BlaccLightMusicGang LMAO HE WAS SHOOK LIKE 3 TIMES IN 10 SECONDS 😂💀
Joe had Lil Yatchy
Ak Had Vic Mensa
Now Nadeska has Russ
U Right, I forgot about that 1
Malik Hobbs don't forget Wale
Everybody gets one 😂
Ak might have more.
kashstory Ak WILL have more lmao
lmaooo peep how happy ak got when Russ said complex needed him 😂
that man had to sip his tea trying to hide that smile loool
Zaid Willie do you know what part of the video by chance?
Depressed Suns fan it starts at like the 51 minute mark
Brandon Quaye-Kumah thank you!
Its the truth...that's the reason people watCh this shit
Interviewer: "so Russ, what's your favorite fast food joint?"
Russ: "I don't eat at fast food joints because they aren't independent. I mix, master, produce, and record all my songs. My album went gold in the same summer it came out. I sell out shows."
Interviewer: "okay. So what are you going to do for Christmas this year?"
Russ: "I'm going to independently drop an album that I mixed, mastered, and produced myself. Nobody else is doing what I'm doing. The industry is fake. I sell out shows. I don't get butthurt easily I'm just stating facts. I'm always right. And did I mention I mix, master, and produce all my music?"
Ozzy Music haha funny
I LOVE Russ' music, but this comment is the funniest thing I have ever read.
Bruhh if anyone can make a story meme out of this ongg 😂😂💯
Ozzy Music he’s better and does more and stuff your favorite rapper can’t do
Jared M kanye west, now Lil pump, nav, quavo all do the same FUCKING thing stupid
bring him and Joe back on next Friday it'd be entertaining af
Him and joe really need to talk to each other
Mario Palmer fr wtf how you not have joe this episode?
Mario Palmer if they meet its gonna be a good meme
Well they're both Jersey natives and Joe respects the independent grind. Also Russ called out Nadeska aka 'femideska' and said Akademiks doesn't know hiphop as he only posts popular/trending artists on his socials. So I guess Joe and Russ would get along just fine! 😁
I would pay for that!?!?!
Russ: Rappers are too sensitive
*20 minutes later
Russ: Akademiks, why didn't you post my album sales on your instagram?
bro, u dumb or some shit? ak talked shit bout xxl being only popularity, russ just told him that his utube acc are no diferente.. ak does post only bout popularity
Jordan Rhone he's a rapper
He has nothing to be sensitive about... He was calling him on his bullshit. THE TRUTH..
Victor M not true ak posted Kodak when he was nobody
Jordan Rhone that's not him being sensitive it's just him displaying an example of the fuckery they spent the whole episode talking about, why is it Russ' fault that both AK and Nadeska got caught slippin? he wasnt even mad about it he was just stating...
The way ak was sipping out of his cup when Russ addressed nadeska had me dying🤣
Crispi Bacon same
great interview but did you know that Russ writes, mixes, masters, produces, cooks, bakes, stirs, blends, chops, braids, stares, engineers, plastifies, rolls, fries and records all of his music?

Can anyone tell me why Joe is not on Friday shows? Is it because Complex won't cut the check or some other shit?
I noticed the harder she smiles, the more pissed off she is. And then follows up with the snide remarks.

