yo

Russ dad is in marketing as well.

Y’all haters going out sad
Like yeah this prolly helped him and his family grow up in the burbs but wtf does this have to do w the music industry

they look like sum real niggas fr

Damn some of y'all are way madder than I supposedly am haha.

I'm really not that pressed about it. As someone who's had to claw my way up through life, it does bother me slightly that some people get to start out on easy mode and others don't. But it's all good, clout isn't everything and there's always another way to find happiness.

I can't reply to all these posts but I'll try to get around to at least a few of them at some point.

"I'm the face of my city!"

Turns out the city is just some white country bumpkins

Classic thread already

This thread has really negative energy

The absolute hatred and jealousy people on this site have for anyone successful is wild. Always looking for some sliver of validation for why someone else was possibly able to make it big

OP stooped real low for this one.

Damn he looks just like his mom

Dude called it marketing, like some big corporate sponsor when it’s basically a f***ing FastSigns franchise lmaoooooooo

They’re putting up signs outsides churches and doctor offices and dudes acting like they’re tech billionaires

Lot of hoops you’re jumping through

I heard rumors from people from Louisville that he had free advertising around the city (like billboards) at some point before blowing up. Also he just came from money in general. Even if his family just worked in signs, they're still CEOs. They probably have connections to PR firms, could buy opportunities that others didn't.

Money and family background alone are just part of the equation, that's true. Talent and work ethic still play into it. But there's a lot of kids from bad backgrounds who have the talent and work ethic, without the money and family background.

But if this is where the culture is at, it's all good. I'm just seeing what people think. Maybe upper class white kids do need a voice in rap. At the end of the day, there's more things to focus energy on.

I love that you don't address people that keep mentioning Rev Run's kids tho lmfao

Lmao look at diddys son he couldn’t even get on

Another white plant rapper

The second post I made above was meant to respond to people saying things like that

Money and connections alone don't blow somebody up, it's just part of it. I acknowledged from the very first post that Jack put work in and he had talent. But again, there's kids from the hood who put in just as much work, have just as much talent, but go nowhere.

I want the game to be more even for kids like that, but you know, maybe people would be better off looking at other opportunities, businesses outside of rap. Cultures shift, and if the people speak, I can't hate that. Driven people will find some other avenue to succeed in.

He still slaps

Yeah bro that’s how the world works lmao

You need money to make it. You need money to buy studio time, get put on blogs, etc etc

That’s not just the music industry. You need money and connections to do things.

There are very few people who make it in talent alone and the ones that do end up as the greatest of all time in their profession

First they come for David p now they coming for young Harlow smh
