In the premiere episode of The Vince Staples Show, a satirical Netflix series that stars Vince Staples as a semi-fictionalized version of himself, life as a recognizable but not ultra-famous or filthy rich rapper is nothing but a hassle. A speeding violation spirals into a day tossed in jail, where he has run-ins with a motor mouthed con who really (really) wants a verse and a guy who wants to stab him solely because he grew up in an area of Long Beach he doesn’t mess with—not to mention inattentive phone conversations with family members unsympathetic to his misfortune. As is the norm with the real Staples, he has this deadpan way of speaking that is constantly misinterpreted. His jokes are taken literally and his earnest statements are mistaken for jokes.
