According to
Vince Staples, his energy and studio habits didn't mesh well with
Alchemist and Earl Sweatshirt, and although he was admittedly excited about working with the two artists, he ultimately ended up working with Kenny Beats instead.
"You know, it’s crazy. I’m going to tell you the truth. This a Ebro exclusive, right? Alchemist had hit me and was like, 'I want this project. Me, you, and Earl. I only need three weeks,'"
Vince Staples said while talking to Ebro Darden. "I’m like, 'All right, I’ll do it.' So we go over there, and they get high. So I’m the only one over the rapping and I don’t smoke, so it didn’t really blend. I was getting headaches. So next thing I know I got 30 verses on 30 beats…I thought we was collaborating!"
Vince continues, saying, "Alchemist moves at a very cryptic pace, he’s hella slow. Then I get to the point I’m telling Kenny, I’m like, 'Yeah, man.' He’s like, 'What’s up with the Alchemist project?' I’m like, 'Man, I’m just waiting on the homie. You feel me? You know, we’ve been getting these stems for a month and a half. It’s all good.' And Kenny said, 'Oh man, just come to the house.' Like, 'We don’t ever make no music, blah, blah, blah.' I’m like, 'cause you the homie, I don’t really work with the homies, it's weird. So boom. We go to Kenny house. We go twice a week for about two hours for three weeks. It was right before Christmas, right after Thanksgiving. Made 30, 40 songs, and then we picked eight."
