[@Emmanuel-ix4yc]

This shit is like a movie in itself! Vince is trying to say something here, prima donna top ten this year

[@cotathemc4797]

I love that it's always got a deeper message.. even if it's hard truths we don't like to face

[@Emmanuel-ix4yc]

Yeah exactly we need younger people like Vince to make this stuff known

[@cotathemc4797]

+4ever Yung Flaquito truth!

[@loser6864]

Yeah I fucked with what kid cudi did with maniac

[@loser6864]

Sasha Millar way better than fhat drake and stuff...

[@PixelGunner3D]

Sasha Millar is way beetef ytyan u bo what.

[@lukeberrie3942]

No, Vince is not gonna kill himself. This film is about the pressures of fame and how some people just can't deal with it (hence the crowd of people, hallucinations and the dead people seen in the hotel). Sometimes fame can sometimes drive a man crazy, leading to death. In this instance, resulting in the death of Vince. However, this film and EP isn't a cry for help, instead it is telling us that fame can be great, but it isn't great for everybody and it can destroy you mentally and end you permanently. The death of Vince may be symbolic that he has killed his egotistical side (hence Big Time being the song played in the beginning) and he has kept his real side alive and from now on he will keep it real. Well shit, I overexplained that one, didn't I. I just think this video is fucking brilliant and it summarizes the message of the EP really well. Well done Mr. Staples. We're proud of you.

[@MoneyManMoore]

seem like you're one of the few that got it

[@person_people8134]

Luke Berrie - I couldn’t agree more that this video is brilliant and represents the themes of the EP very well. I was just so confused as to what it meant as a whole.

[@thefoundingdrip5226]

but there is also a lot of hellish metaphors that might’ve been what threw people off

[@ash-el2sy]

thats why there's a shot of hendrix in there

[@jersonatilo9190]

I don't know man... I am keeping my mind open. He might be calling for help.

[@dlikescheese]

I don't know what I just experienced, I don't even want to start analyzing it. I came and I saw.

[@SB_WZRD]

the video is about how fame and music and other business is ruining him to the point of suicidal thoughts with him dead represents dying by his own hand or doing

[@David28311]

+sebastian beltre that's Wat I was thinking the video has good symbology to understand

[@SB_WZRD]

Vince and Earl been going through it. Hope they get better. ✊

[@coldestkillerfanbass2600]

whats happened to them?

[@KabbaModern03]

+Danny Ryder depression

[@CodySlawter]

Earls grandma passed.. and Vince Staples idk..

[@Takemebackto2002]

DA its so weird but there music evolves due to it

[@rafaeldominguez4355]

Vince is depressed because of the gang banging he dislikes it he knows how it affects people in multiple ways the only thing that keeps them alive is the love they have for the little they have and I think Vince's mom is the one of the few things he's living for

[@aphr0d]

I think Vince has a beautiful mind. He's extremely talented and I hope he goes farther in his career while remaining even truer to himself.

[@thesliceisright]

Totally. Agreed. He's got such vision for his art it's amazing, especially being that he came from such a difficult past.. I mean, we all have our own struggles, but honestly he survived some intense ass shit, and then to come out of it with this beautiful art and his mastery of his craft is extremely inspiring. Got mad respect for that dude. Big fan.

[@a.j8307]

Vince and Kendrick got the best and most creative music videos in hip hop. also clipping

[@tryovi]

the most creative thing I've seen from a rapper

[@MostMorose]

Theres more creative videos from other rappers out there. I can't name many examples of the top of my head but yeah.

[@kashstory]

Lot of creative rappers, you just need to know where to look.

[@MixtapeMan07]

really man... its great but he's not the first to do something like this.. Schoolboy Q's "blank face lp movies Part 1-3" or Kendrick Lamar's "God is Gangsta" or Kanye West's "Runaway" come on man i can tell you dont really listen to too much hip hop.. do your research

[@AttaMan]

Or maybe he has an opinion. I've seen both God Is Gangsta and the Blank Face movies. This is more creative than both. Let people have their opinions.

[@Cooley96]

[@EeelsRadio]

the wall paper is the same design as the carpet from Stanley Kubricks "The Shining". so. fucking. dope

[@EeelsRadio]

in the elevator that is

[@jodovalley]

Yeah i noticed that, it's trying to show that this hotel is also possessed and therefore his fanbase is possessed (hotel a metaphor for his fans/critics). My interpretation

[@HarryVerolme]

I noticed that too! Also, the bell boy is called Johnny!

