00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:01.860
- Hi, I'm Vince Staples here with AV Club.

2
00:00:01.860 --> 00:00:03.210
Make sure to check out the Vince Staples

3
00:00:03.210 --> 00:00:04.350
Show on Netflix right now.

4
00:00:04.350 --> 00:00:06.690
The Vince Staples Show
is about everyday life

5
00:00:06.690 --> 00:00:08.010
and how it affects us and the people

6
00:00:08.010 --> 00:00:09.840
around us based on our perspective.

7
00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:11.910
A lot of people might think
that the Vince Staples show is

8
00:00:11.910 --> 00:00:14.940
just about me and my rise to fame,

9
00:00:14.940 --> 00:00:15.990
or whatever you want to call it,

10
00:00:15.990 --> 00:00:17.705
but it's really about the perspective

11
00:00:17.705 --> 00:00:19.505
and how I see the world around me

12
00:00:19.505 --> 00:00:21.870
and how I see people seeing other people,

13
00:00:21.870 --> 00:00:24.090
and we're we, I just happen
to be a character in the show.

14
00:00:24.090 --> 00:00:25.440
But yeah, it's about the world around us

15
00:00:25.440 --> 00:00:27.600
and how every day something
ridiculous could happen

16
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.030
that might seem crazy
to the world around us,

17
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:31.950
but inside the bubble,
it's just another day.

18
00:00:31.950 --> 00:00:34.470
The role that music plays in
the show is, is very integrity,

19
00:00:34.470 --> 00:00:36.395
even though it might not be
Vince's music, like we try

20
00:00:36.395 --> 00:00:38.010
to keep everything di because it's a day

21
00:00:38.010 --> 00:00:39.120
of the in the life type story.

22
00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:42.240
So we have some bigger scenes
that will have score to them,

23
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.970
but it's really just about
how people digest music

24
00:00:44.970 --> 00:00:46.110
and sound in general.

25
00:00:46.110 --> 00:00:48.240
Like when you think about day-to-Day life,

26
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:49.590
how often do you hear music if

27
00:00:49.590 --> 00:00:50.610
you're not playing it yourself?

28
00:00:50.610 --> 00:00:53.490
Is it a car passing by? Is it
something distant in a room?

29
00:00:53.490 --> 00:00:55.350
What is it? What ambiance is it creating?

30
00:00:55.350 --> 00:00:57.780
Like we have a theme
park episode where the,

31
00:00:57.780 --> 00:01:00.030
the music in the theme park kind of bends

32
00:01:00.030 --> 00:01:01.680
to the experience that we're having.

33
00:01:01.680 --> 00:01:06.660
And I feel like Vince's
music is a talking point

34
00:01:06.660 --> 00:01:09.510
for people who know who
Vince is as an artist.

35
00:01:09.510 --> 00:01:12.450
You know, we have these
humongous egos thinking that,

36
00:01:12.450 --> 00:01:13.800
you know, we're the
biggest thing in the world,

37
00:01:13.800 --> 00:01:16.170
and that's not always true,
especially in my case,

38
00:01:16.170 --> 00:01:18.450
being a smaller artist,
there aren't that many people

39
00:01:18.450 --> 00:01:20.820
who know my music or know who I even am.

40
00:01:20.820 --> 00:01:23.435
So it's always interesting
in real life to see people,

41
00:01:23.435 --> 00:01:24.935
like say you have two people
on the street writing,

42
00:01:24.935 --> 00:01:26.640
one person's like, oh,
do you know who this is?

43
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:28.650
That's always awkward. It's
always a weird conversation.

44
00:01:28.650 --> 00:01:30.750
You don't want a picture. Like,
it's a lot of that as well.

45
00:01:30.750 --> 00:01:33.630
So it just kind of poking fun
at like the, the, the idea

46
00:01:33.630 --> 00:01:36.660
of fame, and that's kind of
how we use music in the show.

47
00:01:36.660 --> 00:01:39.120
I would love to bring Maurice
back to Abbott Elementary.

48
00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:40.860
You know, being a mailman is important

49
00:01:40.860 --> 00:01:43.740
to the school ecosystem,
to a city's ecosystem.

50
00:01:43.740 --> 00:01:45.990
So I feel like Maurice is still
on Avid every time you see a

51
00:01:45.990 --> 00:01:48.725
package, every time something
gets delivered, it's the ghost

52
00:01:48.725 --> 00:01:51.330
of Maurice walking through the
halls of Abbott Elementary.

53
00:01:51.330 --> 00:01:54.210
So, yeah, hopefully one day,
you know, I might be able

54
00:01:54.210 --> 00:01:56.160
to be brought back for a small cameo,

55
00:01:56.160 --> 00:01:59.730
but I'm just so appreciative
of Quinta's opportunity

56
00:01:59.730 --> 00:02:02.225
that she gave me, and also the
knowledge she just gave me on

57
00:02:02.225 --> 00:02:04.260
how to just orchestrate
a show and run a set

58
00:02:04.260 --> 00:02:07.165
and be a real producer, actor,
writer, like, you know, I,

59
00:02:07.165 --> 00:02:09.210
I just love her to death,
like, she's like my family.

60
00:02:09.210 --> 00:02:11.430
So I just really appreciate
even being there.

61
00:02:11.430 --> 00:02:12.840
If it was one episode or

62
00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:15.030
however many like episodes I end up having

63
00:02:15.030 --> 00:02:17.220
or would've had, it
was a great experience,

64
00:02:17.220 --> 00:02:20.340
I would probably have to
say as a kid, meaning Snoopy

65
00:02:21.570 --> 00:02:23.400
ad Knots Berry Farm was a big deal.

66
00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:25.560
We have a family image with Snoopy,

67
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:27.780
and then we have another one
that I wasn't in with Snoopy,

68
00:02:27.780 --> 00:02:31.200
and they lost my Snoopy picture of course,

69
00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:33.930
but Snoopy was a big one
for me as I got older.

70
00:02:33.930 --> 00:02:36.120
I, I'm, I'm honestly never
really been starstruck, just kind

71
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:37.320
of appreciate people for their art.

72
00:02:37.320 --> 00:02:39.690
So it's like, it's more so
curious about questions.

73
00:02:39.690 --> 00:02:42.780
But Snoopy, that threw me
Fort Loop, that was a big one.
