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.

More quotes by Vince Staples
The ones that actually affect people who don't have enough money to change them - which is almost everybody. But that has nothing to do with the president.
Vince Staples
Creating music and just having someone's art directs the way you think about life subconsciously.
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
I'm a beat hoarder. I'll record five songs in a year and I still hoard beats.
Vince Staples
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.
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
Hopefully New Zealand let me stay, and they don't kick me out and ban me. And I hope I don't get killed by a kangaroo, 'cuz I heard that happens out there.
Vince Staples
If your children don't fight, they won't love each other when they get older! It's a common thing.
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
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
I wake up sometimes with an idea and then I write it down. It's not necessarily easy, but when you focus on something it comes.
Vince Staples
I saw The Revenant, and they were calling Native Americans tree niggers, and that is not cool.
Vince Staples
I live to die better that than to live a lie.
Vince Staples
As a living, breathing person, you must love things that derive from nature.
Vince Staples
I'm getting old! My back hurts, I got asthma, I just been listening to Amy Winehouse, trying not to cry. Life's crazy.
Vince Staples
My brothers used to beat me up, but I used to fight my sisters 'cuz I couldn't hit them back, so I had to find specific severe ways to punish them.
Vince Staples
I don't care at all. I don't know the difference from one president to the next.
Vince Staples
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.
Vince Staples
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.
Vince Staples
If you're a voice for a community, then you're a voice for something more than yourself. I want to have an impact, because I don't want anybody to have to go through what I went through.
