2025 NAACP Image Awards: Vince Staples’ Best Music Video Storylines That Prove He Was Always Destined for TV
Anyone who’s followed Vince Staple’s music career knows he’s always had a cinematic eye for crafting visuals that feel like mini-movies,
often blending social commentary and dark comedy. Now, that same creative vision has earned him a nomination for Outstanding Breakthrough Creative (Television) at the NAACP Image Awards 2025, recognizing his work on “The Vince Staples Show.”
However, long before the California native was bringing his world to TV screens, his music videos were proof that he was destined for this moment. Ahead of the big night, we’re taking a look at some of his best music video storylines that prove he was always meant for TV.
“Señorita”
“Señorita” presents a stark, dystopian world where a seemingly ordinary neighborhood is actually a heavily surveilled war zone. As Vince walks through the chaos, he remains unfazed—until a shocking ending flips everything upside down.
“Big Fish”
Vince spends the entire video stranded on a small boat surrounded by sharks, rapping with an eerie calmness as his fate remains uncertain.
“LAW OF AVERAGES”
Dark, moody, and drenched in symbolism, “Law of Averages” leans into the surrealism genre with uncanny doll-like figures and a muted color palette that feels like something out of an A24 film.

“ARE YOU WITH THAT?”
This one plays out like a haunting memory loop, with the emcee running through familiar Long Beach surroundings.
“Norf Norf”
A perfect example of Vince’s “less is more” approach to storytelling. The video follows him as he’s arrested and taken to a police station, capturing the raw, unfiltered reality of systemic policing.
