They found each other

RAUNER TO MEET WITH CHANCE THE RAPPER

CHICAGO - Chance the Rapper is a popular Chicago-based Grammy Award winner, and he's meeting Wednesday with Governor Rauner to discuss education funding, he Tweeted
Monday. Over 50,000 "liked" Chance's message and over 8,000 re-Tweeted it.

The governor answered back:

Chance the Rapper has some interesting ideas to hear about, such as these from his hit "Smoke Again" - lyrics found via Google and YouTube.

Chance is unique in that he has thus far refused to sign with a record label, and livestreams much of his work. He was featured on Yahoo! Finance and they explained how he makes his money:

By bypassing any complicated relationship with a record label, Chance said he has bolstered his relationship with consumers. The rapper’s independence has made Chance’s fans that much more loyal, and they often support him through his merchandise shop — his main source of revenue.

Chance’s signature “3” New Era Cap retails for $45 each and his $50 “No Problem” and “Coloring Book” hoodies have become ubiquitous among teens and adults alike.

In addition to his paraphernalia, Chance also makes money from concert tickets, of course. He has nearly 40 shows scheduled for his spring tour starting in April.

So Chance the Rapper's an entrepeneur and a powerful force in Chicago's black community - two aspects that must be very appealing to Illinois' investor/billionaire/Governor.

Still - the Governor didn't have time or interest in visiting with Donald Trump at the White House?

Music, videos and mugshots are for entertainment and disincentive purposes only. Any similarities or resemblances to people or pets, living, dead or imprisoned is just your imagination. Some stories are true, some are fictional while some of the stories are funny.

The theme of this blog has changed. We are now headed into a period of extreme political and economic troubles. We want to increase everyone's awareness and show them how to weather the storm. We are going to begin including articles and videos on prepping (food, water, shelter, medicine, self-defense,) basic economics and general SHTF lifestyle changes.

I am not going to be critical of 19th ward politicians. They tend to do the best job they can with very limited resources, and don't need to be beaten up. In fact, people should be helping them as they are among the last "normal" leaders in Illinois.

I am keeping the 19th Ward Chicago name because of the rich blog history going back to 2010 and because there is a ready-made base of similar-thinking readers. For now on, the 19th Ward of Chicago will be mainly a point of reference, an observation deck if you will. A place where allot of good-natured, normal-thinking people still live and can safely view the dysfunction overtaking America. Write whatever you want about whatever or whomever you want. Just keep it true and not vulgar.

At all times, we am going to comply with Blogspot's community standards. We have seen what happens when there is not such compliance.

We will never publish threats of physical violence or baseless attacks on people or institutions.
