I think this dude had expectations after he made it, and he's just expressing his disappointments. The way he expresses it pisses people off. But he's not wrong. And he's not wrong about the way pop culture is moving. It's all moving to popularize drugs. Which is crazy.
Collin Zirnheld it’s not just drugs. It’s sinning of every kind. And you don’t have to be a bible thumping Christian or even religious to get what I’m saying... they promote and romanticize a sinful lifestyle of all material and zero substance. Women, money, cars, fashion, drugs, guns, jewelry, crime, new, new, new etc. Its all turning into being about how terrible or a person you can be
Russ is a real ass dude. He speaks his mind and his passion bleeds through his music and how he takes care of family and his true fans. One of a small circle making good hip hop music in 2018.
UnCommon The Rapper work on your delivery, sounds like you’re reading off the paper or whatever you got your raps on. No disrespect just some constructive criticism
Lol go watch his montreality interview from awhile back and tell me how “real” he is if you can actually finish the video and handle all of the cringe (I couldn’t).
Mac Miller's true fans are binging on his music right now and complementing his artistry with specifics. Not saying r.i.p just to get likes. We know who we are
yeah and russ isn't talking about Mac's "true fans". Russ is simply saying what every other artist is too scared to say... Every body wishes for "rest" in peace, Russ is questioning for "life/live" in peace but they don't get clicks for that. It isn't hard to comprehend the difference. I don't understand the point in being so defensive tho, If you know who you are as "true fans" than you would understand he's trying to seperate those from leaches, "figure out what side of the fence you're on"...
Respect to Russ for his analysis of why Mac Miller and people who use drugs use them in the first place. The internet is a dangerous place where no one has to accept responsibility. He also touched on the people who dismissed Mac Miller's talent during the release of Astroworld and then came around when he passed. RIP Mac.
If something happens to him, God forbid, people will share interviews like this and say “oh my god he was so right. He will be missed rip.” F all of that. What he is saying is right, don’t diss him because you don’t get it.
Russ makes the most chill and soothing music. Has good bars, good beats, good vocals. He’s really just cut from a different cloth. Not for everyone, but he makes songs that never get old.
Regardless of what ya'll think of him as a person, he made it & has plaques and sold out tour videos to show for that. Most of the people hating on him wish they could be in his position. Find advice in some of the things he says & you just might find yourself in the same position of success if not better
He is saying real stuff, but he has traits of people that I can’t get behind. He isn’t very agreeable. As in my way or the highway. He also strikes me as the self made guy that shits on the guy with a boss. He has a real message, but the way he communicates is gonna be a problem for him forever. That’s tough man.
Jordan Peterson said "Don't be agreeable" research who he is he will change your life. He is a Professor who makes more than people within his field and more than Russ and many rappers on a regular basis. Russ's delivery is quite harsh so people see him as arrogant because he may lack eloquence but we have an intellectual who preaches what Russ does. That says a lot. A lot of times we want people to like us. Russ doesn't care adopting his shadow self so to speak. This is a very dominant position. Sort of Napolean haha who was average actually by today standard but it relates to Russ personality and small frame. His personality does shift him and in that industry it ain't going to work. Too much politics but this is life not only in this field. If his delivery showed more humility people would ride by it.
JJ Lee that’s it! It’s alwaysssss the way you say things not what you’re saying! If people don’t like the way you’re coming off they’re gonna ignore your message
I love Russ for speaking the truth. People wanted to confuse truth with hate because they ain't ready for it. He's always part of his creative process on his music and that's a real deal. Keep it up and stand always for the truth bud.
Intelligent enough to know what’s right for him is right for him but too caught up in himself that he thinks what’s right for him is right for everyone else.
Thank you Ebro in the Morning for challenging Russ on his generality ramblings about a small percentage of the industry. Very solid interview. We hear you Russ....
He needs to talk to people as if they are on his level instead of acting like he is on some level no one else is at for people to be receptive of what he is saying. Until he learns to do that he will continue to get hate.
nope he doesn't have to appeal to snowflakes or anyone, he can continue to act how he wants to, but the dude comes off as extremely narcissistic and won't hear out anyone's opinion that differs from his. He acts like he is the god of rap and he just entered the space, he is going to act how he wants to, but at the end of the day this attitude he has will burn many bridges in the game and will screw him in the future.
