Russ - Note To Self (REACTION!) (Feat. Big Sean, Wale, Joey Bada$$ & Hit-Boy)

[@dondewan]

Big Sean's whole style is Synonyms & Antonyms. It's very intentional, it's his specialty in fact.

[@ShahzaibKhan-Hooper08]

One of the best albums of the year. Would love more reactions from this album guys. Lets go!!

[@daltonmm3675]

Definitely. Gotta do the song with snoop.

[@isxbxlla1414]

I agreee, would love more reactions from this album

[@tatertots0046]

Bucket Hat Low with Papoose is *THE ONE* ❗❗❗❗❗❗❗

[@ShahzaibKhan-Hooper08]

@@tatertots0046 phew ✊🏿✊🏿 they both went in on that one. Infact, almost all features went full bonkers on this album. The only one I expected way more was from Styles P, other than that, every feature clicked

[@RoboticIzaac]

I love The Game track or the Jay Elctron one

[@StevenMarz]

Hit-boy is actually nominated for a producer grammy. Hopefully he gets the win, been loving his work these past two years 🔥

[@phumlanitshaka7874]

Big Sean is brilliant 🔥🔥

[@vicogbanje9931]

Russ having features with Hip hop OGs on this album is something we don't see everyday from these other new school rappers. That's a smart move because those who rock with these featured artists on his album are going to want to listen to it.

[@brucejamesparker]

Lol that’s usually how I discover new artist. If an OG I’ve been listening to for years does a feature for them. That’s enough approval for to give the younger artist a listen

[@Gintoki_Madao]

Even Eminem doesn't do songs with Hip hop OGs 🤦‍♂️ Russ doing the Lord's work

[@chrismalinowski654]

Completely buggin. Russ spazzed on every song, you clearly dont know how to analyze writing or literary devices in rap. He held his own

[@Ravioli1612]

@@Gintoki_Madaogo back to music to get murdered by or kamikaze, both feature many lesser known OG’s

[@Gintoki_Madao]

@@Ravioli1612 no, I won't go back to those.. Just cos he ft slaughterhouse doesn't mean shit... I'm talking about other rappers that he hasn't rapped with Many? I think we have different albums mate.

Joey Badass plays a leading character in Power Book 3: Raising Kanan, one of the Power spin-offs. His character’s name is “Unique”.

[@vadelmakiisseli6884]

I dont understand how russ is still so slept on

[@davidekpo7336]

I love how Sean sounds. It’s my favorite thing about him .

[@ahmadlansari5224]

Big Sean's voice is perfect and easily recognizable

[@BizarreWrld]

I'm so glad you guys caught this album, Russ never lets me down and the features he's pulled together on this really did their thing, it's a solid 8/10 project for me.=

George is spot on about Big Sean making this verse about opposites, the last line basically says it!

[@wonderlandian8465]

Big Sean is one of the best voices in hip hop , i don't care what people talk about in regards to his tone, he has a great tone

[@corybitela4165]

JOEY WAS TALKING ABOUT HIS ROLE AS UNIQUE ON ONE OF THE POWER SPIN OFFS.

[@AReid21]

“Free” is like crack for hip hop old heads, classic Premo beat. Would love to see a reaction to the track and also Papoose’s verse on “Bucket Hat Low”. 🔥

[@agaleas76]

Premi kilt that shit my goodness

[@breland7809]

that’s one of my favorite songs

[@jrsxm-721]

This album is solid asf every track slaps. We still need a reaction to Stockholm Syndrome from the first Chomp album tho

[@therealmccoy6097]

Yes that song has been on repeat for months 🔥 🔥

[@ffphala897]

That song is actually no one in my spotify listenings

[@DC94359]

That song is banging, Russ was snapping but king crooked came in and closed the coffin.

[@tpeianlee]

I like how Big Sean spit facts while relaxed

[@Dr.smokey]

Man Russ can spit bro.He's really underrated as a rapper

[@besapharaoh]

Joey got paid 2mil by 50 Cent to act in Raising Kanan (Power) but he poses the question how is he supposed to act as though saying he has to stunt, it’s expected. Also his role in that series is Unique, which he plays on with his last line about his life being a movie. this song is crazy 🙆🏾‍♂️

[@RenR70]

Wale's flow reminded me of A Tribe Called Quest flow on Check The Rhythm.

[@LIKMusic-yl6yx]

Wale verse was ridiculous 🔥🔥 everyone got off tho

[@jonahxsmitty]

Joey’s delivery on his verse reminds me a lot of Wayne’s delivery on Hustler Muzik off of the Carter 2. Not necessarily the flow or the rhyme pattern but just the tone, super dope.

[@sambroers4652]

I see the comparison, Hustler Musik is such a great song too

[@funkyfreshkid08]

That's an amazing catch fr

[@a.r.duculture163]

Very much so

[@gooddogreallygooddog6157]

As someone whos first language isnt english i didnt realize how crazy that wale verse was before you analyzed it

[@tompearsall1060]

Honestly nothing better than seeing you've uploaded a song that I know I'm going to like and it being 30mins. I look forward to these videos more than anything else on the internet. Hitboy is an absolute genius, he takes centre stage for me on everything he produces

[@DannyGrc]

As soon as I heard the beat I knew Wale was gon kill it and have the best verse. These the type of beats he always goes off on.

[@Andre-lf2gz]

That wale verse 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@sambroers4652]

Man I hope you react to more songs off this album. Enjoyed it from front to back and know you guys do too. Really enjoyed this reaction too. From discussing Big Sean’s voice, to analyzing Wale’s flow and picking out all the slick lines, you two are unmatched in what you do.

[@debbiecostello6949]

That was beautiful! Lyrics 👏🏼! Flow 👏🏼! Master class by all these dudes. Wale does it for me though- can't get enough of him! Ryan - "Get your weight up" Me. - Done! 😊

[@scarecrowzw]

This beat is proof of what I suspected all along. Big Sean is best suited to Lo-fi hip-hop beats. That tuft in the Hip-Hop genre helps compliment his vocal range. Get off the fan-wagon of comparison and stay on a self-determined suitable track.

[@noahpaul400]

No disrespect to anyone else, but you guys might be the best music reviewers on KZbin! Please keep up the good work, love it! 🤛🏽💖

Sean is a bar spitter bar none, and he can still turn up on songs too like "Lucky Me", "Chaos", "Tyler Herro", etc. I just always respected the versatility of Big Sean.

The lyricism in this song is excellent. I really liked the line about your dreams fighting back. Two seemingly simple lines with a lot wisdom. I also like the idea of knowing your greatness and still be willing learn. Any song that uses antonyms and homonyms gets my vote. This is just a really well written song.
