The rapper shows his comedy chops as he deadpans, \u201cHow much they paying me, though? I want some of that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/tv\/tv-news\/barack-michelle-obama-sign-multi-year-netflix-production-deal-629448\/\">Netflix money<\/a>.

After being greeted by the overly zealous owner, Staples sits in the chair with headphones on and tries to ignore two men staring at him. Out of nowhere, a kid rips Staples\u2019 headphones from his ears and after a brief moment, a full-blown fight ensues with \u201cSo What?\u201d playing the background. The brawl ends after Staples pulls off an insane flip kick that sends someone through the barbershop window. Bruised, but not beaten, the rapper trudges out of the shop, choosing to climb through the window instead of just walk out the open door.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Staples crafted <em>The Vince Staples Show<\/em> with director Calmatic, who notably helmed the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/lil-nas-x-billy-ray-cyrus-old-town-road-music-video-836792\/\">\u201cOld Town Road\u201d video<\/a>.
