Y'all about to make me watch this Russ interview :russ:


Kinda stopped watching this show since like June. I know who Russ is I heard a couple of his joints but I'm not surprised a lot of guys don't know who he is.

This shyt makes me dislike the nikka Russ now....

I didn't care too much about the bickering, but the more I think about it, his energy was that sugar coated shytty type of energy I don't like...

Recently saw the lil Wayne carter series episode. Funny how AK was spot on on his analysis of the carter 3 album. shyt was a huge disappointment and is massively overrated. I like how he mentioned how those leak tracks prior to the release were better than the album.
Nad and joe dont know shyt about southern hip hop unless the mainstream tell them

Respect his grind but something about dude was off to me the whole episode and I waited till it was done to realize that this nikka is everything he says he's not.

Why would you say, "Innocent men don't need to defend themselves" constantly, then proceed to defend your statements constantly? Dude says rap is too sensitive, and when Ak says who do you think is trash he drops that "I fukk with everybody line" trying not to hurt feelings.

nikka says you don't need XXL but was tweeting like "RT if I should be on XXL"

Says he doesn't care about blogs but has all these saved emails from them.

"I'm not upset about shyt my life is fukking phenomenal" sounds a lot like some shyt an upset nikka would say.

Says Ak is the go-to guy for shyt and is thorough, and constantly big ups the fact both of them built their own platforms. Says he doesn't need these platforms, then at the end of the ep asks why Ak don't cover him.


Seems to me this nikka wants to be accepted by the hip-hop culture and he's not. This nikka spoke straight facts about building yourself up and everything when it comes to the business/industry but his character threw me all the way off.
There you go. This is a legitimate critique. And that's all it is in the end, he wants hip hop to accept him. But it never will because he's not that dope. Certain guys rap but they're not hip hop. He is one of them.

This is how YOU feel. And it dont matter. Youre not paying theyre Bills. They live a swell life. People pay money to go to theyre shows. If you think this is arrogance you need to get out in the world more.
The fact that you spelled their wrong two times the same way is really annoying aside from you not making any sense. @BocaRear is right. Russ didn't act any different than Wale does or many others. That was my earlier point, if you don't dislike them all you're fronting. Btw, Russ isn't nice and no one named Russ will ever get big.

Why do you keep bringing up other ppl's actions when talking about Russ, tho?

That's the straw man I was talking about with you earlier...

Who is the "you" that you're referring to? @ them or quote them.. But don't just assume they exist

Why are you using the word "strawman" wrong? The first time you used it, you meant to say "red herring" those two things are not the same. I'm not trying to be that guy but it's just wrong. You would be wrong either way regardless. You seem to think a strawman is anything that doesn't argue on your or interprets your words terms in a way you don't like/agree with. Second, I'm not going to sit here and @ and go find every past post and then screenshot them side to side. If you don't see the hypocrisy then I don't know what to tell you. I also pointed out that nikkas hate women and didn't need to quote past posts to show that. Everyone agreed. People just know because it's been a trend on here.

What I'm saying is that I would see the hypocrisy if that were the case. I don't think other rappers escape the criticism that Russ is receiving. Especially not online.

Either way, the Russ critiques are valid on their own, whether whoever is saying it is being a hypocrite or not. The messenger doesn't negate the message.

Dapped for the correction, tho