thanks

Holy shit I did not expect russ. I thought he was too busy, engineering, recording & producing all his stuff, to ever do a interview. Did I mention that he engineers, produces, records, writes all his stuff? Just in case y'all didn't know, he engineers, records, produces, writes all his stuff.
CezaMVO lmao
Also very crap
CezaMVO you're trying too hard, chill.
Is Russ hip hop ?
Don't boost him
This episode WITH joe would've went viral
Kelvin Williams Joe would have not defended nadeska like that bro chill, Joe would be laughing and making jokes because finally she has a problem with a guest on the show
Kelvin Williams no joe would've been agreeing with everything Russ is saying about the music industry, because Joe knows the industry.
everything russ said about the music industry is truth and is pretty much the same sentiment that joe shares.
Fonz Uzuegbunam worddd I was thinking the same shit.
Jesus Gonzalez 100% true! I'm laughing now thinking about him saying some shit like that to her.
Look at Nedeska's body language after Russ & Ak are bigging each other up 😂😂😂😂😂😂
shits weird they were sucking each other off
BlankFaceKilla47 hahahahaha
@@blankface1765 people can’t complement eachother?
Did Russ get banned from Complex? Did Nadeska cry in the car? Will Joe cuss out AK? Did AK really have anything in his cup?
Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Z!!
Rob Johnson underrated comment
Rob Johnson ha
supremexdax nah. these types of comments are done to death.
fucking dying man and dragon ball Z isn't fire anymore, so next time put dragon ball super instead.
Rob Johnson shit was amazingly great 😭😭😭
Nadeska got Vic Mensa'd
yaaaaaaa she did good ak didnt back her up cause none of them backed him up....
Dru he wack af though. He the one who got a crush on her but too pussy to say anything oh well
Love Graham did ak tell u he had a crush on her? Or u just running with what they say in the comments
Dru real shit she deserved that
Don't let this distract you from the fact that Russ did this whole episode by himself WITHOUT HELP FROM ANYBODY
opazikee puna consider finishing your finite existence as an option for your growth as a person
^ These are the type of RUclips commentators Russ was referencing .
LOL
Skyra 😂😂
Sam Adam fuck Russ I'll rip that nigga man bun out
After watching more interviews of Russ, I actually like him as a person and an artist.
Oh by the way, I formed this opinion all by myself
Recorded, Mixed & Mastered
Fr I like him & respect him much more after watching his interviews & following him on social media. I'm a tough artist myself with the Eminem don't give a fuck attitude so I could relate to what he's saying on a level
DJ Akademiks be praciticing pick up lines in the mirror for Nadeska
And practicing his smirk for her when he cracks a lame ass joke
Zoe Bro wtf u doin here 😂
lmfao bro😂
Bro I just spit my beer out. Lmfaooo
nadeska was hating so much when russ showed akademiks his worth and how important he is to complex and not her LOOOL
WonderVision Films she was like "your not the only one that worked hard to get here".
I'm like bitch where? 🤔😂😂
WonderVision Films Exactly! She was mad salty about that.

WonderVision Films love a reality check
Russ did this episode ALL BY HIMSELF. NO HELP FROM ANYONE!
Rasar Amani hahahah W
One thouxan
I feel a new meme coming on..
Rasar Amani my grandson did an episode by himself as well
Rasar Amani 😂😂😂
Akademiks didn't defend Nadeska because she curved him some time back.
What you got on this? soundcloud.com/user-813956650/ghetto-gentrificationlight-from-aleppo
No its because he doesn't get defended
Which makes him less of a man. He's a fat little bitch fuck him.
BECAUSE OF VIC MENSA
B A R R Y M A G G O T S nadeska didn’t defend akademiks when Vic Mensa said he wanted to slap him in the face she just sat there flirting with joe
Please have Russ on with joe budden. Please
lack jack bet Russ won't be quite as loud lol
Endy Vasquez Cortes yeah he would because him and Joe both hate mumble rappers.
Anonymous yeah but Joe 100% would stand up for Nadeska
Joe would end this nigga quickly
Joe would be on his side
"XXL is not a talent show, it's a popularity contest."
Rasar Amani realest statement I heard in a minuet
Rasar Amani I mean XXL is literally about *UP AND COMING* artists of that year, not just random talented individuals. The artists that are really popular at the moment ARE the ones that are "on the come up" so that statement was extremely ignorant
Chill bro.
1. This a quote from Russ.
2. Nothing you said makes it false.
3. Artists like Joyner Lucas, Phora and countless others who are both poppin' and overlooked by them aren't "random". I mean, Russ, said himself he's BEEN doing more than many of the freshman and he's still not on there (doesn't need it)...
Btw, I've barely listened to Russ, he just made a factual statement that I agree with .
The irony of calling it ignorant...when the topic was literally about how they ignore so many legitimately buzzing artists, who often have more talent and better numbers in real life.
No need to get upset, family.
Any time you open the vote to the public the popular is gonna be picked. That's democracy not woke.
I'm not sure you want to go there with being "woke" about democracy.
Your claim about the popular vote is false in many cases, but I see your point.
As someone who didn't support either '16 presidential candidate, I still acknowledge that Clinton won the popular vote by approx 3 million votes. Also, research the 2000 election.
Russ wrote, mixed, mastered, produced and engineered this episode all by himself
Nadeska was a bad feature

