THANK YOU!!!! Business IS personal when someone is trying to f*** you over and it tells you exactly who you're dealing with. There IS a such thing as bad business. This brother is SMART.
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.
I’m so happy you linked up with this young brother. I just started paying attention to him a month ago and for his age he very intelligent and wise. We need to elevate artist like him to give the game balance. Definitely has a bright future.
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 .
@@jamesmcclaren9759 I wouldn’t have felt it personal because business is business it’s not a sleepover at your friends house with people you knew for decades lol this is the devils playground so show up accordingly and don’t look for anything else ;) remember that! If not then go work at Starbucks and you can have weekend off no drama no stress clock in and clock out and no one is trying to fuk you over for coffee lol
It's crazy how talented and business savvy LaRussel is. He inspires me even though I'm much much older than him. He also gives me hope for the future. I gave up on the expectation of ethical business ever since I was 14... He's really making me change a mindset I've had for 21 years. Protect LaRussel at all cost!
Exactly he is business savvy because he understands the business side but it’s not their responsibility to teach you the business… an him saying that he shouldn’t have to check to make sure your money is valid you always have to check behind them with your money we implement emotion into business and that not the right way
Spot on. Owning someone's life is NOTHING like owning a car. The industry is so accustomed to bad business that most people just get in where they fit in because they feel like they don't have the power to change it.
It's great to see the younger generation smarter than the older guys fr. Leaders like him will prevent more slave mindsets. Shout out his pops n da whole team
Less than 10 minutes listening to LARussel. Never knew him, never heard his name before, still don’t know who he is, but I’m a fan now and I’m going to be actively looking for him, his content and his music.
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
I love this. I like how he didn't blame jay but just asked the question of if he knows what's going on in his company. Most people who don't know someone of high status can tell you everything they do behind closed doors.
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.
Stand on ya toes young king I was very impressed with his mindset. His rap was already dope but that connected things for me. Big blessings to u LaRussell
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 love how he corrected math at the end, ppl love comparing some irrelevant shit to ur life value, a fuckin car negotiation has nothing to do with owning a person art and robbing them of just due compensation
@@Mathhoffa because something happens often doesn’t make it right, that was the whole point that homie was making lol..difference of opinion aside love the show and wish y’all the best
Homie sounds educated and/or well surrounded and supported in terms of advice. He came correct in not talking reckless. Whether incompetence mistake or deliberate, he right to step away. Hov should hear that and clean up house if only for reputational
I'm glad I clicked on this video ‼️ respect to this young man for not entering a bad situation ‼️Jay-Z needs to address this. YE started the conversation 🔑💡
SALUTE 2 LARUSSEL. NEVER HEARD HIS MUSIC. BEEN SEEING HIS MOVEMENT THOUGH AND HEARD ABOUT EM. BUT TO HEAR HIS MINDSET ON THIS SITUATION MADE ME A FAN. SALUTE TO THE REAL‼️💯
I hear you Math about separating business from the music but it was Hov who said "I do this for the culture...I'll show you how to move in a room full of vultures". As well as "I'm over charging n*ggas for what they did to the Kold Krush". Salute to the young homie!
@@Bancos87 if you think that then you don’t know Hov, he’s known for and ppl who know him talked about in interviews that he’s known for paying attention to everything, same way with Drake, always ahead of the curve 💯
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!
@@A1isDopee nigga I said what I said go check the numbers the music not connecting it’s a nigga every few years like this he not re creating the wheel and how many unsigned artist got a Charlemagne interview? His formula only work if u get the same looks he got and the music still ain’t relevant his message is 🤡
Yo respect to bro!! Stating factz and I know he will land right because he has the proper perspective on his business!! Wish him all da success he wants !! Salute 🙌🫡
THANK YOU!!!! Business IS personal when someone is trying to f*** you over and it tells you exactly who you're dealing with. There IS a such thing as bad business. This brother is SMART.
Yeah they need to stop trying to justify grime
He too solid for the industry
Stay independent dawg
They want to silence your voice through them contracts
💯🎯
If he stays independent without the backing of a major label then where's his radio, touring and marketing budget gonna come from?
@@HypnoticHollywood, from the same place it comes from through a major label. Major labels drop you if your music doesn't sell.....

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

Watch his show live at the Roxy
Same here
U won’t be disappointed! Best thang since slice bread……..

Same!💪🏾💯
That young man smart And people need to keep an Eye on him. He going places

Facts….this statement is well said!!!💯
Me from the UK. This was a very important conversation concerning the realities of the Business of Music.
It's the first time I've ever heard anyone articulate the evil and predatory business like this.
PROTECT THIS MAN AT ALL COST
This why I love the young generation...they got flaws like all generations but they gotta spirit you can't deny.
I'm a instant fan of LARussell after watching this
I love this. I like how he didn't blame jay but just asked the question of if he knows what's going on in his company. Most people who don't know someone of high status can tell you everything they do behind closed doors.
Dope energy from all of you guys, especially LARUSSELL !
Honestly loved tf outta this interview fs 💪🏾🔥💯
I like this guy already I am a fan and I have not even heard his music. Very intelligent man
Whoa wasn't expecting this! Now I'm hype for the full interview! La Russel is the future of the hip hop shit!
Larussell the truth!! Truly a one of one. Math you killing it!
I Love How He Stand on Everything He Say!
Finally someone frm the Bay 💪🏾
I appreciate this one. Thank you.
Business is definitely personal. That’s one of the biggest misconception in business.
I agree
💯
S/O Math showing the West love. Most other podcast on that end don’t show much love to the West. So salute.
I can’t believe dude said “you shouldn’t take it personal”🤯🤯🤯🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
