All of Russ’ interviews always inspire me to get in the studio & keep making music. Dope interview 💪

[@8EMOODY]

real shit bro , you got music up?

[@chokingchannel7861]

Jimmy Sandra yeah but stay consistent and focused. It’s the key to make this happen

[@DomLecTro]

Word2 when I was 15 in 2017-2018 I remember watching all his interviews he mentioned that he owned apartment complex and talked about ownership, that shit motivated me to learn business on my own and now yo boi a 5 figure trader, 6 figures next!!! This the only celebrity I fuck wit and would like to meet bc other rappers and their fans used to talk hella negative shit and I bet non of they fans doing big shit

[@DomLecTro]

Keep going bro, believe you can do it b/c u definitely can, and put in hrs everyday don’t stop

[@casecarroll8309]

I feel that same way man damn

[@youngvelvet43]

S/o to all the artists and producers out there grinding. Don’t give up, we’ll make it one day. I’ll see you up there.

[@jizzle2777]

Russ has definitely grown as a human being and it’s apparent in his newer interviews

[@UnconsciousLoL]

Russ should go on Kenny beats show the cave

[@8EMOODY]

russ is mad fucking inspiring man . this guys up there for me , along with Mac miller, when it comes to lyrics and the value of the content these guys are some of my top top favourites.

[@reececrawford]

He's such a great interview

RACE AGAINST YA DOUBTS A LOT OF YALL AINT RUNNIN FAST ENOUGH iF you readin this, run fasta!

[@SD-dy2eo]

ahhhhh part 2! ! !

[@angeliescobido2037]

I admire his music but I admire him more because he's so self-driven, authentic and talented. I'm a book writer and listening every of his interviews makes me to write more stories in the future. He's truly an inspiration to everybody who strives hard to be in a place where they want. He's independent and that's a real deal. If people don't see it that way, they ain't ready for success and making dreams come true.

[@jaeypaschal]

So inspiring for real for real

[@vaughnamir.6457]

I've never looked for so many interviews from an artist. This is my 5th or 6th one, and I watch all the way through. I only have 6 - 8 Russ songs in my library, but his words are pure motivation. On Pull Up with Budden, he said he dropped 11 mixtapes and only have 1,000 followers after all that. Took that disappointment and made it huge.

[@judyhernandez2985]

Check out his Santiago album he just released. If you know the value of a minute, you’ll see listening to the album is an investment 🔥

[@Hokua888]

lol oneof the only ones who can confidently talk about everything about himself and his actuality of life..... It's geniune. Well done, Russ.

[@pickupanimated1202]

True no other rapper can give you Losin Control and Guess What besides Drake

[@fbi6555]

Oh so I guess Chris brown just doesn’t exist then

[@turkaacid]

@@fbi6555 So you comparing Chris with Drake? hahaha

[@fbi6555]

@@turkaacid no I'm comparing a love song to another artist that also makes love songs. And to be honest, I really don't even understand why russ says he knows the industry but still wants to work with drake so bad. Drake has a team of 5 producers, partynextdoor as a main writer as well as the whole OVO team, choreographers, directors, photographers. Like Russ did this all by himself, everything. So you'd think if your looking from that point of view that you wouldn't value drake the same but he seems to value him even more. That's not to say drake isn't good, but rather that him and russ just make music differently.

[@GoodxJ]

RUSSpect! Gems everytime.

[@myemodiaries901]

I've been following Russ for 2 years and have never once listened to his music--I'm legit just a fan of his interviews and wish he would start a podcast

[@rondoisbeast999]

Wtf

[@nashse7en]

bro, Russ is one of the beast ever, as a person, dropping so much game.

[@TheBizBoutique]

lol in every russ interview he never wants the convos to end. I fuck wit him man, he's too real.

[@chrisdaddy]

You can!!!!!! You all in one artist

[@dathippienamesjesserivera8474]

This man is really speaking his truth and I love that about him .

[@INKLALO]

That's all I got was a weak way to end this overall dope ass interview 😂🔥

[@jean-micheldeslippe1048]

pure gold

[@Jason.McAfee]

Ohh yea this is 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@throughthefloor6118]

I love Russ and I'm a big fan. I respect how he takes pride in understanding that Hip-Hop values making something out of nothing and being independent which is what he did and who he is. I do not disagree with him talking down on rappers rapping about designer brands. The thing that I believe he is not understanding is that those designer brands symbolize success for rappers. To be able to acquire something that they could not have before and valuing their appearance. Biggie said I stay Coogi'd downed to the socks!.Its about having pride in being able to have things that you couldn't have before. If you grew up with access to these things like most suburban white kids in America then you probably cant understand that. Should we support luxury brands like Off White more instead of Gucci sure. But that concept needs to be understood.

