California native Vince Staples spoke with VladTV about growing up in Long Beach after moving with his family from Compton. The "Fire" rapper says he didn't notice his father's gang activity, but he did notice how violent his parents were towards each other, including an incident where his father threw a Christmas tree and punched a cop.

Staples also said the two used to get into physical altercations all the time, with his mom being the avenger in most of the fights.

"They used to be fighting, fighting," he said. "My momma ain't no punk and my daddy wasn't one either and they're going to be arguing and someone is gonna try f***ing somebody up and that's just what it is. It wasn't no 'Get in the kitchen,' type s****' it was shut the f*** up, you're a b**** a** n**** and it was back and forth and back and forth so it is what it is."

He also says his father's time in prison around the time he was born might have influenced him to turn his life around. Staples says there's no hard feelings towards his dad since he's aware that some habits are hard to break.
