[@nykballaz]

Pharrell talking like a celebrity, Vince talking like someone on the everyday. I teach, these kids don’t care because they don’t see the impact

[@riversider2506]

BIG OL'FACTS 🤞 💯 🏁

[@L0Sinc]

Vince for president.

[@Twitch0n3]

Vince's face having to sit through the nothing that Pharrell was saying is hilarious

[@sbulathe1]

He had no evidence of what he was saying

[@vincentabraham7690]

lmao yes

[@riversider2506]

Lmaooooo 😂 FACTS 😂

[@kmarieking12]

Idk how you can say Pharrell was talking about nothing. He’s actually talking about people like you. Open your ears and pay attention.

[@wayback1010]

he was saying something, y'all just dont wanna listen. he basically said the country was founded by aristocrats who were focused on their business interests, and after 300 years this is the broken system thats been produced out of that.

[@IsiomaO]

They could have just had Vince sitting center stage on a bar stool by himself talking tbh

[@chefsweaty6744]

He would've done that shit too

[@TreTryon]

Everyone spoke but only Vince said something.

[@kelsiefloyd5499]

Exactly ...I know Vince was like "yall talkin to talk wth is the point"

[@billmassy]

yep, Pharrell was especially sayin nothin

[@webwowo]

For real Vince always look annoyed in discussions like this.

[@Luv7free]

As usual

[@morganwadlow2160]

billmassy you ain’t understand anything cuz he was probably talking bout a nigga like you

[@Rikiid_]

A lot of celebrities can talk that talk, but Vince actually walked that shit & is bout that life

[@seandafny]

I agree. Whats ur IG?

[@Rikiid_]

Sean Dafny @gucci_heaux

[@threex1]

Vince said some real shit and noone was able to relate so they just gave him the sad clap

[@riversider2506]

BIG FACTS 🤞 💯 🏁

[@notforsale9488]

Vince is the only one saying something refreshing and realistic. The rest are just talking to hear themselves talk.

[@iFloating]

spot on

[@notforsale9488]

R Ree Beats right, perfect representation of those who are naturally deep vs fake deep aka majority of people. And the funny thing is Vince didn’t use much academic language, big words, or overtly complex phrases. His words were Simple and to the point and that made him the deepest on the panel 😂

[@riversider2506]

True AF 💯

[@chuckacidmakesheat]

I wish they didnt just gloss over what vince said. Its so true

[@SUNDARAJAI]

Y’all peepin vince’s facial expressions? 😭😭

[@StaGeeOfficial]

A police officer threatened to shoot Vince on stage so he performed with a bulletproof vest

[@JayyBanks]

I don’t know wtf they talkin bout, but I’m here for Vince 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@kelsiefloyd5499]

Watch how Vince looks at pharrell while he's talking and watch as pharrell finished he looked disappointed .when the crowd clapped he looked like "oh y'all liked that?? "(confused)

[@Classikh]

Naw Pharell's the one who started the clap.

[@kelsiefloyd5499]

@@Classikh I'm talking about at the end

[@kelsiefloyd5499]

@R Ree Beats Vince gave a deep perspective to the everyday reality of people while everyone else danced around the surface of the topic

[@kelsiefloyd5499]

@R Ree Beats its not so much social media but its more so social selfishness.we as a people are living our reality that if we don't see or feel the impacted in our everyday lives we're ignorant to having empathy

[@domgreen1859]

vince striaght up dropped the heaviest wow

[@rainydays158]

They don't know that vince is talking about prison/hood politics and 13 for sureños and how things work out here from long beach to La And the separation of blacks and mexicans being together because of gang culture.

[@chewychew8519]

Rainy Days we grow up with each other till we’re like 14 then we “hate” each other

[@chewychew8519]

luis _ you ain’t from long beach, stay in your suburb weirdo

[@rainydays158]

@luis _ Not everyone is strong minded alot of these kids that gang bang gotta follow rules.

[@ohnonotjo]

@@chewychew8519 only segregate behind bars. Weirdo wannabes taking rules too seriously un the street

[@blueheavn4550]

everybody talked in circles. I have no clue what Pharrell was trying to get at

[@rochiggidy]

Vince is the truth. Brought it back to daily reality, what’s immediate to most people.

