Chance the Rapper continues to push musical boundaries with a new music video for 'Same Drugs' featuring a large cast of vocalists. The song features: Eryn Allen Kane, Yebba, John Legend, Francis Starlite and Macie Stewart. Chance the Rapper captures the imagination and hearts of viewers with a duet with an oversized puppet. The music video is a beautiful piece of visual art to connect with a soulful, self-destructive look at drug abuse. We suggest that any form of drug intake should be always used with caution. This video does walk a thin line between using puppets that would normally attract

It did poorly for Facebook, but advertisers kept throwing money away with their advertising system. This 500 million dollar loss is a fraction of the profit they made in the fourth quarter of 2016 alone. With the amount of money the company is making overall, it would make
