Chicago artist Chance the Rapper appeared on the latest episode of Saturday Night Live on 18 November.
In a sketch featuring Questlove and Common, Chance appears as a rap OG who schools a fake Lil Pump – named Lil Doo Doo – on rap history. He details the 70s, during which he was known as OG rapper ‘Kool Kenny Blade’ in the fictional collective Soul Crush Crew. His signature look was tight trousers with chains and no underwear. In the sketch, the rap crew made music about “poppin’ pills, sippin’ lean” and were the only “pro-crack” artists from the genre. The other two members of his collective were played by Kenan Thompson and Chris Redd.
Chance also sang a Thanksgiving song on the episode, and appeared in a series of comedy sketches in which he alluded to Batman’s discriminatory attitude to his neighbourhood, pleaded for Barack Obama to make a return and played Steve Harvey’s son.
