Despite his relatively young age, Vince Staples carries the maturity of a person twice his age. He is also one of the funniest persons I’ve ever come across, mashing an equal parts of intelligent humor and Archer-like deadpan sarcasm. Need proof? Peep his sitdown-turned-mini-rant on NBA players’ personal style, and once you’re done with that watch his “critiquing” of rapper chains of past and present for GQ.

From T-Pain’s massive “BIG ASS CHAIN” necklace, to Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy-era Horus piece, to Waka Flocka’s Muppets-inspired number, Vince and celebrity jeweler Jason of Beverly Hills — or, the guy responsible for some these gaudy pieces on the list — spend the next three minutes cracking jokes on a variety of garish and over-the-top choker-pendants combinations.
