- Russ has been writing raps and releasing music consistently for the last few years. While he’s seen quite a bit of success, it was his self-produced track “What They Want” that catapulted him to new heights in the industry. He stopped by Genius to break down the meaning behind the song and explained that it was fueled by him seeing the realities of the music industry.

*still the most underrated rapper that gets slept on. I love him.*
On god
"if that's independent, then I was fucking homeless" #realtalk
💯
lol
I think it was aimed at Chance The Rapper. I felt exactly what he feels when I saw articles depicting Chance as an independent artist, plus he got all the support from the White House which served him as his promoter.
I like Chance but don't walk to fast cuz you could be stepping on those who've been crawling out of thirst.
he’s the most hated rapper and idk why he’s mad underrated
Did you not listen to him speak?
I’m 2 years late to this comment but this dudes cockiness is amazing that’s why he’s been one of my favorites for a while
they should do losin control by russ🔥🔥
Yes!!
bruh i think he verified yhe whole song on the website
LmaooHe explained it on the fuse channel lmao
This song is so much better. Losing control is really good but it was overplayed
He also explains it at his shows before performing lmao
Now I have to go listen to the actual song
Doc Kaos815 aka Kapone815 same 😂
Doc Kaos815 ikr
listen to loosing control and goodbye while you're at it
+juan davila two of my favorites 💕
you love good music too!
I use to be a fan but now I'm an air conditioner
Jerome phillips you need a crown fucking right now
Jerome phillips I laughed way to hard

Lmaoo😂
XD
Bro I've been on Russ for a minute, crazy to see him on genius. Keep striving
VLONESUS SAME HERE
VLONESUS honestly
These guys just now know of him lol
Yup. I didn't catch on to his music until earlier this year.
so what if they just figuring out about him? 💀 how tf else is he supposed to come up? as time goes on he gets more supporters lmao
Ramiro Salinas i
Joseph Harding ikr I've know about him for years
yeah cause he dissed joe and logic. this guy trash tho.
“I’m smart as **** they be talking like I’m the dumbest but I know”
Love this verse lol
People think he's a douchebag or an asshole, but he's not. He's very confident like most people need to be.
and this is why I love russ. what I look do in music is the melody and that is what he focuses on. I love him
I love russes personality
I met Russ at his Concert and he's such a cool guy.
That's awesome. There's a hotel mansion 3 houses away from me that Russ spent he night in.
He gave my mom a shirt that said "IN RUSS WE TRUST"
jimmynoshoes omg you and your mom are so lucky!💓👏😊
jimmynoshoes My sister has that shirt. I got the Hoodie that had his face from the Gypsy video.
Anybody else been on Russ since 2013???
Anthony Craig 2014 :)
2014
'14 wasn't a major fan till '15
"I'm so cool, i knew about him before everybody else dur dur dur"
Anthony Craig since 2011
IN Russ WE TRUST
i fucking love his music, i want him to get the recognition he deserves but at the same time i dont want to, cuz its the same thing that happened with the weeknd, fake fans and everybody knows who he is, lmao idk but i support him!
Maro im withu
switchin genres don't make you a sell out, the weeknd wasn't gonna forever make songs about darkness, sex and drugs because the boy got happier.
Jesus christ you the typical "I dont want people to know my fav artist, they aint no fan, ya'll just now listening to him, you going with the wave" bro, if you love him you would want him to blow up. Who the fuck cares if people you dont know or whatever get to know him? It just means he will make more music and his shows be bigger thats a good thing. On topic of Russ tho, he's corny but his is music good.
Maro fuck Russ
This song came out a while ago, and yea it's just now being heard on the radio and it's a hit..............
I think because he released it through a label.
iammelodies just wait til they hear the rest of his songs, he's gonna blow!
Yo genius, we need more russ. Gained a sub with this one 👏
He so underrated
M onty fk u...this dude...write his songs sing .. rap.. mix..engineer the song and produce it...and all his songs especially this new album have a rlly deep meaning if u search it..he has been working all his life to be what he is now...can u tell me what u did in life? lol nothing so shut the fuck up

thank you for breaking down the chorus. It was complex!
man's wearing a life jacket
Nidal Chaudhry ahahaha
This song speaks for itself. Serious one of the greatest songs of 2010's haven't been this hyped on a song for a while. But the lyrics are easy to get.
I was really searching for this.
russ got gotta be running from the illuminati
I love him so much and have since before what they want.
Secerecy's Sunshine that’s what every person says

seeing how much he's grown in just the past year alone is crazy. nice to see hes doing something with his talent.

