"You're worse than her because she shared her opinion. "But when you have people who are able to, you know, just write people off as if they don't have an opinion or feelings or motives behind the things they say, that's the corny part," he said. Which, frankly, is something that can be applied to a lot of content on the internet. So it was kind of a little bit harder."įrom there, he made it clear that people writing her off without even thinking about her opinion were worse than she is. The difference is it wasn't on the radio - it was in our house, and it was outside, and it was at our schools, and it was at our churches, it was everywhere that we were. YouTube user Twoevils Lesser went viral this week with a video hosted on their channel in which a Christian mother rants about Vince Staples s song 'Norf Norf.' The unnamed woman ends up in tears. "'Cause I'm 100 percent sure my mother would have loved for her children to not be exposed to gang life. "It's pathetic to attack someone for having an opinion or feeling some type of way, for wanting her children to not be exposed to something," he said. He also explained why he didn't join the massive volume of people ganging up on her.
You got a reaction - isn't that the point, essentially?" So I don't have a problem with what she said. So I didn't make that song for it to make people happy.
Know what I'm saying? But it doesn't necessarily happen in that sense when we're speaking about music.
"My question is, why can we listen to that and pass it off like it's not a problem? When you see a film and you see a murder scene or a rape scene or something that's displaying an element of trauma, we don't look at it and go, "This movie's f****** great, I'm having a great time, are you?" We feel for that. Norf Norf is a song recorded by American rapper Vince Staples for his debut double studio album, Summertime 06. That's what the song is about: what our children are being exposed to. But what she said, "this is what our children are being exposed to"? She's right. "I don't really care what's on the radio because the radio's kind of secondary to how we consume music in today's day and age. Obviously the interviewer followed up by asking what she was right about, which drew a (much) longer response from Staples. Asked about the six-month old footage, and particularly his defense of her, Staples said, "She was right." At least, according to an NPR interview that was published on Sunday afternoon. Stop asking me.Well, as it turns out, he still has a few more things to say about it. This misunderstanding of our community leads to miscommunication which we should convert into a progressive dialogue. No person needs to be attacked for their opinion on what they see to be appropriate for their children. With both those things being said, she has a right to her opinion. She also, in my opinion, seems to be emotionally unstable.
What I was saying was that the woman in that video is clearly confused on the context of the song which causes her to be frightened. Thank you to Justin Carissimo for the misquote. Read the tweets, watch the reaction and revisit Staples’ bracing ‘Norf Norf’ below. “This misunderstanding of our community leads to miscommunication which we should convert into a progressive dialogue,” he said. He then defends her right to an opinion and to be concerned about what her child listens to. Staples says the woman is “clearly confused on the context of the song which causes her to be frightened”, and “in my opinion, seems to be emotionally unstable”. Staples originally commented on the video in an interview with the Independent where he says he was misquoted. The video spawned much commentary (and ridicule), but now Staples has addressed it on Twitter defending the woman’s “opinion on what they see to be appropriate for their children”. “We wonder why this society is so messed up - listen to the music,” she says after tearfully reading Staples’ lyrics. Vince Staples became the subject of a viral video this week when an extremely upset mother described her experience hearing ‘Norf Norf’ on the radio while driving in the car with her daughter. The rapper addresses the upset mother who’s disturbed reaction video has gone viral.
