“Reparations”

 

[FlimFlam]

that was less white humiliation and more reduction of the concepts of black power and reparations into comedic side bars

 

[Squirrel from Meteor Man]

Corny, like everything else he does

 

[Turbulent]

Cringe

 

[DoubleClutch]

I think deep down he hates the fact that all his shows are predominantly white kids and they rap the N word

 

[Cloutius Maximus]

kinda cringe but he's a West Coast Black Millennial who isn't c00ning so we gotta take what we can get

I like his insight more than his music but I can see him producing some dope shyt in tv/film

He said that damn near verbatim on his song Lift me up "all these white folks chanting when i ask where my nikkas at....going crazy....got me going crazy....i cant get with that"

 

[WeDemBoyz]

Exactly this

Exactly this

What’s crazy is he has to perform for whites just to make money but at the same time hates his fan base

He probably feels like a minstrel show

 

[The War Report]

Damn

Yea he on a higher frequency, he’s just a conflicted man. It’s the reason why Kendrick made To Pimp a Butterfly as well.

be front row at a Vince show recording and cheesin but don't know the words to the songs. Yet still so thirsty for attention you take your ass up there anyways.

Always felt Vince had an interesting brand of black conscious gangsta rap, however like a previous poster said, I like his insight more than his music. I can see him quitting rap early, but I hope he keeps expressing his thoughts and ideas to the community.

The tempo and general vibe of his music (and his personality) is very conducive to suburban and/or white people. But the content of his music isn't. Which is where his problem is.

Whether it's a joke, a song or some insight he's sharing, he delivers in a way white people can understand, but the messaging is always clearly street, black and sometimes insightfully conscious.

You can clearly tell from the bars and his life story he's probably way closer to a gangbanger than a Mac Miller, but he just has a personality and the delivery of a Mac Miller.

Tough spot to be in I guess.
