Vince Staples joined Snoh Aalegra in the video for “Nothing Burns Like The Cold”earlier this week and now he puts his own spin on YBN Nahmir’s popular song “Rubbin Off The Paint.”
Cruising over the beat, Staples spits what might just be his most unrepentantly menacing verse in recent memory. The ambivalence and progressivism that permeates his last two projects, Prima Donna and Big Fish Theory, can’t be found on his new freestyle that’s as casually vicious as tracks on Summertime ’06.
On the track, Staples gets back to his North Side Long Beach roots by planning to catch a body. “Know you know it but I gotta say it baby, I’m from Poppy/If you hold it then you gotta spray it, baby don’t be sloppy/If I catch you with your four hoe, we killin’ everybody/Kill your pappy, kill your mommy, kill your second-cousin Connie,” he spits on the track.
