1. I think what Vince did is not a morally bad thing

2. Nnaaahhh I love Vince staples …. He’s real

3. Now that he's off the label I pray for his continued success. Cry Baby for me personally is AOTY so I'm hoping he gets to keep making what he truly wants to make.

4. I fuqs with Vince Staples heavy 🪨. He is so in his own lane. He embarrasses the hypocrisy of the lifestyle and puts the black community on front Street.

5. I wrote this dude off a long time ago because I thought all the gangster rap he was doing was corny. Turns out we were in agreement lol

6. Idc what nobody say he is def a 🔥🔥🔥 ssa artist! Esp in todays day &age rappers like this are few n far between… love the way this man thinks n to see the incredible growth… n he fine af too lol🤷🏾‍♀️☺️

7. Big fish so peak. Summertime is mostly misses

8. Why as an artist wouldn't u want your music too live forever even after u die

9. Vince staples is one of the best rappers to ever do it. They'll never take that from him

10. I didn't know of Vince until Black Panther, I only started listening since The show. I'm happy I didn't go into it with biases and preconceptions. I'm a fan

11. It is usually realized too late in life that nobody fucks up one's own potential quite as thoroughly as oneself.

12. He dropped his best album after this video. Dark times is peak

13. Vince a god in the music world.. you a square if you dont understand the movement.

14. big fish theory might be one of the best rap albums ever made, i dont care what anyone says

15. CAN'T be OVERSTATED, SHOULDN'T be UNDERSTATED

16. Mfs crazy, every album from this man as only gotten better. if you take albums as a journey through life then nobody should be in the same place. either they are make worse decisions like Drake or they are reflecting on their lifes to better themselves and the message like Vince. Will always appreciate this man for his jems he drops.

17. Vince top 5 West Coast Authentic Artist

18. Vince is still making music though. This didn't age well

20. Let weak fighters like them die slowly. Because they know the facts but give up on facing reality. How pathetic. “Pathetic artists who have been defeated from the start.” 😷

21. 16:57 Dope story dude!

22. I can definitely respect an artist who stays true to themselves despite it negatively impacting their career, and bank account.

23. Nah lowkey mfs are bugging. Dark times was amazing and really different than what he has released, Ramona park was really good, FM was decent(could’ve been longer imo) and Vince staples was a bop. I’ve liked all of his projects after BFT. You can tell he’s grown a lot, and became a man that sees the world in a whole different perspective.

24. 0:13 🙄🤦🏽‍♂️ Vince staples is being a racist and a hypocrite hecsaid he ain't gonna be rapping for a white man but yet he forgot the record label he's signed to is literally owned by a white man. But given the fact that he's from commieville california that explains why he's stupid because all commie californians are brainless idiots.

25. vince isn’t a rapper, he is someone who’s vision and personhood is endlessly interesting and he is genuinely one of the only rappers i can think of that isn’t lying (either to themselves or the listener)

26. I forgot about homie

27. Pretty sure he’s not a member of Odd Future

28. I'm trying to imagine Vince as a "very good gang member" is hilarious man

29. Amazing video bro. Great work.

30. All his projects r great

31. Crazy so many haters because his self titled album first song are you with that is amazing! The whole album is a banger.

32. he was NEVER an “honorary” member nor actual OF member, quit telling lies. he guest appeared cause they were homies. sit down and re do your perm to fit in.

33. Coming at this almost 2 years after. Dark times was one of the best albums of 2024. And his music still peak.

34. Mac Miller was such a terrible rapper lol. His music was dreadfully horrible and unlistenable. Seemed like a really good dude though.

35. Crazy because from since big fish hes been putting out good music I can some tracks not being favorites but he always put out shit you can just vibe out to

36. Mac Miller had a big help with his come up too much respect to him

37. Char the god is a sellout bish

38. I woke up this morning with Norf Norf stuck in my head. Vince Staples made amazing music. I haven't pulled up his stuff in a minute but listened to Prima Dona. Damn, that was a statement. The music video, the lyrics, the cuts. I think he made the right choice. And so many of his takes are spot on.
    Look at what they did to Juice Wrld, Peep, X and many others. We may have missed out on some amazing art but Vince is as real as it gets.
    I respect his choice and wont forget his music and message. It's good when I can say so much about someone's influence without say "rip" at the end.
    Some legends don't have to pass to make their mark.

39. My thing is how are we defining success because to me it dont look like he sabotaged his career. Rather he grew up and made a pivot that only real people respect. I know a lot of people know him for his music and the people who are stuck in the old music are stuck where the system put them because realistically all his music is phenomenal.
