Hasan Minhaj and Vince Staples Have an Epic Conversation | GQ

[mattsaracen]

I swear Vince is the dominant force in any conversation he has. He is so sure of himself and comfortable. Never people pleasing or wavering.

[Donmo]

Everytime Vince comes out the shadows he does nothing but drop dimes on us.

"No is one's special, and no one being special allows everyone to be significant" that really caught me off-guard, I really forgot how wise this man is. This is a new mantra for me.

"If the wrong person likes the right thing, it can f*ck your life up." - Vince Staples
The most prolific statement in this interview. This speaks directly to being on the hamster wheel of life and catering to those who don't align with you.

[smashbro]

Id listen to vince talk to a plant for half an hour idfk

[ColinandSamir]

10:27 "It's more important to listen to people than it is to listen to music" -Vince

Glad to see Hasan is still doing well! His show didn't deserve to be cancelled, but he's taking it on the chin.

And speaking of chin: I'm already weirded out seeing Hasan without a beard!

[jeevansandher]

didn't ask for this, but I'm grateful

[FootballGuy]

"Everybody is normal. No one is special. No one being special, allows everyone to be significant" Bruh... Vince is really one of the most profound people in music. His thinking is next level but it just sounds so regular to him. Easily one of my favorite people to hear speak.

[jynene]

Vince saying he's a bright bubbly person gives the same energy as "I'm a fun guy"

[RyanM]

I see a lot of Vince praise and rightfully so. He’s a very smart, well-spoken person. But I just wanna toss some praise on Hasan for guiding the conversation and allowing Vince to talk as much as he needs to get his points across. That’s a very tough skill in itself

[push]

It's hard to believe that they're in the same multiverse

[tyinkwell]

“ give me the coffee you give the truck drivers, because their lives are on the line “-Vince 😂💯

[brendanlittle]

Feel like Vince Staple was a lot more open than I expected in this interview.

[wizrd]

Vince is very wise, seems like each year his viewpoint on the world grows less nihilistic and more complex. He really should do a podcast!

[Teezydiddat]

Vince staples popped out w da fresh fade I smell an album otw

[Lynwood_Jackson]

GQ has some of the best random content. Nobody asked for this, but they knew we needed it.

[lanchez]

If I see Vince staples speaking imma click simple as that

[justaliciaaa]

"I love the kids, man. Shout-out to all the kids" 😭😭😭😭😭

[bonthanroeun]

Vince is very underrated . He does great interviews all the time.