He needs to start learning how to take advice lol everytime someone tries giving him advice he shuts them down by saying "you dont understand" lol no they do understand they just giving you their take on it
I like his perspective on life, he's very mature for a 26 year old! I can't front, I've heard of Russ, but never listened to his music, I'll definitely check it out now, DOPE interview, Word!
Cal Oconnor I understand that, but you can have that mentality internally...those who are the most confident in themselves don’t have to let you know about it every 2 minutes
Ian Williams other rappers do it when they flash money and talk about how they fucked your girl but it's a issue when someone is vocal about it in interviews? I don't understand
Keen Apollo flashing money doesn’t equate to shitting on other people and saying you live a superior life to others. It’s a materialistic thing. When EVERY thing you say is always about yourself and shitting on others (what Russ does)...it’s says much more about you as a person than flashing some money does
When rosenberg said I know many people in this industry that have not become assholes, but that's not the point russ made. It still has a huge impact on your mental health. All our favourite artists have gone through it
You could tell Ebro, Rosenberg And Laura styles were not having it. Russ' confidence and "arrogance" made them feel out of place. I peep when Russ starts interviewing Russ, like that first interview on complex.
I love everything he said. He keeps it real . And I understand where he's coming from. I love how outspoken he is and keeps it real. And for that total respect to Russ. Seeing how happy and excited he was in the ending talking about how he got Ross & Snoop on his track was cool. Like a dream come true.
Thank you Russ!!!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😎👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾I was sayin the same thing about Mac. this guy really knows what's up. respect to him 👏🏾👌🏾💛❤
I am so appreciative and grateful for this young man’s unapologetic authenticity and especially for bringing up mental wellness. DON’T EVER CHANGE YOUNG MAN NO MATTER WHO OR WHAT!
his voice is beautiful and I honestly applaud him for saying I'm walking away from this Becaue social media isn't going to drive me to kill myself, its not him it's not him takes a strong person
"ZOO" is one of the most complete albums to come out this year and is easily one of the top 5 albums of this year. (Btw thanks for the B-Day presents much appreciated).
Black men are jealous of Russ. They're embarassedd that a white man is one of the few rappers right now that isn't doing muble rap, actually cares about lyrics and includes black women in his video.
I've worked with Russ. I was a director of an interview he did back in 2016. He definitely is very self absorbed and although I am a fan, he does belittle others especially behind the scenes. He has great message but he has to understand that he can express his emotions through a calmer more positive outlook instead of spreading alot of negativity. If he spoke like Cole or Kendrick, reserved and real, people would listen more. Otherwise it feels bitter
Let’s face it, even though depression and addiction are (very) real things, alot of people are using it as a crutch. It’s fashionable to be depressed/drugged out right now. Pop culture sensationalizes drugs; consciously or not. These are the consequences of that.
Russ is genuine, real, authentic, and is always trying to teach common sense and real life human values. People need to get off their stupid high horse and understand that this man is living His Truth. Two thumbs up for Russ!!!
Dude the Richard Sherman Jalen Ramsay of Rap😂 Y’all mad he doesn’t hold his tongue about his peers and accolades and events 😂🤷♂️ and you guys don’t want him to be just like YOU or say things just like YOU would say it 😂😂 This is why we are INDIVIDUALS 😂 it’s a reason why all 7 billion people aren’t the exact same 🤷♂️
Thank you for your contribution russ! R.i.p mac miller i loved kids and i loved blue slide park i never thought you would be gone not like this and im tired of loosing good artist to drugs and guns we cant make another mac ive been playing you latest album since it dropped wish i got to actually meet you maybe in another life.
I agree, his age and immaturity level is showing through his defensiveness. It's like a boy going through puberty and just doesn't quite understand how to "grasp" the changes.
Russ is jaded. He needs to take the negatives and figure out a way to flip it and turn it into a positive. He's made it this far through hard work and dedication. Through consistency and determination. Instead of saying "I'm out" he should say" I'm going to start a record label with like minded people who are into building the generation up and teaching them about focusing on the music and not getting caught up in the glamour. Focusing in on sustaining wealth...
