The Coloring Book rapper popped up at a City Council meeting last night to rip Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel's proposal to build a $95 million police academy public-safety training campus on the West Side of the city. Chance argued that the $95 million should go towards the school in Chicago to build pools, new libraries, museums, hell anything that would could elevate their education.The mayor was super shady when Chance walked up to speak. Homie got up and walked out.
“I guess the mayor had to step out when I came up but it’s cool cause because I came to talk to you guys right now,” Chance said to the council.
It’s reported the mayor stepped out to wish his mother a Happy Birthday, which he couldnt do before or after the conference. Get outta here........
The 24-year-old rapper kept talking:
“Financially, this proposed plan doesn’t make sense. We don’t have $95 million. They’re just asking for $10 million today to purchase the land. But we don’t have the rest of the money to do it, so why let them go ahead with this right now? There’s a lot of different services that need to be funded.”
“It would be awesome, though, if we could get them pools at their school or a new library or a museum or any of the things that are proposed in the budget for this $95 million cop academy,” Chance said.
“You guys have a lot of power . . . That’s the reason I showed up at 8 a.m. It’s because I feel like maybe, if you guys just hear me say it” it might make a difference,” Chance said.
Chance put up a good fight, but the city council shot it down and voted to have the $95 million police academy built, 48 to 1. While this may seem like a failure, its actions like these that are going to ultimately change the environments we want to be changed for the better. We hope Chance going to speak at the city council will inspire other rappers and entertainers to return to their hood and speak up for the people still living there.
