Something about the mix and master feels cheap/amateur, the beats aren’t really hitting right
Yeah he mixes and masters all his s*** that’s most likely why
Sounds like he needs to stop that, this definitely has that local rapper quality with the way the vocals sit awkwardly on top of the beat

that is literally every single instrumental russ has ever rapped on. mans beats and sounds are f***ing paper thin and tinny damn near 99% of the time.

Weird, I don’t listen to him much but he even got 9th and Hi Teks drums sounding kinda thin
Y’all boutta be surprised
Russ gonna become a staple in the game and respected by everyone now
I will say this
When Russ doesn't self produce everything and just focuses on rapping + pads himself with great features, he goes from unbearable to not that bad.
There a 9th wonder beat on here?
Man premier lost his ear for drums. That snare is so bad. Rest of the best (maybe not the jingle bell sound too) is solid

I think thats more of a mixing & mastering issue on Russ's part then it is on Preemo.

if doing what every other rapper does by default just makes you "not that bad", that's a pretty sad state of affairs

I'm not saying I really like him, but "CHOMP 2" is a tolerable listen. I remember listening to "Theres Really A Wolf" or whatever and I couldn't get through the whole album, thats how much it sucked. So if I can get through a whole listen of this and take something positive away from it, thats something.

i guess you're right.
tbh what makes him (still) unlistenable to me is his subject matter. s*** is so preachy and self-absorbed i can't hit the skip button fast enough. like fam, i don't care if you are self-produced and self-made and self-everything. tell me something that has some emotional investment & value to it that doesn't have to do with your insatiable napoleon complex
imagine if all J Cole rapped about was going platinum with no features and petty ass industry nonsense

Yeah thats why I could never get into Russ. He does 2 types of songs
a. Corny R&B sing rapping for the ladies (Which they go nuts over)
b. Corny brag rapping about his "achievements"
Theres a reason most of his shows are just filled with women and thats why I think his recent releases are more straight hip-hop. He wants to change that and make his base more versatile. The problem is, he's not really likable in his music and outside of it. Hes bland but acts like he's really it.

yeah i'm with you. he's really f***ing terrible usually and painfully mid at best.
if you unironically step out wearing this s*** i'm never gonna take anything you ever say for the rest of your life seriously, idc what your rebrand is like

The first Chomp EP was actually nice. I hate Russ but I ain’t a blind hater. S*** was dope
