13077554, how fucking out of touch can you be? Posted by RobOne4, Wed Oct-05-16 09:58 AM
you have an 11 year old child and you are just now learning that as a parent you should be monitoring what your kids listen to? Heads up you should monitor their computer and TV use too.

13077575, I love how âthe big hitsâ of her day were confined to boy bands Posted by Cold Truth, Wed Oct-05-16 10:16 AM
Like DMX, Jay and Ja werenât dominating the air waves and crossing over to pop at the time.

And I wouldn't be surprised if four of those kids probably don't share the same father and weren't all born within wedlock.

13077589, Imma go ahead and play devils advocate Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Wed Oct-05-16 10:34 AM
If she reads those lyrics and concludes, that Vince Staples and the folks who are into this song don't really respect black lives and black women, would she be wrong? ********** "Everyone has a plan until you punch them in the face. Then they don't have a plan anymore." (c) Mike Tyson

its done all the time and its wrong as fuck
|
13077668, It's a nihilistic track to show you how the lifestyle's fucked Posted by BigReg, Wed Oct-05-16 12:10 PM
the whole album is about drug addiction, suicide and other downfalls of teenage gang life. The problem is that the assumption is that its a song that sees these things as a *positive* but the whole tone of the song is dark taken in context; shit in the video is a long take of him unglamorously getting arrested.

13077708, I figured you come through and break it down. My follow-up would be Posted by Buddy_Gilapagos, Wed Oct-05-16 12:37 PM
do most people get that? And not just Christian lady who hears it for the first time but the fans singing along?
I mean we all knew scarface was the villian and his choices would lead to his death, but isn't the morality angle lost on the kid with the scarface poster up in his bed room?

13077724, Alot of people don't, alot of people do. Posted by BigReg, Wed Oct-05-16 12:47 PM
Plenty of people don't get that Kendrick's Swimming Pools is an indictment of abuse of alcohol, many of them probably consider themselves big Kendrick fans
Even in 2016 there are political rallies using the Springstein Gawd's 'Born in the USA' as an "America, fuck yeah!" song.
But there's a difference in casually misinterpreting a song (lord knows we all have messed up lyrics in our heads that change the meaning of a song), and her having a mental breakdown over a rap song when we live in a world where Eminem has gone -diamond- several times over, lol.
|
13077710, Word...She's judging things without understanding the context. Posted by Marbles, Wed Oct-05-16 12:38 PM
If she's never listened to hip-hop, she's going to miss a lot of the nuances and how the point of view affects the meaning of the song.
It's pretty ridiculous that we keep having to explain this in 2016.

I've been to the northside of LB. it doesn't LOOK 'hood' at all. but i hear that's how it goes in the Southland - the hood often doesn't look 'hood'.

13077672, we get a new "hot" rapper every month at this point. hard to keep up. Posted by double negative, Wed Oct-05-16 12:12 PM
you know how it goes, sometimes you get on a hardcore rap kick and other times you just want to listen to jazz and disco records that influenced hip hop for months at a time

13077913, yeah def understand Posted by astralblak, Wed Oct-05-16 04:18 PM

13077660, I can't get enough of her saying "Nerf" instead of "Norf" Posted by Marauder21, Wed Oct-05-16 12:06 PM

meanwhile they give absolutely no fucks about the conditions black and brown folks are forced to endure. Doesn't matter what Vince Staples actually had to live through (so that you can live your comfortable ass life), they DO NOT wanna hear about it. The problem isn't that people live in those situations, it's that they talk about it.

13077696, they don't really care about us Posted by legsdiamond, Wed Oct-05-16 12:28 PM

13077953, whole album is flames. Posted by kinetic94761180, Wed Oct-05-16 05:41 PM

13077960, yeah, i put the album on the headphones, start to finish Posted by GOMEZ, Wed Oct-05-16 05:58 PM
i laughed at myself for missing it when it came out.
|
13078252, I definitely gotta recommend the Shyne Coldchain II album Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Thu Oct-06-16 01:39 PM
Best body of work he's done thus far

13077993, Yep. It's a pretty awesome track. Posted by denny, Wed Oct-05-16 08:07 PM

13078210, Vince Staples responds (link)... Posted by Boogie Stimuli, Thu Oct-06-16 01:01 PM
and it's the best response he possibly could have given:

VINCE STAPLES RESPONDS TO MOMâS VIRAL CRITICISM OF âNORF NORFâ:
âSHE HAS A RIGHT TO HER OPINIONâ "THIS MISUNDERSTANDING OF OUR COMMUNITY LEADS TO MISCOMMUNICATION WHICH WE SHOULD CONVERT INTO A PROGRESSIVE DIALOGUE"
PUBLISHED ON OCTOBER 6, 2016 BY KHARI NIXON
On Tuesday, a video of a white mother, stricken with grief over hearing Vince Staplesâ âNorf Norfâ blaring from her daughterâs favorite radio station, went viral. In said video, as another one of her children played on the floor behind her, this mother broke down emotionally over the lyrics of the song, which she found to be heinous, and went on to read the lyrics without omitting the ân-wordâ wherever it appeared.
âIâve gotta collect myself because this is what our youth is being subjected to,â said the woman, who cried on more than one occasion during her now infamous rant. A day later, Staples spoke with The Independent on the topic, and had this to say as a reaction.
âI donât really have much to say about the video â I donât think itâs funny at all. Itâs not right to attack someone over their stance, their opinions, and their religion. I think thatâs very immature.â
However, this morning on Twitter, Staples sarcastically thanked his Independent interviewer, Justin Carissimo, for the âmisquote.â He clarified his stance on the issue in a subsequent series of tweets, visible below.
Follow Vince Staples â @vincestaples What I was saying was that the woman in that video is clearly confused on the context of the song which causes her to be frightened. 4:28 AM - 6 Oct 2016 899 899 Retweets 2,439 2,439 likes
Follow Vince Staples â @vincestaples She also, in my opinion, seems to be emotionally unstable. With both those things being said, she has a right to her opinion. 4:28 AM - 6 Oct 2016 701 701 Retweets 2,066 2,066 likes
Follow Vince Staples â @vincestaples No person needs to be attacked for their opinion on what they see to be appropriate for their children. They have a right to it. 4:29 AM - 6 Oct 2016 1,146 1,146 Retweets 3,311 3,311 likes
Follow Vince Staples â @vincestaples This misunderstanding of our community leads to miscommunication which we should convert into a progressive dialogue. 4:30 AM - 6 Oct 2016 1,341 1,341 Retweets 3,090 3,090 likes
Follow Vince Staples â @vincestaples Thats all I have to say about that. Stop asking me. 4:30 AM - 6 Oct 2016 440 440 Retweets 1,738 1,738 likes
Staples has been open about his vivid storytelling, and the violent images it evokes throughout his career. In a June cover story with The Fader, he described the treacherous lifestyle he was subjected to as a childâjust by being born on the âwrongâ blockâand the psychological effect it had on him as a teen, and then an artist.
From The Fader:
The situation like, âThe city trying to take the house again. The police is here. So-and-so went to jail. We ainât got no food. The waterâs off. The house is getting shot up,ââ Staples says. âOnce that was out of my head, it was like, âNow what are we going to do with this rapping?

|
13078660, Yeah. Posted by flipnile, Fri Oct-07-16 11:22 AM
Shit bothers me in a way that I really can't explain. It's almost pure manipulation and fake-naivity with an underlying energy of malice, negativity and superiority.
Basically, this broad did all of this JUST to put rap music (and the people that are associated with it) down.
