I'm with you. The anime rap is cool and what caught my attention but my favorite songs are Rustage's own, if he swapped anime raps for originals I'd be down for it. Though I'd still love the occasional anime rap if he felt inspired by it.

[@vaylenrayne]

Also to give you an idea of how long he's had this in the making? Shwabadi said he remembered recording the chorus for this like 4 or 5 YEARS AGO! Like a dentist I'm hunting Plaques like on teeth but also plaques like accolades

[@frankcayseron8637]

specifically the you tube plaques for subsribers

Perfect video for my cardio session 😂❤

I mean, it’s kinda too late to skim it now, I just watched the whole thing! Fun reaction like usual 👍🏻

[@frankcayseron8637]

this video is full of visual bars. obviously none of this is confirmed so it is all my speculations. 2nd or as you call is glass room remind me of science lab.
so it represents all the experiments with his songs and music and anxiety it brings him.
that is why all "down" moments were in that room.
he first go to hamster wheel room and plays with it AFTER he mentions sisyphus. sisyphus is guy from greek mythology that was sentenced to push barrel uphill for eternity and no matter how far up he bushes it, it seems like it did not get any closer to the top.
somewhat similar to how no matter how long you move inside the hamster wheel you never move from where you started.
and then what you already mentioned, ripping of the naruto posters might mean he wants to break out of only making anime music. also nice touch for me is "why naruto" .
in many interviews he made or whenever he talks about this stuff he always brings out how it was konoha 12 cypher and naruto songs that helped him grow the most. so much so that he made it into algorhytm strategy where he would make one naruto and one other anime song and as he was getting more and more popular he was making naruto songs less and less frequently but kept having the same strategy as naruto songs were the best for algorhythm so naruto anime is in rustage opinion the key to his success and reason why he is so popular so that is why he chose naruto manga panels for that scene.
again just my speculation.
lastly the guy staring in his bedroom and poking finger at himi (and also the person in black fighting rustage in the end scene outside the dollhouse) is cam steady. now, who it is aside, i think that cam steady represents all the people rustage kept comparing himself to.
he mentioned once or twice before that he gets anxiety when he compares himself to others. that is why he had to stop reacting to other music videos on his second channel as well as why he dont really listen to other people music that much. he looks up to dps and fabvl and think they are great and feels like he can never be on their level so every time he compares himself to other is where all the anxiety come from. just like how mini rustage in dollhouse is scared of cam steady and tries to run away. then big rustage comes and fight off cam steady. to me this represents his inner struggle between comparing to others and/or meeting others expectations (cam steady) and his desire to just be himself (rustage) and then in the end rustage wins showing that he plans to just make music that he wants rather than continue with anime stuff and naruto strategies and so on.
i think he will still make anime songs but because he wants to rap about them not because it helps him grow, and that we will hopefuly get more of original music like pirate king and dreaming on

The actual lyric he says is Mancala beads,
Probably another rustage story we don't know yet
