But good for Staples for defending her anyway. Obviously, Staples and the woman from the video come from two totally different walks of life, so it'd be hard for her to understand what his experiences are that made sharing those lyrics important to him. But it’s not very responsible for people to try to take that and jump, looking for some sort of commentary on these issues." In my eyes, she doesn’t look like a racist. He added: “We already have a lot of issues between black and white relations in this country based on misunderstandings. However, he does think that she took his lyrics out of context, since he was rapping about his own experiences growing up in Long Beach.
While it totally would have made sense for him to be angry that she was offended, it's awesome to hear that Staples decided to point out how wrong it is to attack someone for her opinion. It’s just not right that’s she’s being attacked.
It’s not right to attack someone over their stance, their opinions, and their religion. He said: "I don’t really have much to say about the video - I don’t think it’s funny at all. So far, there are articles everywhere mocking the woman - like this one from Funny or Die - but when Staples was asked about the rant, his response was pretty impressive, especially since he believes she misinterpreted the lyrics. And since this song was reportedly played on a station that she says normally sticks to vanilla top hits, it caught her off guard when it started playing with her children in the car. And while dark topics like these are present in a lot of rap about the harsh realities of gang life, it's shocking to her, especially since she admittedly usually listens to Christian music. The woman takes issue with a lot of themes in the song: abortions, skipping class, and drug use, to name a few. She mispronounces a lot of words and is obviously very out of her element, but it's clear she's legitimately upset - aka she's not doing this for the laughs. In the video (which you can watch here), she's brought to tears just talking about the kind of music her young daughters have been exposed to, and then she proceeds to read out the lyrics of the entire song, profanity and all. In an interview with The Independent, Staples defended the woman from the "Norf Norf" rant, and it just proves how awesome this guy really is.īasically, this all started when a video surfaced of a Christian mother of four - who, so far, has remained unidentified - who heard "Norf Norf" on a local radio station and was pretty horrified by the lyrics. But the rapper behind the song wants the negativity to stop, and his reason it is actually kind of cool.
This week, a video of a mom upset about the lyrics of "Norf Norf" by Vince Staples went viral, and the reaction has been pretty negative. This definitely isn't the first time a mom has gotten upset about the kind of music that plays on the radio, and it definitely won't be the last, but a clip of a certain upset mom is making a huge impact.
