He's telling the truth. Y'all fail to realize a lot of these rappers make OK songs, don't sell albums or singles and don't have a solid fan base. Yet they're signed. Granted most got signed off of 1 hit but usually the label was in on it from the beginning.
This is all common sense and research. Nothing he’s saying is something new. Practically just repeating or reciting things he’s heard or read. Anyone can be woke.
Not even... take Silento for example... his song was blowing up and the label swooped in to make all that money when the kid could have probably made it independently. These artists dont stay signed lol
@@gusdee4844 how do things his song got to blow up? It's because people help him in the background to make it blow up. There are so many songs better than hes. They didn't blow up.
never heard of him ...but after watching this ...checked his music ...dude really is fire...also realized I've heard his music on late night mix shows.
I appreciate the honesty. Because I don't get shows or shoutouts like I should. I thought it was my look or persona. But I'm not buddy buddy with industry people in my city
William Anderson you don't have to have 3 classic albums to talk like that, he on the top 10 billboards. And he sell out shows on his own. He already know the business. Just cause he isn't on radio or. Known to the world doesn't mean he doesn't know what he talking about. He's in the industry 😂
Right. He is Sicilian, and I know he said he grew up broke, but he better be connected. He's blowing the doors wide open in plain sight without any editing, so I am very concerned. Nipsey was doing the same and had protection, only to be hit by a real, medically diagnoseable psychopath. I guess that's exactly what it took to get to a real one. I can already tell that me and Russ would talk shit stress free for hours...then later when we're sober, possibly talk about the future of business.
I am fan of him since 2014. But after this interview i like him even more. His personality is just unique and he's so honest and hilarious at the same time XD
He ain't exposing shit. How is he exposing our favorite rappers when he isn't even giving names? He's saying shit that every other nigga has said. He's not talking about anything new
He’s just repeating and reciting research. Anyone can find out shit. So chill bruh, Russ is only making small waves. He may sell out a 2000 person venue, but nothing he’s saying is anything new! So again, chill.
A lot of people only see what goes down on the surface...this guy is speaking some deep ass shit...I know the struggles young artist go through to even get airway play. Its not easy to sell out a show of 100 talkless of a thousand single handedly..This guy is not arrogant or cocky he is just making us aware of what goes down behind the curtains and ultimately showing that hard work pays off. You will be suprised the amount of artist who are just bullshitting us.
if y'all never seen his concert videos... his concerts are lit the crowd steady sings along to not one but all his songs that he performs...he is a very nice an humble guy he actually hands waters out to fans before he performs....and I don't think he's bragging that he's so famous and rich what he's trying to get at is that he sold out shows on his own with no one's help for a person that's starting up and his fans are real fans.
Dude, this stuff, literally, can be repeated a 100x over. Just spun a different way. Russ is only woke to the amount of what people are speaking of. Now if he was really woke, like on some Never before seen type shit, he wouldn’t be popping, that’s for damn sure.
I feel you Russ, but I am always dubious of people who repeat themselves. You articulate yourself well enough, no reason to keep making the same point over and over.
He's Speaking The Truth. If its tied to who you know, then its all about networks that manipulate the outcome of Music. Music should embedded passion With sales, versus anything and sales.
I think sometimes if a song is big enough labels will find you. At the same time he's right if you know somebody you're in regardless of followers or not
I love this guy so much he's so admirable. 😭 He says the words most people are afraid to say. HE'S SAYING WHAT EVERYONE IS THINKING. | But what's with the toothpick though 😂 (he has them ALL the damn time) I think he's orally fixated
Comparing to today, he’s really toned down his “attitude” he’s way happier now especially bc he’s winning even BIGGER Been a fan of Russ since “Tsunami” 🌊
Adriano he know the industry he's in it and been in it for a while. He knows who's selling out tickets and who don't. He has like 11 mixtape/albums and been on top 10 billboards more than the trendy guys could do. He been around all this stuff to say it.
I don't care what people say about him he as every right to be this confident! He is the best at what he does because he did it all on his own. He deserves to be this confident and deserves all the fame and fortune. I don't get why people hate on him speaking the truth anyway. He is up front, he doesnt bullshit, He is one of the best rap/hip hop artist EVER!
Low key I opened up for Russ at a Sig Ep fraternity party right before he blew up and had a lot of respect for his grind but he seems to have lost all sense of humility and it's hard to respect that. Whether or not you're winning I feel like you should always present yourself in a likeable manner because anything is bound to change.
It's kind of funny hearing people who have never touched the industry comment about how he knows nothing about it. He gets millions of views, a huge fan base, can't argue with that
People are hating him because they are used to all that fake shit they see and hear on ALL MEDIA PLATFORMS from these wack ass artists & interviewers. This is a REAL artist with REAL FACTS. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
We forget steve stout is from the hood, his cousins friend's brothers friend is still in the hood and he's at the top. So it is who you know. We forget that people at the top in hip hop are still from the same hood any new rapper is from.
The only people that actually have hate or jealousy for someone else, is someone that won't do the thing that they are jealous of themselves. That's why so many people don't like Russ, because of that. If your jealous, then go and get it yourself. There is such a thing as good, motivated jealousy, and then there is the all consuming, build up hate and resentment jealousy, which is very lethal and dangerous. Just do what you do to the fullest, and be genuine and authentic with you as your doing it. There's just too much hate on social media that I'm getting really sick of now of days.
He's keepin it real. The truth always seems bitter to those who have only been fed "sweet" lies.
+PurelyAfrican fax
Big facts
He ain't cocky tho. When you truly believe in yourself ppl tend to think you are
That was really well worded, damned right.
Most young people are not used to or used to seeing a strong, confident man. Being cocky comes from these soft cakes out here!
This
Like how else is a successful mindset suppose to think like besides ur gonna get it done no matter what?

