Vince Staples, who’s well known for his impact in the music industry, has now widened his footprint in the TV sphere with a show. In Febuary 2024 The Vince Staples Show was released on Netflix. The first trailer effectively showcased the vibe for the series and, like us, many felt and hoped that it would take cues from Donald Glover’s Atlanta. Staples is well aware of the comparisons between the two programs and discussed his feelings about them with CinemaBlend. He also shed some light on his personal relationship with Glover.
As is the case with so many of us, Vince Staples is someone who appreciates fine art. So it should come as no surprise that he’s seen the work that Donald Glover and his collaborators accomplished with their music-centric dramedy on FX. We was fortunate enough to speak with Staples during the press day for his new series. What we were delighted to hear is that not only is he acquainted with Glover, but he also received encouragement from him while working on his production over at Netflix.

00:00 I love this show and one of the things I really loved about it is that it's very reminiscent of Atlanta,
00:04 which is a show that I was a fan of and I believe watching interviews with you that you've seen as well.
00:08 I was curious, was there any specific way that you were inspired by what Donald Glover and his team did on that show?
00:13 Yeah, I feel like
00:16 we're in a point in time where there are a lot of things
00:19 hitting the airwaves coming from our voices that are allowing you to know that it's possible.
00:25 Donald being a friend of mine, he was very
00:28 adamant on me doing the show and just kind of
00:30 making a version of something that hasn't been seen before and I feel like we've done something that was extremely
00:36 unique and even being compared to that show even from like the trailer and things of that nature,
00:41 that's a very very successful work of art.
00:43 So it's a very very good starting point and I feel like when people watch the show
00:47 they'll be able to see just how different they are while still being of the same vein based on, you know,
00:52 the steps that they took previously and I'm just grateful to be able to kind of benefit from the hard work that they did.
