damn this was an amazing interview. both the interviewers had done their homework, they were truly interested and engaged, and it created an inspiring and value-filled outcome. props to rap radar and russ!
i had only 3-4 people in my crowd last week also...i can relate extremely. It forces you to be humble. least my video was dope. im going to continue to work work work!!!!!!!! EVERYDAY
Any "artist" who is smart enough would have naturally taken the approach that Russ did. I myself been grinding 5 years learning these so-called techniques to engineering with little to no releases yet... its about doing it RIGHT for you, not the way people tell you it should be. Props to Russ for gettin his.
Been searching for a good interview like this this was great I found Russ on accident trying to find a playlist to fall asleep to on youtube and found what they want and left on auto play I didn't sleep for shit haha
3:55 Your debut album needs to be titled "Def Ears." And the whole album would tell your story starting at your first mixtape up to your debut album. No lie.
Yeah not even gonna lie I heard what they want and slept on it the first time but hearing it again three days ago I haven't stopped listening and watching this guy. Music above all else hope you do go where you want but on that stay humble stuff just gotta say I'd say it in a way where the intention is that you don't stop being aware of the world around you and think of yourself only; but on that mentally equipped stuff and everything else you are your own person and beautifully confident. Wish you the best and all other real artists out there- never stop for no-one!!!!!!!!!!!!! #PTT

@@notTRV Seven Spritual Laws Of Success Ladders To Success The Four Agreements The Alchemist i did not see this reply from the year ago so i am so sorry for the late ass reply haha, you probably know now but incase you did not i thought i would still give them to you. Have a good day :D
Ryan leslie was producing, writing, and mixing his own stuff since 2006/next selection days.. Krit was doing it by himself as well. they transitioned later toward collaborative music making.. early kanye was well..
jesstin couch not all his stuff. and he doesnt have nearly as much content as russ. and he was signed, thats why russ stands out even more. but without the label talk, russ still is right, hopsin didnt produce all his shit
TechBrah yes he did produce all his shit. every single song. and literally no progress was made during the time he was signed so that's not relevant. he's more of an independent power house then russ.
jesstin couch he has other producers listed for his projects. Im not saying he didnt produce all his projects, he did, but he had help on a few which u can find just by looking at credits
Nav's early catalog he also did everything on his own but he probably doesn't anymore so I can't win that argument. Russ has been doing it on it owl his own life. He needs to be talked about more.
I'm not a big rapper fan.. all because of what Russ is exactly pointing out. That the majority of today's 'rappers' take ages to drop one good song, and I just never understood why. I didn't see much talent there - if so many people were involved in making it, why does on person get the name? But RUSS? He's the reason rap is good. Independent, consistent, just epic.
Shoutout to russ for paving the way for indie DIY artists like myself. Figured i'd take the same approach. My homie/producer and I dropping a track every week for all summer 17. Week 3's poppin' soundcloud.com/pauliticalbars/gas-prod-producer-zoom
Two different points. You need to see the bigger picture. When interviewing saying like that many times, makes you seem...you can decide. Its no reflection of his music.
he didn't say he's the only person in the industry that mix, master, produce, etc. their own shit, he's just saying that people in the industry claim to be independant, when in reality there abusing the word.
I've just discovered Russ, but I don't know why but I could listen to him talking all day... The way he talks has got me.
I love his voice
he dope. check out my homie Push the Soloist. He's a good friend of mine and he was in one of Russ's music videos recently
Ruth LedZ it's the energy, the vibrations. He's super genuine
It’s his confidence!
Remember me too cause I’m gon blow!
damn this was an amazing interview. both the interviewers had done their homework, they were truly interested and engaged, and it created an inspiring and value-filled outcome. props to rap radar and russ!
best interview hands down. this guy's mindset is everything I'm about. I'm gonna work with Russ one day.
Keep it up
Legend in the making...
Leafy Radio hes already a legend he will be here for a while😁😁😁

No one shows up for mine anymore its an open invitation all free.. No love and I still love it
In RUSS we tRUSSt 🙏🏾🕴
We've been teaching ourselves for the past 6 years and this is just more motivation to do the same thing.

