That’s facts… I got my first job working for someone at the age of 28 with no college no high school diploma. My first job was being a ground man for Edison making 150k my first year
Fun fact russ is the only hip hop artist to have his debut album go platinum with everything in the album done by him, the beats, no features, the art etc.
Russ is smarter and had more money than most upcoming artist .. I heard him say he’d rather go to a bank for a loan to fund his album than a record label because he only pay on interest rate based on his credit which is probably low as shit cuz he rich as fuck.. then does all his music and videos in house on top of knowing all the people in streaming and radio to stay as relevant as the top signed artist .. this dude is the industry mole !
@@seanhurley9216 Bro you really should do some research before you talk because you look like a clown rn. Russ did not come from a rich family he spent the beginning years of his career sleeping in kid supers basement in NY while he dropped a song EVERY WEEK on SoundCloud and it eventually popped off after 10 years of dropping music
It’s the same thing in Asia, doesn’t matter if it’s Sony music, Warner, whatever. If you have money, you can get any one of them to produce and launch a singles. If it’s a hit, then you can work with them for further projects and albums. If not, you can keep making the songs and have them produce and release it as long as you have the means to pay for it. Starting price is around 400-500k.
@@eonr2499 idk why people hate on him so much seems like a humble guy and I’ve never heard his music in the radio non stop unlike some other people which gets annoying. I don’t even remember hearing his music in the radio🤷🏻♂️
I see why people HATE him so much. He's confident, self sufficient, and smiling. Lol. Although he may come off as "smug" he hasn't said a single lie yet. I WILL say that people shouldn't skate pass a very important point (if not the most important) which is that he HAS money. In a capitalist world wealth begets wealth so his model 100% works (everything in house more or less) if you already have the money and resources to make it so. So what he's saying doesn't apply to everyone (especially starting out) BUT it does work on you way up and going forward. This was cool to see.
He just a another artist that does music Who happens to have family in the industry so he gets noticed. Nothing more nothing less. Nobody hates russ people just don’t care for the trust fund baby vibes he gives off . Decent music nothing stands out but who does these days. Wish much success regardless
Lmaoo that is such a russ vibe "what are the steps that one would take if they have those assets???" "See I could tell you every step cuz I'm smart and I got the money and I know ppl so trust me I know every step" "then what are the steps?..." "see you asking me cuz you know I know cuz I'm smart I got this man I'm smart"
Yeah he knows everyone and how everything works. That’s exactly why we don’t hear his music anymore lmao. He’ll still say something like “I told THEM to stop playing my music cause it’s too good and I got all the money and I’m too smart”
Because him exposing the industry like this caused him to get shadow banned across all platforms lol that shit happens to artists that expose the industry
For people haven’t listened to Russ. Listen to shake the snow globe deluxe. And then after you listen to that. Explore the rest of his music. It’s good shit.
Russ being doing this for over 10 years so don’t get it confused. He worked to get to this point it took him way longer than we saw especially now a days people think he came out around the lil pump smoke purp age cuz of the fights and corny fuck Russ shit. He really been doing this
💯 when you got the funds to back ur self and also thr knowledge of what ur doing you really cut ✂️ cost meaning 1000s saved to use that money saved and take it to the four guys he knows its not just what you know its who you know pay them people who can put ur music out there on there huge platforms you got some fire music 🎶 then we have lift off on your career people listen like and you have invested into your self and confidence is up you know its good the money 💰 comes back but yea u gotta put the work time dedication the shit is real
Pay attention to that young man..... His business mind in the industry is second to none... Learn something youngings and Bruh music has hella substance too...
I love when people say it's so easy to do something but still haven't done/will never do said thing, so if he knows them, why isn't he running everything?
All facts and if you just simply wanna release music all you need is a video guy and a producer/engineer with his own studio. It's start to feel like the only thing these majors can offer is fame.
Knowing the people who distribute the goods doesn’t take away from the fact that you must have good quality goods to being with. Not everything is marketing.
A very knowledgeable person told me if you really want to get into the industry get food with the DJ Mafia all the DJs that play music on the radio really is your key 🗝️.
@@hegeliandianetik2009 all I’m saying is the way he said this made him look like part of the problem in the music industry not the solution I enjoy some russ songs hes a cool artist but it’s not cool that this is how the system works and he has money and connections so it works out for him
I always like his music. Before I knew he was independent and produced , recorded, and mixed his own music beginning to end. “People” (who are relevant and have validity) will bash on him cuz he didn’t have to sell out and have a split like most others did starting up. Listen to his Utah freestyle Wordplay is hella witty and informative. Goes beyond the “bitches, money, drip, etc” which is the underlying topic for 80% of raps these days. “ luckily I’m free, regardless if they mass hated , unlike most of these rappers who economically are castrated Cause y’all don’t own your music, Y’all don’t have a fucking voice Til a promoter hires y’all, y’all are unemployed
What’s crazier is that it’s only like 2-3 companies that own the ENTIRE music industry including every Label. Your favorite artist’s Label is signed under another label, whose under another label whose under one of these: Universal Sony Warner
@@hegeliandianetik2009 huh? 1000s did. Master p reinvented music industry. Nevermind Dupri, Simmons. If your gonna study record industry, no limit are the ground breakers.
Those are all people that folded and went into partnership with big labels. Russ got in with a label then got out as soon as he could and hustled off his own dollar
@ClubHop you said it yourself. They did it pre Internet & before the smart phone. they were the biggest in the game which is incredibly harder to do in that time.. Also Everyone & their mother knows who Puff daddy, Jay Z, Master P etc… I don’t know anyone who listens to Russ 🤣 nor can I name 1 song by him, he’s straight trash
Artists, don’t be dumb. Let all your artist friends now. Fund your own careers (ask bank for loans). Don’t sign record deals (you will be in debt to the record deal equally as the bank). Don’t use distributors( ex.Spotify). Pay for publicity yourself (radio spots, magazine shoots, billboards) . Otherwise you are giving control to others. Just hire your own team.
DONT FORGET KNOWING PEOPLE IS KOOL BUT WITHOUT MONEY YOU WONT MAKE IT FAR YOU HAVE TO SPEND MONEY LISTEN TO HIS WORDS.......HE WAS ABLE TO DO IT BEKAUSE HE STARTED WITH MONEY

