Vince Staples recalls some of the more violent events of his Long Beach upbringing, as evidenced by some of the harsh tales on his Hell Can Wait EP, he understands that there’s more to life than gang banging and repping for dead homies. He knows his history too, as he’s able to explain how a place like South Central got it’s name. Plus he’s keenly aware of the stereotypes of “the hood” and how rappers make it seem like their hometowns are battleground akin to Fallujah. So when Vince gave us a tour of his neighborhood in Long Beach, he didn’t want to just show off spots where people got killed (though he did show us that) but also places that had warm memories.

Our day starts off at his grandmother’s house, which is technically in Compton, as he recalls how his grandfather strived to own his own property. Afterwards, we head to a house he family lived in before it was taken away but still had fun times in. We also visited the spot where one of his homeboys was recently killed, as Vince recalls how his life became more dramatic in the summer of 2006 which is why his upcoming debut album is titled, Summertime ’06. We hit Ramona Park with his crew where Vince remembered the good times playing baseball but also spoke on the lack of opportunity in his community. And finally, we hit up producer Chuck Wun’s house, the spot where Vince’s music career began as he reflected on why he doesn’t want to just up and leave his neighborhood.

Imagine: Vince Staples in the sun and a floppy hat.

Imagine: Vince Staples wearing plaid and hiking through a dense forest. He is living the quiet, self-reflective life of a lumberjack as he tries to find himself in the wilds of the mountain he calls home.

Imagine: Vince Staples eating chocolate chip cookies fresh from the oven. He gets gooey chocolate on his fingers, but he doesn’t mind.

Imagine: Vince Staples is the star of his high school track team. His 100m relay time is the best in the nation. He wears a sweatband to keep his vision clear as he sprints towards his goals. He is the ideal student-athlete.

Imagine: Earl Sweatshirt has released a new song that Vince is really excited to listen to. He puts his earbuds in and hits play. He bobs his head along to the beat. It’s a good song. He smiles.

Imagine: It’s a hot day in Los Angeles. Vince is sitting on his porch in the shade, fanning himself with a massive wad of $100 bills. He waves to the neighbors when they walk by. Every now and then he takes a sip of an ice cold glass of water.

Imagine: Vince Staples is having fun.

Imagine: Vince Staples giving you a fist bump.

Imagine: Vince Staples and Tyga are shopping together at the local mall. Vince is looking for a nice shirt to wear to dinner with his mom. Tyga feels like it’s time for him to invest in a supple, handmade leather belt. They stop at a kiosk to try on sunglasses and compliment each other on their bone structure. After they’re done shopping, they stop at the food court for Panda Express. They show each other some memes. They leave for the day, satisfied with their purchases and their friendship.

Imagine: Vince Staples orders a drink from you at the bar. He smiles and says thank you and when he closes his tab he leaves you a 25% tip. It’s a busy night, so by the time you clear away his glass, he’s gone. You notice he’s written something on his napkin and your heart skips a beat. It’s a number! In dismay, you realize the condensation from the side of the glass has run down onto the napkin and smudged some of the digits, making them illegible. You look around the bar but Vince is gone. You look back down at the ruined number and smile sadly. You spare a moment to think about the beautiful life the two of you could have shared if you’d been able to give him a call. Then you throw the soiled napkin away and get back to work.

Imagine: Vince Staples bowling at your local bowling alley.

Reeling from the alarming truth about his second cousin, Kevin, Vince decides to blow off steam by hosting a barbecue for the kids in his neighborhood. But when an unexpected guest shows up, uninvited and unwanted, things get complicated. Will Vince be able to control the chaos, stop his neighbors snooping, and keep his perfectly seasoned steaks from burning?

Shaken by the discovery that the sweet lady next door was actually a viscous serial killer, Vince decides he needs a weekend away. He turns off his phone, packs up the car, and hits the road. Destination: grandma’s house. But there’s a bumpy road ahead of him, with no shortage of twists and turns. Will he make it to Grandma’s in time for dinner?

