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.
Vince Staples
I'm just saying what I think about at the time. I don't make a point to do anything, really.
Vince Staples
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.
Vince Staples
When I was a kid I used to want to be a Beethoven or something. That was my dream.
Vince Staples
Radio is better than writing because they can't lie. Cause sometimes writers be straight lying, bro, and these headlines be making me mad.
Vince Staples
I would for sure do a thousand dollar meet and greet because literally every single person knows where I live.
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.