[@amims7445]

Nah you can still achieve things and acquire things without wasting it on clothes instead of an investment. These rappers don’t really have the type of money where you can just spend on whatever and still be rich. They aren’t generationally wealthy and it’s because almost no one not even middle class “suburban white kids” are taught how to be smart with money. Suburban white kids that make money quickly like a rapper or any other way do the same shit. When you are riding waves and trends you aren’t going to sell tickets for long and you won’t stay rich if you don’t use your money to make more money. It’s part of the culture but it’s about spending the money you can really spend on bullshit like that. And people think they have more to spend than they really do. Especially when you gotta pay back labels for shit they “gave” you.

[@jboogie380]

I ain’t promo no music I’m a fucking human being bro but manifest was my first song I’ve ever heard! And I was instant hooked.

[@IMZ44]

I respect the man's opinion and his knowledge on the business is amazing. I don't see Travis Scott shifting Hip Hop to another direction than J Cole and K-Dot. Travis does make killer beats and themes. Travis did pass Drake when it comes to creating new beats. I'm not taking anything away from Scott.

[@ShahariaChowdhury]

Lil Uzi just did 311 k sales and I'm pretty sure Travis did 450k or something. Both of these artists are not sought out for bars but instead of their song making abilities. That is really close to kdot and Drake who did 700k and 600k sales

[@IMZ44]

@@ShahariaChowdhury kudos for them. I'm talking more on influence and or lasting appeal for Hip Hop.

It's like when fans say "I want the Marshall Mathers LP Eminem". Not understanding that artists grow and aren't in the same head space or conditions as when they may have made that fans favorite project.

Long game using instant gratification.

[@jizzle2777]

I’m glad he doubled down on his comments about the media not allowing people to grow like he did in another interview he did around this same time with some Philly boys I can’t remember their name

[@manoliwinkler8602]

Is it wrong to say I'm proud to not have ever been on tht train or rather band wagon I been fucking with Russ for a long time and like he said not just his music but his perspective towards the game and world although that more in the last 2 years but great podcast and I'm looking forward to the time where I'm gonna work with him or just chill and talk either way time will tell only the real ones prevail and ya it might be years but one thing Ive most def learned is I got patience and the will grind mentality since a long time and that ain't ever gonna stop glad to see there is still some real hip hop at the top thankful for the others too but don't wanna make this a rant or shout-out count up guess its too late fuck it I messed it up anywayy keep doing what u doing much love remember the G if not that's cool ul see 😂 positive vibes and all that

[@vorutouzamaki2635]

Yea trav is a different generation but is he’s own. He’s on his own level & I don’t even listen to him like that.the big three not about sale is about impact and lyrical shit

[@JB-on6xx]

Best 3 Album stretch is Kanye and it isn’t even close..... You can argue his first 5 were classic and changed the sound of the genre.... There are rappers that rap better than YE but a better artist doesn’t exist

[@iremainunimpressed1589]

I could.. I really could.. 808s was not as Good as graduation or MBDTF.. but still was great.. Drake with Take Care.. NWTS.. IYRTITL.. and for the sake of WATTBA.. then it's an argument

Steven Jones A Kanye fan would never say that lol.... You’re likely a Drake Stan which is totally ok.... But there is no comparison in most people’s mind.... If you don’t believe me just view Akademiks page which is filled with under 18 listeners who undoubtedly have listened to more Drake than Ye.... Guess what the most popular answer was? Kanye West.... Debate over lol

[@iremainunimpressed1589]

@@JB-on6xx I'm 24 I was listenin to Kanye and College Dropout before drake ever touched down.. Truth of the matter is Drakes catalog is more Pure than Kanyes and More reliable than Kanyes.. Kanyes artistic greatness has always caused him to take random risks and experiment with songs and even whole projects.. that's a major problem he has.. no denying.. Drake has only went up.. his only flatline for me was Views and that was fire

Russ was better than Ross on that song. No question.

Post Malone is literally on the verge of outselling Drake lol and I don't think post Malone can actually rap & RUSS DONT YOU FORGET ABOUT CROOSH! that dude will be ahead of it all, you said you don't know and you said that no rapper can make a song like losing control.
