With his Hell Can Wait EP released yesterday, Vince Staples spoke with HipHopDX from the studio about his take on the state of of authenticity in Hip Hop in a clip that premiered as a part of today’s DX Daily (October 8).
“These niggas is playing bro,” he said. “Everybody sell cocaine and they making $30,000 per shipment and got three shipments a week but they still rapping even though you gotta pay taxes and you gotta stress your ass out, go on the road, and all this other stuff. You gotta spend money to make money but you was making more money selling your little cocaine than you doing rapping but you’re still rapping. It don’t make no fucking sense. C’mon bruh, these niggas ain’t really doing half the stuff they [saying]. The one’s you not thinking about is probably the one’s that’s doing it. That’s probably the best thing about California, the West Coast, whatever you want to call it. That’s the best part about where we at with music ‘cause most the people that’s out now is actually about something.”
Earlier today, HipHopDX released the full interview with Staples in which he addresses No I.D.’s support and his status at Def Jam.
“I got a good ass manager,” he said. “I got a good ass A&R. No I.D. is in there pressin’ niggas for me. I don’t even be over there, but it’s all the same. It’s a business so you gotta act like it’s a business. The second you stop going to work is the second you fuck your whole shit up. So, I go to work. The label is my boss and they gotta cut my paycheck. It’s all a compromise. They compromise you by giving you money before you even do anything. So you have to compromise by giving them something that they can do something with. And, that’s where I’m at right now and I got no problem doing that because what the fuck else am I going to do? I didn’t graduate from High School.”

Rick Ross killed Authenticity In Hip Hop
Nas and 2pac are the first two to come to mind when it comes to killing authenticity.If anything Ross was more about that life than these two clowns,just on a different front.
Please anonymous do explain how two of great artists like Nas and 2pac killed authenticity because if you take what these rappers say at face value, you a fool. Believe half of what you hear and half of what ya see, its entertainment for a reason!!!!
