VINCE: My homies have known me my whole life, so they will try to tell me where my shortcomings are, from a fan’s standpoint. But I got to the point where I was like, “That’s okay, I don’t mind it.”
FOWLER: What shortcomings are they talking about?
STAPLES: There’s a disconnect. I might not be regarded as a great musician or a lyricist. I’m a dude that just does different things, and I’m interesting and funny.
FOWLER: Do you feel like now that you’ve been in the game a bit, that you’re ready to mentor and take on young artists?
STAPLES: I don’t think I’ll ever do that, to be honest. Because I don’t know anything about music, bro. I just know how to do me. If you’re taking something from somebody, you have to know how to get them to the top level. And I personally haven’t reached the top level, in my opinion. I’m not Drake. Drake should be doing that. But if anybody ever wants my opinion on something, I’ll share that. All you got to do is ask, because I don’t believe in hogging information.