[@jacklarocque6299]

I WASN'T THE ONLY ONE TO NOTICE

[@dvnnydvrko3820]

[@Alcon58]

Did you guys see that at 5:48 Kurt Cobain, 5:52 Jimi Hendrix, 5:54 Tupac, and 5:59 Amy Winehouse are all checked in the hotel lol this shit is crazy

[@isaakhall2184]

Damn! I had to go back and watch that shit like 10 times lol

[@hubblebublumbubwub5215]

[@tyronenasty6815]

[@Gabsmoove]

Its a cry for help, but the video has enough evidence to support the fact that he sold his soul. and plus he is now signed to a UMG record label.

[@Kooliow12]

Right

[@dre3241]

+LGxCP stfu

[@bmtuha]

This is amazing. He's talking about how he's constantly struggling and how much much pain he goes through, so much that he doesn't even want to live. And he expresses it through his music and the crowd loves it. His struggles are entertainment for the party, for the people who listen. No one reaches out to help him because they can't fully understand. I'm buying this album

[@kipolicious2]

This felt like an episode of Black Mirror

[@boosterboy7584]

hell nah this shit deep

[@boosterboy7584]

i got so much respect for vince after this

[@sirskelletor]

[@tanboychris2143]

I think it was intentional since he's going crazy

[@apollogate4759]

Real nigga

[@johncarter1888]

+RenocideGamer same thoughts here

[@kelseyl5557]

"Every night up on my knees I pray, that everything will change and be ok, maybe I'll stay maybe I'll pass away, Im holding on to what the pastor say." That's one of the most accurate inner monologues. Like most of those suffering ..you develop this habit of dialogue in your head just to get you through the minute or hour. I respect Vince so much for creating a different conversation regarding mental health. Not sure if anyone can relate to this but that's what I love about his music.

[@kelseyl5557]

"Don't say you feel my pain cause I don't even feel myself, blood rushing through my brain, sometimes I wanna kill myself..sometimes I feel like giving up.. sometimes I feel like giving up..sometimes I feel like giving up..sometimes I feel like giving up.." I smiled knowing I wasn't the only one.

[@FerrariTeddy]

Wait, that inner monologue in my head isnr normal and is to get through my suffering? That actually makes a lot do sense

[@kreysi5745]

We watched this on acid with my friends. This is like one hell of a horror trip journey. You can absolutely feel the fear and lust on this video and all of the bs in a scene of a famous personality, But in the end when he shot him self. You can feel all the serenity and freedom from all of his dark journey .thank you for this masterpiece.

[@loveinthematrix]

Sooo intense bro

[@GeminiEye1314]

Outkast - ATLiens, for those of you who aren't aware of what the song was with Andre 3000 rapping. If you weren't aware I suggest you listen to the album front to back because it is one of the top 20 hip hop albums of all time.

[@ReturnTheSlab932]

agreed 3000 percent

[@jchocolatevoice]

[@kevinwhite2260]

[@threestacks9025]

"I feel the need to tell everyone my superior intellect by showing my knowledge of hip hop"

[@hoagie7859]

Yet you feel the need to come at their neck. Did they make you feel inferior? I think he was just letting people know, cause that's a great album I think many people should listen to. nothing about his comment seemed malicious but yours on the other hand... lol. People are so soft these days.

[@GeminiEye1314]

I never thought Vince was gonna be this creative when I first heard of him a couple years ago. He's definitely surprising me with his work.

[@AROD0720]

Have you never seen one of his music videos? He's a genius

[@Donut690]

"Ace hotel shoulda stayed at the SOHO"...damn. That's where Heath ledger died. This video all types of crazy.

[@sanfordson2551]

As a metal head, death metal at that, in the genre of rock music, I can say quite logically that Vince is the "death metal" of the rap genre. I hope you all get that reference.

[@urbzinzane]

You should check out $uicideboy$ and Ghostemane!

[@Lexpionage]

@@urbzinzane thats just emo rap mixed with memphis trap

[@simplyoiseau]

Awesome The Shining reference!

[@JT-oc8yt]

glad I wasn't the only one who noticed it too hahaha

[@GatorSwag420]

what's the reference?

