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.

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.

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.

Whenever you have people in power, they try to control people. It's not necessarily a bad thing to control people - you can control people for good, you can control people for bad, but you're gonna try and control people.

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.

I think there's too much of the wrong type of influences that stem from hip-hop.

We still wading in the water... Cocaine, blunts, marinating in the water. Lean and took a puff, and then she gave it to my father, Used to take the bullets out so I could play with the revolver. Satan serenading ever since I was a toddler, Tell 'em talk is cheap...niggas living for the dollar.

I love Louisiana fried fish, but it's all Martin Luther King, I can't go over there.

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 have any dreams or aspirations or goals I want to meet music-wise, so there's nothing to keep me from being level-headed.

When people ask me my influences and I'm like, nobody they're like, there has to be somebody. People seem to think you have to have an influence.