Safe in Grandma’s kitchen at last, Vince finally has a chance to relax. Or so he thinks. Grandma has a to-do list for Vince and she’s checking it twice. Can Vince survive his relaxing weekend away?

Following the revelation that Vince is actually the grandson of an affluent French millionaire who has recently decided to legally acknowledge all surviving progeny as inheritors of his estate, Vince takes a long walk through his neighborhood, reflecting on what the sudden influx of wealth means for him.

When Vince headed to the shelter at the end of last week’s episode to adopt his new dog, Chico, he never thought he’d walk out with a date. Things are finally looking up for Vince—if he can control his nerves enough to hold up his end of the dinner conversation that is.

After the disastrous  events of their first date that left three men dead, Vince decides to take his new girl for a quiet day at the park.  Their idyllic picnic takes a turn for the worse when they run into Vince’s evil ex, and a mountain of hungry fire ants.

Vince, looking for a low-key hobby to distract from his now-ex-girlfriend’s heartbreaking betrayal, decides to start an Instagram account for Chico. But when Creative Pawtists Agency reach out to represent him, Vince is suddenly faced with the difficult choice of whether or not to subject his faithful pup to a life of stardom, Vince seeks out an old friend for advice, but their conversation raises more questions than it answers…

Having narrowly avoided signing Chico up for a lifetime of servitude to CPA, Vince heads to the mini-golf course for a day of serious self-reflection. But when he catches a burglary in progress at the snack booth, his plans are put on the back burner.

At the insistence of the thugs that captured him at the end of last week’s episode, Vince is taking on the Las Vegas casino scene. Forced to be the public face of their operation, Vince finds himself playing the highest-stakes game of poker the city has ever seen. Can Vince bluff his way to a win in order to earn his freedom and save Chico’s life? Don’t miss the explosive season finale of Summertime 06.

Following the explosive events of season 1, which left Vince as the new kingpin of an infamous Las Vegas betting ring, Vince returns to Ramona Park and attempts to get some perspective.

What does the future hold for a man with more money than God? Will he find even more success than he already has? Will he withdraw all of his cash as $1 dollar bills and dump them into a pool so that he can drown his doubts and sorrows in money? Tune in to find out.

With the remains of his house burning behind him and his rivals running in fear, Vince and Chico set out on a new adventure. Along the way, Vince regales his faithful companion with stories of his life at 3230.

Having successfully fought his way out of the underground boxing ring, Vince ends up at the beach. Looking for a new challenge, Vince decides to try surfing for the first time. To his surprise, he’s a natural.

Thrust into global stardom as the greatest surfer of all time, Vince struggles to balance the demands on his time. But between the Vegas betting ring, surfing career, and managing Chico’s instagram presence, he’s starting to feel the stress. How much more can he take?

Having decided to run for Governor, Vince turns his attention to running the greatest election campaign of all time. He uses the fortune from his French grandfather to put his face on every billboard in the state, and draws some unwanted attention.

Still recovering from the hard-won dance battle that saved his half-sister’s life, Vince and Chico set off on the campaign trail. At every stop, the crowd grows. Vince thanks them for attending by giving everyone a $100 bill and a chance to shake Chico’s paw.

On the run from the feds for trying to buy the election, Vince faces a unique struggle as he tries to keep a low-profile while also being one of the most famous surfers of all time. After a narrow escape from capture, Vince goes off the grid and catches up with an old flame.

Vince is exhausted from his work with the traveling circus, and even though he knows he needs to keep moving in order to stay safe, he misses being able to catch a wave whenever the urge strikes. He wants to move on, but extracting himself from the carnival world might be harder than he thinks.

In exchange for having brought down the circus that was a front for an infamous kidnapping and trafficking ring, the feds agree to turn a blind eye on Vince’s unorthodox method of political campaigning. With his gubernatorial  dreams back on track, Vince and Chico return to the city for a final rally with his supporters before the polls close.

In the season 2 finale, newly elected Governor Vince, his Vice Governor Chico, and their campaign team throw an epic block party to celebrate their victory. Is it the party of the month? No, it’s the party of ’06.
