LA Russell has a force of energy that is being cultivated in a realm away from the "stars" in the industry. With the right push and at the rate he's going, he'll be a force to be reckoned with in the near future .

I like dudes view on a deal. Just becuz everybody is used to getting bad deals don't mean you should approach him on that same type and expect him to grab. If more of us did that we could lift the bar on the game.

He's right, we shouldn't be USED to this. The music industry doesn't HAVE to be preditorial and unfair to the artist. It was structured like that over 100 years ago by the Italians and the Jewish communities that owned and controlled the entertainment industry. They've been taking advantage of us since day one. Now we're doing it to each other, and we say "ITS JUST BUSINESS" No we can change that, like Clarence Avont did.

They only smarter now because of those who came before you. At some point folks didn’t know fire was hot until someone touched it and got burned.

6:20 that was fire. And salute to Grafh for quickly changing his stance when he saw LA's point. Great convo

It's the first time I've ever heard anyone articulate the evil and predatory business like this.

Why Math Keep Telling him it's Business and Making that Apples to Oranges Comp about a Car negotiation. Clearly he's being the Change he wants to see, even if it Takes a Little Longer. Shout Out to Larussell keep Standing on your Square!!!

My Nephew put me up on this young man, I've been watching at a distance ever since, but this interview right here, this solidifies what I felt I was seeing. This young man has more wisdom than most twice as old as him. Just on that fact, you gain an asset who will enrich your label and greatly expand your brand when you sign him, his fan base is as he is, your entire atmosphere changes, thereby changing the operating environment.

Either knowingly or unknowingly, Math is revealing his acceptance and desire to participate in the predatory side of the hip-hop game, with each passing interview. That's crazy because he he's only experienced a small taste of success. Imagine if the big big bag came his way. He might start demanding 50% of each haircut the takes place in that barbershop.

Dope energy from all of you guys, especially LARUSSELL !

The energy and intellect with which you keep it. One man is talkin about legacy and how you can commoditize art successfully without the f^ckery… and for the most part is proving it to be true in his rise to prominence in the game. The other keeps saying “it’s business don’t take it personal”. Quote: “That’s a f^cking car my Nigga. These are not the same”. Niggas will sell they people out for a bag all the while poppin that “it’s just business” bs. Business on some level will always be personal and it should be. Maybe if niggas thought more about how personal it can get… they’d do better business.

This man is smart! They basically tried to trick him and he caught it. That should be taken personal even if it is “standard business practice” to intentionally put incorrect Information in a document. Is this done to test if an artist reads the contract? Now there is no trust and never will be!

Need more men like this in the game.
