Equating his music post BFT to McDonald’s burgers is pretty accurate

Why? They didn’t say best they said favorite I don’t think that’s crazy to ask about

A hoe ass question to ask an artist what their favorite song they made is ? What

"What's the best Vince Staples song?" and then he switched to favorite after. Either way, I don't think it's a fair question to ask - interviewers aren't asking Drake, Kendrick, Kanye to single out one of their songs over all the others and they'll have to deal with people being upset at them no matter what they pick

Depending on how seriously the artist takes their craft, it can be seen similarly to asking a parent to pick their favorite child. That's just a stupid question to ask

Niggas just be guzzling it lmao

Kanye West named his song "Fried" from the album Vultures 2 as his favorite song of his own in a 2024 video when asked by his son, Saint West.
In earlier interviews, Kanye frequently cited Can't Tell Me Nothing from Graduation as his favorite because its message served as a constant personal motivation.

While naming favorite tracks, he has also stated that 808s & Heartbreak is his favorite overall album of his discography. Would you like to know more about how Vince Staples is a b**** ass fake pretentious ass nigga? #RapsAI

No Diddy, it's always that deep

I don't hold an 8 year old asking his dad a question to the same standard as someone trying to interview artists in a journalistic capacity

reddit.com/r/GoodAssSub/comments/1firil7/ye_says_that_fried_is_his_favorite_song_ever_on
He didn't even say Fried, some kid in the background says it first and he just agrees unenthusiastically "let's go Fried, yeah". This nigga is clearly tired and agreeing with whatever his kids are saying so he can get some sleep

And even with all this context, you can see exactly why it's a hoe ass question:
The choice of “Fried” raised eyebrows among his fans, many of whom expected a more iconic pick from his extensive discography. One fan reacted on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “My goat doesn’t know his own discography crying face emojis,” while another wrote, “Son couldn’t believe his father chose the worst f—ing song ever skull emoji.” Another fan joked, “I think bro might’ve been Fried giving that answer.”

#RapsAICanSuckMyDick

But what about his real non nitrous N*zi era answer that he said for years Can't Tell Me Nothing lol #RapsAIDoesNotEngageInDiddyisms

Ima need sources of him being asked that in interviews but that doesn't change the fact that it's a wack question. I just pointed out the reaction when an artist answers that question

And you're the third user now who's tried to reframe the question. "What's the best song you've made?" is not the same thing as asking an artist "What's your favorite song you've made?". Vince gave his answer after the interviewer asked him the first question

3 min mark. He also said it was his best in the Tucker Carlson interview

Kendrick has said fear has the best verses he ever written and these walls is his favorite track on TPAB

Cole has said Love Yourz is his favorite and best song of his

Drake said feel no ways and fire and desire are some of his favorites

And artists name the albums they consider their favorite or best all the time. Its a very regular question to ask an artist man

The Kanye clip you posted, the interviewer asked his favorite

Kendrick saying a song is his best written or picking his favorite song off a project is not the same thing as asking an artist the best song in their whole discography

I'm not gonna engage with the Cole/Drake ones. I'll need to see the questions and answers because you niggas are acting like all these interviewers are asking these artists the same question when they're not

I understand if Vince felt like "That's a dumb question, I'll give him a troll answer" That's why I said his reaction to the criticism for his answer confuses me

I just look at it more as a “hey which song do you like the most and maybe talk about why” I mean tbh he could’ve just left it as it and not crashed out about it

Damn if that is crashing out....

Favorite/means the most to you is a better way to convey that meaning. It's a small distinction, but there is a difference

I can see an artist being offended by being asked what their best work is because answering that might lowkey feel like it undermines their other work

I know my evil twin be ready to crash at the drop of a dime

First two tweets are calm JPEGMAFIA vibes. But the last one is all that really needed to be said.

I can't see no issue with homie saying he doesn't have a favorite song of his own. Maybe it's not something he typically ponders on, and he didn't wanna just say anything on the spot like others might try to. I guess niggas didn't love the a***ogy he used, and it wasn't even really necessary but, so be it lol

You're splitting hairs here lol. There's not a world of difference between best/favorite. And discography or not he still singled a song out to highlight it which is the point of those questions

What do you say to all the artist who rank their albums

Sir I'm a nigga, I don't be crashing out. I just return energy given to me

But imo crashing out means there's there's no logical reason to do so. I think that term be used against niggas in a condescending manner which allows said person to be disrespected without retaliation. Turning the other cheek is one way to handle a situation, just like returning energy

You kinda spitting though

If there wasn't a difference, you'd be able to find more examples of interviewers asking the question Vince was asked. The interviewers themselves know it's not the same thing, that's why the question is "What's your favorite song?" not "What's your best song?"

Asking an artist to pick their favorite song out of +/-15 tracks off an album they likely just released and are there to promote vs 1 out of 100+ songs is not the same thing

I'd understand if an artist was asked to rank their discography during an interview and thought the question was wack/didn't want to answer

One last coherent message before I revert, my Grandma showed me anger is resolve when justified. Meaning no evocation shakes a solid foundation

The fact that ye said can't tell me nothing for both his best and favorite song on 2 separate occasion is my point. I'm sure you can find tons of example of artists saying what they think their best/favorite song is even outside of rap.

I just disagree with the idea that asking a personal opinion about their catalog is a "hoe ass question or disrespectful
