Étoufée is one of the best songs this year

Listened to his album twice in a row and along with this interview I get the sense that he has an innate understanding that he's separate from his ego, which is so rare to be expressed

"Why did you make this album?" And his response is he's got 1 more album left in his contract has me dying

“Success” is so often based off metrics…..but Vince is on a 3-album run with zero skips🤯…..who else is doing that?

Vince Staples is really growing up and I love that he cares about what he cares about and doesn't trip over what he doesn't. love that!

these last three albums have been beautiful and people who appreciate introspection are the ones who love them. people saying he should drop stuff like big fish but he’s been exploring his psyche and the sound that fits this specific space and themes hes been in

Unskippable album. I honestly think it might be his best work. Can’t wait to see what he does without being shackled by a label.

THAT HATTTT....is PHUCCIN EVERYTHING!!!!! Only real southern California HEADS KNOW..... Art Laboe was not just the king of the OLDIES FOR MY GENERATION and generations after me....but for my PARENTS GENERATION TOO... I'm talking folks in their 70s and 80s. RIP ART LABOE.... The real dedicated to you OLDIES LEGEND FOREVERRR.. 🕊️🕯️🕯️

“Life hard but I go harder, Life hard but I go harder🎶”

Not the album we deserve, but the album we need 🙏

The whole album is beautiful, the way it flows, the chorus and orchestral sounds. Mac would be so proud of Vince

“I actively run from the ‘thing’, & they tell me I’m just tryna be different “ Bar

As Zane pointed out at the beginning of this interview, Vince quietly does an outstanding job at everything he sets his mind to. He's honest, but he doesn't grandstand about being truthful. He makes great records, but doesn't boast about their performance or quality. He made an incredible TV show, but I haven't seen him showing off just how good it is. He shines in interviews for both his comedic and inspirational talents, but he doesn't overdo it. Just seems like a genuine, humble dude doing his job. I love being a Vince Staples fan!

Vince is one of the best in the game right now. This album was great, he has evolved so much as an artist and I can't wait to see what is next for him.

Look at my guy. Hits netflix and immediately looking like spike lee 😂

Dark times and Self titled are some of the most beautiful music Vince has made ❤

Vince’s spike Lee era I fw it

seems like etouffee is everyone's favorite. where's my black and blue gang at

Vince will always create a moment for himself, and I’ll listen every time.

Loved the new album “Dark times” especially Étouffée and Black&blue 🙌🏽🙌🏽

been rocking with Vince since 2008 and getting to witness his growth has been an absolute blessing to experience. I completely understand where he's coming from when he talks about knowing his place in the ecosystem but every time he says he doesn't see himself as the "music guy", while I appreciate his self awareness and respect that his heart doesn't lie solely within music and that he has other avenues of creativity to venture into (the Netflix show was amazing), I wish he would give himself more credit. this album marks one of the best 3 album runs I've seen in a while (and personally, my favorite). I know the praise and accolades don't do it for him but I'm really so proud of him. I don't want recency bias to get the best of me and it's still so fresh but this is really feeling like his best album. I loved this interview so much. I feel like in some past interviews, there have been times where interviewers didn't know how to work with Vince's nihilistic viewpoints/answers and sort of just leave it on the table but Zane did really well to frame questions in a way that get to the heart of what Vince is saying without shrugging it off as him being disinterested. another great interview for the books. 💙

Vince sound mad tired of explaining himself.

The new album is so refreshing. Can’t wait to peel it back more.

I was so hyped to hear the style Vince was hinting at when he released shame on the devil as a single. After listening to dark times fully, bro really branched out with this project

This album is amazing, his self titled one is my personal favorite it’s a classic to me. He’s been on a crazy run, Étoufée is so fyeee.

Vince and his discography are very under appreciated. He’s been truly unique in his view and how he taps into his influences. He always comes with the quality

Everything Vince does speaks volumes & it’s shown through his music since winter in Prague! He deserves his flowers

I love Vince so much he’s so relatable from a person to a artist

My whole thing with Vince’s intellect is he’s so apathetic with it. He’s funny & he holds back bc again to speak on the truth means everyone loses their jobs, but the loss of Ego on him is heavy. He knows there are much bigger issues at play, he knows who he is and how to dance with the jones, as authentic as he is there’s almost a hidden authenticity at play.

This studio is the most apple studio 😂 Looking like a whole Apple Store without the apple products

20 minutes in and for the first time I have no idea what they talking about in a Vince staples interview I’ve lost it 💀

i can't wait to hit 30 and start looking like Spike Lee

I've seen him in concert like 6 years ago, he's super good.

Vince Staples discography is so good and dark times is beautiful and I feel it🔥🔥🔥🔥💯❤️

i was just binging vince interviews again. perfect timing.

I hope bro okay, I’ve never seen him look so empty before

As always I see a Vince interview and new music I click

He's politely saying, "I am not your savior!" But he knows it's great 😂

VINCE MUSIC NEVER MISSES!!

vince always delivers mane 🤞

Vince is a national treasure. Hilarious, introspective, driven, talented. He’s a force!

Shout out to Vince for keeping it 💯 wherever he go

Love his honesty, real reckonise real. Always been a fan of his Anyone get the sense he really wanted to say something about the music industry that was BAD but he still wants to be here to do more music. And clearing up that video where someone cut out all the positives leaving him looking bad. He gets wiser every album ✌️ Reminds me a lot of Earl a lil bit

Never been a huge Vince staples fan but this already might be my favorite album of the year.

thank you Vince Staples

I love Vince his growth throughout the years has been amazing

Gonna be banging this album for the rest of the year. Amazing body of work. Vince is super talented and deep his lyrics are amazing

that question ab kendrick-drake beef was kinda ignorant/disrespectful im glad vince contextualized it

I haven't listened to Vince in a while but I love this interview and am very curious to catch up on what he has been making, so refreshing to hear him talk

Bro, this new album "dark times" is my favourite vince staples project fo sho.

IF YOU'RE ABLE TO SEPARATE THE EGO FROM YOURSELF.... THAT'S HALF THE BATTLE. REMAINING HUMBLE IS AWESOME...NUFF SAID.

He’s been waiting to get out of that deal for a while. Can’t wait to hear his next album.

Étoufée is hella doPe!!! Personal favorite!

The album is fantastic top to bottom.

zane is probably one of my favorite interviewers ever. right off the bat starting the interview with such a provocative and natural sounding question, he’s so professional and energetic, yet heartfelt and personable. fine lines

The hat 👌🏽 Vince!

Vince is really so intentional, even in his listening skills.

project is fire. i’m still stuck on the first 5 tracks

Vince mad patient for sitting 52 minutes with this dude
