Vince Staples Explains Why Hip-Hop Is Not A ‘Game’ But A ‘Business’

Vince Staples has never been one to mince his words about… anything. It was just last month that Vince criticized record labels for seeking “money in the violence” against rappers. “It’s money in it and they gonna keep selling it and we gonna keep perpetuating it and we gon’ be hurt when somebody die,” he said during the interview on Hot 97. “I don’t necessarily know if they care. If they did, man the album ready in four weeks once you die. You get more press on the album after you die.” Fresh off the release of his fifth album Ramona Park Broke My Heart, Vince took a moment to give his thoughts on the way hip-hop is presented.

Vince Staples Drops ‘Ramona Park Broke My Heart’

It is often said that fans don’t buy into music as much as they buy into the people that make it. If this is true, it would explain why fans love to see behind-the-scenes content, listen to podcast interviews featuring their favorite singers and buy autobiographies written by their favorite producers. It would also explain why the world can’t take its eyes off of Vince Staples. Coming out of California, Vince Staples has always been a talented musician, but his personality and incomparable wit has taken him to new heights. Throughout his latest album, Ramona Park Broke My Heart, his wit, unique personality, storytelling capabilities and lyricism are all on display.

This was nowhere more apparent than on last year’s self-titled fourth LP, which took the 42nd spot on our Best Albums of 2021 list for its magnetic moodiness. That record found Vince at his most thoughtful, as he shared his razor-sharp social observations on his upbringing and the world around him.
