Over the weekend Chance the Rapper was given an honorary Doctorates degree at Dillard University, along with the pleasure of delivering their commencement speech.
Chance made mention of Beyonce’s Coachella set, and went on to say that the star studded entertainer’s performance was better than any performance Michael Jackson has ever done….
Yes…Chance the Rapper said it, and stood by his HEAVY statement.
While some did not agree with his opinion, the Bey Hive loved it.
Here were his exact words…
“Beyoncé’s performance was better than any performance Michael Jackson ever did,” ….“That woman, better than Mike. Black woman, better than Mike. I said it! I understand that’s upsetting to a few people here, probably … We have to erase the fear and stigma behind eclipsing our heroes.”
Generations of little black kids have been mesmerized before the TV screen or YouTube, watching as Mike seemed to do the impossible. One of those little black kids would grow up to be someone especially amazing….She would do more than just copy Mike. She would surpass him. And now, I’m going to tell you about the greatest performance put on by the greatest performer of all time, and it wasn’t Mike.”
