With the critically acclaimed rapper Vince Staples, known for sharpened lyrics and witticisms, shifting his musical scene to in front of his new show on Netflix, called The Vince Staples Show – a new comedy hit that mixes real-life scenarios with fiction-based ones; he will hence give modern sitcoms a fresh take.
Long Beach rapper Vince Staples has always been more than a rapper. Candid interviews loaded with just the right amount of dry humor and keen social commentary have long suggested he could do very well in other forms of media, and Netflix apparently agreed, partnering with him to do just that to create a show that captures his personality while offering viewers a comedic narrative.
This is sort of a semi-autobiographical series that says Vince Staples is going through ups and downs in his daily life. Vince Staples focuses humor with common, everyday situations. Instead of the usual pattern of a rapper-turned-actor as portrayed for a fictional character, Staples stars as himself, allowing him to stay real and push the limits on comedy.
Authenticity defines the show. It would appear to give an honest look at Vince’s life from his Long Beach youth through to trying to navigate the music industry and the pressures of fame. As opposed to glamorizing his lifestyle, the show does a perfect job of poking fun at the absurdity and obstacles Staples endures; too often with a humorously self-deprecating sort of jest that makes the rapper more human and relatable. His family life, friendships, and his relationship with the community also provide exposure to his personal view regarding life.
Beyond the sarcasm, The Vince Staples Show tackles big issues: race and fame, trying to dig into inward complications that tend to define identity. It is not exactly a usual sitcom, though Staples himself has not been shy to let his voice out for social causes.
The keen writing, strong performances, and undeniable Vince Staples charisma all make up a very delightful Netflix series in The Vince Staples Show. Out of the pack of celebrity comedies, it stands out by presenting that Staples’ talents go very far beyond rap.