Yike G'LOOKS ✊🏼
Both Nadeska and Russ were getting "emotional". Russ seems like the kind of guy to say "I see how it is..." if you don't text him happy birthday on his actual birthday.
The Bacon Station who wouldn't tho
Ok then how about he seems like the type of guy to blame old friends for not reaching out when he didn't make any effort either.
The Bacon Station you seem like thw type to make assumptions about people you know nothing about lol
flame1113 u seem emotional
Only Because she kept bringing it up After Russ called her Emotional, you could tell it bugged him because he felt he was telling the truth, which he was.
Nadeska tasted her own medicine when DJ Akademiks did not stand up for her she should not be surprised at any of this
She fake asf 💯 Joe Too 💯💯💯
So true I did not even think of that bahaha
I cant see nothing but russ' small ass hands 😂😂

Nadeska " i just think it's funny when..." Thats when I knew Russ won.

Underdog here. I have not "made it" yet, hell, I'm barely making $14 dollars per hour @ my job. But i'm not here for pitty or sympathy. I simply would like everyone to check out my visuals. Please do me a solid one and search Floyd "You Don't Know" .... anyone who supports artists with actual bars will not be disappointed. all i'm asking for is that you drop a simple comment!!! PLEASE!!!! better get familiar before the rest of the world does!
Shout out to Nedeska for keeping her composure. She was right. The screenshot of the email is clear proof.
This Russ character spouts common knowledge facts, people eat it up and call him "real".
Textbook pseudo intellectual.
If this is common knowledge then most of your favorite artists aren't very bright.
im 12 almost 13
owned
So true she was so clear in the email yet he framed it in his Russ Vs the world mentality
Not common knowledge. A lotta people don't understand shit
Russ.... smh talented artist and very intelligent guy, he dropped some gems here and there but poor communicator. No matter how you look at it bro YOUR BURNING BRIDGES. Deska was right there was no reason to bring up the email. Guess what they got receipts and you misunderstood what was said. This incident could possibly burn a bridge with complex. We don't know. They're trying to help you telling you you may be closing doors on yourself. You should listen. You speak on Eminem saying that his energy is missing a bit, you have to remember that energy you speak of was somewhat manufactured. That controversy boosted sales. He had dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine backing him at the time. A BUDDIND POWERHOUSE OF A MAJOR LABEL. Then goes on to say "I wasn't waiting to do this." NEWS FLASH YES YOU WERE... But proceeds to basically ask Ack why he didn't do more coverage on him because his album is selling... THE SAME GUY WHO SAYS YOU DON'T NEED THINGS LIKE THIS TO MAKE IT?!?!? Then WHY ASK THE QUESTION?!?!? The tactics hes using to "expose" things in this interview are only blowing up in his face. But he's too clouded by his own hubris of his album selling well for him to see it. For him to say he's not emotional, and only came here to make dope music to play in his car there's no reason for you to bring up these petty matters. Because you look and sound emotional doing it. A textbook reason why is because he's says "this is gonna make me look bitter. The comments are gonna say I'm bitter and crazy." Bro... your projecting AF right now. Look, you made it man, you proved all your doubters wrong. Just continue to do that with the work and let that speak for you. Thats how real leaders move. Cause this is only hurting you in the long run. But he's young hopefully he'll grow out of this.
He was contradicting himself a lot and made himself look like he only came on to roast them. No matter how much he says he's not something, actions always reveal the truth. He was pretty emotional, kinda butthurt, talking in circles, and a bit childish. He was dropping some gems though, gatta give him that.
Javon Dallas aint nobody reading this damn book
he got emotions like a female.
I heard a guy read this whole thing
Javon Dallas facts

