Chance the Rapper for mayor?

Full disclosure: I have a super crush on Chance the Rapper.  In part because of his adorable face, but mostly because of his ongoing efforts to rescue the city he grew up in from total despair. chance the rapper receives chicago’s outstanding youth of the year award from the mayor rahm emanuel in 2014 So when I learned of an online campaign to get the musician to run for Mayor of his hometown, Chicago. The website Chano4Mayor.com developed by four 20somethings, states that Chicago needs a new mayor in 2019 — a sentiment echoed by the rapper himself in a story in Complex magazine last year — given the closure of schools and mental health clinics, and systemic problems in the Police Department. “We want a mayor who will fight for public education. We want a mayor who will reinvest in black and brown communities on the South and West sides. We want a mayor who will address our epidemic of gun violence without the brutality of police or prisons,” said the site, which went live Sunday. Its creators think Chance is the right person for the job, pointing out the work he has done to give back to Chicago, not the least of which was a promise of $1,000,000 of his own money to help inner city schools.  My man walks the walk. The Lollapalooza headliner sits on the board of trustees for the DuSable Museum of African American History and will be grand marshal of this year’s Bud Billiken Parade.

Comparing Young Thug to historical paintings is amazing

Hajar Benjida attends a performing arts school in the Netherlands where she studies photography. When the class was told to draw inspiration from the work at a local museum, and create an original project.  Benjida admits she waited till the last minute. Benjida’s procrastination is our reward. “I drew inspiration from this artist who researched thousands of selfies of other people, and based on that, he made the ultimate guide to the perfect selfie. I had so many photos of Young Thug on my phone, so I just looked through them all and found some combinations. I actually had no idea what to do for this assignment until I came up with this the night before class and presented my idea in a PowerPoint in the morning. It’s the perfect combination of two of my favourite things: hip hop and classical art.” The result is an Instagram account of wonderfully mirroring images of Young Thug against the masters of art.  Enjoy: Man and boy in Algiers by Anders Zorn (1887) A post shared by Young Thug as paintings (@youngthugaspaintings) on Feb 5, 2017 at 12:44pm PST   ??
