More quotes by Vince Staples
We should focus on the things that are bad that we can immediately control, because people are always going to be people.
Vince Staples
I don't think I've ever been personally fulfilled performing. It's kind of a challenging thing it's more of a sacrifice for the people that I love.
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.
Vince Staples
Hip-hop culture is deeply rooted in the wrong things. Hip-hop is about drugs right now. It's more so about drugs - about selling drugs, about using drugs - it's bad for kids.

I live to die better that than to live a lie.

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.

Sprite really does taste different everywhere! That's like a fact. Because of certain regulations, you can only put so many sugars.
Vince Staples
It really hurts my feelings when people are mean to old people, or when people yell at their little kids. Just ask them what's wrong, bro. I think we all just need to be nicer.
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'm a beat hoarder. I'll record five songs in a year and I still hoard beats.
Vince Staples
All the rhinos are dead, for the most part. I think that's really sad.
Vince Staples
I was never like, Oh man, I want a Grammy and I'll do whatever it takes. Someone like that might not do what it takes to have a decent touring career, because they're in the studio trying to master whatever they're doing to win a Grammy.
Vince Staples
If you hit a kangaroo in the street and you have to pull out on the side of the road, it can get back up and murder you.
Vince Staples
Rappers kinda look stupid sometimes. Most of the time. I'm pretty sure I look stupid too a lot.
Vince Staples
We give people way too much credit. People just get crazy.
Vince Staples
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.
Vince Staples
I feel like that's the reason a lot of pop music doesn't have that grasp that other forms of music do, because it's more rooted in only the happier aspects of life - there's not really a connection.
Vince Staples
I think the opinion is worth less now than it ever has been.
Vince Staples
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.
