The demo of long deceased Flint, Michigan rapper Chat Chat is a cassette that has been long forgotten. Chat Chat is a product of 90s Flint rap. Not too many people remember this rapper which is a tragedy because he left behind what could have been a career in music.
Chat Chat’s demo was recorded and engineered by Steve Pitts at Black Jack Studios in Flint, Michigan in 1994. Steve Pitts produced the entire demo himself. The songs included on this demo cassette are Somethin to Think About, Cry In Hell, Crazy Thought, and Lookin For A Gank.
Chat Chat’s demo came out around the time KingHood Cykoz released their first album which was in 1994. Chat Chat was influenced by the sounds of gangsta rap, electronic music, and horrorcore. Not only that, Chat Chat was influenced by the sounds of The Dayton Family, KingHood Cykoz, 211, Esham, Natas, Evol, and Variety of Sinz.
Crazy Thought is a song which delves into the crazy mind of Chat Chat. The song has a dark eerie horrorcore vibe. Vinyl scratches used on this song blend in with the horrorcore element very well.
Time after time, Chat Chat feels crazy. He can’t get himself together. It’s gotten to the point where he is about to lose his mind. He needs to chill as he always has these crazy thoughts. By living in this hellhole, he knows he’s lost. Chat Chat feels as if he has no place to go. He doesn’t give a fuck about anyone. Chat Chat feels like grabbing his gun to kill someone. Like a crazy motherfucking G.
At the 0:51 timestamp is where he talks about killing his family. Here is how he killed his family: He shot his mother in the temple. He left her dead on the bathroom floor. His brother was an eyewitness to this killing. Chat Chat attacked his brother using a butcher knife. He stuck his little nephew in the freezer.
Homicidal business is what he is always thinking about. He smothered a little girl by kidnapping her. Nobody had a clue what happened to her. 2 weeks later, Chat Chat is attending her funeral. The song gets crazy at this point. He kills her father by putting a bullet hole in his head. Now he’s 6 feet under.
The ending of Crazy Thought is where the tape sounds like it's getting eaten up. Chat Chat's voice comes on the speakers saying, "Turn the tape off devil worshipping muthafuckaz!”
Death Wish is a death themed rap song performed by Chat Chat. Death Wish was produced by Steve Pitts. He gets very dark on this song.
Chat Chat gives the public and us listeners something to think about on the song Somethin to Think About. The mood gets very dark quick as Chat Chat himself gets very deep on this song. He shares his thoughts on how life really is for him.
Chat Chat talks about how hard it to get a job when you’re from the ghetto. The trouble starts when a person from the ghetto submits an application only to have the employers throw it in the garbage. Unemployment is the reason why Chat Chat joined a gang (on the set). He feels that he is unemployable due to being from the ghetto.
Death knows no color as death happens to everyone. Death has no boundaries.
Despite the negative vibe you get from listening to this song, Chat Chat has a message. His message is “Change with the times so you won’t be let behind.” That way you can adapt to change as time progresses forward.
For those of you wondering what happened to Chat Chat, an explanation is provided below. It was a tragedy to what happened to Chat Chat. Here is what happened to Chat Chat:

His death was a shock. Chat Chat had left his child behind at the time of his death. His death was a tragedy that was not observed by Flint as a whole. His death remained overlooked and unnoticed.

I rate this demo, 4/5****!
