HAHA at first I had forgotten that he was in this track, and reading what you'd written I was like ?🤔???🤨??🙃 And thought you must be trying to make a reference to Russ being white in a black game or something. The I just hear it as Black Thought straight GOES IN like nothing anyone but he could do and it all made sense and I remembered seeing his name in the features within the titlle..... and damn now it makes sense with the beats I never really thought to look into who did the beats for the songs ive heard off this album but nbow it all makes alot more sense. With that said Russ can produce some ill beats himself though there is no denying.

I feel like im in the early 2000s ! bro this is fire !!!!!!!!! the amount of vibes from this. I think Russ achieved an insane positive mind state where his music just becomes golden. Much respect brother, keep it coming !
"CHOMP" is just a big statement from RUSS... For everybody not to forget him in the HIPHOP conversation... Even though he's good at making "money-making songs" he is definitely a superb rapper also, with bars for days and all the other lyricist in the game knows that already, but this is not for them. This is for the other peope, that think that he ain the one with STR8 FIRE BAR$$$$. This whole "CHOMP" drop is a calculated move by RUSS, like everything he does. Mad respect for this guys HUSTLE and SKILL.

Not familiar with Russ but his bars were lit. I love how Benny stays with Black Thought. BT is one of the best lyricist out so that shows me Benny is interested in learning and growing. His bars have been getting better and better.

There isn't a bad verse on this track and EVEN STILL, Black Thought KILLED IT, it's not surprising that Black had that the last verse on the last song of the EP that how you anchor a track.
Thought is the top tier. He is what rappers aspire to. Hes so good that he forces rappers into their prime off a feature and then still steals the track. GOAT
This shit inspires me to another level. I know he has to drop the catchy songs for the women but this the shit that makes me go in the booth and take my craft to another level. This is perfection
Russ nice job getting some real MCs who respect the mic and care about the artform on a cd. Dope man. Keep doing your thing with more artists like this.
I saw this, and had no knowledge of its existence. Yo everybody delivered. Black Thought as always bugged out on this shit. Damn just when I think I heard his dopest bars yet then I hear this, and this is old. The consistency is insane. More people need to put more respect on his name.
Tarik Trotter gotta be on the top 5 alive though for real. He's probably one of your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper. Big ups to Benny The Butcher, too. Spittin real shit, these guys. And nuff respect to Russ for putting so much notable work together so successfully. I hope they all keep doing their thing. Making that momentum swing. Bless up!
You can see the respect that Russ has among other rappers just by the quality of the features he has on his album. Getting a black thought feature is like getting a certified mc stamp on your track. This shit is so dope.

This what real rap sounds like. My favorite type of tracks, a beat that’ll make you nod your, bars that’ll have u stuck with a stank face & oh yeah BARS.

His flow is so effortless and hard at the same time...
i literally had to cover my face and shake my head halfway through his verse and then he just kept killin
On top off that, he's on the same level when he performs live.. The Roots, Mef & Red are the best live artists in Hip-Hop!

