While at the Converse Weapon relaunch, we sat down with Vince Staples to continue our conversation from this year's SXSW. During that discussion, Vince mentioned how recent life changes were affecting his music and beginning to shift the subject matter from its grim foundation. When we caught up this time, he spoke on his current focus with making music but also states that he's looking towards a future that doesn't include him rapping. In fact, Vince thinks rapping past 40 is actually pretty corny—unless you're Kanye or Jay-Z.

So what does a middle-aged Vinny Stapes look like? You'll have to check out the interview to find out.
