Vince Staples - Vince Staples & Ramona Park Broke My Heart (2021) Album • Page 23

I just got Mickey rip off shirt in the mail today excited to wear that

 

I've barely gone back to this album, I really need to fix that

 

I tried circling back around to it after some time had passed and it really still wasn’t standing out to me. Totally get the ~vibe aspect people like about this but it’s not really enough to carry the record imo. It’s all just kinda there

 

Same here, wish I liked this more than I do. It’s got a handful of good songs but blends together. His first miss for me.

 

when sparks fly was my only real takeaway from this, i continue to wish i could connect with his stuff the way i used to

 

His first miss for me as well. Too bad because I like the idea of an introspective, vulnerable, lyrical record from him--the delivery was just so boring for me.

 

I like it better than self titled, but I rarely come back to either one

 

lol my shirt came to my town and then for some reason it got sent to Memphis and now it’s being sent back to me

 

Oh I love the self-titled. I thought it was a perfect lean rap album.

 

Yeah, after spending time with both ST is superior IMO. I loved RPBMH but it didn't have the staying power for me that S/T did/does.

 

maybe it’s because I didn’t become a huge Vince fan till later but Ramona Park + self-titled are my favorite of his albums by far.

I think I just really like the lower voice mellow delivery that others find boring…like on songs like East Point Prayer he’s super subdued but it works for me because it makes the hard shit he’s describing sound emotionally draining/ numbing. It seems intentional rather than a sign of laziness or anything. Totally get how others don’t vibe with it tho

 

All Vince is essential Vince

 

speaking facts

 

His streak of projects from 2013 to 2017 is absolutely insane

Stolen Youth
Shyne Coldchain II
Hell Can Wait
Summertime 06
Prima Donna
Big Fish Theory

All A+ albums. Starting with FM I haven't been quite as into them

 

Even if I personally haven’t been into his latest projects (really like them though), Vince has earned a hall pass for the rest of his career based on his past output

 

That’s sick as hell and I’m jealous

 

Also, Vince’s feature on Tyler The Creator’s “Stuntman” is fantastic.

 

Vince liking The Garden is fantastic.

 

What's the garden, enlighten me

 

Twin punk/electronic/hip-hop influenced duo. Their music varies wildly from track to track, but they’re very good and a killer live show.

 

wait is there two different the garden because I remember Tyler shouting out the garden in 2017

 

Nope. Same band. I guess Tyler samples them on one of his songs.

 

for some reason I always thought the garden was like this obscure indie band
