The third track on Taylor Bennett’s latest album, Restoration of an American Idol, is “Grown Up Fairy Tales." It’s produced by Mike WiLL Made-It and was originally intended for his brother Chance The Rapper’s breakout mixtape, Acid Rap, which dropped in 2013. His sibling didn’t end up using the track and Taylor couldn’t get it out of his head so he recruited his bro along with Jeremih for the breakout single. On it, he raps from the perspective of someone close to his heart.

This guy is a brilliant lyricist, and he's very musically talented.

@alexrobinson5942 7 лет назад

This dude is so slept on… he's so good honestly, and even though he sounds like Chance (since you know they're brothers), they're in completely different leagues. Not that one is better than the other, they're both immensely talented. Keep up the good work. I like this style!

@dianasomra75 6 лет назад

Alex Robinson I honestly didn't know they was brothers, thanks for the clarification 😅

@SILENTthrowKNIFE 7 лет назад

This is why these videos don't work with lil yachty or those rappers cuz their lyrics doesn't have a message it's just random words. But here it actually has a deep message and the lyrics actually make sense, it's the perspective of how Taylor's grandad went trough the passing of his wife.

@tomvanderveer1535 7 лет назад

ChampagnepapiJr yachty has had some really good lyrics before but I agree with you on lil uzi, Kodak, etc.

@DarthOpinion 6 лет назад

I agree, taylor has one song featuring lil yachty that stuf alright tho

@stillupsetaboutrobbstark3455 7 лет назад

YESSSSS. Been waiting for him to get more notoriety for some time. If you're reading and don't know where to start I recommend 'Dancing in the Rain,' 'Fall Back Fools,' 'Favorite Colors,' 'Nobody tell a Name,' and 'Broad Shoulders.' Those are some of my favorites but he has others that are more well-known.

@Frostedhuh 7 лет назад

Favorite Colors is one of my favorite songs... only 2 minutes long tho...

littler chano from 79th

@untrainedhelp4719 7 лет назад

Quagthot little tayno from 79th Not to be too... idk the word for it but I'm just tryna explain where Chance the rapper comes from Chance the rappers name comes from his real name which is Chancellor Bennett; shortened it become Chance... there, chance the rapper was born and from Chance came Chano... so in the logic= Little Taylo or Tayo from 79th

@cjordanhoward9060 7 лет назад

Untrained help issa joke

@cjordanhoward9060 7 лет назад

Sam Morigan lol i changed that yesterday to troll people

@ziggyc9636 6 лет назад

Untrained help chance literally says it in songs and interviews and Twitter. Anyone who pays attention knows, so yes you are being too... Whatever the word

@TheIsh3000 7 лет назад

Taylor Bennett is too slept on

@awisepirate4919 6 лет назад

The lyrics at 3:56 and the explanation with it is the best part for me. The way he talks about his Grandad looking at his Grandma as she recalls her life in front of her eyes is heartbreakingly beautiful.

@humanic.visuals 7 лет назад

The last verses are so sad :(

@megacaviagek 5 лет назад

I can not stop crying to them for some reason

@GummyYT 2 года назад

“Now I just call your phone for voicemail recordings, a preview of my previous favorite woman” is an incredible lyric

@cinemapure.e 7 лет назад

This is just a copy paste from the "Panda" song page where someone said the same thing about Future and Desiigner

@makevili1996 7 лет назад

he might sound a bit like chance. but lyrically very different. the dude is much more lyrical regarding rhyme schemes, and poetic meaning. much deeper lyrically. a more skillfull rapper.

@mowillz2995 7 лет назад

CCTPL I love Taylor Bennet, but u sleeping on chances lyricism lol by saying Taylor is a much better lyricist, all of chances bars in acid rap had like double meanings and triple meanings

@makevili1996 7 лет назад

maurice williams true. maybe I resent chano a little bit for not giving us the same calliber of lyricism in coloring book and other singles 😢

@Kimura1313 6 лет назад

CCTPL yea he definitely lost didn’t put the same effort in the bas

@dominiccarlin7947 4 года назад

CCTPL FACTSSS BRO ITS CAUSE HE GOT A GHOST WRITER NOW WHO HAS THE SAME FLOW SCHEME BUT ITS NOT CHANCES THOUGHTS

@wherevinoat 7 лет назад

He doesn't really sound like chance to me. I'm glad Genius brought him in his last 2 projects have been amazing

@solighthead8387 6 лет назад

Shelvin Kumar he do 🙇

@MistaAwesome26 7 лет назад

Chance has basically murdered everyone he's been on a feature with, except Taylor. That speaks a lot for this man's talent and lyrical genius. I cannot wait for him to blow so that people argue which Bennett bro is currently the best rapper in the game. And if they make a group together?! it's a wrap

@thex805xprodigyricardo3 7 лет назад

Gucci Views actually Taylor and Chance have featured on a song together

@MistaAwesome26 7 лет назад

I am saying that taylor is one of the only people who has outshone chance on a feature

@grantsilveri6509 6 лет назад

@alonetmrw 6 месяцев назад

@saucyfbaby 7 лет назад

rip mama charlie . what a beautiful tribute for him to write this verse from his grandpa's perspective , reflecting on his life with his wife . i'm sure she's proud of him & chance . ❤️️

@dipmeingloss 7 лет назад

I love chancellor & Taylor both the same. I just don't want people to get hyped or too caught up in Taylor being "chance's younger bother. Taylor has his own individuality a side from chance. they share the same dna of course, but at the end of the day they still have their own unique qualities/traits.💓💯the only thing parallel to each other is the facial features.😭😵.

@Davide-cs6hy 7 лет назад

It's about time he gets some recognition! Taylor is great and people need to stop sleeping on him!

@jeremydiesel7805 7 лет назад

I really loved his Mixtape my favorite songs are this, Roof Gone, Favorite Colors, New York Nights, Neon Lights and Chi-Town Anthem.