msawmusic he just sold out every single show on his tour by himself

@@gusdee4844 exactly that happens to most signed artists

Russ be speaking the truth on a real one.
Life in general seems to be based off of who you know
Ricky Skiiwalker meet new people then
@@Darriusleonard 💯👏
@@jonathanlavis7447 👏💯
It’s not bout who you know but how much ass you kiss reference Jaguar Wright!!!
Facts bro.
He is telling the truth. I feel him. He did it legit.
DMX said that industry shit forever ago
Okay so??
R.I.P DMX
And he knew.
the second half of this interview was awesome
🙏🏼 origami !!!
Ima check it out, thanks for the heads up
She definitely shouldn't be interviewing
Lmao this interviewer is not even prepared to talk to somebody on his level.
Exactly she just stunned after every time he talks
this chick is intimidated by russes realness
FINALLY A RAPPER SAYING HOW SHIT REALLY IS
RA the rugged man did too
he's very strong minded
You can tell the interviewer wasn't prepared for that answer and she is reluctant to accept it as reality.
Nah she just wasnt prepared to waste 10 minutes of her life by him talking about the same shit over & over
This dude is super dope.
this interview is everything 😍🤗💖 since 13 years old just watching the industry unfold is wild
I was turned off by what he said about producers being to blame for wack music but I checked out his music and dude has TALENT
never heard of him ...but after watching this ...checked his music ...dude really is fire...also realized I've heard his music on late night mix shows.
I appreciate the honesty. Because I don't get shows or shoutouts like I should. I thought it was my look or persona. But I'm not buddy buddy with industry people in my city
Smart man..... i bet these fools wont listen just kuz they don't hear him on the radio 30 times a day. Spit that truth bro.
Not just labels Russ, in all walks of life. My dad told me, that it's never what you know' but only who you know and others just get lucky😂😂.
The way he be talking you would think he got 3 classic albums LOL
William Anderson lmaoo
William Anderson For Real 😂😂😂
William Anderson fr tho
William Anderson you don't have to have 3 classic albums to talk like that, he on the top 10 billboards. And he sell out shows on his own. He already know the business. Just cause he isn't on radio or. Known to the world doesn't mean he doesn't know what he talking about. He's in the industry 😂
david d nobody asked you to comment dumbass
He ain't the first to expose the industry and won't be the last.
He is arrogant, but tells the Truth!
The Rap Game is so watered down out of all the Rappers we have this Dude from Boy Meets World keeping it 💯 with us....
BlackJohnnyCage Real talk 😂🔥😩
Dropping gems. These young artists need to pull out their pen and paper n take notes
what a humble guy
Aaron J lols!!!
Lord protect Russ... we know what happen to people with this kinda attitude in the industry
Right. He is Sicilian, and I know he said he grew up broke, but he better be connected. He's blowing the doors wide open in plain sight without any editing, so I am very concerned. Nipsey was doing the same and had protection, only to be hit by a real, medically diagnoseable psychopath. I guess that's exactly what it took to get to a real one. I can already tell that me and Russ would talk shit stress free for hours...then later when we're sober, possibly talk about the future of business.
SPRING RAPTURE 2019 lord?
I agree it's all about connections, he's telling the truth about that. It's who puts out
he's mad smart
Russ is the realest person iv heard talk FRFR
one thing I love about Russ is he always keeps it real lol I respect that
I am fan of him since 2014. But after this interview i like him even more. His personality is just unique and he's so honest and hilarious at the same time XD
They fucked up letting Russ in the game he's too real 💯 y'all hating cause he exposing y'all favorite rappers lol
He ain't exposing shit. How is he exposing our favorite rappers when he isn't even giving names? He's saying shit that every other nigga has said. He's not talking about anything new
He can't expose shit. He just saying thid to make people rock with him lol.
He’s just repeating and reciting research. Anyone can find out shit. So chill bruh, Russ is only making small waves. He may sell out a 2000 person venue, but nothing he’s saying is anything new! So again, chill.
Russ the truth