SupaDupaFly

iv been with this man since beginning of sound cloud
He seems Chill AF I would love to meet him
People so mad. See most people don't have as much confidence as him and that scares people because people fear what they don't understand.
First song I heard by Russ was ‘Kiki’ on SoundCloud...
Russ💕💕 my boy gettin so much recognition😍😍😌😌
I love these. :)
Damn it's about time Russ gets some attention
he changed
Artiste. Bruh this nigga so horny to Saudi Arabian girl lmao
Artiste. Ofc he changed. everyone does.
I love him so much , so genius
The fact that everyone is just now getting Hip to Him!!
*Why do celebrities look all nice and stuff before Genius but gotta look slouchy as soon they get on Genius?*
*Btw Love the Artists that come on here*
Jâî Bîsh指有 probably an intentional technique making the artist look very human for us, the audience, to see this as really raw or personal.
wtfistime yeah, raw with some Tommy hilfiger jacket and shiny sunglasses. Raw, alright.
people think russ is cocky...... i just think hes speaking the truth
jayda Cat people say he’s cocky, people say he’s arrogant. he thinks lack of confidence is really unamerican...
a fan since 2014
salute Russ!
i love him
"im mad smart"
Maceo - CSGO I personally wouldn't say this is his best song to have on here, but whatever. He definitely is smart af. If you look into him, you'll get it.
Y'all all talking about Russ is conceited or russ is an asshole but he's not he's just been working years to get were he is now and he's just being real cause most these artist afraid to admit what they want but he ain't scared to, just let him be, everything he's getting rn he deserves, glad to see he's finally getting noticed ✨💯
Princess Ruthy shut up fatso
He pretentious fuck head who don’t deserve to be a rapper cause he came up from his dads money
lmao PERIODT
omg he is😍😍
love the shades
ppl are fucking late on russ and it pisses me off
MarQuese Wilson you cant really be late to music
MarQuese Wilson Thats like saying you mad he finally blew up
MarQuese Wilson fr
XD im not mad he blew up. im happy for him fr, im just mad he didnt blow up sooner. lol like he said he made hella mixtapes before hand and it causes ppl to miss out
MarQuese Wilson I feel you!, lmfao aslong as hes up there now though
damn this dude blew up
I love this dude
I relate with Russ on so many levels
love his down to earth personality
Frs that boy aint humble for shit
His personality trash
new wavelengths
Fucking lol
lol bitch whERE?
I used to like Russ because his music is pretty good. But he thinks he's a lot better than he actually is. He's nothing compared to Joey or Kendrick in the rap game
When did he say he was... if you don't believe you are the best, Hip Hop isn't for you.
fammo fammo fammo , you a demon to say one cant act as if they own this shit. one can act however they please do what ever they please whenever they please, you to say different well now youre just a bystander, relax and enjoy the music
Uber montity he just carry's himself that way, everybody should.. it's called confidence
He doesnt rap he sings lol
Russ is pretty humble actually. He just knows that he has deserved it for so long. 10 years in the game before he's starting to get props. Already bitches like you hating on his well deserved success.
I love him!
Damn Russ was mad loved back in 2016
when did sausage shrink lose 200 pounds and become a italian rapper?
💀💀💀
Slick Funny.
Slick loll
so russ
I feel this, trying to grow from nothing is rough but it just makes you want it more than those guys who come from money, and for money.
Love this song 🔥🔥
Did he call out Chance?
Sirron Watson I started thinking the same
Sirron Watson I was thinking the same thing when he said "two million dollars and your dad is this person...fits chance pretty well
SavageJayyy a ton of people fit that category. lil Uzi does, lil yatchy does also with having connects, there are also a ton of people who start making music and their rich family helps them get whatever beats/features/venues/looks that they want.
Sirron Watson My first thought was Jermaine Dupri lol
Yachty doesn't have a rich family bro lmao... I doubt Uzi does either
he's soo handsome, fuuuuu😍😍
ashley booboo eww