I can't even trust the comments cuz complex be deleting shit nowadays 😂🙃
StudioYT complex deleted all the anti nedeska comments.they can't delete them 9000 likes.message!!!no one likes nedeska.
woww no wonder all I see is hate on Russ
its because most people dont hate nedeska or care enough to say shit but russ a pussy he got one catchy pop song and he thinks he a god send rapper get tf off the show even vic could rap circles around him
Steelersfan0210 your dumb his whole album went gold I would like to see you do better
aliastony29 yeah she always looks mad you can see it all in her face
Russ is logic minus the logic.
Most underrated comment
Minus good beats
Minus lyrical ability
Jordan Bradshaw you must not be listening to the right Russ songs if you think he's not lyrical
kian stephenson so he's actually good
Bet Joe finna say "I love Russ , I have no problem with Russ" on Monday . Who taking bets !
I bet he calls russ out and then goes at ak for not backing up nadeska
nah he at that nigga head on monday either that or he go be on sum i dont even wanna say his name shit
Imran Kazzy how would he back her up if russ was on ak side
How do you get a guy like Russ on when Joe is not there? That's dumb! This needed Joe.
Firenze Phoenix definitely needed Joe. I saw Russ on this channel & immediately jumped up. But Joe wasn't here.... god fucking dammit.
lol it didn't NEED Joe. He LITERLY (in Russ' voice) replaced Joe for this episode. Joe would have just been sitting there laughing at how fucking true all of this shit is.
Firenze Phoenix I agree
Joe's just gonna body russ next episode for farting on his chair
knowing joe this woulda eneded in a fight russ is so disrespectful we would have anothe migos incident
If joe was here he would've just been yelling and interrupting him!😤😂🙌 and then he would've been like Ak needed complex... we didn't come to him!😤😤😤
Same here lol
I was too. Lol
donovan james stfu lol ak had more than half the amount of subscriber that whole company had..
SSOOOO true
If I was there Russ wouldn't have this energy. Stop it
Salt started pouring out my phone after i finished this vid
NADESKA GOT VIC MENSAD LMAOOOO
Pull up like Vic, hit a nigga with the stick. 🔫
wake 😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀
Funny how the title says nothing about nadeska being checked as opposed to the other ones with Ak and Joe
Ermac I know right
Complex doing their thing lol 🙄
She's the moderator 👩⚖️.... Y?
Ermac wat time exactly
Yeah that shit is corny af. I remember that shit from vicmensa episode. They had AK looking like a simp just by the title of that episode
Nadeska got checked. She got mad because she assumed some shit that wasn't there.
Agreed also whenever ak gets checked nadeska is chilling with joe laughing at ak but when ak gets to kick back while nadeska gets checked you can tell her feelings were hurt
asaad alshahin they shoulda dropped the emails
But she was right though. She didn't handle that well, but he was still wrong at the end of the day. They showed ya'll the proof. Why ya'll still saying she was wrong? Don't let your biases stop you from examining the facts.
asaad alshahin fam she was bare agged, russ had pushed her buttons was kinda awkward but funny
kashstory what was she right about what ? I just saw her overreacting while he stayed calm , then saying he was lien but didn't drop the emails
He brought up the email, blamed her for it, and when she tried to explain that it was a group decision to not have him on the show and she was just the messenger, he still said she was a liar and he refused to talk about the situation even though it clearly bothered him. She was trying to reassure him but he switched gears saying it doesn’t matter and it didn’t bother him bc he’s rich and other bs. Lmao
YO tell me Nadeska Alexis doesnt lowkey sound like a pornstar name
Time Plug coming

BeatsbyIVAN Nigga shut the fuck up and post the time Guide bitch!

Ak drinking his tea and looking at the camera meme of the month lol
Russ is gonna be HIGHLY successful in the game but he will also be a very polarizing figure. People will love to hate him. Some of it warranted, some of it not... hope he continues to grow artistically tho
Polarizing? LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOO
Darrel Be Highly ?! LMFAOOOOOOOO
Wamian Dayne polarizing is the right word you dumbass
chillhomie7 To who? No one bumps Russ at anything. LMFAOOOOOOOO
if i am not wrong, might be new Generation Kanye (excluding the music)
Russ woke up by himself. He mix, mastered, and produced his own dreams.
Nadeska doesnt like Russ.. Its obvious
E Money Bags i do
Complex Needs To Get a Punching Bag For The Studio lmfao

