Chicago is known to produce many great artist, regardless of the music genre. Chicago has bred rappers and singers such Common, Lupe Fiasco, G Herbo, Jennifer Hudson, Muddy Waters, and more. Many of these artist have had great impacts on the Chicago culture but one rapper that goes by Chance The Rapper stands out the most to me. Chance The Rapper, an extraordinary artist born and raised in the same neighborhood as myself has made his way as one of Kanye West’s biggest prodigies. He has influenced not only Chicago but an entire nation with his accomplishments which explains why he should have a wikipedia page dedicated to him. . Chancelor Johnathan Bennett is one that Chicago is most proud of, one that deserves much more recognition than the …show more content…
As an editor of his wikipedia page, I’d talk about his child’s mother and his fight back against child support which would cause controversy. There would be controversial information on my wiki-page about his run in with director David Ayer about the film “Bright”. Chance The Rapper is a social media bird meaning he’s very active on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter. His main social media source is Twitter so he is always tweeting about many of the events he’s done, his achievements, concerts, family, etc just to keep his fans updated and intune with things in his life. Since his twitter page is where he does most of his life-telling, I would look into his social media accounts and see the things that he post daily. This is considered valuable and reliable information because it’s coming from his personal experience. Chance also has a link on his twitter page that has his songs, clothing gear, his accomplishments and more which is also very useful for gathering …show more content…
As his career started to develop and expand, he began to become closer to God and his family. Chance was not a perfect father which caused the mishap with child support and his daughters mother. The entry mentions his child support situation involving the mother of his child which may be controversial. It somewhat touches on how the news reporter gained information on the subject and insight from his point of view. The article includes all images of his live performances where he is happy, live, pumping the crowd up. Although the images could use some variety, it does compliment him and gives emphasis on him as an artist. There could be more images of his family, him and the Obamas, etc just to show thats he’s more than just music. This leads me to fact-checking and how important is to do so. As previously stated, Chance uses social outlets often to inform fans and keep them in the loop with his life. There are some sources in this article who are credible such as the news reporters, his brother (Taylor Bennett), and people that he’s worked with. The entry could use a lot more sources simply because a lot of information is given and considered “facts” such as his views on other artist, his beliefs etc but does not show where the information came from leaving readers to be confused about how accurate the entry
