More quotes by Vince Staples
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. So I think it will just take time. Old people have to die. Once the generation right under my Mom dies, we'll be fine.

Everyone serves a purpose.

I've heard a lot of crack stories. I heard a RZA crack story, up close and personal, over a platter of 100 chicken wings that only him and his friend ate. It was a good day.

School doesn't teach you much. School teaches you how to follow directions, that's what school is for.

If you're a voice for a community, then you're a voice for something more than yourself. I want to have an impact, because I don't want anybody to have to go through what I went through.
Vince Staples
The work is the understanding of the people that you're speaking for. The further you get away from that, the further you are from the work.
Vince Staples
Just be comfortable. Sometimes, when open up for a bigger artist at a conventional concert, you can feel unwelcome. But when you're playing a festival, people come to see music in general - so don't be fearful. The people are there to enjoy and discover new music so approach the show with confidence and optimism.
Vince Staples
I think I'm pretty regular. I try to keep it pretty regular I go to sleep early. I don't know what distances me from other rap artists - I haven't met a lot of 'em.
Vince Staples
Rappers kinda look stupid sometimes. Most of the time. I'm pretty sure I look stupid too a lot.
Vince Staples
I don't have a message. You already have all these people telling you how to live, who to be, what to wear, what to drive, what drugs to do - I just want people to see what I see.
Vince Staples
I'm not really scared of a lot of things. I'm scared of possums. And I'm scared of raccoons sometimes, it depends on how big it is - I'm scared of the smaller raccoons because the bigger ones are slower.
Vince Staples
Drugs are horrible I say no to drugs. I've never done drugs in my life.

Every song with lyrics is lyrical.