Hodor Bwahahahahhaha!!! W
Hodor how the fuck did you watch this interview??? We watched The white walkers kill you.
hodor :(
I love the ending. Russ letting them know there don't hold the power. There is no more gate keepers. The power is in the ARTIST!
"I question if you actually follow hip-hop" lmaooo. Breh come onnnnnnn. Just accept that you aren't a household name like that yet *shrugs*
Lol he out sold your favorite mumble rapper
yet he's still barely talked about lol
Because he didnt sell his soul for a 360 deal like you're favorite mumble rappers
#RealOneRuss fuck all.
that means he has a really dedicated fanbase, not that he's popular. Use your brain
I write all of my own comments and post them myself too. My likes are off the chart. Other people have fake accounts with fake likes backing them. If Complex doesn't favorite this comment, I'll expose y'all.
Timothy Patterson W
Timothy Patterson just looked and you have 100 fake likes out of 105
Lol!
one of the greatest comments i have seen on complex. nicely done
W
Russ is telling the truth. He just has a rough way of coming off. I like his honesty.
I read the email,
She didn't say they weren't taking guests at all...she said they weren't taking "too many guests" So he took that as a slight...All I say is if you're gonna give your grievances..... be accurate...Russ was extremely condescending and incorrect...cant be loud and wrong...even if you're talented...
Nadeska couldn't win regardless.... any reaction she could have had...he still would have gaslit her by calling her emotional ......even here she let him speak.....in the email she complimented his talents and even said shed keep him posted..... EVEN THOUGH HE WAS WRONG she still got called emotional. Men like to do that to dismiss anything a woman could say...so its minimized...if anything he was most emotional because he kept making assumptions about how she was feeling....and projecting shit onto her...not really fair.
Yep Russ is a complete wanker. What use is arguing if every reply is met with a brick wall?
@Charlie Brown Boxing Media oh
@Charlie Brown Boxing Media 😂😂
Bruh at 51:33 he destroyed complex and basically asserted akademiks' superiority over complex
The 1st time someone bigged up ak on the show
Because ak the plug for everyday struggle content
CompLex Critique bet LOL
Antone J Bruh. He slaughtered Nebraska with clever wordplay. It’s like he was rapping but not really.
people hate you when you're real but love you when your fake, SMH ...
NADESKA WAS TIGHT LMFAOOOOO 😭😭😭😭😭
Dude just speaking his mind and letting them know where he stands, I don't get why people hate, we all been petty and shit at one point let the dude just be real and straight up.
Jose Castaneda where are you from?
I came here for Joe Buddens Reaction
Mike ADHD they been doing it for the past few weeks with guests
True. Ever since I seen his veins pop out his neck and Lil Yachy go "Chilllll broo" I'm hooked haha
Man... i think nadeska got mad of course but these dudes in the comments are ridiculous. Of course she was getting mad. Russ was continuously calling her a liar lol. She pulled up the email nd still it persists. He DID sneak that shit in. Then he is saying that he did it because that attitude isnt there in hip hop. Yet vic mensa, migos, etc etc have exhibited that attitude in recent memory.
Im not a nadeska fanboy i just dont like the disrespect for vlog/radio hosts by guests in the past few years. Its mad. Then if nobody wants this dude on their show he is gonna talk about the industry. Like nigga nobody wanna argue with you when they are giving you another platform.
He said he was greatful to be there but yet talked so much trash
Nadeska kept digging a bigger hole everytime she talked
It’s crazy looking at this interview after all that came out recently about the industry. Truth be told Russ is still on top. Independent, still making music and touring and as for Everyday Struggle?
That sweater looks comfy as hell.
russ predicted what people would say about him after this... i think he put light on some things and cuz of it he sounded bitter
Josh Maashio the truth is the truth, bitterness is an opinion. Fuck what people talking about, he just keeping it 100
Nedeska clearly punched her timecard out after the cameras shut off 😂😂😂
atravis1 l know!
Dude is mad petty and condescending....
Hey Diijei how you feel about this? soundcloud.com/user-813956650/ghetto-gentrificationlight-from-aleppo
DiiJei Jackson No he's not, he's just being HONEST. Get out your feelings and learn to accept some criticism.
Divine Emperor Hahah no one's in their feelings calm down. There are ways to give criticism and still be petty. The two ideas are not always exclusive actions. He's managed to blend the two, ultimately coming off douchey. It's an opinion. Learn to read other's opinions without responding with false accusations. Good day
DiiJei Jackson Fine. I'll apologize and acknowledge your point, but you also can't discredit his reasoning.
Divine Emperor Never did. I completely see where he's coming from. Reading the e-mail would probably lead me to the same conclusion he had. It's just the way that he chose to react and address it, is what I don't agree with. Honesty should be commended but not at the cost of all humility. I don't hate the guy, just thought his approach was distasteful and off putting.
Lol I cant wait for Monday to see what Joe has to say about this episode
purgatory life Joe should've been here today
Ahmed Mahmoud for sure.
purgatory life lmfao facts
purgatory life lowkey 😭
Can't wait for the table drumroll
Russ is smart af. He understands the business of the industry way more than most mfs
A 5 year old can understand the business of industry, stop acting like Russ is a revolution, he's another whack rapper who tries to look like that corny "truther" douche who thinks he's original.
sure lol
akademiks it's ok to say "I cover whoever the fuck I wanna cover" simple as that.
Even though thats fucked you're right in a way
JACMIC23 how is it fucked. It's his channel.
50:29 The hurt..... lmmfaoooo
"Now I can let these dream killers kill my self esteem
or use my arrogance as a steam to power my dreams
I use it as my gas so they say that I'm gassed
But without it I'd be laugh so I ought to laugh
So I don't listen to the suits behind the desk no more..."
-Yeezy
Russ literally embodies those bars
As arrogant as the guy is, it's also the reason why he is such a big artist now. People with incredible levels of self confidence are intimidating to most. Especially since most people do not believe in themselves wholeheartedly.
E Money Bags damn you really that mad?
Nadeska with that POWERFUL fake smile.
My boy Ak ain't getting nothing from Nadeska tonight lmaoooooooooooooooooooooo
When did he?

