Russ

But I would only get pissed off when, like, artists would talk shit.

Because to me...

We're supposed to be on the same team.

And you know how this shit goes.

You know, like, people, you know, mob mentality, smear campaigns, everyone coming at you for some bullshit.

Like, we're all supposed to sort of be under the same understanding that look.

at any given time, we'll all probably be the target of some bullshit online nonsense, right?

But us as artists shouldn't contribute to another artist's downfall or mockery or whatever.

So when other artists were talking shit, that's when I was like, you know better.

You're using your platform to come over here and fuck with me and basically make your fans not fuck with me?

Like, dog, nah.

is into being competitive like that's that's part of the genre they weren't being competitive because they had never even heard the music it wasn't like yo i can rap better than you oh i can sing but it was like fuck you bitch but that's like that's that's a reflection of where we at with music now that's not competitive that's just like that's just like we're all beating up russ we're all joking on russ and you're getting your licks in because it's the fun thing to do but it's like

For sure.

For sure.

But at the same time, see, I don't take it personal.

Meaning... That's the difference.

Like, I don't go for personal digs.

I might be like, you can't fuck with me in the studio.

I don't say...

fuck you bitch you're whack as fuck as a human being you know what i'm saying like that's like that to me you're no longer being competitive you're trying to like uh insinuate or not insinuate you're trying to uh instigate some sort of like mob mentality that we don't fuck with russ yeah and it has nothing to do with music if you want to be competitive keep it on the music
