He had/has a great career considering the zeitgeist is against everything he is (white lyrical-leaning rapper who is standoffish about being traditional and better than everyone else with perception of being a plant) as we can see in this thread lmao. I dont listen to dude tho

Very hard for a white rapper to get niggas to listen to them on some relatable / vicarious s***. Gotta just go ahead and create a world like Action/Mac

Lmaoo he was on brilliant idiots or flagrant some s*** with andrew shulz saying ktt started that rumor

Took me a bit to come around but I rock with Russ even if I don’t listen to him like that

1. Calling that nigga spicy white like its supposed to make him have more cultural appeal is crazy. Its like that atlanta reparations episode “im persian” lmaooo

2. The hilarious thing is if he had mafioso raps and a lore of having italian mob connections the way Drake has Chubbs and the toronto hoodlums he would be 5x bigger lol

Yeah I don't remember why it ended but Joe leaving was the start of the end for sure

He drops some good game in interviews but he just comes across as super pretentious and arrogant

Lmao did he really say KTT? LMFAO

Russ’ career pretty successful in terms of being an independent artist so I think he has reached his ceiling

But his music is very basic and lives off making music for women

People deadass listen to the music they like; it's not a conspiracy or a long thought process lol

If he deserved more the people would've gave him just that

1. He’s very successful
2. He sucks

f*** that nigga

yeat better

There’s only one prominent white rapper to actually do that and he’s currently being propped up by suburban gen z coons

His music sucked im ngl plus he had this weird self righteous better than thou attitude that looked even worse coming from a Italian guy lol

3. Ugly

Unironically nettspend is the white boy I see actually sticking with rap

The hood didn't forget that Peep disrespect

Yung Lean & Bladee

Bladee was bumped for years before anyone knew anything about him

Revisionist history

The funny thing is he did have a period where he had goons and played into a mafia persona. He even punched guapdad4000 in the face apparently

He had some niggas jump smokepurrp and Adam22 and a few others behind the scenes. The consensus was he was lame for paying people to handle his problems. He was like “rich bosses don’t get their hands dirty”.

Just goes to show you how people pick and choose. If Drake or Carti did that the stans would cream themselves

russ an amazing businessman especially given the quality of his music

You wasnt outside

Yup

Getting punched in the face by RUSS is crazy ngl