Weekend Warriors 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Weekend Warriors 💀💀💀💀

Weekend Warriors bro you are hilarious!!!!
Lmaoooo
This is exactly what Russ means when he and Jay Z say Hip Hop is soft. He adresses his conflict like a man STRAIGHT UP nd Nadeska gets in her feelings even though he lied about the no guest claim(She said Ak and Joe aren't happy with guests too much unless theryre at the top). Then Ak says maybe you should address your conflicts differently... No address it directly be straight up not soft.
Btw never heard of Russ before this interview.
Adrian Subryan your profile pic fire
cancer Haha thx used to be my twitter avi too.
Why is nadeska the host when she is so emotional and biased or emotionally biased?🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️
donovan james she's not the host
Jesus Gonzalez Yes she is
donovan james She's a terrible moderator...
donovan james ak is minding his business played it perfect 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
mansa musa she should be replaced I agree
The people saying Nadeska was in the wrong must not notice when people are snarky/condescending to them.The people that spell her name "Nebraska" are just illiterate.
insanity921 true
I get that she's mad that she'll lose street cred and be mocked a lot I think it was a bit resentful of Russ to even say that publicly. He shouldn't have done that.
Also people in the biz should be more respectful and thankful that the only reason they have a job is because of the artists. Clearly not allowing an artist to respond because your boss prefers not to have guests is clearly saying, we don't want to inform, we just want to keep spreading soundbites and inflamatory content in your name we choose your PR narrative and you live the consequences. F the establishment
when you are truly doing well and succesful you don't swing on other people.
when you do that it just accelerates your downfall.
he could have turned an old foe into an ally instead he spread more bitterness and chose to continue the cycle of hate. He should have said that to a therapist instead.
Yeah maybe,but he just wanted to expose the business is what i think. He's got balls for doing that just to show people the truth. But what i really dont understand is that she could of just read what the email said and proved him wrong so idk,its weird.
@Sweet Cheekz did you even read the email??? He is in the wrong.
52:08 the way nadeska looking at ak like she gon murder him after the show for having bromance with russ 😆😂😂😂😂
Joe's laughing his ass off
Why is Joe listed as a host in the credits when he's not there but Akademiks isn't?
SANHII G when is ak never there?
Demarcus Pollard he's saying Akademiks is never listed in the credits when he is always there but Joe is listed when he misses episodes
It's joes show, ak doesn't even have an ear piece
Demarcus Pollard you're dumb as can be
joe came up with the show with complex before ak and nedeska were even in the picture
"I was at a 9 on liberation, now I'm at a 10" 😂😂😂 Russ stay woke
Nancy Araguz i was the tenth like, das crazy 😜
Ak shoulda just been straight up and said Russ is not in the field of interest he covers or in the interest of his followers. Like you don't see Ak covering G-Eazy but he's a rapper too.
Twenny One Thavage racist
victoria virgilio *rathitht*
He doesn't even like to cover Logic that much either. Those are one of the biggest names in the industry he should cover them more he would expand his demographic more.
If joe was there this would have been a different show
Nadeska tight lol akademiks was loving the compliments #ChatNigga
His pretentiousness overshadows his music, honestly
Lmao Dj Ak was all wet when Russ Gassed him up on Building his own following
Y'all needs stop doing these shits without Joe. Joe would've adds a whole other element to these special guest episodes
John Q joe woulda called russ on his bullshit
Kun0 true
John Q facts
Joe must be dying
This is such a fucking iconic interview wtff
