Editor's note

Vince Staples, the Long Beach rapper with an off-center sound

A rapper who writes what he knows, from the tough parts of his neighborhood to electronic experiments.

For a good frame, listen to 'Norf Norf' for the raw neighborhood stories and 'Big Fish Theory' for the off-center sound. That's Staples in a nutshell.

Staples doesn't shy away from difficult subjects, giving tracks like 'Norf Norf' and 'Home' a direct, unvarnished quality. His music isn't about fitting a genre, it's about finding the right sound for what he's saying, which is why 'Big Fish Theory' has that distinct electronic feel. He's been standing by that approach since his 2014 mixtape 'Shyne Coldchain Vol. 2' got him attention.

After 'Shyne Coldchain Vol. 2' in 2014 led to a Def Jam deal, he put out 'Summertime '06' in 2015 and 'Big Fish Theory' in 2017. More recently, 'FM!' came out in 2022, showing he's still working in that lane of hip-hop with touches of R&B and electronic production.

Archive material and source history

Vince Staples is a rapper from Long Beach, California who started getting attention around 2014 with his mixtape 'Shyne Coldchain Vol. 2.' That led to a deal with Def Jam, and he's put out records like 'Summertime '06' in 2015, 'Big Fish Theory' in 2017, and 'FM!' in 2022.

His songs often deal with the tougher parts of growing up in his neighborhood. Tracks like 'Norf Norf' and 'Home' have a direct, unvarnished quality that doesn't shy away from difficult subjects. Some people took issue with the content in 'Norf Norf' back in 2018, but Staples has generally stood by writing what he knows.

Musically, his work doesn't stick to one lane. You can hear hip-hop foundations, but there are also touches of R&B and electronic production that give albums like 'Big Fish Theory' a distinct, off-center feel. It's less about fitting a genre and more about finding the right sound for what he's saying.
