Visit North Side Long beach for this entry from Vince Staples. The video starts out with him, in the back of a squad car. Looks like him and his boy just got hemmed up. This is just another one of those tales from the hood right here. Too many young black men, caught up in these streets and quickly gaffled by the police.

This song, and this video ain’t about if he did it or not. You take a journey from the back of the squad car, to the jail cell. It’s a tragic story too many black men know too well. 4 lit fires for the reality portrayed in this short film, with the brilliance of Vince Staples’ lyrical picture painting coming to life, in Norf Norf. …. aka North Side Long Beach. For those who don’t really know, Long Beach, California is a really big city. The further south you go, the less ‘color’ you’ll see.

This commentary on police and their interaction with the community of North Side Long Beach is much needed.
