He kept it real about his journey. No sugar coating, no fake dream being sold to make himself sound greater than what he is. That’s why people fuck with Vince, and that’s why I’ll always support him.
That last part is key. "How can you make it if you're not all in?". Everyone wants to start halfway in or find a way to prohibit or postpone their suffering but the only way to actually get through it is to stay in ALL the way as long as you can. The doors are opened for you, but you have to walk upstairs to get to them. Sacrifice and no support will really eat you up. People will watch you struggle in any dream you have. And it takes a person fully invested into it to truly get a breakthrough. No matter how many times you have to try. Despite the talent and ethic, there is no exception. The people that get there early, don't last.

Vince like this in every interview. He not scared to talk about his life candidly, but he not gonna say nothing to mess up his business or get him canceled either 😂
Was looking for this clip. Reminded me of Big Boi when he said you’re looking to be the butterfly without the caterpillar take ya time and do it right and you gone make it I swear my negus
Vince has always had all my respect. Dude has matured progressively all throughout his music career, from day one when he was collaborating with OFWG and Early Bird he was on some savage shit. Such a straight shooter, no nonsense, no bullshit, no fake hype, just crisp music and fucking bars. Solid minded individual.
Well put!! It is rare to see a comment on UA-cam that actually is articulate as well as concise! Bravo you definitely deserve all the flowers! I wouldn't have worded a comment about Vince better than that.... excellent & to the point. 👊
@@Tankology73 run on sentences, faces, stolen youth is the collab with Vince which pretty much set off his career. Even Watching movies has some trippy dark vibes.
I don’t know why this man keeps showing up in my feed. I’m a middle-aged white dude that loves music of kinds, big laughs , rugby, books, technology and OSINT. This is probably 4-5th video I’ve watched with this dude and all I’ve seen and heard is him keeping it simple, in the day and not getting distracted from his goal by anything. And then being generous with his experience from his continued good choices. Digable knowledge no matter who TF you are or your circumstances. Respect the grind.
Respect, wisdom and intelligence, been a fan of Vince since the go, you got no friends in the world you still got your true fans, appreciate you and everything you’ve done.
I think Earl got tired of the fame. People were saying “Free Earl” since I was in highschool and never even heard a song. Same thing that happened to Cole, Frank, Bryson and a lot of the TDE guys. They found a way to make money with exposing as little of their life as possible and did exactly that
Earls recent music has been TERRIBLE IMO.I used to love his shit more than anyone but even that song the caliphate with Vince is just word vomit mumbled over the same tired beats he’s been using for ten years. Still love Vince’s shit though it never gets stale to me.
Followed Vince from the jump, crazy to see what hes become! I remember seeing him open for Joey/Pro Era and he had the place so lit for an opener. Blue Suede had everyone goin nuts and I knew right then he was gonna blow up real quick. Saw him a bit later touring for the release of Summertime 06 and it was one of the funnest shows ive ever been to. Birds & Bees and Get Paid had everyone goin nuts, I had to leave the pit and throw up in the trash can bc I was dehydrated asf and goin craazy 😂😂 threw up downed some water and jumped right back in. Good times, thanks for that Vince.
@@aroundourhype just wild to me cause back in the day I thought they was tight but now I see Vince saying he was folding clothes and making sure earl was on his bus and shit
They were prolly tight. It takes a lot for someone to let someone come on their tour bus and perform on their tour. Vince was just paying dues is all. I’m sure it’s all love!
Through collaboration. It wasn’t like Vince was ever an official member. He was just around making ends meet & making connections. He was never apart of an actual collective.
@@GrisGrisPhillearl could’ve gave the job to some dude, or give it to his friend n help vince get paid. i don’t think their relationship was strictly professional.
One of the most objective rappers in the business. Dude is so transparent and neutral within every conversation. Truly refreshing that he does not hide the game at all. A straight shooter 🎯
I remember seeing him with Joey badass right after shyne cold chain vol 2, people didn't give a fuck. But I knew. The real ones knew and he put in work and made it like I knew he would.
Now this is real! I respect the fact that he doesn’t act like he forgot where he came from. He remembers exactly how much went into reaching this point in his career. I wish ya nothing but more success man.
I've been hearing his name for years and I still haven't heard one song of his. I'm about to go check out some of his catalog. Shoutout from the 225-BR-Louisiana 💪🏾

Its the same in everything. When people see you doing something really well they assume that they too can do it overnight. You have to be all in for a long time.
I’m a huge Vince fan and I understand what he’s saying. But he said he never had a crew of n…s behind him then named 4 legendary n…s that were behind him. Sometimes yo blessings are right under your nose
I feel what you’re saying, but he’s more talking about being apart of a group or team that has connections. These instances he’s talking about are one-off opportunities that he’s made the most of. He’s grateful to them Forsure, but it’s not like he’s on rockin with TDE or anything just cuz he did shows with them y’know?
@@kinfoul Mac Miller produced a few albums for him and Mac, Earl & Schoolboy took him on the road and let him perform in front of their fans which grew his fan base too. Outside of a lump some of money you really can’t get more support than that
@sexwaletokyo7639 I mean he admits here Mac taught him basics of making music. I'm sure he had potential, but tons of people have potential and never get that type of shot. He earned what he got, but he should drop the chip on his shoulder. He legit got lucky too.
They were all young grinding musicians at the time. Yes that experience was invaluable, but in the moment you don’t know that because everyone is on go mode. Vince still had to climb from the bottom of that totem pole. Performing basically when the doors open is a bitch. Nobody’s there for you, nobody knows your music, hell they probably aren’t even paying attention and the venue isn’t even half full. A lot of artist can’t handle that.
What helped Vince was him being surrounded by genuine, dope names who all wanted to see each other win. Q, Soul, TDE, Joey Badass, The Whole Pro Era and Beast Coast, Mac Miller, Casey Veggies, Odd Future, ASAP MOB, Danny Brown, Childish, Chance etc I could name a lot more. They all felt like crews within a crew. That era of rap was beautiful to witness. And for Snoop to help guide him and not give him hand-outs ❤
Most fans of modern hip-hop would say that what he's describing sounds like a dream career, meeting and touring with all these artists, but he's talking about the real life aspect.
bro no one describes folding clothes, waiting to do your dream (record) while everyone around you is passing you by for two years, getting a lowkey slave wage (500/mo) and having no recognition “the dream.” If you mean touring, that’s like people who seek fame. That’s not the part to aspire to at all.
This homeboy got some wisdom with him, insightful interviews.
He really so above whatever the industry wants for rappers. He knows who he is.
Facts … seems like a chill, intelligent young man … Respect 🫡
His Complex interview w/Morman has some classic moments
I’m not falling for this Nigga story at all. Something smells about this guy.
