shows humility, he got no reason to do that since he's already a multimillionaire trust fund man

[@Walnutt30]

Y'all keep hating and you're gonna miss a fucking master class. This man Pat made it off genuine personality and a fuck-ton of hustle. Much respect where respect is due.

[@everydaydre1185]

Joseph Thornton This story doesn't hold water. A manager who can't stand up to his parents?

[@everydaydre1185]

Joseph Thornton We also all know theyre hardly 100% indie.

[@everydaydre1185]

Joseph Thornton Master Class is based in your level of knowledge and level of play.

[@traceyrwaugh9267]

yes ndeed! I take notes on all points in each video!

[@Keesha_Hardy]

Mr. Cato What are you talking about? He totally stood up to his parents.

[@DanielGomez-nn7qk]

"We were learning - which was really fun." That's the key.

[@ankitbbpssingh]

This guy Pat and Chance are so passionate about music as an art form its unreal. Not signing with a music label as a struggling artist, not chasing the royalties, giving the music out for free all this is so inspiring. I hope more people follow suit and appreciate their hustle and grind. Major props.

[@joshyyy23]

Pat seems like a really down to earth cool dude

Artist need more videos like this...I love how complex, and XXL and other platforms how they really expose the life of how people move and came up.

[@nissan_skyline]

I love how he was so determined to make it in his early days doing internships or putting on shows for artists, falling on his ass and getting back up during the process. He didn't rely on his parents despite how wealthy they are. Not a lot of rich kids/young adults have that kind of work ethic or would be willing to beg for jobs or to grab someone else's coffee, knowing that they can just fall back on their parents financially.

[@ashleysapp1333]

Haters must be hating because they are jealous of him. FACTS: He believed in Chance and stayed with him through the blood, sweat, and tears, throughout the learning curve, and comes across as very down to earth. He did not take credit for things that were not his, and gave tons of credit to the artists he mentions. CONCLUSION: All I have is respect for this guy, regardless of what he looks like.

[@dividedsoulsent]

Yeah this comment didn’t age too well.

[@jeremydiesel7805]

How Chance went from Underground to a mainstream star in just 3 years is nothing short of inspiring. Not everyone has that kind of management behind them that's unfortunate but I'm glad Chance made it because he has all the star power and the humbleness of an average hardworking everyday person he deserves to be where he is nobody can tell me any different.

[@FlyingDogz07]

Who's here after Chance apparently betrayed him. So now he's suing for 3 million dollars

[@Back2Lifenikotjr]

Dope story Pat!! Glad to see how everything worked out just from following a gut feeling man!! This is dope. Great job capturing these moments Complex!!

[@julianthegray]

I am glad this series is starting to get the attention the show deserves! Blueprint is a insightful, authentic, high caliber series that gets out shined by a lot of garbage on the internet unfortunately and is finally making the way to the top.

[@jimmyparr3]

Pat seems very genuine. There are so many people out there who are more concerned about what you can do for them and how they can make money off of you. This is the type of manager every musician wishes they could have. I hope one day I'll have the honor of meeting Pat. I would love for him to manage my music career.

[@MFxDomxMadvillain]

This was very motivational, I was just ask by my nephew that makes pretty dope music to be his manager. Be on the lookout for Mac Infinity, we coming

[@conceptentint7642]

I so appreciate this refreshingly candid journey detailing Chance the Rapper's career development however, the music, the personality, and the execution can't be overstated. Artists should first be comparably exceptional before expecting similar results with this method. Can't wait to hear who's next....

[@jeanromain2893]

Crazy I been rockin wit chance since 2013-2014 and there's much stuff that I didn't know . This is y he's my favorite rapper ✨💯

[@FinancialFlexWithLexPodcast]

This was such an inspirational Blueprint. Chance has some pretty solid people on his team and you can really tell that Pat is just a genuine person. As someone who is currently trying to break in the entertainment industry as a writer, this just gave me SO much motivation and much-needed gems. Work hard even when the going gets tough and BE HUMBLE.

Best Blueprint so far! Noah still had that stoic wtf face on lol

[@ivangotyokes]

This is a great interview. Only problem I have is saying he grew up blue collar when his dad was a CEO in a futures company...more like upper class. It's 100% a lot easier knowing your dad can spot you 1500 for a failed concert.

[@joshuacook4688]

IvanGotYokes very true, but you can’t take away from buddy’s grind.

[@XiaoLongGungFu]

bro, parents spend tens of thousands of dollars on their kids for college. 1500 doesnt make you sh!t. He had a father who installed good values in him, that's far more valuable and that's what you need. His parents didn't support him - they were against it, if you listened to the interview.
