The man. The myth. The legend. Chancellor Jonathan Bennet, AKA Chance the Rapper, is a force to be reckoned with both musically and politically. Not only does this man have rhymes, he also has an immense love for people and his hometown community of Chicago.

His music touches people on a personal level, and his fight to solve injustices in the world make him a role model for many of his fans. Here are a few other reasons that Chance the Rapper is one of the best in the music business and the world.

1. He’s an independent artist, free of a record deal.

This is not due to lack of desire from recording companies wanting Chance. Since he blew up on SoundCloud, companies have been begging to get Chance on their team, but Chance won't even hear it.

With the absence of a record deal, Chance is allowed to have control over his content. He chooses his own actions, and he stands as an example and role model for any independent musician looking for the same success without a binding contract.

2. His music can either pump you up or put you in your feels.

Have you heard “No Problem” yet? What about his feature on Cardi B's "Best Life"? That song will get you through the hardest workout and give you the energy to spare.

“Favorite song” will have you jamming in Abercrombie once your work is finished! However, if you are looking for some heartfelt songs that will give you a one-way ticket into your feels, “Same Drugs” and “Juke Jam” will send you there first class.

3. He’s Daddy, literally.

Go to Chance’s Instagram right now and try to tell me that Chance and his daughter Kensli aren’t the cutest. That’s right. You can’t. Anybody that keeps up with Chance knows that his number one fan is his daughter and that that love goes both ways.

Even though he can’t always be there, Chance is a great father who tries his best to make Kensli happy.

Also, he's a very attractive man that could definitely be my baby daddy if he wanted.

4. All of his music is free!

Yes, you heard that right. Every Chance song is FREE, whether it’s on SoundCloud, Spotify, or any other streaming service. Chance makes his money through touring and other services such as meet and greets. Again, this allows Chance the freedom to do what he wants to do with his career.

5. He works hard to change the Chicago injustices

If you know anything about Chance, you know he is an amazing artist and his love for Chicago is monumental. Through his songs and through his actions, Chance is opening the eyes of the public to the injustices that citizens in Chicago's face.

He works hard to give back to the community he was raised in and fight back against the wrongdoings of corrupt organizations. Some of the issues he is very passionate about are the public school systems and police brutality.

6. His tribute to Muhammad Ali

Have you ever heard this tribute to Muhammad Ali? If not, you are truly missing out. Not only is this a beautiful, breathtaking piece but it is also a wonderful tribute to a great leader in the sports community. Chance does a wonderful job at capturing the attention of millions and shedding light on the impact of Ali.

7. He brings positivity to the rap genre

Finally, listening to Chance the Rapper will always put you in a good mood honestly. Whether it’s a feature or his own content, he will always hype you up or put a smile on your face.

He just has a certain sound about him that just gives you a good feeling, and the way that he carries himself through life is admirable.

We Heart It

Over the past decade, television has undergone a very crucial transition: the incorporation of female lead characters. Since it's a known fact that girls actually do run the world (Beyonce said so herself), it's time for the leading ladies of the small screen to get some credit. Without these characters, women would still be sitting in the background of our favorite shows. These women are not only trailblazers for female empowerment, but role models for women worldwide. With that, here are 15 of the smartest, sassiest ladies gracing our screens that remind us that women do, indeed, rule:

If you are like me, you have an interesting personality. Basically, you love to be sassy and snarky, gossip, and act like a total bitch (not really), but deep down, you are actually a very genuinely nice person. The idea of actually hurting someone truly makes you feel bad, and you probably have never actually hurt someone’s feelings because your kindness always shines through, even if you do not want it to. Not sure exactly what I would call this type of personality, but if you identify with it, here are some feelings you can undoubtedly relate to.
