No Slipping.
We saddle out West and get better acquainted with Long Beach’s own Vince Staples for his spot on XXL‘s Freshman Class. Freestyle above and profile below. His debut Summertime ’06 drops June 30.
Now it’s just about making the music that’s going to change the world. That’s all that matters. Nobody cares about how many records you done sold. Nobody cares about how cool you was, nobody cares about how much money you made. When you dead and gone, the one thing they’re going to say is, what did your music change? So I’m trying to change something no matter what it is, ’cause that change will go down in history. Nothing else do.
Top 5 best rapper in the. I want Yeezy on a track w Staples.

“I apologize if I might be the reason your son never made it back home, he should’ve gave up that phone.” – Staples
This is what it’s come to? A blatant disregard for life, so we glorify violence in music. What kind of a message does this send to the up and coming generation? Listen, I like Vince, but most of the rappers we’ve had throughout the years (Nas, Jay-Z, Biggie, Big L, Kool G, Etc) mentioned their history when dealing with crime, because it was a means of survival. Young men of this generation have no excuse. I grew up in The Bronx during a time when drug dealing was an option for most because many jobs wouldn’t hire someone with a criminal record or lack of education. All I hear now, are a bunch of losers trying to jump onto street crime like it’s the only way out for a black man in 2015. This is not absolutely true. These new guys are just out for fans who enjoy false tales of gangster life, and hate listening to solutions for the hood. This is why most of the general public hates positive rappers like Kendrick or J. Cole, and would rather support the bullshit.
Soooo with all the music around, you feel like Staples is the poster child for unreasonable violence. Are you familiar with his story or music… Family of crips and he pretty regularly voices that while he has pointless violent tendencies, they are just that pointless… So I wonder what exactly your basing this off of?
To quote Hov “Do you fools listen to music or do you just skim through it?”
I am very familiar with his music. As a matter of fact, I was one of the very first to point out his talent on many of the efforts he’s made, including the ones with Earl sweatshirt, and his various mix tapes, one of which was produced by Mac Miller under the handle, Larry Fisherman. Now you used the word “unreasonable” as if violence is reasonable to begin with – yet again, senseless verbiage from a daily rap radar commentator. My issue is with that line, and many of his other contradictory bars sprawled out in his work. I’m just sick of hearing violence in battle rap, violence in hip hop, period – where did the creativity go? Complain about social issues yet we’re not seeing any of these rappers display solutions to his and many other people’s circumstances. I don’t blame Vince Staples solely, but he is carrying on with this tradition.