If someone really wants to do what he does then all they need to do is listen to his music. He literally give a blueprint for his story because he HAD to with the amount he puts out and he only talks about his life
Favorite comments on TH-cam "so and so shouldn't operate like that, they should operate like this" once you get some more views bro you might understand that you have to assimilate into the industry. you can't make your own side industry and be ultra successful. you could do your own thing and get to a level that he's at. He's saying he doesn't want to f*** with the industry anymore for his own spiritual reasons, let the man be.
he's doing the only positive thing he knows and that's distancing himself from the negativity of how b******* hip-hop is these days. Old head when was the last time you went to a little pump show? You think he should embrace and sell his soul to get a collab with Nicki or cardi B get the f*** out of here. Be up there singing and dancing with Drake? Get the f*** out of here.
People on Twitter literally told him when X died "Wished it was you"... I'm not really a fan or anything, and i don't get why he gets all the hate, but that's legit fucked up
The greatest name ever I understood that point he made and I agree with it, I was just taken back when he was talking to ebro with an attitude when he was on his side...
Russ is a kind of guy who likes to hear himself talk. He doesn't really listen to the words coming out of his mouth, sometimes that's good because he is honest, but a lot of times he spews bullshit from a place where he doesn't understand. He wouldn't know a real struggle if he was tied between two bulls pulling opposite directions.
They weren't ready for Russ. They've been in the business so long they can't see straight anymore. I'm a singer and I've been afraid of the business for a long time. Just discovered Russ today and I'm already a fan.
Russ is done. Mac Miller’s death got to him. I’m glad he’s speaking about it too. He’s giving the message this generation needs to hear. Not so much the hate but to understand that drugs need to stop being promoted so openly.
I do agree that the internet can be cruel but then again celebrities get so gassed up that when someone says something as simple "i dont like this album" they consider it as hate.
Russ is right. But he can protect himself more and learn how to not let people’s opinions get to him. Meditation can help with keeping yourself centered. Don’t ignore the hate, but don’t absorb it. There are definitely negative repercussions from social media, and I’m glad Russ is talking about it.
C O L D C L O A K really think about what you're asking. People can barely stand up to 3 people that dish negative comments...compared to millions of people sending Ls, hate and death threats daily it's just not the same bro
People don’t understand how serious these drugs are , too many artists and everyday people are dying. So his aggressiveness and passion about it should be heard because these kids really believe it’s cool . His message is about the youth and more people should care and stop looking at people who talk like him and address situations the way he do as him being to aggressive or self-centered or taking hisself to serious. This is something he is passionate about and i like that because it’s about the youth and the development of them.
I really like Russ' music, been listening for a few years now. Love it, love his message. But I see where the hate comes from. Sorry bro but you don't go on someone's radio show and go "nananannananna" when your host tries to voice his opinion. Russ one of those guys that you can't have a civil discussion with because he just want to hear himself talking. You gotta come at an issue with respect for the opposition, or else no one will respect what you got to say
He acts like he has problems with people criticizing him but he keeps randomly criticizing things other people do (move to LA, etc). Why is he so worried about what other people are doing that doesn’t affect you? I always find that type of behavior strange
hoop4ah23 those things other people are doing (moving to LA, etc) is the forefront of the culture. they impact it and it affects everything (the youth / lost souls that he seems to care about) mostly negatively. they look at that glamourized lifestyle as the cool thing to do (current pop / mainstream narrative in society)
hoop4ah23 Its not strange he just really wants the world to be better simple as that. No matter how he comes off he says the things he says because he knows the outcome of all this.
I stumbled upon this randomly, and, I have to say, he is speaking from a place of love and passion. And to piggy back off of another comment, yes, he is totally right. And God forbid anything negative or harmful come his way. Because everyone will sift thru interviews, and will see it too late. I could watch this guy speak and hit so many topics, for hrs. He is very clearminded about the internets, ppls perspectives, bullying and depression and addiction. For him to be that clear, I hope for his msg to keep reaching others. I'm 34. My son is 15. My son will probably get entangled into all this bullshit. Props to russ. Great guy.
I think this dude had expectations after he made it, and he's just expressing his disappointments. The way he expresses it pisses people off. But he's not wrong. And he's not wrong about the way pop culture is moving. It's all moving to popularize drugs. Which is crazy.

When you conscious you should be mad.
this is the most accurate comment on here, my thoughts 100%

You niggas are weird. How is he any way NOT being positive. Y'all just insecure as hell fam. That's just it. He's confident and you wish you were too.
Intelligent enough to know what’s right for him is right for him but too caught up in himself that he thinks what’s right for him is right for everyone else.
Great Point!!!
He never said that ... at all . He said he PERSONALLY doesn’t want to do music anymore he never said anyone else

Yo im at 25:40 right now and had to take a break and scroll down.. this guy is super defensive for no reason..
