THE SHINING (Lyric Video)

[@HokiePitcher22]

I love when artists like Vince choose quality over quantity on their albums. Instead of dropping 20+ track albums to boost streaming numbers with only a few bangers, this man just dropped a half an hour of heat.

[@iamhexoronii]

No one does it to boost streams lol cause 30 tracks or 6 after a few days ppl will only stream the quality hits of those albums ,

[@HokiePitcher22]

@@iamhexoronii you just disagreed with what I said, then confirmed what I was saying. Obviously, eventually they focus on their favorite songs but if u are a well know artist and u drop, say, a 24 track album. Ur fans will listen to all 24 at least for the first couple days then focus on the hits....thus, more streams...what am I missing?

[@heckel2287]

This ain’t the point lol it’s a lot more factors than this 🤣😂

[@cli260]

Do Ye have anyone particular in mind?

[@michael-gz3ty]

I definitely agree w you but i also feel like its a subjective thing too in some ways. Like some people will think the artist who has 20+ tracks on an album has all bangers too

[@ostyavoronipopemakaroni9007]

Vince told in an interview and on the album that he realised he doesn't need to make music for the masses, he's comfortable with just making something he likes, so if this album won't be popular, it's not a big deal for him

Kenny beats really did his thing on this one

[@seancoolie01]

Vince really showing off his vocal abilities with this album, he's got a good voice

[@ty_teynium]

I don't detect any autotune or voice corrector being used. Additionally I kinda never got used to hearing rappers sing or vocalize the melodies but it's just refreshing when I hear an artist in their own voice. I feel like ever since Drake first came out that's when everybody else started doing it.

[@seancoolie01]

@@ty_teynium yeah sounds about right. I'm sure drake was just riding off somebody else's style when he first started doing it tho

[@dieselclockwork]

This man is one of the reasons I started making my own music. Even if I’ll always be a underground producer and rapper, I’ll always love making music and sharing my art with whoever is kind enough to listen Thank you Vince! ❤️

[@brendonpenn3112]

He never referenced Shyne🤣🤣

[@mjavbeats6605]

@@brendonpenn3112 Vince has been referencing Shyne for a long time 🤣🤣. He has 2 projects with Shyne's name (Shyne Coldchain Vol 1 & 2). It's likely the bar was a reference to Shyne, but the editor who produced the lyric video didn't know.

[@isaiahflores3411]

I don’t get it lol

[@BrotherMalMusic]

I think it’s more of a metaphor for a movie, specifically a horror movie like _The Shining,_ which is the title. _”Blower with a beam”_ (gun with a laser sight, but also cameras shoot, and also have lights). _”Shine when I hit the scene”_ (Shine, like a movie *star* would in a movie. “scene”, as in movie scene. _The Shining_ is one of the most famous horror movies. He’s comparing him with a gun to something out of a horror film). That’s just my take though.

@@yusomadfor that's called being authentic. I'm gonna bump this in a Cayenne in a lil bit and even though he literally shouts out that car the music won't feel as real. Instead of hearing plastic it will be plastic. If you got good speakers you're either driving an overpriced car or you've f***ed your car by modifying it and doing a sh*t job. Back in the day dudes driving around in f***ed cars with low budget tuning on it and the bass was so strong you could hear half their car falling apart from it. Now it's the opposite the cars are carbon based but the people inside the cars are plastic.
