    Obviously it's not worth talking Vince seriously, even when he's being serious

    Although the resultant discussion ain't too bad tbf
    He's mentioned seeing this primarily as a way to make money for years
    Could argue that's why sometimes his music feels a bit rigid at times at points through his large discography
    Maybe he approaches his music like a person trying to do his job in music very very well, rather than as a 'passionate musician'

    Who knows though

    I think he’s passionate. Based on his other posts, I think he’s saying “all my songs have the same level of energy put into them so ranking my songs would be damn near impossible to even find a favorite. Like a fast food worker who makes a McChicken, why would they have a favorite McChicken if the goal is to have them all be the best for the customer?”

  • How does he know the burger flipper doesn't have a favorite? I doubt he's ever asked one.

    i think people wouldn't care this much if vince was a diff type of rapper

    I can see what 'you're' saying although that's a slippery slope right there
    So imma stay out of that


    With Vince it's pretty clear his public facing persona is a kind of no bs/smug/dead pan jokey guy so folks shouldn't really be expecting too much from him if they've actually engaged with him over the years

    Sometimes folks put values on artists because they want them to be the version they had in mind e.g. folks expecting Tyler/Frank to be socialists instead of jewelry selling/million dollar car buying/ 'save your money & fly to the Hamptons nigga, I wanted a bape shirt when I was 14 & i made it happen so you can do that just as easy' niggas

  • It’s so funny that people are riled up, but I really do think a lot of folks have just simply had it with nonchalant contrarian ass niggatry lmao

    He doesn’t have to have a fav song, nobody is saying that lol

    If he simply said “I don’t have a favorite song” nobody would have cared, we don’t have to be in here acting dense. That is not the reason why people are irked with him

  • U can have it be ur job and also love ur job bra like i can love being a teacher

    Vince just comes off bitter he didn’t see the success he wanted, if it’s a schtick or whatever it’s lame af to me.

    West coast rappers always think they’re deeper than they actually are lol

    generalizing an entire coast of artists you dont listen to because your favorite rapper engaged in a battle with one two years ago

    you niggas disgust me

  • This thread is so dumb the nigga was obviously just saying he doesn't have a favorite song and being humble/big upping the fast food workers at the same time in a Vince tongue in cheek way. Why is this a thing and why are people this mad?

    Like nigga get back to your shift
