Magnificent Coloring Day was surely a God’s dream. When Chance the Rapper—a south-side native who’s finessed a ten-day school suspension into a record-breaking music career—stood teary-eyed as a sold-out U.S. Cellular Field recited every lyric and ad-libbed Igh! from his three mixtapes, it felt like a victory for all of them, not just for Chance.
However, it wouldn’t be a music festival without complications.
The scene was like something from a 1990s Michael Jackson concert. Some people fainted, and others were carted off the field on stretchers or in wheelchairs after injuring themselves trying to get to the stage.
“Are you ready for your blessing? Are you ready for your miracle?” Chance sang.
