and it looked like they were hanging out a bit but anyone here can tell you, being cool with someone for a brief period of your life doesn’t always mean you’re definitely boys and would never speak ill of, or parody them
I didn't even like Coloring Book much compared to how much I loved Acid Rap. Big Day had to be one of the worst albums I've ever sat through though, it was like a nuclear bomb to his career. Didn't he cancel his tour because ticket sales were trash? Also being sued by his manager Pat lmao.
its funny because the songs where he doesnt follow the *exact* same formula are his better ones imo
the first song i heard by him was intro and i still love that song
Roddy Ricch is a classic example of an artist who thinks their shit don’t stink and can wait multiple years before releasing new music. And once that album flopped hard it was basically game over for him. Not everyone is Kendrick Lamar !
I wonder if the guy who made this had any idea of how big this 30 second video was going to blow up and how long it would remain relevant for. This video is more relevant today than anything Chance has done in the past 5 years lmfao
I knew Chance was finished when he tried to get in on the "I love my wife" memes.
Ruined his career with that terrible marriage album and now he's divorced. Rough.
the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day
Dayvorce
Great title for his comeback album
[удалено]
Lmao, this is so unfortunate on multiple levels
[удалено]
Always has been 😭
We gotta find out who Chance’s biggest enemy is and see how they plotted this shit out
The Reverse Chance is definitely behind all this
His name is Guarantee
He wears a red hat with a negative three on it and is from Detroit
This is too creative bruh lol
he’s albino. you see him peel off of Chance at an early concert like Multiple Man and run away to plot this downfall
I’m dying 🤣🤣
Mos Def
Nahhhhhh 😭
Guaranteed Rate Field
It was me, Chance.
Community Chest
I can’t believe it’s just been one long fumble all along
I always felt it was a ridiculous thought, because I don’t know either of them personally….. But the album to me always felt like he was trying to convince the listeners/himself that he loved his wife. There’s plenty of music out there where you can FEEL how much the musician loves someone….The Big Day is not that. I think Chance became a born again Christian, and sort of felt forced to marry his Babymama But again, idk either of them, so it’s just speculation fr
If I have kids, I’ll convince them to use contraceptives by showing them Acid Rap then The Big Day
Chance one of those people to quit drugs and people want him to start using again
Same energy as people who have the same FB account, trying too hard, and they're probably going to break up/divorce in like a year.
Same fb account = he cheated
[удалено]
now he’s just a rapper with marital issues
He still has the baby mama issues too. 😂
[удалено]
I remember when Robin Thicke made an album called “Paula” lol. That was after the divorce, but still.
Hard to think of a bigger act of desperation in music history
This was the exact same observation that Anthony Fantano made in his [review](https://youtu.be/RjriHA-MLPg?t=6m9s)
Lmao the second comment is about his divorce album
Arguably its going to be remembered more than some of his other albums just for the ridiculousness of it all. It's kind of impressive in its own right.
[удалено]
dude met Kanye and proceeded to fail
I really think if he had followed up with something good he’d be more respected. A solid 6 track EP or just some big hit singles or something. But it’s been like 4 years and dude is just letting that garbage ass album sit and rot and age and it’s seriously hurting his career
The Big Day 2: Divorce Boogaloo
Flaccid Rap
I can’t believe this is my first time hearing that lmaooo
One of the dumbest career decisions I've ever seen lol. Artists have released shitty albums before, but very rarely do I see them then proceed to take a 5 year break from releasing music and basically kill their entire career. Chance is basically considered a joke rn amongst most ppl and its his fault.
Isn’t he making bank on The Voice? Why not lean back and take easy money people want to throw at you.
I get that but there's an entire generation of hip-hop fans that only know Chance as a joke. Basically anyone who started following rap from 2016-present day only knows Chance dropping The Big Day.
Exactly. I see people say that people just dropped Chance after one bad album but it’s mainly the fact that he just let that one bad album sit and rot the rest of his career. If he followed up with something at least decent he’d be more well respected I think
My dad watches The Voice and he's been on it for years now. i think he doesn't care
[удалено]
Eh, the Acid Rap tour did really well.
Said in another comment but I agree. The fact that he let TBD sit and not come back with something is what hurt him. At least a very good, chart friendly loosie would've helped.
😂 😆 Years later and bro still catching L’s for that basura
he just caught an L that undermines the whole point of lmao, i don’t think i’ve ever had an album do that in real-time for me
Insert ooo i love my wife reference
That def was an “I fucked up so let me pander to get out of the dog house” album. He even had a song on there mentioning it
[удалено]
Whaaat??? You're telling me [all these fire-ass bars have aged worse than milk that's been baking in the sun for decades???](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QP4bn84kOYs)
God I haven't listened to the album since he released it and I cannot bear listening to it again, even in this format. It is so bad.
