Edited May 24, 20242 yr by Prodigal Self

well yes!

Out now x

AOTY. No rapper is ******* with Vince pen right now except Kendrick. The storytelling is outta here. Album is so cinematic. I love him.

 

**** even saying rapper, he's among the best lyricists in music right now period. He's one of the best album makers, he doesn't miss. I can't. 

 

I'm not someone that typically has to 'sit' with albums so my ranking after a few listens:

1. Ramona Park Broke My Heart
2. Dark Times
3. Big Fish Theory
4. Vince Staples
5. Summertime 06

Yeah I wholeheartedly agree. Vince is an amazing lyricist.

He's obviously not an artist you keep tabs on his numbers for, but it's doing decent. Waiting for his store to go back up so I can buy the CD.

He's my favorite rapper of the blog era, with all due respect to Kendrick.

Oh yeah Kendrick is definitely him but really every time I look at what Vince has given to us I'm like that's my fave. Every style and sound that he's done and fully committed to, his taste and talent level, the way he's grown as a person in his music, and I think there's nobody more human and honest than him in his work. Like he's definitely the realest. It makes me wanna root for him! He truly doesn't miss.

No why did you say what I was thinking  I want nothing but the best for him after listening to his music through the years. I buy all his albums, see his shows whenever he comes here and even got a god-awful Netflix subscription to watch his show. He's just King. Anybody writing something like When Sparks Fly or Etouffee is elite.

You're a better fan than me because I saw the news about his show and was like oh how nice kewjhweh but I don't watch a lot of TV shows anyways so

 

He's really endearing as a person I think, like how everyone was just saying how he's one of the funniest people ever but he's never joking he's just real.

 

When he came to my college to perform in like 2018 2019? none of my friends knew him or wanted to go and I was like you guys will regret this after you listen to Big Fish Theory! And then my bestie started listening to him and said I was right and loved him too she thought he was/is cute af LMFAO. 

We then went to see him in Toronto and made the mistake of going to the front where we had to brave a mosh pit by what looked like a ******* crowd of Toronto high school boys  Maybe that was partly due to it being Big Fish Theory era tho, I need to get over that and see him again next time he's in NYC

Your bestie has good taste, he's fine BFT era was so crazy, I ran that album into the ground and S06 before it. He's gotten even better as a performer since then so you in for a treat next time you see him. He said he'll announce US tour dates soon  He just said on IG earlier he prefers storytelling because he prefers talking about his life. He's just a different rapper that recalls people like DMX who really put their wounds on display for the world to see. He deserves everything, and I never have to worry about him dropping straight ass cause like you said his taste level is elite. When the music and personality match >>
