"If we are going to be voyeurs...the least we can do is make eye contact" WOW

[@SeanLKearns]

Thank you for giving Vince shine. Kendrick does not have to be the only conscious street poet.

[@chinortega3]

I like how you used the show to elaborate as well

[@vantageva]

The last video you did on Vince made me a fan of yours, i know this gonna be a good one. Dark Times is so good.

[@AIJ.productions1]

His last three projects been phenomenal

[@Shuvon95]

I like Vince as a person. The music too slow and not enough for me. Could convey his message better but I get the whole monotone sound and boring flows and beats.

If you listen to his music it’s really for his homies all the most of the songs on this albums is stuff his homies can play and feel some type of way

[@fentanyljones6956]

This album is possibly the best ‘polish off a label commitment’ album ever. His last 3 are all top 5 albums in their given release year.

[@MolassesLovesTheEclipse]

I just realized you changed the title 3 times

[@VenusianLissette]

emptiness is a weird demon to fight, because it’s more akin to a ghost, it feels like something that clings, and doesn’t give any comfort. it’s weird how that works.

Incredible analysis of Vince’s work. Thank you so much

[@henrichoi749]

My favorite album of the last few years has been Vince Staples' self titled, got me through a tough time. Your first Vince video brought my love of Vince's music to another level. Thank you for this new one, hoping this explodes because you deserve so much praise man

[@spartan117q13]

Wow really amazing video. Your ability to bring together the story of each of Vinces album alongside the clips from interviews and his show and performances is incredible. Vince staples is one of the most thoughtful artists out there and you analyzed and a displayed his media in a way im sure he would appreciate.

i just got this video recommended and it's been a wonderful introduction to your channel. When you spoke about how "the courtesy given to strangers = losing out on vulnerability", that was a brilliant statement.

[@Haarunh2]

What a video man. What a video. Vince staples really an interesting guy the more you pay attention to what he’s trying to say. Think you conveyed that super well

[@BacchusAurelius-yj4mb]

Vince has been in my top 3 since his self titled. Absolutely underrated lyricist. Dark Times is my album of the year so far.
