The Vince Staples Show is a guilty pleasure for hip-hop fans that will have you chuckling. The five-episode series is reminiscent of Prince of Bel Air — except with a focus on the music scene. In the series, Rapper Vince Staples plays himself, but we’re not entirely sure where to draw the line between which events are fictitious and which are based on actual experiences.
Set in a twisted version of Long Beach, California, dubbed “The Beach,” the show follows Staples as he navigates the challenges of relationships, confronts his past, and grapples with the complexities of family dynamics, all while juggling the demands of a burgeoning music career.
Staples, known for his dry wit and sharp humor, brings to life a world filled with offbeat scenarios and unexpected twists. From surprise bank robberies to tense family gatherings, each episode offers a fresh perspective on Staples’ journey.
The series is a testament to Staples’ talent and creativity, providing a captivating showcase of his unique comedic style. There are mixed feelings where some news outlets praise the short series for its “ ludicrously suave ” humor while others think it “ lacks the ingenuity and grit needed to hold … audience’s attention until the end.”
WHERE TO WATCH- You can watch the series on Netflix or check out the trailer (watch,runtime: 1:17).
