Vince Staples had his slot to perform at the SXSW Spotify stage over the weekend, and took advantage to shade the company that’s been playing his music. The streaming wars continue…hit the jump.

Vince took to the crowd:
“Shoutout to Spotify. Thank you for giving me this check to make up for what you’ve done to me and all my musical friends.”
“Listen to your favorite album 1,000, 2,000 times so everybody can get an album sale.”
Does he have a point? Artist’s don’t make half as much as they used to from album sales – it’s all about shows and merch, that’s why everyone is a “brand” nowadays.
Later on Staples went on Twitter to express:
“S/o to @Spotify. The only place I go when I stream my Willow Smith.”
Check the gallery above for the tweet.
