NPR's Vince Staples interview ("deep" or smart-dumb?")

[valet]

I'm neutral on his music. But what are your thoughts on his way of life? With some of his problems with "hip hop", I don't get why he's just ignoring what K.Dot and Cole is doing? And exalting Kanye? Could some of his fans enlighten me?

whats he saying about j cole?

tbh this song is pretty much in the same lane as vince and ken



fuk knows what vince is talking about, seems abit weird these days imo

his gimmic will get old, yeah thats right i said it, vince got this lil gimmic going on, will fade out when his next project comes out

I love the way Vince flows on his brilliantly produced tracks. I like him as a rapper. I don't know too much about him as a person, though.

he's too young to take seriously. he's smart-dumb

He didn't say anything about Cole. But his complaints about hip hop seems to ignore what him and K.DOt are doing. I don't get it but again, maybe it's b/c I'm not familar with him.

10x more insightful and real than c00ndrick.

Dude sounds like a contrarian teenager who takes ridiculous positions and "doesn't care" about [insert issue]. I fux with the music but it almost sounded like he was trying to be difficult, despite the hosts giving him every opportunity to open up.

Grew up too fast, the can't-tell-me-nothing kind. He's got personality, charisma and wisdom; but you get the feeling he's still got some maturing to do. He'll be fine.

Probably because he's seen a lot of shyt to not be pretentious about issues.

those hosts are annoying af, too and needed a dose of realness.

Ali Shaheed Muhammad needs a dose of realness?
