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

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 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.

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

Image
Drugs are horrible I say no to drugs. I've never done drugs in my life.
Vince Staples
Image
I don't think you should criticize people's music because maybe it just isn't for you.
Vince Staples
Image
I don't really have a focus, I just make music.
Vince Staples
Image
School doesn't teach you much. School teaches you how to follow directions, that's what school is for.
Vince Staples
Image
I just make what I'm making, and then one day I won't want to make it anymore. I think that's a luxury we should be able to have as people, especially as artists.
Vince Staples
Image
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.