[@greenleafgoblin]

Ayo Pharrell got out shined on this joint, Vince just was dropping bars. My boy owns features,

[@Oallright]

I love Vince Staples so much.

[@bootywarriorkc]

“A man named deray once said if you go into a 6th grade classroom and talk to them about racism theyre gonna tell you they dont know what that is . Im here to tell you in 6th grade we was already beefin with the mexicans”

[@MojenasWorld]

I love Vince. Hope I get to meet him one day.

[@ObeyAmmalol]

Vince with the mic drop

[@rainydays158]

I love his way of thinking he's more realistic then alot of celebrities who claim to be aware of what's going on, Vince actually has had experience.

[@DJVesperX]

"You don't gotta be a mason to see though some of this shit on occasion"

[@CG-en1ts]

Vince talking divine facts. He knows about being terrorized by your neighbourhood and the trauma that leaves on your soul.

[@dbakhtiar]

i started watching this and immediately felt like pharrell was talking out his ass, then saw vince's reaction on one of the wide shots, then came to the comments and was relieved to find so many people felt the way i did. so wack.

[@H2O-no2vg]

When 12 minutes feels like 5 minutes, I know this full conversation is pure gold.

[@maritareads5229]

Pharrell is really tone deaf here. What Vince said was more chilling than some kumbaya-Trump-is-bad-vote-blue spiel. No one's gonna care about all that if they don't even have the access or if their lives are on the line on the ground. That's a privilege

[@agnesokpeh2055]

If Pharell put examples to his points, he would’ve came more clear but I think he was scared of sounding controversial.. Loved the realness of Vince.

[@raymondfrederick3312]

I literally fast forward until Vince talked

[@Eng.Creation]

Listening to Pharell at the end was a challenge...

[@imdavidshin]

i was there for this and it was truly an experience.

[@popotade4621]

did pharrell keep talking out of his ass?

[@somenothing7914]

they should've addressed what Vince was talking about, Pharrell seems pretty cool, but glossing over Vince's statement, and him talking about just party politics was admittedly hella lame, even with those future shades

Yo Vince talks about urgency, and the need to bypass rhetorics about a newly found way of feeling the heat. Good that you are informed and can express your well read, macro and disconnected idea of an on-going problem.. Things always been that way, Sorry Pharrell, you tha bro bro, but why are you suddenly shutting down the convo by talking to yourself, questioning and answering seeds of a rotten tree Let the man speak, ask him questions, get rid of the I”” if you are seriously working on a “we”

[@jario2970]

vince is amazing

[@sbkhomer]

Um 😐 I need more... more please.

Pharrell not in the title but he on one lmao

[@dani__crocs]

I see a lot of people criticizing DeRay, why is that? I don't know much about him I would like to know why.

[@mbcudatree]

People question if he's really down for the cause or for his own exposure and celebrity.

[@PaintedHoundie]

People are skeptical about his intentions. He might be a careerist or opportunist, and his affiliation with blm which people have been very critical doesnt help.

[@russiantothemoney]

I only clicked on it cause it said Vince staples

[@brizzydanks9083]

i couldnt make it past 10 seconds of pharrell at the end

Why does Vince look like *Russell Westbrook* in the thumbnail? 😂

[@rainydays158]

Deep down vince wanted to roast pharell for making no sense.

[@Mrken2786]

[@iamdanielrobles]

Pharrell is on some different shit wtf is he talking about Craaazzy how Vince just listens and doesn’t sound off (respect for big bro on the big stage is what that was)

[@Praguccitton]

Thought it was Soulja boy in the thumbnail

[@antoniocuevas6855]

alright i've listened to this video countless times, more specifically Pharrell's part to try to see what any of these guys have said that's wrong. I don't what's wrong with anything Pharrell or DeRay said. Vince built upon what was said about how we learn and connect through stories of other people's experience and told what his and his hood's views and experience is like. (clearly we all connected from what i can tell from reading the comments) then Pharrell brought up an extremely valid point. do you guys think that people with an opposing opinion that only strengthen fascist belief are just going to fade away? People hear an opposing opinion and just turn down any shot at a conversation. Then we wonder why we're divided. we create the divide, no matter what side we stand on.

[@pizzakilla4870]