Need a part two for sure
Russ will save hip hop
Kendrick did that already wtf you talking about?? lmaoooo
That much is obvious
killer interview guys, awesome questions
Ryan leslie, Hopsin, Jon Bellion all produce mix & master their own music.
Still on
They didn’t do everything their selves AND go platinum tho
3:55 Your debut album needs to be titled "Def Ears." And the whole album would tell your story starting at your first mixtape up to your debut album. No lie.
His voice is amazing ! He’s very talented and his voice calms me down .
Who else is listening to this again in 2019!?🚀🔥
One of the best interviews I've watched in a while. Big ups to you Russ 🙏🏾
I've been telling people this for the longest time. Talk that talk sir.

Re-watching this in 2021 got me hype for what’s coming y’all can’t tell me shit!
RUSS!!!!!!! :) inspiring.
You have to perform upstate russ pleaseee
hopsin mixed, mastered, produced all his own shit and directed his videos. give credit fam.
jesstin couch not all his stuff. and he doesnt have nearly as much content as russ. and he was signed, thats why russ stands out even more. but without the label talk, russ still is right, hopsin didnt produce all his shit

jesstin couch he has other producers listed for his projects. Im not saying he didnt produce all his projects, he did, but he had help on a few which u can find just by looking at credits
TechBrah false
jesstin couch its a fact. Just look it up.
He is a prodigy. I'm calling it now. He WILL be better than Drake. Yung God fr.
Steven Hamilton I totally agree and drake is with a label no respect
Anyone got the link for his song "Back Cave" on 22 minutes?
soccerpoppysmic go on SoundCloud and look up "Russ album" and find the playlist called "straight from limbo" its on there
soccerpoppysmic actually I gotchu holdup
soccerpoppysmic soundcloud.com/metroplexmusic/russ-batcave
You da real MVP bro

jcole has mixed and mastered and made his own beats tho..I still fux wit u hard af tho..
Yeah but he ain’t mixed his vocals and not whole project like Russ
I love everytime he says some analogy they crack up and he stares at them so serious 😂😂 this guy talks some good shit though
Salute 5 popping.

Cool video! I like it
young legend
26:00 - 27:00 so true and so encouraging :3 thanx
rewatch this and study

I didn't see much talent there - if so many people were involved in making it, why does on person get the name? But RUSS? He's the reason rap is good. Independent, consistent, just epic.
even after all his fame and money... he's still passionate about making music. THAT's epic.
39:09 sample hits Russ
"Dr. Dre in a tight thermal." Lmaooo
i agree with russ but i think being humble is how artist last a life time
Working on it
Russ is dope!
You know how long I waited to watch this interview... damn
Get it Russ!!!
Inspiration 101
Nice ride around you mind

Not everyone wants to be number one.
Want to do what I love and get paid

www.blogtalkradio.com/dropagemonem/2016/11/18/the-ras-kass-episode
WWWHHHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He needs to stop saying like...other then that, great artist.
Rhythm & Poetry Is real. so Cuz he says "like" a lot he ain't a good artist? whaaat
Two different points. You need to see the bigger picture. When interviewing saying like that many times, makes you seem...you can decide. Its no reflection of his music.
I say "like" alot as well. It's entirely better than saying "umm".
I love my man Russ, but doesn't PARTYNEXTDOOR mixmaster produce and write his music?
Mikal yaa for the most but he had other producers on p3 and one other on p2
Russ produces, engineers, mixes, and writes all his own music. He talks about it at 26:24.
Brice Van Etten Richardson my comment was a response to his partynextdoor claim
he didn't say he's the only person in the industry that mix, master, produce, etc. their own shit, he's just saying that people in the industry claim to be independant, when in reality there abusing the word.
I always thought he was of Middle Eastern descent.... Sicilian?? Lol
he said psycho 17 times kkkk
my name is abby hall
He talks like Tupac
What are his ex girlfriends instagram?
metro boomin is a good producer
I wonder where drake was at 24/25...
Everything this dude is saying is real.shit, but he apparently dont know about El-P
Russ is a living LEDGE. Work rate is ridiculous
Popoup
yo log off this too much knowledge
I caught a couple subliminal shots at Bryson in this interview.
He’s aight ! But Dude complain damn too much 🙄
