    Like vince pointed out (but in long form), a burger flipper’s pay is at least consistent.

    A freelance working musician is inconsistent. Sometimes you land 1 or 2 wedding gigs that can cover rent for a month and sometimes you dont get a single call for 3 weeks just cause “the season is slow”

    I appreciate the input

    But applying Vince's points & world view to freelance musicians doesn't really make sense

    In the same way he's wrong for comparing his job to a McDonald's workers
    A big corporate 🤢 sponsored musician ain't viewing his job the same way as a freelance musician does

  • Poolboy Q

    “Freelance musician” is a side hustle not a full time job

    I ain't wanna be the one to say it like bro it's not gonna be that much demand for live music especially in a non major city

  • insertcoolnamehere

    then why would anyone try to join an industry that is already notoriously oversaturated with other musicians?

    cause we the only business you can excel without a diploma - Joe Budden, "who killed hip hop"

    Not even remotely true.

  • notmyfirst

    I always feel like he’s posturing when he says this bc in his rap radar interview he was super serious for most of it and really broke down how you cannot make it in music if you don’t make it all of your life and love it on some level

    Yeah he just leaned way too hard into this contrarian s***

  • Are we still that far behind that we think going to college and getting a diploma is a good idea when trade jobs are clearly what’s the best move forward.

  • Teejayx6

    This person in a thread some years ago summed him up perfectly

    I think Vince is genuinely funny and smart but also would probably be annoying to talk to
    He seems like if you drank water out the tap in front of him he’d be like “niggas drinking tap water but wanna have political opinions…” like what
    But if you said you didnt drink tap water he’d be like “nigga too good for tap water but wanna talk hip hop”
    Like u cant win with him lmao

    ehh i feel like vince is just like this in regards to rap

    James Blake is independent
    Chance The Rapper, Brent, etc etc
    Macklemore at his peak was technically

    He used to be signed & has maintained his status, his manager/business partner is still a long term industry dude, he's got/had deals with Sprite, Converse, Beats, CK, Jordan, he had a Netflix show

    Independent but 'integrated' ain't the same as regular independent or even Open Mike Eagle independent or something, he's made millions & been touring decent sized venues & fests for over a decade

    Respectfully fam

    I always ask restaurant workers what their favorite item on the menu is when I need to figure out what to get. He’s so out of touch lolol

  • Benny Boy

  • MBA Playboy

    I think what he means is do fastfood workers have a specific burger theyve made that is their favorite they made

    Not if its their favorite to eat

  • Jim Halpert

    Vince’s nonchalant shtick is wearing

    its not a shtick if he’s always been like this lol

    Like it's so obvious he was being a bit tongue in cheek here cmon dude is this your first Vince interview?

    Obviously it's not worth talking Vince seriously, even when he's being serious

    Although the resultant discussion ain't too bad tbf
    He's mentioned seeing this primarily as a way to make money for years
    Could argue that's why sometimes his music feels a bit rigid at times at points through his large discography
    Maybe he approaches his music like a person trying to do his job in music very very well, rather than as a 'passionate musician'

    Who knows though
