Him having two black parents isn't enough for me to not consider him a culture vulture #HandTestReady lmaooo

He started making fast food with that Kenny album

People mad as F*** over this lmfao

I don’t think viewing your music career as a job is the same someone who exploits the culture

He never said he didn’t live the s*** that he raps about, or that he adopted a persona.
He just seems to view his occupation as a rapper, as his job

He probably saw rapping as a good way to get out of the hood and away from gangbanging , and he happened to be good at it . But doesn’t mean he doesn’t respect the art imo

Out

How dare niggas be tired of rap music being reduced to capitalistic gain

Ahh shullup vince

Always saying some s***

fr feels overblown lol

It’s because in his prime he still made music that was captivating and spoke to not just the people in his city but to the black audience at large. He has consistently said (for years) that music is a job.

The only difference between him saying it then and now is back then, you could say damn he’s f***ing good at his job(summertime, bft, s/t, ramona park broke my heart, etc.) versus now it sounds like bruh been phoning it in (some of Dark Times and all of Cry Baby) so now when the musical stock of someone is falling, more attention is paid to the aspects of vince that some people were able to ignore cause the music was that fire.

Also you intentionally not following what the definition of culture vulture is just to foster up this discussion. Not even just race, how this nigga Vince carries himself is not culture-vulture like.

One of the more consistent catalogs in Hip-Hop.

F*** with him heavy

This is fair.

But you’d have to take it back to the original capitalists of hip hop it goes way backer than vince lol. Plus, I’m sure there are rappers you listen to now that view this as a come up ESPECIALLY nowadays.

A lot of musicians in every genre just view their talent as a job

Bro its his music and career hes free to view it any way he wants plus his "a burger cost more than a song" comment touches exactly on what you're talking about

actual recent vince quote worth discussing

you can be proud of your work anywhere

back in the day mcdonalds used to employ people who respected their craft and took the grill seriously. they weren't comfortable putting out garbage

these days the people they have working are so entitled with that anti capitalist mindset that they just do bullshit in the kitchen

when you find a fast food spot with people working who still care you gotta hold that close. it's rare these days but it exists

Why he always sound so bitter?

@raps2 ignoring some HUGE parts of Vince argument

Vince also repeatedly said during #thebeef that the real beef is how little artists was making and the entire internet told him to stfu.

really an awful thing for an artist or creative of any kind to say

Hes been saying that stuff for years now im pretty sure i remember him like almost a decade ago talking about how he tours so much despite not particularly enjoying it because that's the only way to make decent money doing what he does

Talking about fast food like a soul mate lmao

outrage makes money and gets engagement

Saying this about vince staples lmao

Damn I ain't know Vince was a CRACKA ASS CRACKA ™️

Lmaoo I'm only just now understanding your username in this context

whats your favourite piece of trash?
how tf u expect him to answer? hes always kept it real
