Vince Staples asked fans to help come up with marketing ideas for Season 2 of The Vince Staples Show, and in true Vince fashion, he dragged nearly every suggestion that came his way.
On Friday, the Long Beach rapper and Netflix creator took to X to ask fans how they wanted the show to be marketed to them for season two, and he wasted no time keeping it real.
"I have a marketing meeting for Season 2 of the show on Monday. How do y'all want to be marketed to?" Staples tweeted.
Fans eagerly responded, but Staples turned the thread into a comedy session. One person suggested promotional rolling papers. Vince fired back with a deadpan punchline: "If you plan to get high in honor of the show, crack is the minimum."
Another user pitched behind-the-scenes clips and bloopers. Vince replied: "BTS is just me in the rain holding coffee, but I do like the idea of bloopers."
When someone offered to make and hand out bootleg T-shirts to promote the show, Vince responded, "If we catch anybody bootlegging merchandise, we sending you to Uncle Charles," referencing Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's emotional classic "Tha Crossroads."
A fan who requested DVDs of the show sparked a surprisingly thoughtful response. Staples agreed that physical media is important: "We have to keep physical media alive because one day, the white people will tell us Living Single didn't exist."
After roasting enough suggestions to fill a writers' room, Staples joked about the final plan for promotion: "Welp, interviews it is." Then he clarified: "That was sarcasm."
Season 2 of The Vince Staples Show premieres November 6 on Netflix. According to Deadline, the new episodes follow Vince on a "wild journey in search of inner peace" after a death shakes up his world. Vanessa Bell Calloway and Naté Jones return for Season 2, while comedian Zack Fox joins as a guest star.
The series, loosely based on Vince's life, blends comedy, surrealism, violence, and deadpan humor, much like Vince himself. Speaking with Netflix's Tudum, he teased that the show mirrors real life: "Next for Vince is literally anything because anything could happen at any moment. That's just how life works."