He's just building them up and as he said... he has the money and he has them. The guy he has are any four people, but not any four places. That's not to say you can't do it being your own label.
when u find the plugs plug and now u the plug
Factz
But now someone else tries to take the plug but he got enough money to pay all the other plugs plus the guy trying to take the plug, and himself.

Yes you get your whole team together everybody that you know and trusted since you were young and you start making some cool shit togetherness.

Russ talk yo shit gang!
You know it's crazy I haven't heard a song from him. In a min.
Because him exposing the industry like this caused him to get shadow banned across all platforms lol that shit happens to artists that expose the industry

Politics = The basics of how all industries operate
(who you know and who you blow)
I miss his music… fire 🔥
God did us all a favor when he stopped
That's in every industry it's all about networking and who you know
Ain’t about what you know, it’s bout who you know
plus hez talented 🫡
He should be the biggest rapper since he got it figured out
It’s deeper than that
Russ isn’t pushed by the industry, he’s a fully independent artist
I would take his position over drake position anyday
He’s pretty big
Impossibile without a label push you have to be supported by the label and then go independent at your peak which don’t happen often
Russ being doing this for over 10 years so don’t get it confused. He worked to get to this point it took him way longer than we saw especially now a days people think he came out around the lil pump smoke purp age cuz of the fights and corny fuck Russ shit. He really been doing this
That's f****** legit.... 🤯🤯🤯
Everything is about connections and skill
He talked all that indie stuff but he just said it. He knew the right ppl and had the money
hes giving me mad kabuto vibes
Who’s dat
💯 when you got the funds to back ur self and also thr knowledge of what ur doing you really cut ✂️ cost meaning 1000s saved to use that money saved and take it to the four guys he knows its not just what you know its who you know pay them people who can put ur music out there on there huge platforms you got some fire music 🎶 then we have lift off on your career people listen like and you have invested into your self and confidence is up you know its good the money 💰 comes back but yea u gotta put the work time dedication the shit is real

I love Russ he's so real and authentic. He needs to be careful talking too much truth. They'll kill him. Then cover it up.
hes dropping key knowledge not even exposing ppl
Networking is everything
fuck i love russ
Your network is your net worth.
He’s right just have enough money to blow, spend to make money
Beautiful soul
