MBA PlayboyWest coast rappers always think they’re deeper than they actually are lol
How exactly is this deep
If anything it’s the opposite lol he’s being really reductive of his work

Even Vince staples was heaven sent
BrainWorms4UYep 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"
And Vince been saying for the last few years this rap s*** has turned into a cancer frfr
#SmokeWeedFuckBitches
#JustKilledANiggaInTheBackstreetAnd YES there’s a lot of rappers that peddle this specific content that just how they act, you can tell they see rap as a job too. But it’s ok because they just dont say it lmao.

This why nonmusicians shouldn't really be allowed to speak on this tbh cause bruh sounds crazy lol

Where’s the outrage lol?

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
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.
Lmaoo niggas making music for money is a problem until the artsy nigga does it then niggas got his whole life story
Lmaoo if Lil baby or thug or future said "music is just a job" it would end their career even if they also we're poor eating fast food for weeks at a time
Even if it is just a job to them they have enough understanding and respect of the culture to where they know not to carry it that way
I also thought it was lame as f*** when nitrous Kanye said on drink champs he just did the backpacker s*** because it was en vogue at the time
XANTALets be f***in real nobody cares about this yall just want something to get pissy about
It’s Vince the only rapper to consistently have the internet angry at him for non-problematic opinions that dont involve abuse or homophobia.

Lil Baby doesnt carry himself like rap is just a job to him?
Are you serious nigga? 😂😂😂
·1 replyi wouldn't argue with him on twitter over this but if you listen to his music, he very clearly puts a lot of thought and passion into what he's making so his aversion to acknowledging that seems weird to me. i mean, people just want to know your favorite song off the new album, they not asking for you to explain and breakdown every single lyric lmao.
this nonchalant behavior doesn't really prove anything or make him come off cool. we know he cares about his craft. we're not gonna call you Logic or Eminem just because you talk about seriously.

americanaOnce again we are misdefining the word pretentiousn
no we’re not
Saying music is just a job as an artist is not crazy man. you can still have passion and love the labor of work for your job.

This speaks to why Vince has this stance yet makes artsy music lmaoo it makes it harder for niggas to see it for what it is. The "hipster" "artsy" lane Genius lane to go in for someone with those intentions and the "story" he has
Vs. Street rappers get the rep of just being in it for the money but at this point dare we say nigga like Babyface Ray cares more about his music than Vince if this is his take and all the artsy social commentary s*** is just because he feels that's where the long term money is
The way Vince views his favorite rap songs is the way a lot of you view rap or music in general. @Jim_Halpert_ been saying for years streaming has turned music into background music.
Killing Vince for basically agreeing with yall is brazy!

it is his job, I'm not disputing that. you can be passionate about the job you do.
he clearly is. if he wasn't, the music wouldn't sound the way it does.
he compares himself to the line cook at mcdonald's (who, mind you, can have a favorite burger) but why not a chef at michelin star restaurant? he's clearly trying to create some distance from how clearly passionate and serious he takes his craft.
i don't get that though.

But what if that is just him knowing his lane + he hasnt done too much out there artsy s*** since bft. Everything post Bft (which he has said in the past was mainly to get sync placements in movies) has been pretty grounded/west coast sounding to the point this forum publicly told kenny beats he was ruining vince
What defines artsy versus street? And who decides the difference?
And I’m saying they do because of lyrics, the way lotta them were supportive of trump during his election, etc.

What makes the line chef at mcdonalds automatically worth lesser than the michelin chef?

😂😂😂 I'm saying if he came out and said that verbatim it would end his career and he know generally not to openly just treat and address this s*** like "a job"
Their music is definitely capitalistic-led they're just not as smart as Vince to understand the artsy type music for a rapper with a street background is the longer term play