[@simplyoiseau]

+Brandonwun if you have ever seen The Shining, you will see that the bar scene from the video, the carpet on the hotel, and almost everything from the hotel parts are some references to The Shining. So, keeping that in mind it will help you analyze the video, that is if you've seen The Shining

[@iflexx123]

+Alberto M. Garcia No just no

[@luishenriqueteske8410]

The last and the most real resort of a man to not give up: the art, This is pure gold, it might be scary or sad but is undeniable that comes from the deepest of the heart of this boy, I deeply hope that phrase: "Art saves" make it worth it, Indeed.

[@KingVinyls]

does the mirror at the end represent the same thing that was at the end of the senorita video

[@damiondelany6923]

Thats trippy

[@EarthEagleGT]

No I think it just represents himself and him shooting himself

[@Quan482]

I think so, It played a big part in the video. Senorita was about the ghetto being watched for entertainment despite them losing lives. This mirror represents the people who are always watching him as entertainment to see what he's doing at all times since he's more famous and we'll known now. He basically thinks that if he kills himself it will be nothing more than entertainment for those people because they don't understand he's a real person with real problems.

[@tankbusta5335]

I think he's telling a story. In Senorita, people were walking through the projects and dying as they walked, but Vince, the only one speaking up and showing his talent had a police body guard. The white people were enjoying their suffering but Vince stayed protected the whole time

[@BoneGangsta305]

this was probably the best music video i've seen in months. i like the occult vibes and social message. if you don't use your mind you lose it. and a lot of people are facing this obstacle through drugs, fame, sloth. i like that instantly you can gather multiple interpretations and the video/audio were well synced.

[@EnorldSame]

I DOn't care what anyone say, THIS IS STILL THE BEST vince Staples project ever!

[@daboycarswell]

If you play Prima Donna backwards you get this story of Vince killing himself at the end.

[@daboycarswell]

It's the story of him being fed up with life, the rap industry and a man fighting his own demons, his conscience and past with gang banging and it ends with him killing himself.

[@Kooliow12]

the beginning really sums it all up. But the beginning went so hard is that a actual song? I also noticed the lights in the elivator were going up, which means the vator was going down

[@tcrooks16]

good observation

[@AGQmusic]

All songs in the video are off his new EP. That one's called "Big Time".

[@talloncloud]

Also, the room key was a stage pass. Should tell you a lot about what he considers his hell and how to get in.

[@notbemon]

I love the path Vince took, the same goes to Earl, he's been killing it recently, these two were a little different from the other ones and took a big step outside of the Odd Future way. I still love OF, and Tyler and I listen alot to all the tapes, but this is some outstanding work. Bravo.

[@dyzzifromdivsel7975]

Nobody talks about this Vince album like that. To this day it’s prolly still my favorite project by him. & rewatching this makes me think back like this time may have been a bit difficult/dark for him.. & that this may even be his darkest project.. from the lyrics, video symbolism, and even the physicals covers of this album bein nooses.. Even looking at some of his interviews around this time it seemed like bro was either done with this shit or fed up. Idk could be completely wrong or overthinking but as a Vince fan, this project didn’t get as much love as it should’ve. & I’m glad bro seems to be in a way better headspace since..

[@dyzzifromdivsel7975]

[@claudinamoreau2076]

No foreal, I was hella scared we were gonna lose him but it was needed and relatable.

[@Mrforever34]

As a entertainer your in the spotlight 24/7 so that's why everyone was after him the clerk said " your set time is 12:30" even tho he's on vacation people still want him to work. In the elevator the girl goes after him without a convo like they were together before, you can hear is it real over and over he's asking him self is it real than she's gone and when he's in the room war ready plays when fans start knocking on his room probably means he was going shoot one of them idk but loco plays right after which is connected to the hotel than he kills himself and the video started with big time and ended with let it shine. BUT HEY THATS JUST A THEORY A MUISIC THEORY

[@shuriwitwicky6646]

You sir are correct

[@pabloramirez9902]

some sell their soul to have a crowd , some put soul in their art and hate the crowd for not having one. Good and evil is something hard to understand .. One of my freind commited collective suicide to kill his dad... He saved his mother, so he knew the world would be a better place. His father wanted a better world by doing so ... Its all about soul ... If youre at a no return point , and you have no choice other than selling your soul , you better show your soul one last time before leaving ... ( my freind showed me the demon in his dad right before telling me that today , theyll go for the ... first time I saw his dad talk to himself , holding his head cause we were speaking in tongues ... he learn me to do so since like 7-8 months ... )

The scene in the hotel hallway were Vince is walking and sees each deceased star in their room (Kurt Cobain, PAC, Hendrix and Amy Winehouse) was eery AS FUCK but spectacular lol... Added even more depth to the possible "meaning/message" of this video. Great visuals.