When he said Linkin Park, I got super happy. Russ, is the realest dude I've seen in the game yet.
Thanks for the knowledge
"Why Nate Dogg?"
Stupidest question ever asked...
A lot of people only see what goes down on the surface...this guy is speaking some deep ass shit...I know the struggles young artist go through to even get airway play. Its not easy to sell out a show of 100 talkless of a thousand single handedly..This guy is not arrogant or cocky he is just making us aware of what goes down behind the curtains and ultimately showing that hard work pays off. You will be suprised the amount of artist who are just bullshitting us.
All about who you know and who you blow.
one of the realest interviews I've seen in a long time.
I mess with him heavy
This man is waaaay past his age talented af no doubt and waaaay ahead of the interviewer 😂
if y'all never seen his concert videos... his concerts are lit the crowd steady sings along to not one but all his songs that he performs...he is a very nice an humble guy he actually hands waters out to fans before he performs....and I don't think he's bragging that he's so famous and rich what he's trying to get at is that he sold out shows on his own with no one's help for a person that's starting up and his fans are real fans.
The interviewer sounds lost🙄 Nate Dog was that dude!
U not conscious so u not gonna know what he's talking about
Fly Money, High Money "conscious" lmao
Fly Money, High Money ur gay so u wont know what hes talking about
Dude, this stuff, literally, can be repeated a 100x over. Just spun a different way. Russ is only woke to the amount of what people are speaking of. Now if he was really woke, like on some Never before seen type shit, he wouldn’t be popping, that’s for damn sure.
"...cuz ppl gonna' tell me to calm down, and I'm like chill the fuck out." This man the truth.
Garrett Wright KRS-one, now dude is woke and hip-hop. Russ is just Russ. Sorry man.
I feel you Russ, but I am always dubious of people who repeat themselves. You articulate yourself well enough, no reason to keep making the same point over and over.
In Russ we trust 🙏🏼
I could listen to russ all day he seems like a good guy and he speaks facts 💯
this dude's a badass..
Judging by where he is in life I think he is smart af
Came across this guy recently, he did it properly
Russ is so cool for saying this
He right💯
This women wasn't ready for this interview lmao
Russ is way too real for this fake ass in this room🙌👏💯
This lady interviewing seems hella dry. She asks Russ a question, he responds kinda in a lengthy way. Her response: "Yeahhhhh."
“I’m letting you know what’s going on in the locker room”
He's Speaking The Truth. If its tied to who you know, then its all about networks that manipulate the outcome of Music. Music should embedded passion With sales, versus anything and sales.
He speaks the realist shit with the industry!
I think sometimes if a song is big enough labels will find you. At the same time he's right if you know somebody you're in regardless of followers or not
I love this guy so much he's so admirable. 😭 He says the words most people are afraid to say. HE'S SAYING WHAT EVERYONE IS THINKING. | But what's with the toothpick though 😂 (he has them ALL the damn time) I think he's orally fixated
Facts of life 💯💯💯
Comparing to today, he’s really toned down his “attitude” he’s way happier now especially bc he’s winning even BIGGER
Been a fan of Russ since “Tsunami” 🌊
He's telling the truth. Kinda cocky. but he being real.
manifergi he not cocky just confident
Cocky? How?
How is he cocky tf
More like fed up

That dude mention Colbie Caillat. Instant respect lol
Russ honest, truth, straight- forward. I respect that from anyone.
This nigga looks like the saltbae dude!! Love his hustle and mindstate
Terry Grady right haha
Everyone is asking him the questions, it's not like he's bringing it up himself. He speaks the truth people.
Watching this is in 2022 is crazy… he had 300 songs back then
He's real 💯
I LOVE THIS MAN
If The Weeknd was talking like this after his 3 Mixtapes, i would understand it. But this guy 🤔
Adriano he know the industry he's in it and been in it for a while. He knows who's selling out tickets and who don't. He has like 11 mixtape/albums and been on top 10 billboards more than the trendy guys could do. He been around all this stuff to say it.
Russ buggin, all these labels care about is #'s
iLLest I know right this is coming from someone nobody knows and sales no records. trust record labels care about numbers.
+illestTv What label are you signed to ?
Others than drake which rapper is selling records?
Phony Thugs 😂😂😂😂
JCole made a ton of money off his last album
Russ is the man. I hear the mainstream music today and it is sad as fuck. Keep doing what you doing.
If you can't see he real and not in his ego, it's you! Work on you n you'll see.
Dequan Washington stfu
I don't care what people say about him he as every right to be this confident! He is the best at what he does because he did it all on his own. He deserves to be this confident and deserves all the fame and fortune. I don't get why people hate on him speaking the truth anyway. He is up front, he doesnt bullshit, He is one of the best rap/hip hop artist EVER!
New young PAC when it comes to being real to the people 💥💥💥👍🏿
Did she just ask "WHY NATE DOGG?" SMH
For realllll
People on here hating on him and his music. Lol believe me when I say he's a real artist and he makes better music than most in the game
Quick question, is his chain Ableton?? Or is it something else??
thr realist in the game!
Russ is a business man, “I get my own bread 🥖 “!
Nigga said “ it’s like being tired of drinking by the time u 21” 😭
