Sometime last year Vince Staples turned a lot of heads when he said that 90’s Hip-Hop music is overrated. While most viewed his take on the era as blasphemous, at the end of the day the man was just speaking his own personal opinion. That one statement put him on a lot of people’s radars as it peaked their interest as to what exactly this young’n thought made him so special that he could speak ill on Hip-Hop’s golden era.

}(document, ‘script’, ‘wibbitz-static-embed’));
Today the Long Beach rapper released his EP Prima Donna (promptly titled some might say based off that 90’s statement). To promote the release the articulate rapper checked in with the Breakfast Club to explain his controversial statement, growing up around gang life, and why he doesn’t indulge in the club and party life most rappers live for.
Here are the 10 things we learned about Vince Staples on the Breakfast Club.
