DON'T LOOK BACK IN ANGER : THE ALBUMS, 2017.


21/vince staples/big fish theory

This joint right here is that gospel from a street disciple. Little over a half hour of Vince coming correct with the heat. That, "CLICK CLACK CLAP!" and that "BOOP BOP BAM!". Big Fish Theory is an album wide presentation of that fire and a declaration of what's good and what it is from a keen observer of the real. Big Fish Theory is poetry. Big Fish Theory is gangsta. Big Fish Theory is Hip-Hop unrestrained. Big Fish Theory is art. Like the man on the mount himself, the album is nuanced and multi-faceted, and "on a new level". It is "too cultured and too ghetto", from someone who commands your attention cause he (like we) is on now. And he's just getting started. He should have been dead broke, and he should have been chalked out, but it didn't happen, so press play, "get it cracking", "go stupid", and just, as he recommends, "lose yourself in the music".
