  • Vince Staples Bites Back At Noreaga And Others Who Say He Doesn't Appreciate 1990's Hip Hop

    Vince Staples was born in 1993, as he readily admits. He did not truly "experience" the age of "boom-bap" Hip Hop inspired by the production of the East Coast's RZA and the "g-funk" of West Coast's Dr. Dre. However, like most rappers (and music fans), the era is held in extremely high regard. Classic albums like Illmatic, Ready to Die, Reasonable Doubt, The Chronic, Enter The Wu Tang (36 Chambers), Hard To Earn, etc. cement the decade as one of the most important in the short history of hip-hop. These albums dealt with the sociopolitical issues facing African American youths in the inner city, and shined a light on an issue many Americans ignored. Vince Staples, however, is not particularly impressed with the decade's output, nor the comments made by peers such as Tyler the Creator and Noreaga over his critique.