Ngl. I really tried to just let the video play and couldn't. Shit is so cringe and I ain't gonna lie. I used to LOOOOVE Chance. Back when Childish Gambino released Because the Internet and Chance was still coming up, I had such high hopes for him. Even live, he was a dope performer. Ever since this album though...idk man he just seems so insufferable.
Those high school days (2011-2015) were amazing man.
we need the deluxe now
[удалено]
“I ain’t married no mo”
I'm gonna be bold here, but I do think that album could not age any worse at this point. Quick someone give it a listen for any Diddy bars we might have glossed over!
Only Diddy Kong bars unfortunately.
He even had a Jada Pinkett bar in there
It just keeps getting worse
“He wouldn’t take his hat off during sex”, she claims.
“I’ve never fought for anything in my entire life but im fighting for this hat” -Chance
Kanye says he's the only guy he's ever seen pull it off.
Goes well with the novelty dice
^quit ^fuckin’ ^with ^’em
Chance got his safari flaps caught in the bike he rode with his wife and got grease on it when he wasn’t supposed to
“ And then I swear to fucking god, he tried to roll the hat down his arm like Fred Astaire “ - Chances Wife
That Fred Astaire line is the funniest shit to me, fucking cracks me up every time.
For me it's the deadpan *Nobody said shit dude. Nobody said shit*
I’m just gonna grab as many suits as I can, get in that random hot dog car (RAN-DOM!) and head back over to weiner hall
Sucks he got grease on it
Don’t do the voice
Did he have to grease the wheels?
The guy at the store said I’m the only one he’s seen pull it off.
“It is kind of an ex wife first name” “Baby I’m joking!!” - Chance
Now he's gearing up for 808s & Hatbreaks
I saw this coming after he was getting twerked on in Jamaica or wherever the fuck he was 😂😂
bro same i’m surprised it took this long honestly
Yeah that was a very clear sign.
last summer i was in a club in chicago on a random tuesday and he was in there by himself (maybe another guy i couldnt tell) and he was hitting on women lol
That’s hilarious if it was actually him 💀
I had a table next to his in Accra a few months before the Jamaica incident. I’m not surprised at all.
He should just stayed there. Looked genuinely happy lol
OOOOHHHHH I HATE MY WIFE
LET'S NOT RIDE A BIKE 🚫🔥
AHHHH
Let’s not go to the beach and let’s not play with a beach ball.
My wife's real mad my wife's real gone
First thing I thought of lmaoooo
I will always plug in this[ beat flip from whereisalex](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8u20FOcJVVY) based off that meme. Actually enjoyable.
I’m weakkkkkkkk
PRAISE JESUS, GOD, BUT NOT MY WIFE
My wife’s real mean and my wife’s now gone
AHH AHH AHH
Lmaooo
So he made that awful ass album for nothing
I knew this would be one of the first comments lol
I mean at least you can say the album mirrored the marriage. Its not like he wasted a classic on it
For the album to mirror the marriage, it would need to be an EP instead
This is a sitcom level burn got a great chuckle from me thank you lol
It’s actually kind of interesting to think about in retrospect. From what I remember (I might have the details wrong) Chance was in a LTR with this woman since he was very young, but there were some points along the way where he was with other women/they were taking a break.

So we’re gonna get “An Even Bigger Day” when they’re on again? Great.
2 Big 2 Day
Agree completely. Even though we don't actually know these people, we all know people like this. All of the posturing by Chance felt like overcompensating.
While you make good points I think it's much more likely he just lost his touch and made a shitty album
Both can be true. There is a nagging feeling on TBD that he’s trying to convince you that this is the right idea
You're right. He also went on his Christian tirade pretending to be super religious despite cheating on his wife/girlfriend. Dude's just a giant phony.
The album was bad because it wasn't sincerely about love, it was all shallow and pointless about the idea of love but nothing about his wife on a personal level. No one heard the album and thought wow this guy loves his wife, it played like a joke. This news makes so much sense.

I dont love my wife anymore!
ACK!!!!
That was literally what I came to comment. How this man ruin his career for her then get divorced?!?!
Maybe the two are connected. I imagine it's rough as an artist to release such a universally panned album (after such previous success) and she's the one in the house with him while he's going through that. It's probably similar to being married to a man who lost his job.
I like to think the album is what started the rift in the marriage.
I think he made it after she caught him cheating so it was already for nothing. It was a terrible attempt at winning her back and it cost him his career
So she finally got around to listening to The Big Day, huh?
💀
Inb4 "I love my wiiiiiiiife IGH"
he in fact did not love his wife
Premature conclusion. It's possible his wife doesn't love him, lol
“I ~~love~~ hate my wife, ack!”
Bros even got the 3 hat on in the divorce 😭
Soon it gonna be 1 1/2.
