Chance the Rapper allows Twitch streamer to play his music in exchange for custom PC Instagram, @ChanceTheRapper \/ Twitter, @KristoferYeeIn order to bypass Twitch\u2019s DMCA rules, streamer Kristofer Yee, who builds custom PCs, contacted Chance the Rapper to secure permissions to play his music \u2014 and the rapper seems very interested. Chance the Rapper has a list full of awards and nominations (including four Grammy nods) and a whopping 8.2 million Twitter followers. As an independent artist, the incredibly popular performer is also capable of dictating who is allowed to use his music and who is not. On the flip side, Yee has amassed quite the reputation building luxurious \u2014often exuberant\u2014 custom PCs and keyboards, much of the time while streaming live on Twitch. He\u2019s got over 190,000 followers on the platform, as well as nearly 100,000 more on Twitter. Possibly thinking of his audience\u2019s ears, Yee decided he ought to try reaching out to one his favorite artists to try and get permissions. Twitch DMCA violations are a controversial issue and getting a Chance co-sign would help bypass any problems. Fortunately, upon reaching out on Twitter, it seems that Chance is interested in making something happen. Those making inquiries can take a page out of Yee\u2019s book, as he showed perfect form in hitting Chance with a request. Greeting the artist with a casual, but polite \u201chey,\u201d he proceeded to compliment him and indicate his intentions: \u201cI love your music and want to play it on my stream.\u201d That\u2019s a quality move that any father would be happy to see, as movie tropes dictate, that all hopeful boyfriends must confidently tell their girlfriend\u2019s dad what their intentions are. But Yee continued in clean fashion. \u201cI build custom high-end PCs on Twitch. Can we work something out?\u201d While Yee\u2019s Twitter banner mentions \u201cbudget building,\u201d he\u2019s sure to mention \u201chigh-end\u201d instead. That\u2019s a quality play when talking to a multimillionaire. Having made PCs for high-profile streamers like Lily Pichu, Yee isn\u2019t lying when he says he makes some deluxe computers. And, possibly out of a love for streamers, possibly out of appreciation for Yee\u2019s approach \u2014 or possibly due to a blend of both \u2014 Chance seems interested. The Grammy-nominated rapper simply responded with a succinct: \u201cFor sure!\u201d Now, their conversation moves to the DMs and fans wait to find out just what kind of custom PC might be enough to secure rights to play your favorite musician\u2019s discography on stream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
