On this episode of Everything You Need To Know, FADER cover star Vince Staples stopped by the office to delight us with his classic wit and some facts about himself. He riffs on choosing hamburgers over vegan food, and why he loves Yelp. Check out the video to see Staples talk about the best thing to buy from the Los Angeles City Swap Meet, why he’s not a Chris Paul fan, and how he feels when people ask him what he thinks about Joy Division.
Ty Dolla $ign came to The FADER offices and shared a few fun bits about himself. He’s unabashed about his affinity for marijuana but here he makes it clear that it’s a habit that’s not to be confused with laziness. He told us that despite blazing through an ounces of kush, he works out frequently and is committed to eating healthy foods and vegetables. Check out the video above where Ty also talks about how he got bass lessons from a music legend, his favorite Olympic sport, and being a bonafide punk fan.
In his music, Schoolboy Q leans more than a bit dark. Some of his beats could comfortably soundtrack your more hyper nightmares; his hedonism almost always comes with a bit of curdled excess. In the latest edition of our Everything You Need To Know Series, our man Q breaks down everything from his baseball team allegiance to his video-game trash-talking techniques to his childhood love of goofy baggy pants.