[@Mrgiant50]

[@ghostkiller427]

This song is dope man I love it y'all should look at that Indigo Misfit Spiritual Healing thats a chill one tho

[@sallywatts1818]

Heard that song the other day I liked it

[@unimpressedalchemist]

Couldn't at least make the spam make sense for the video?

[@rafaeldominguez4355]

the EP came out a while ago lol

[@BeatSelectionFromShy]

I would love see Vince and Kendrick or Cole do a track

[@diefantasy]

God no.

[@unlessitsmarco]

nope Vince do his own thing

[@jdntms]

Vince doesn't do features anymore. And if anyone wants a feature he charges like $5,000

[@Donut690]

Why every rapper that's on the come up just " have to do a track with K Dot or J cole" like no they honestly fucking don't. Just cuz they some big names don't mean errbody gotta do a song with em. Let them do they thing and let Vince do his.

[@julesbrown4854]

stop telling people what the fuck to do

[@djblackarmstrong]

Vince is in many ways the redeeming MC of todays youth. Much success to you young brotha! Speak your truth!

[@homeofpeachesandhoney8472]

This was so beautifully done i don't know how i slept on such an amazing artist

[@alfredovasquez2988]

Vince, you really got me with this one. You presented the idea so well and artistically, great job! You brought us into your world for a moment and remind us of the human being that spits these dope as lyrics over instrumentals.

[@CASSOBLVCK]

Dope

[@georgestevens2937]

Real shit homie

[@flyingraijinvince3428]

you are everywhere 😭😭😭

[@rawbroccoli5547]

+The Kid Vince lmfao I was thinking the same shit!! he was on zaywop interview

[@CASSOBLVCK]

***** 😂😂😂 thanks man

[@SuperXxSwaggaXx]

+BLVCK LORD shiii you can produce my mixtape your dope my g 👌🏽🔥

[@woody13xx]

I love he plays all parts of each song in the EP in the video, this is some real creative shit right here.

[@laurenwilliams8037]

nearly all his songs make me feel better about being what i am i feel as though he truly knows

[@michaelrodriques1068]

Is he saying that a part of himself died because of the industry?

[@sundaychiild]

for the most part i think that the concept of this film was that he's tryna get out of the industry thats why @ 2:07 hes says "i need a vacation" but when he tries i think it comes back around and its more work hence (set time 4:38), and from the hallway you can see all the greats that past, so he decided to kill himself, but idk im just stating my opinion from my perspective and what i saw :)

[@cMckone93]

I sure hope he finds a way to solve or cope with the issues he's having with the industry or whatever. It would be a shame to see another great talented artist go out early. I would be very sad :(

[@SusGod_]

go watch his interviews from rosenburg and the breakfast club and he talks a lot about whats going on in life rn and this video

[@abercrombieKID1000]

I feel like he can't get passed his depression and all this fame and attraction seems fake to him since they really don't care about him only what he brings. And the industry only uses people like puppets and all this feels surreal to him. He already knows how messed up society and the system is & it's pretty evil to him

[@SNEProductions]

he shoots himself and the end quote is him saying sometimes he feels like giving up. he got problems and sometimes almost cant stand it. speaks for itself.

[@giovannifighting9611]

I never lose hope in music cause that is still some good shit outta there man.

[@jdk-zh4dq]

This has to be thee most unique video I have personally seen in a while

[@Thanos-os4bn]

Vince staples need to blow up soon

[@hugocabrera2971]

this man is way too talented hes up there with the best rn he's just too Underated for some people this entire video felt like a Rollercoaster ride so many subliminals this right here is what I consider art hats off to vince 🔥🔥💯💯

[@RemmyGold416]

Inspiring, quality product and truly powerful. Thank u for this art guys.

[@johntrains1317]

Still one of the best music videos I've ever seen

[@briana656]

I still listen to this every night. Thank you.
