Ahead of his fall tour<\/a>, Vince Staples<\/a> stopped by NPR\u2019s Washington D.C. headquarters to perform five cuts off his abrasive new rock-inspired album, which delves into our country\u2019s continued disenfranchisement of Black Americans. During a live take of \u201cGo! Go! Gorilla\u201d Staples took a moment to shout out deceased Black Panther members killed by law enforcement, including Bobby Hutton, George Jackson, and Larry Kimmons. You can watch the full performance below.<\/p>\n Later in the set, Staples recalled a conversation he had before filming the explosive music video<\/a> for lead album single \u201cBlackberry Marmalade.\u201d \u201cOne of my homies\u2026was nervous about putting out that video,\u201d said Staples. \u201cHe was like, \u2018Hey man, we can\u2019t shoot a bunch of Black people in a restaurant and shit, that\u2019s going to go over poorly.\u2019 I was like, \u2018I guarantee you when we put out the second video<\/a> where we painted the flag a little bit, they are going to be way more upset about that.\u201d<\/p>\n Revisit Mankaprr Conteh\u2019s review of Staples\u2019 Cry Baby<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