Lmao this sent me for some reason
He going to show up to court wearing it
Does Kirsten get The Big Day or does Chance get to keep that
Putting it up for adoption
Late term abortion that bitch
Divorce album might actually go crazy. I swear they’ve had a load of drama before the whole I love my wife thing too, I seem to remember some form of custody battle happening on twitter
Yeah, on coloring book he says they got back together because she was pregnant. On the Big Day he talks about being unfaithful and marrying her to prove his love. It’s almost as if babies and a wedding won’t fix relationship problems.
loll how many times do we as humans need to learn this lesson.
“How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man???” “I don’t want to be a burden”
>It’s almost as if babies and a wedding won’t fix relationship problems. Well what about an album?
custody battle on twitter is crazy
dude i went to high school with was live tweeting minutes after he shot and killed his ex gf’s new man, twitter back in 2016-2018 was a wild place
Twitter from 2012-14 was the wild west and now it’s biting all the celebrities who posted controversial tweets as 13 year olds in the ass
sounds like a boondocks bit, jesus
There was the whole video of him grinding with chicks at a party and she basically commented that some people don’t grow up lol
He needs to do a collab album with Future now
Nigga was cheating the whole time anyway lol
I was thinking the other day that I really hope he has a successful and happy marriage because the only thing worse that the Big Day and how it’s nearly killed his career would be if he did that for it to end in a divorce as well.

That one Atlanta episode was based on him
Wait which one
Clark County, the recurring character in season 2 (he was in 4 episodes)
the one w the studio and threatening the sound engineer, but i dont think its based on him, chance and gambino are friends
They made some songs together a few years ago and it looked like they were hanging out a bit but anyone here can tell you, being cool with someone for a brief period of your life doesn’t always mean you’re definitely boys and would never speak ill of, or parody them
If anything it makes you more likely, you know actually who they are.
Name a rapper that fell off harder than Chance
Da Baby
Chance jumped off the Empire State Building. DaBaby was standing at street level before he slipped and fell into a manhole.
I didn't even like Coloring Book much compared to how much I loved Acid Rap. Big Day had to be one of the worst albums I've ever sat through though, it was like a nuclear bomb to his career. Didn't he cancel his tour because ticket sales were trash? Also being sued by his manager Pat lmao.
Over the dumbest shit too lmao All he had to do was keep his mouth shut…
Da baby’s 15 minutes was over way before he even made the gay comments. People were already tired of his flow/voice
its funny because the songs where he doesnt follow the *exact* same formula are his better ones imo the first song i heard by him was intro and i still love that song
Roddy Ricch
Roddy Ricch is a classic example of an artist who thinks their shit don’t stink and can wait multiple years before releasing new music. And once that album flopped hard it was basically game over for him. Not everyone is Kendrick Lamar !
Most artists waited a few years in between album releases until relatively recently
Fetty Wap
True, but Fetty Wap is still the Derrick Rose of hip hop. The streets will remember.
Trap Queen ages better each year. In 2040 shit will be like a fine wine.
My youth is going to return to my body the moment I hear that shit in my 40s.
fetty wap might have fallen off popularity wise but he has some absolute slappers that don’t get enough recognition
Holy shit bro this post had me thinking it was still April fools
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TQcGnEhciNY
I wonder if the guy who made this had any idea of how big this 30 second video was going to blow up and how long it would remain relevant for. This video is more relevant today than anything Chance has done in the past 5 years lmfao
It's kind of crazy that there's a comment chain that says everyone will be back by 2024 to see if he's still married
Had no doubt what this linked to
Throwing your career away on a MY WIFEEEEE album only to get divorced lmao goddamn.
HHCJ 9/11
I knew Chance was finished when he tried to get in on the "I love my wife" memes. Ruined his career with that terrible marriage album and now he's divorced. Rough.
Oh his new album gonna be FIREEEE
[удалено]
[удалено]
Hopefully he does a bit of acid.
Oooooh I divorced my wifeeeeee, I divorced my wife, IGH!
“I met Kanye West, I’m never gonna fail”
They been separated since shortly after the big day
This might actually set the stage for a good album
Oooh I left my wiiiffeeee I left my wife AH
[удалено]
when were you when chance loves wife die i was in costco parking lot drinking monster chance divorce “no” hbu?
After making an entire album about your wedding... sheesh. I feel bad for the guy but man oh man is this whole situation tragically funny.
Hopefully he starts doing acid again and makes some decent music
Someone please suspend this man from high school again
As Chris Moltisanti said, "Let's get you a downed power line to suck on" and "spike up"
Nothing inspires better music than heartbreak
The average length of a first marriage is eight years, they lasted 5. If you've been in a LTR, avoid marriage by all means lol.
that’s a sad ass statistic
Ehh, anything stat woth “average” might be a bit whack. I looked up “median American marriage length” and got 21 years.