[Intro: Russ]
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Russ]
Don’t compare me to employees who hopin' they see a check
I’m in a drop top McLaren just hopin' I see an ex
She hopin' we reconnect, no chance
I’m tryna be bigger than the Beatles, not hold hands
Keep on throwing stones, I'ma make statues
No face tats, but people got my face tattooed
Freeing the damned by being free as I am
And speaking belief into people sittin' with reason to stand
Who just might be needing a hand, I got you
9th Wonder blessed, provided the gospel
I feel God-like, my fans all feel like apostles
Model your mind after mine and you gon' be just fine
Model your mind off these other guys and you gon' die
That’s why I’m always at the head of the table, follow my lead
I'm a money tree, women tryna swallow my seed
You wasn’t with me at my roots, though
I’ve been on a quest for love for women with a Roots fro
And potential like a JUCO
Athlete, catch me in the backseat with ass cheeks on my lap
We in Utah, so we fuck to a jazz beat
It’s actually therapeutic, she classy, I’m Ferris Bueller
Swimming out in Turks and Caicos, beware of the barracudas
I got heart, I’m the cause, my life is just the effect
I’m altering my reality, living in VFX
Made a half million dollars, then fell asleep on a jet
Fuck the club up, Atlanta ain’t seen this since BMF
Told my accountant, "Reinvest," gotta pound of weed for stress
I might drop two platinum albums in a year like DMX
Keep on living in my light and let my faith just lead the way
'Cause if I’m taking y'alls advice, I’m probably making y’alls mistakes
Instead, I’m out in Egypt, just baskin in the results
Of listening to myself and mappin' out all my goals, uh
My career is a course in self-confidence
And how ownership leads to opulence, adjust your oculus
If you tryna rise to prominence
Bust down the doors, assert dominance when you call your first conference
I’m honest with my women, that’s probably why they all hate me
They focused on bein' Lori, I’m focused on bein' Jay-Z
The run that I’m on is gonna be longer than the Euphrates
Gotta super model chick that’s badder than Tom Brady’s
Rap game bunch of clowns in disguise like John Gacy
You got one plaque, and it’s not even your song, I got eighty
Lately, y’all are lazy, waitin' to be carried
Lotta y’all are dead, you just waitin to be buried
Listen, I’ve been hot since Michelle and Barack
You out your mind if you think I’m gon' stop, ha
[Chorus: Russ]
I didn't come this far to only come this far
I gotta, keep momentum swingin', keep momentum swingin'
I didn't come this far to only come this far
I gotta, keep momentum swingin', keep momentum swingin'
[Verse 2: Benny The Butcher]
Conversation alone in the mirror (Uh-huh)
I told myself before the year up (Before this year over)
I'd be another homeowner and another millionaire, uh (Facts)
My life crazy, but I'm way too busy to tear up (Too busy)
Just please keep them broke vibes from near us (Walk away from me)
We different, I'm not the one to converse (Uh-huh)
By the time you mumble your verse
I'll be in top five company, comfortably, gunnin' for first (First)
If it's rap or either trap, one gon' come with some perks
The other comin' with a six foot hole dug in the earth (Damn)
Look, I know how them numbers lookin', I don't gotta check stats (I don't do that)
The pussy good, but I'll still never text back (Nah)
Being unsigned ain't never changed my potential
With every wave of a pencil, a nigga gaining momentum
Wanna walk in my shoes, but I'm not trading my Christians
For Crocs (Never) but lil' rap niggas only cravin' attention
It's funny when you hot (Funny, uh), but it's ugly when you not
Everybody doubt, then suddenly you pop (Pop)
Niggas sign them 360s, and hope it do something for their stock
But I turned on more money than I got, and that's a lot
Had patience and it helped, I remember thinkin', "Make it big"
Then decorate the crib with paintings of myself
'Cause that who I owe (That's who)
You gotta give yourself credit, they definitely won't (They won't give you shit)
You won't hear this flow so often, so treasure these quotes
As far as cheddar, we know enough plugs with bricks
That I'd probably never be broke
I'm used to not gettin' sleep, that's a twenty-four hour business
Exercisin' my brain like 24 Hour Fitness
Haters look at my jewels, get the feel of resentment
Feelin' like I'm 'posed to buy they friendship (What?)
I remember sellin' merch dolo, mailin' my own shipment (Dolo)
Now I'm on, y'all hoes thinks it's Christmas
Am I the one trippin'? (Me?) even if you think you this nice
It's gon' be hard, try to match my ambition
I'm goin' on a rampage, handguns and champagne
House need a damn maid, my watch need a lampshade
Body language everything, read what my hands say (Read what my hands say)
I'll go a little slower if you need me to translate (Need me to translate)
Boss moves, keep options, that's how you plan safe
Just sealed the deal for a hundred with a handshake
Weighin' out the racks, a hustler who really made it out with rap
With the jewels in the bank accounts to match
The Butcher
Chorus: Russ]
I didn't come this far to only come this far
I gotta, keep momentum swingin', keep momentum swingin'
I didn't come this far to only come this far
I gotta, keep momentum swingin', keep momentum swingin'
[Verse 3: Black Thought]
Yo, when I first started recording, I swear it was more important
To make it to Soul Train and a gold chain and some Jordans
Than makin' my own lane and then blaze in the trail forward
But I came from the old days where the vision was too distorted
To come to an understanding, a partnership and plannin'
For your marketin' and brandin', though the office was abandoned
Am I surprised? I'm monetized like more Morgan Stanley
I'm in a position now to make a difference for the family
My wife, kids, and in-laws deserve Renoirs
Picassos and Warhols distressing my memoirs
About the knowledge of experiences I've endured
Create the bars, full of information like SIM cards
I left court rooms as a defendant, fully acquitted
In spite of the bloodsuckers who try sully my image
And fightin' with motherfuckers who tried to tell me I'm finished
As if I'd ever consider the sky above as a limit
When I am the scientific, my honor, I'm dying with 'em
Iconic, gifted, it's rare and requires a fairly different
Kind of spirit, far as inner feelings, I ain't tryna hear it
Bein' fearless how I'm pioneered into a higher tier
If I am peerless, I guess I am here 'cause ain't nobody near me
On a pyramid and I'm adhering to the game theory
I maintain, momentum and I made a name clearly
But I can't stop, I believe it's no rest for the wary
From the cards I was dealt, to awards on my shelf
I turned scars to a sense of regard for myself
Based on where I set the bar, I made it hard for myself
I lent the hand before my brothers called for my help
When I was still an inspiring, gun right for the firing
Tryna find a part-time job site that was hirin'
Never concerned with the age or the height requirements
Tryna shake the ways of the hood, like the violence
Watchin' the homies being forced into early retirement
I'm stuck as another product of their environment
I was told that achievement of goal starts to tryin' at
The prize, keep your eye on the hard work, rely on it
And nothing else, don't just hustle for your health
Fear they gon' do nothing for you until you secure your wealth
Focus on the top, I've been hot since before crack rock
You out your mind if you think I'ma stop, yo
Chorus: Russ]
I didn't come this far to only come this far
I gotta, keep momentum swingin', keep momentum swingin'
I didn't come this far to only come this far
I gotta, keep momentum swingin', keep momentum swingin'