I agree, his age and immaturity level is showing through his defensiveness. It's like a boy going through puberty and just doesn't quite understand how to "grasp" the changes.
Twice. Tbh
Russ is jaded. He needs to take the negatives and figure out a way to flip it and turn it into a positive. He's made it this far through hard work and dedication. Through consistency and determination. Instead of saying "I'm out" he should say" I'm going to start a record label with like minded people who are into building the generation up and teaching them about focusing on the music and not getting caught up in the glamour. Focusing in on sustaining wealth...
Exactly bro!!!
If someone really wants to do what he does then all they need to do is listen to his music. He literally give a blueprint for his story because he HAD to with the amount he puts out and he only talks about his life
Favorite comments on TH-cam "so and so shouldn't operate like that, they should operate like this" once you get some more views bro you might understand that you have to assimilate into the industry. you can't make your own side industry and be ultra successful. you could do your own thing and get to a level that he's at. He's saying he doesn't want to f*** with the industry anymore for his own spiritual reasons, let the man be.
He going strive off industry drama your all blind he Jersey shores of hiphop
he's doing the only positive thing he knows and that's distancing himself from the negativity of how b******* hip-hop is these days. Old head when was the last time you went to a little pump show? You think he should embrace and sell his soul to get a collab with Nicki or cardi B get the f*** out of here. Be up there singing and dancing with Drake? Get the f*** out of here.
Russ speaks the truth and facts!!! And the music is 🔥🔥🔥
I 100% agree with what Russ said about how we have to hold internet responsible for Mac Miller’s passing.
Ya was on point with this joint. Really brought Russ around in that circle. Real smooth, thats experience.
I get Russ is frustrated and I understand kind of why, but he came in with a nasty attitude with a chip on his shoulder :/
People on Twitter literally told him when X died "Wished it was you"... I'm not really a fan or anything, and i don't get why he gets all the hate, but that's legit fucked up
You have to though when thousands dislike you and hate your music when its actually good, its all perspective
The greatest name ever I understood that point he made and I agree with it, I was just taken back when he was talking to ebro with an attitude when he was on his side...
shan r that’s his personality. He has a chip on his shoulder. Like the underdog mentality or don’t. He deserves everything he has right now.
What else is new lol
I think Americans perceive Russ they way the rest of the world perceives Americans...
Geniusely spot on
Elaborate? I genuinely wanna know what you mean
kingcash Top of the world-mentality. Good or bad, depends on one’s perspective🤷🏽♀️
So fat and lazy? Yeah this comment doesn’t work...
Or land and culture thieves?
Russ is a kind of guy who likes to hear himself talk. He doesn't really listen to the words coming out of his mouth, sometimes that's good because he is honest, but a lot of times he spews bullshit from a place where he doesn't understand. He wouldn't know a real struggle if he was tied between two bulls pulling opposite directions.
So ur saying 10 years doing it all yourself isn't real struggle? If you saying that, you simply can't comprehend how much work goes into that.
I mean this entire interview he was pretty damn level headed, so what are you referring to?
Yawn
They weren't ready for Russ. They've been in the business so long they can't see straight anymore. I'm a singer and I've been afraid of the business for a long time. Just discovered Russ today and I'm already a fan.
I wish u the best in your musical career I mean that follow your dreams
@@Mikethemightydebo Thank you so much!!! I will follow them. I will chase them down
love you russ ! your a beast ! and for the record , RIP mac miller , fan since "another night " mac will always be my favorite
I agree with Russ %100 he’s very realistic & a lot ppl are threatened by that
Y’all like all these mumble rappers but hate Russ? Stopppppp
Why everybody hate Russ? Even Chris is confuse
Answer: Stupid trends, people are sheep, and constantly low-balling the good artists for fun.
@@Power-9Hunnid his ego, watered down Drake music, and it's a meme.
KingCharlez and that's why I said stupid trends. Now when a person drops music its automatically trash but don't listen to the music.
@@Power-9Hunnid guess you just don't get it
I
Artists are more popular on instagram than on Spotify damn 🤔🤔
Russ is done. Mac Miller’s death got to him. I’m glad he’s speaking about it too. He’s giving the message this generation needs to hear. Not so much the hate but to understand that drugs need to stop being promoted so openly.
