Since cementing his place in the music industry over a decade ago, the 30-year-old has proven himself as a Renaissance man, having conquered the worlds of television, fashion and even comics with a signature nonchalant swag. <\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>His newest venture, <em>The Vince Staples Show<\/em>, streaming now on Netflix, is another feat he can add to his impressive repertoire. The series, which was green-lit a few years ago but  put on pause due to the pandemic, features Vince in many roles: protagonist, antagonist, narrator, hero. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had a lot of meetings and one of our producers was like, \u2018I just want people to like Vince,\u2019 and I was like, why?\u201d he tells <em>PAPER<\/em>. \u201cWe don\u2019t know how people are gonna view us, we\u2019re just living, and then we deal with it after the fact. So I wanted to leave space for Vince to be either the hero or the villain, depending on how you view things.\u201d<span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"rm-shortcode\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"f79a0b008121bfdf96d45ff0a4ae4c67\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%\"><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Vince Staples Show | Official Trailer | Netflix\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lyg01lUOvm0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>The show itself is a hybrid, like a live-action version of a throwback cartoon or old-school sitcom \u2014 think <em>TV Land <\/em>and <em>Fresh Prince of Bel-Air <\/em>vibes. Staples says it was inspired by weekends consuming media with his grandparents as a kid, glued to the TV watching shows like <em>M*A*S*H<\/em>, <em>I Love Lucy<\/em>, <em>The Simpsons<\/em>, and <em>Reno 911<\/em>. \u201cI think everything you digest as a kid helps dictate how you view things later on in life,&#8221; he says.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>His range of influences is felt in the show, manifesting in a self-aware script that sees Staples being thrust into an array of wacky situations and having to wiggle his way out of them. He gets pulled over for making a U-turn on the street in his hometown of Long Beach, California. He gets thrown in jail and served a sandwich topped with a Draw Two Uno card. At times hallucinatory and satirical, it\u2019s an interesting reflection of the rapper\u2019s inner workings and a commentary on modern-day fame itself.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou could run down the street with a megaphone and ask people who Vince Staples is, and they wouldn\u2019t know,\u201d he says. A humble comment \u2014 but at the rate the artist is putting out compelling work like this, one that will surely prove false sooner rather than later. <\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><em>Photography: Erik Carter<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At this point, Vince Staples is just completing side quests.
