Facts bro.

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.

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.

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

This dude is super dope.

I agree it's all about connections, he's telling the truth about that. It's who puts out

one of the realest interviews I've seen in a long time.

Dropping gems. These young artists need to pull out their pen and paper n take notes

This lady interviewing seems hella dry. She asks Russ a question, he responds kinda in a lengthy way. Her response: "Yeahhhhh."

Russ dude just keep doing yo thing! You were the a lotta major artists want to be. Keep the middle man outta of it. Stack yo paper!

Russ is the realest person iv heard talk FRFR

He ain't the first to expose the industry and won't be the last. He is arrogant, but tells the Truth!

Respect his honesty

When he said Linkin Park, I got super happy. Russ, is the realest dude I've seen in the game yet.

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.

The interviewer sounds lost🙄 Nate Dog was that dude!

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

Literally thought about all this yesterday 😂

Came across this guy recently, he did it properly

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’m letting you know what’s going on in the locker room”

Quick question, is his chain Ableton?? Or is it something else??

I could listen to russ all day he seems like a good guy and he speaks facts 💯

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.

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.

All about who you know and who you blow.

Russ is so cool for saying this

love your realness

he is confident because he can be! to me he has earned his respect.

Facts of life 💯💯💯

I mess with him heavy

Watching this is in 2022 is crazy… he had 300 songs back then

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.

He right💯

Often with times, those who keep repeating to others on how real they are, usually aren't.

He speaks the realist shit with the industry!

LOVE THIS DUDE!! SPEAK ON IT BROTHA....PLEASE!

This women wasn't ready for this interview lmao

russ the truth

Russ is the man. I hear the mainstream music today and it is sad as fuck. Keep doing what you doing.

New young PAC when it comes to being real to the people 💥💥💥👍🏿

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” 🌊

I LOVE THIS MAN

Good shit russ keep it 100 im going to listen to u i never have but i respect his mind hes smart and i hope it shows in his music

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 always who you know that means the most

Thank You, Russ.

Yo I feel him it’s like that every where tho even on jobs

Everyone is asking him the questions, it's not like he's bringing it up himself. He speaks the truth people.

This man is waaaay past his age talented af no doubt and waaaay ahead of the interviewer 😂

i love his vibe frfr