I like Russ I got kids he puts out a good message about drugs I respect that
Drugs are not the evil you think they are.
I do agree that the internet can be cruel but then again celebrities get so gassed up that when someone says something as simple "i dont like this album" they consider it as hate.
Russ is right. But he can protect himself more and learn how to not let people’s opinions get to him. Meditation can help with keeping yourself centered. Don’t ignore the hate, but don’t absorb it. There are definitely negative repercussions from social media, and I’m glad Russ is talking about it.
C O L D C L O A K really think about what you're asking. People can barely stand up to 3 people that dish negative comments...compared to millions of people sending Ls, hate and death threats daily it's just not the same bro
REALLY ENJOYED THIS INTERVIEW WATCHING IT IN SOUTH AFRICA 🙏
People don’t understand how serious these drugs are , too many artists and everyday people are dying. So his aggressiveness and passion about it should be heard because these kids really believe it’s cool . His message is about the youth and more people should care and stop looking at people who talk like him and address situations the way he do as him being to aggressive or self-centered or taking hisself to serious. This is something he is passionate about and i like that because it’s about the youth and the development of them.
I really like Russ' music, been listening for a few years now. Love it, love his message. But I see where the hate comes from. Sorry bro but you don't go on someone's radio show and go "nananannananna" when your host tries to voice his opinion. Russ one of those guys that you can't have a civil discussion with because he just want to hear himself talking. You gotta come at an issue with respect for the opposition, or else no one will respect what you got to say
Yup sometimes we was waiting to talk instead of listening
He acts like he has problems with people criticizing him but he keeps randomly criticizing things other people do (move to LA, etc). Why is he so worried about what other people are doing that doesn’t affect you? I always find that type of behavior strange
hoop4ah23 those things other people are doing (moving to LA, etc) is the forefront of the culture. they impact it and it affects everything (the youth / lost souls that he seems to care about) mostly negatively. they look at that glamourized lifestyle as the cool thing to do (current pop / mainstream narrative in society)
hoop4ah23 Its not strange he just really wants the world to be better simple as that. No matter how he comes off he says the things he says because he knows the outcome of all this.
I think you find..."that type of behavior strange"......because You need to learn more about human nature....people...and thinking.
*HE REALLY SPEAKIN THE TRUTH*
I stumbled upon this randomly, and, I have to say, he is speaking from a place of love and passion. And to piggy back off of another comment, yes, he is totally right. And God forbid anything negative or harmful come his way. Because everyone will sift thru interviews, and will see it too late. I could watch this guy speak and hit so many topics, for hrs. He is very clearminded about the internets, ppls perspectives, bullying and depression and addiction. For him to be that clear, I hope for his msg to keep reaching others. I'm 34. My son is 15. My son will probably get entangled into all this bullshit. Props to russ. Great guy.
This is why Russ is deadass my favorite he doesn’t put up with any bullshit and he stays real regardless what happens. We need more of him
5 seconds into him talking & i understand why people hate him
Brandi Nicole fr! Lol
Yep i agree
Because he doesn't wanna feed you the truth with a spoon and bib on?
who gave him the right to feed us...arrogant humanbeing
his points are valid.tho delivery is rough, rugged, and def narcissistic which belittles his stance.
If you don't understand that his self belief is the reason he is so successful you don't know what it takes to get to that level
If he wasn't this abrasive or passionate it would never get through the jaded mindset of people
aka confidence
The hate for Russ came during everyday struggle
Beamer MoneyMan Russ gave uzi the S T A P L E G U N
Beamer MoneyMan your wildin’, he went on there to explain why he was hated already and just made it worse
Beamer MoneyMan before
Pretty sure it was after the pic of his shirt about peeps death went viral.
Beamer MoneyMan yeah bc he was disrespectful, LIED and wouldn’t let anybody speak.
Realist interview RUSS 💯🤙🏾😎
Truest words from straight forward ppl I feel the same ..been felt this way ...respect Russ
I love great conversation
From 25:30 on I remembered why I don't watch Ebro... Hella petty
MEGAxChiefs Foreal
Lmao fr

How is he petty? It’s his show you got him fucked up 😂😂
@@Arnulfo1231 faccs lol russ was chattin heavy
He looks like the white version of Lloyd & has that Troy Ave type of attitude..
And that's why I love him😂😂
Isvvx lol I said the same thing that he kinda resembles Llyod
low-key they the same tribe, need to get that ancestry test
