"Your latest LP, Vince Staples, is partly a collaborative effort with Kenny Beats, a good friend of yours."
Were you listening to anything to inspire you while you were working on the LP?
I don’t really listen to music much, period. I never really did, even growing up. I feel like the process itself is inspiring. Of course, you have music that plays a part in pivotal moments in your life. You can always go back and reference those.
In addition to the Vince Staples LP, you have a full album coming out, Ramona Park Broke My Heart. What’s the meaning behind the title?
It just sounds nice. I don’t think it makes sense to be too heavy-handed with certain things. Music is so subjective. So with that, it was just part of my thought process at the time: What symbolism can I throw in here that can be taken as a direct thing? What does this mean? What does this sound like? It’s all based on personal tastes.
You seem like very much a realist. Do you believe in manifestation, voicing hopes and dreams aloud to make them come to fruition in real life?
I think that there’s too many variables to ever know. I’ve heard it works from several people that I consider to be very truthful people, but I just take life as it comes, day by day. I feel like that’s part of being an artist: You have to be aware of the world around you. I don’t get too stubborn in my approach to what I want to happen; I just deal with what comes.
Ugh Kenny Beats on the new album
He just makes soulless, formulaic beats that bang.
Really makes me anticipate the other album more than this one
