One of the more consistent catalogs in Hip-Hop.
F*** with him heavy
That was a really stupid a***ogy and only a stupid person would think it makes sense
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.
The last Vince Staples album/s I listened to was the one with are you with that and it was another one either right before or after that and both were great to me I remember really liking the one with are you with that
That has nothing to do with it for me
Reducing music to a job is everything wrong with the culture. Lmaoo this deserves to alter his rap career go podcast or stream and fizzle out with that contrarian gimmick in 8 months ol non passionate about rapping ahh ngga lol

i don’t think there’s ever been a point in this man’s career that he hasn’t been on “i did this to get out the streets and to live a better life” so why we’re mad now is very funny

Facts. He’s been very consistent with this stance since he became known. This is nothing new

Heres mine :)

But he’s been saying this verbatim for decades. Vince is a prime example of how niggas love to tune out all the s*** they dont wanna hear for the s*** they do want cause in that popular “for black people in general cuh we sell trauma” interview he ALSO said he never planned or wanted to be anything special. All he wanted was to get his mom an apartment and go on about his day especially after having to live so poor they had to live off fast food for weeks to the point his health was f***ed up.
He’s said he barely has any rap friends, he’s said he don’t be inviting strangers into his house, and all his friends irl have corroborated or confirmed that has always just been Vince.
Niggas are really mad at Vince because he’s just outright saying WHAT A LOT OF RAPPERS ARE FEELING AND DONT WANNA SAY
Saying his career should be altered for saying his music is a job but not the famous rappers that have literally turned their likeness into global brands and/or pivoted from rapping into a streamer is bonkers bruh lol.

Let this have been Kodak or Boosie or someone not "hipster likeable" saying they make aggressive Childish Gambino type music just for the money
We didn't spare LaRussell when this was the case with him #TooBadNigga
We didnt spare LaRussell cause he said Hitler was heaven sent and he stayed 10 toes down on that awful song now you just being disingenious
Marketing gimmick for a radio show
Next!

!https://m.youtube.com/8fEWUmejv7Y?is=qsTMg6kuLXzy8NUhYep Vince been on this tip for a long time. I liked Cry Baby but its messaging felt pretty surface level to what Vince could be offering up.
But thats just the "job"
People should know by now Vince ain’t budging, his logic is valid too