Man, I've been sleeping on Russ, tbh was only here for Benny and Black Thought but damn Russ got bars 🔥🥵

BLACK THOUGHT 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not familiar with Russ but his bars were lit. I love how Benny stays with Black Thought. BT is one of the best lyricist out so that shows me Benny is interested in learning and growing. His bars have been getting better and better.
Did u listen to Tana talk 3 or plugs I met. Nigga been high caliber
@@jerome49465 I have. And I agree with you. I just like how he’s surrounding himself with the best to do it.
Black Thought tho😯😯🔥🔥🔥🔥😬
I wish black thought's verse wouldn't stop.
That loop gives this song the whole nostalgia factor
Produced by 9th Wonder one of the goats!!!
9th Wonder is a god tier producer
Russ /Benny /and Black thought bodied this 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

There have been about 107 Billion who have lived on Earth, and none of them raps as good as Black Thought.

@@russ9387 the audacity
I wasn't even checkin' for Russ until this track. I'll listen to anything with Thought, Benny, and 9th Wonder on it. Russ holds his own too.
Benny got on this track fully knowing that Black Thought would burn the booth down. CRAZY RESPECT to Benny and Russ for this move!!!!!
Russ and Benny never stood a chance... Black Thought the 🐐
Lol.
@Dickrider Police fr it’s lame. Russ and Benny held their own
Not one chance.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
There isn't a bad verse on this track and EVEN STILL, Black Thought KILLED IT, it's not surprising that Black had that the last verse on the last song of the EP that how you anchor a track.
Black Thought is insane 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Russ brought damn near brought all the Hip Hop Heavyweights and Legends on this EP. He really did it for the culture with this project.
This giving some 00's nostalgia vibes
Your age is showing... 🤣
Black Thought's verse is incredible. So inspirational. So many quotables.
Black Thought just casually dropped the greatest verse of all time on this track most will never hear…
Thought is the top tier. He is what rappers aspire to. Hes so good that he forces rappers into their prime off a feature and then still steals the track. GOAT
"Keep on throwing stones, I'ma make statues
No face tats but people got my face tattooed" sheesh... 😳🔥🔥🔥🔥
Just fuckin awesome!
It's a statement no? Bars not to clever .. no hate just saying.
Listeeeeen all three of them brung it, but Black Thought is just NOT HUMAN, period.😩😩
The QuestLove and Roots reference with Black Thought on the track is why Russ is where Russ is.
Motivation for all the real men trying to accomplish a goal
"Im a money tree, women wana swallow my seed, you wasnt with me at my roots tho"
Like a triple 👌👌
As I was reading this, he was spitting the line at the same time
Also right after “I’m on a quest for love” questlove was part of the roots with black thought
Such a fire bar
@@chrismalinowski654 still is!
The beat! The bars! Its so incredible and refreshing to hear real rappers really rapping! It hurts my soul that this is not the mainstream anymore.
Solid EP Russ, salute homie.
Black Thought has the best verse every song he’s on
So true
th-cam.com/video/8To3D10xuWQ/w-d-xo.html
Listen again. Try to comprehend Black thought. Rethink this post.
Fax. Only exception was Super Lyrical with Big Pun
@Carter Drake foh🤣
one of the hardest beats to come out of the past decade at least, nice job 9th Wonder
fr i need that sample tho
Cap. Griselda got throwaways from alchemist or daringer doper than this 9th made this in his sleep
This shit inspires me to another level. I know he has to drop the catchy songs for the women but this the shit that makes me go in the booth and take my craft to another level. This is perfection
Thought with one the greatest verses ever
Agreed.

