Vince Staples: Literal And Factual Lyrics Represent Himself
Sharing standards of authenticity that led him to critical acclaim, Vince Staples spoke with the Recording Academy in 2015 at Santa Monica headquarters, Calif. about his approach to music, working with producer No I.D., and being real as himself. After listing greats Aerosmith, the Beatles, Elton John and Little Richard for their distinctive identities, Staples asks, "If Adele wasn't that person, if Amy Winehouse wasn't that person, would their music be the same? And the answer is clearly no."
