Vince Staples DARK TIMES 5/24 Discussion Thread

"Radio"

 

[Goat poster]

Top 5 rapper since 2020. Been dropping better music than Kendrick. Doesn’t get the love he deserves. I will try to catch him on tour this time around

Why the Kendrick comparison?

Album is pretty good (nice production and mixing). But vince is as average as the day is long. He has no..........umph. And majority of his rhymes have to do with women.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Amazing record. Production (and mixing) is stripped down perfectly for Vince to paint his canvas. His progression as an artist has been impressive and continues here. Def some of his best hooks and songwriting in general.

I can't be the only person who immediately felt the impression that this and Blue Lips are complimentary pieces. Very similar vibes.

 

[SNG]

Justin is way too short the production on that is fire.

 

[I'm Blackman]

Album very nice. I like the vibe of it.

Been on repeat all weekend. I knew I heard that sample in the beginning of Freeman, Alchemist used it on Sincerely Antique also by Roc Marciano

 

[superchoops]

some of the production on this

Black&Blue, Children's Song, Justin, "Radio" haven't left my mind

I turned up my savage, i turned down they street and i made me a hit

 

[JP_614]

Black and Blue

 

[Corndog]

Have been spinning this non stop. I think it's Vince's best album, by a country mile

 

[Ironman]

Shame on the devil been on repeat

“Don't be no crab in the bucket, be a Crip at the Ritz
Them crackers see me in the suite and try to call up the pigs
But we know they don't fly, the top floor way too high”…


vince’s pen is underrated…it’s crazy breh doesn’t have a bad project…some of his projects might not connect for some people sonically, but all of his projects have dope production and clever wordplay imo…

breh is legit in his own lane…

I don't buy vinyl so hopefully he puts a CD up on his store at some point. I have all his other albums except FM!

i don’t have a single vince CD and i’m kinda sick about it…

did you cop all the CDs from his site when they dropped?…

Yeah mostly, I missed out on FM! at the time but his others you can still buy elsewhere (Discogs, Amazon). idk if Def Jam will ever reissue his CDs.

not a bad album by any means but pretty boring not much reply value
