CHANCE: [continues laughing]

BURESS: Yeah, man. I don’t watch those movies out of spite, honestly. I never saw those movies. Never saw Red Dragon, Hannibal, and I won’t watch Hannibal the TV show.

CHANCE: Alright. So no to Silence of the Lambs.

BURESS: Are you at liberty to announce when the album’s coming out? Or is it going to be a surprise, Beyoncé-style thing?

CHANCE: The album is very much so a Beyoncé kind of thing. So I can’t say the date of the project, but I can say that it’s super dope. Can you say that? Have I played you any shit?

BURESS: Nah.

CHANCE: My bad, dude. Most of the time when I see you, I feel like we’re at an event nowadays. It’s not really low-key Hannibal-Chance hangouts anymore. Like last year at Beat Kitchen. That show was funnn! Do you remember your first show at Beat Kitchen?

BURESS: I don’t remember my first one, but I’ve been doing shows there since… they run a showcase, Chicago Underground Comedy, on Tuesdays. I was definitely doing that in, ’06, I want to say? ’07? Something like that. It’s a fun spot. So when I’m in the Chi, and I want to do a couple of those last minute shows I announce on Twitter, Beat Kitchen is one of them. Tonic Room is another spot.

CHANCE: For me it’s the same thing. I go to Tonic Room, Reggie’s Rock Club, Metro… there’s a bunch of Chicago spots I do shows at. Is there anybody you’d like to air out for maybe being a dick one night, early on at one of those venues? You don’t have to say their name.

BURESS: I do remember one dude at the Funky Buddha Lounge. They had an open mic on Sundays I was trying to perform at. They were charging a five dollar, 10 dollar cover, and I saw a coupon for free entry in New City or one of the Chicago papers. So I take this coupon, and I get there, and this dude there working the door said, “Nah, man.” I said I wanted to perform and I had this coupon. This guy was being a real dick about it, trying to fight me and shit. And, he had on flip-flops and dreadlocks. [Chance laughs] I met him years later under different circumstances, when he did stand up comedy for a bit. He’s a decent guy. I think maybe the stress of being a doorman was getting to him.

CHANCE: You’re becoming super famous these days in the DJ circuit. Would you care to tell us some of the ad libs that you say over the music as it plays?