This Man Only Make Fire
You ain’t lyin
The real fucking tribute. THANK YOU FOR KEEPING REAL HIP-HOP #ALIVE my dude knows whats going on
Russ won me over with this latest project!!! Dude can go!
That black thought verse tho 🚀🚀🚀🚀
Because he's a freakin alien
Russ nice job getting some real MCs who respect the mic and care about the artform on a cd. Dope man. Keep doing your thing with more artists like this.
I saw this, and had no knowledge of its existence. Yo everybody delivered. Black Thought as always bugged out on this shit. Damn just when I think I heard his dopest bars yet then I hear this, and this is old. The consistency is insane. More people need to put more respect on his name.
Tarik Trotter gotta be on the top 5 alive though for real. He's probably one of your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper. Big ups to Benny The Butcher, too. Spittin real shit, these guys. And nuff respect to Russ for putting so much notable work together so successfully. I hope they all keep doing their thing. Making that momentum swing. Bless up!
You can see the respect that Russ has among other rappers just by the quality of the features he has on his album. Getting a black thought feature is like getting a certified mc stamp on your track. This shit is so dope.
Model your mind off mine, you gone be just fine.... #truth

Sample is just amazing, cant stop listening
The "I'm on a pyramid adhering to game theory." Is some scientific ass bars. That man is literally a genius
I turned scars to a sense of regard for myself...keep momentum swingen. I never asked anyone's permission to be an artist. I live in the world of internet where the people tell me I am. I know I am. Russ thank you. Your music scraped me off the floor over and over. Maybe some day you will see the art that came to be because you shed a light on a path of possible.
This has literally been on repeat for days now
Black Thought I will never forget this verse💪🏽
I thought Benny killed it until I got middway through Black Thoughts verse
..r u Kidding me
It's as if he hit a couple stretches where everywhere syllable in one bar rhymed with every syllable in the next three bars.
That’s what it always feels like when Black Thought is on somebody else’s track...
Bro Russ's verse was crazy too tho
@@ToAsTOnDeck man after thoughts verse i thought him and benny were the only two on the song
@@rapartist9309 Russ had a better verse than Benny on this imo.
The love I have for this man is unexplainable he showed them he could do it and is on top keep going Russ! 🥳
Damn thought I'm mesmerized by the best rapper ever
“Turned down more money than what i got” 💪🏼
AND THATS A LOT
Everyone snapped. This that underdogs "3-Kings" they should have named it that
Benny the Butcher, Russ, Black Thought on deck Fire 🔥
Russ got the butcher & the thought on a song?!? That's a big move.
dont forget 9th wonder on the beat, issa classic

he’s in good with a lot of artists. They respect his getting it on his own.
Said the exact same thing when I saw this
Dudes deep in there
finally something to listen to....,
just pure skills,
no mumbling,
just pure lyricisim
Russ has really changed my view of him these past few years Kudos to you for growing. These are masterpiece tracks, coming from a tough critic!!

Lord forgive me for sleeping on Russ. I think for the past day or two, I been binge listening to all your music. I love it!!! I have not heard a beat or song that I am not feeling....thank you for the music Russ.
It's actually therapeutic, she classy, I'm Ferris Bueller.
Benny dropped some spooky prophetic 2pac verses yo.....😳🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Swimming out in Turks and Caicos, beware of the barracudas!
Russ had a better verse than Benny on this tbh
@@ToAsTOnDeck outta ya mind! Russ did his thing no question but bar for bar Benny won
@@Blueheffner11 nahh. Russ had more memorable lines.
Damn. Bars. I'm impressed with Benny's ability to not explicitly reference guns or drugs and still body his verse. Well orchestrated, Russ.
Blown away by the project. I got mad respect for Russ
Russ and benny killed it but you see that guy black thought.. he is on a diff lebel💯
My top 5 rappers are:
1) Black Thought
2) Bad Lieutenant
3) Riq Geez
4) Tariq Trotter
5) The man from The Roots Crew
6. The talented Mr. Trotter
7. Monarch of Melanin
You forgot Drake?
The emperor of the fifth dynasty!!
8) Reek Ruffin
I'd put the rapper from the Tonight Show up there but that's just me.
I keep coming back here🔥🔥🔥
I turned scars into a sense of regard for myself.
This what real rap sounds like. My favorite type of tracks, a beat that’ll make you nod your, bars that’ll have u stuck with a stank face & oh yeah BARS.
He really got the two guys with the top two albums of the year on one song 🤧
This actually...happened. Wow. I'm stumped for words. This collabo HARD sun!!!!!!!!
this is just quite literally a perfect record
"The Prize keep your eye on it, Hard work rely on it"... This is so significant!
CAN RUSS EVER COOL OFF??? SHEESH FIRE

Perfect example of what happens when talent meets the pay off from hard work.
Russ has done it again! Another great album! Very well done, keep em comin!
Thought is a true master of the craft. His pen and delivery are top tier
Only other MC missing from this 🔥 EP is AZ. If you know, you know. 💯
Russ, Benny, Black, and 9th.... STRAIGHT FLAMESSS!
