Quote

Someone who only wants to play sold-out shows will find a tempo that works at the shows and then focus on making that kind of music, but maybe they'll miss out on other things because of it.

So many things come from people's parents lying to them about the truth about things. I feel like, once those ideas die with people, we'll be good in a couple of generations.

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.

Drugs are horrible I say no to drugs. I've never done drugs in my life.
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.

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.

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.

People have an overbearing need to project their inward doubt and hatred and emotions onto the outside world.

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.

I remember, once, my sister used to tell me that they found me in the trash-can when I was younger, so one time I pushed my sister into a trash-can - I put it over her head and pushed her down the street. And then after that, we been close ever since.

That's something that I've always gotten: a sense of humanity, a sense of awareness of yourself and the world around you.
Vince Staples
Image
I don't care at all. I don't know the difference from one president to the next.
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.

Image
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.

When kids can't come to my show, I feel bad, because grown-up 21 and up people really probably don't need my help as much as an 11-year-old child.

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.

There's a price tag on everything including black people's lives and what they do with them.

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.

When I was a kid if you didn't have Lil in front of your name, you were trash.
