\n\tVince Staples<\/a> has a message for fans and critics.<\/p>\n

\n\tDuring a recent episode<\/a> of his weekly Apple Music radio show 5 on Fridays With Vince Staples<\/a>, the Long Beach rapper said that people shouldn\u2019t always expect perfection when it comes to albums.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAlbums aren\u2019t supposed to be perfect, you a\u2013hole. You\u2019re not perfect!\u201d he told listeners. \u201cYou wipe your butt like everybody else, pal. And we know you don\u2019t have the Wet Wipes. We know you don\u2019t have the bidet. Don\u2019t think that we don\u2019t know that you don\u2019t have the bidet. You know, they\u2019re not that common in America, so you get on the Internet with your sh\u2013ty butt and you talk poorly about people\u2019s creative choices. It\u2019s not nice of you to do so. We will never talk about that streak you have going up the crack of your a\u2013 because you don\u2019t have a pack of the Wet Wipes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe added: \u201cWipe your a\u2013 before you talk about people\u2019s albums. It\u2019s 8 in the morning, why are you so upset? Grow up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tVince\u2019s latest offering, Cry Baby, has sparked conversation online due to its genre-defying sound and he has defended his choice<\/a> to be able to make the music he wants to make during a live performance earlier this year.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYou know, they told me, \u2018You can\u2019t make this, you gotta do straight hip-hop, it\u2019s gonna translate better with your audience.\u2019 Whatever the f\u2014 that means,\u201d he told the crowd as he expressed his frustration with the music industry.<\/p>\n
