Pastor’s Coloring Book - As far as inspiration goes, Chance the Rapper seems to just live by it. For starters, this is an artist that as of this moment isn’t signed by a major label and yet is treated as if he were. Coloring Book, a mixtape, was one of the most anticipated collection of songs of the past year and it’s an extension of the rapper himself. It's no wonder Chance took home the BET Hip-Hop Award for Best Mixtape, as well as Chance winning Best New Hip-Hop Artist. Coloring Book is full of inspirational lines from Chance and the company he keeps. So let them wash over you. — BET Staff(Photo: Andrew Chin/Getty Images)
