Everything's going to end eventually. I don't know if we're rushing it or making it faster.

I live in a pretty liberal place, so it's a lot of hidden racism and things like that. If you really look up California, it's a really shitty place when it comes to things like that.

If you try to make music and try to convey to everyone that everything is all peachy-keen, you might come off like you're full of it, and that could be something that draws listeners away.
Vince Staples

I've had a lot of people online say they're going to kill me at my shows. A lot of people say they're going to punch me in the face - never happened. It's just people being sad because their life sucks.
Vince Staples
Image
I hate when I lose my voice and then people try and talk to me and I seem like I'm being rude and then I hurt their feelings. That sucks.

If your children don't fight, they won't love each other when they get older! It's a common thing.

All the rhinos are dead, for the most part. I think that's really sad.
Vince Staples
Image
I don't think you should criticize people's music because maybe it just isn't for you.
Vince Staples
Image
That's something that I've always gotten: a sense of humanity, a sense of awareness of yourself and the world around you.

People just tell me I'm supposed to be sensitive, and I'm not. But I think I'm very emotional. I'm very caring.
