Vince Staples is probably one of the most rational voices in hip-hop. Steering clear of any meaningless feuds or drama, the North Long Beach rapper keeps a remarkably level head. It's no wonder, then, that his recent tweet-storm about people's opinions on Young Thug's wardrobe choices (among other things) offer some much-needed perspective. Staples took what he called "fake hip-hop heads" to task for their archaic views on a number of progressive ideas. Read Staples' tweets below and read his F98 feature here.
