plant or nah? got 11 mixtapes. doing sold out shows overseas

honestly, his songs to me are average as fukk... his personality is bland outside of his work ethic. but gotta respect his grind



could be the next logic in terms of organic fanbase.





sold 43k 1st week earlier this year. thats more than yachty/thug/ vic mensa/yg....

got a couple of songs w/ a mil plays on YT, SC...

couple of platinum singles

Ill always respect an artist that puts effort into his craft, producing for yourself ain't easy. That said I'm not checkin for his music just yet but maybe ill catch up if i hear something i like

this dude is so corny to me. He can't go five minutes without mentioning that he produces/mixes/masters his own shyt, which is great but I don't need to hear about it every 5 minutes let the music do the talking. Plus the beats that he makes are just royalty free loops from looperman with some shytty drums on em. :camby:

I found his album a chore to get through.

It's funny, I've been listening to him for years, back when 2DopeBoyz would drop every song and mixtape he would release and shyt with his crew Diemon or something. Don't know if they still exist. About 2/3 years ago I stopped checking for him, simply because he was dropping so much and to be honest, he wasn't saying anything. Just song after song after song, saying nothing.

Then he kinda blew up, so I thought "Maybe he's found an angle or a sound or something and figured it all out", so I checked his newer stuff, and it was the same. Song after song of pretty superficial shyt or just talking about how he did it "all on his own".

Gave his album a courtesy spin. Too long, just a collection of songs with no real direction.

Back to not listening to Russ I go lol

Good for him, though. He's making money and having fun I hope.

How do you know that? Not being a dikk, just asking because I'm genuinely curious

I think I;'ve heard one song from this dude and it sucked but when I found out produced, mixed, mastered all his work I thought that was very impressive and especially since it seems like he really did build a fanbase from the ground up through that. That's some real shyt.

Are his beats any good though?

There was a thread on KTT about it a while ago, but here's an example.

I think it's impressive to mix/master all on your own but when you constantly tell people you're better than other artists because you do that it kinda takes away from the music which isn't even that good in the first place to me.

All his fans are white, not suprising he's selling so well. He comes across as real unlikeable :yeshrug:
