Album Review: Star Line by Chance the Rapper
Fairly Good, Based on 2 Critics
Based on rating 6/10
Unfortunately, that stop on SNL was in promotion of Chance's much-maligned 2019 outing, The Big Day, the record that abruptly ended his prolific run. While generally well-received by major publications upon release, fan pushback was scathing, and the onslaught of memes and jokes at its expense was rampant. The album's reception was so detrimental to Chance's career and reputation, that he went from being one of the biggest rappers of the 2010s to not being mentioned at all.
Opinion: Excellent
For rap fans, 2025 is turning in to a banner year. New releases from hallowed partnerships like Clipse are spotlighting the depth that elder statesmen can call on, revitalising expectations in the process. Few, though, anticipated new material from Chance the Rapper. 'STAR LINE' is his first album since 2019 , his first music project of any kind this decade.
