Analytic Dreamz: Notorious Mass Effect - "RUSS - THAT'S MY GIRL & TIRED"

Starting point is 00:00:00 now obviously Russ must have a girlfriend because that man failed the open book test because let me tell you something after seeing party next door's album cover this type of track should have had that type of woman as far as the video vixen is considered you know I'm saying no disrespect to the one that he chose for the video but it's almost as one of those to where if you have a girlfriend, maybe you choose somebody that's not as, you know, I mean, as, you know, your girlfriend. So then, you know, you could say, hey, like, come on now. Like, you know what I mean? It's just work. So with the immaturity set to the side, this track is beyond fire. It's like a chorus that never ends. The tone is a throwback. I forget what it's

Starting point is 00:01:01 samples. I think I'm trying to think of what it samples. I forget what it samples. But anyways, it samples something popular. I know that for a fact. I just can't put my finger on it. But I'm talking about specifically the That's My Girl track because of course

Starting point is 00:01:22 the track that follows that up is tired and that's a two song EP. Basically all of them are out on DSPs now for you to listen to. And the biggest thing is that tired is more of a lyrical spat of getting across his emotions on his daily struggles and responsibilities. It's more of a grown-up track.

Starting point is 00:01:44 Russ, you know, for all intents and purposes, has retroactively came back to give us grown-up rap. When he first came into the game, a lot of different outlets he was on. Like I remember one time he was on everyday struggle. And if you're a hip-hop, you know, connoisseur you probably know who nadeska is if you don't she's somebody pretty pivotal in covering hip hop as a journalist so he went on everyday struggle in the way he kind of went at her even if he has some type of point to make it was very aggressive and put offish if that's even a phrase to people

Starting point is 00:02:28 who was first time russ um viewers you know i mean first time seeing Russ and if that's how he's acting people could get turned off by the persona which inherently i believe is what happened a lot of hate trains was sent towards russ's way doesn't help that he always talks about him producing rapping and basically doing everything as far as creating the the track you know and people started to make jokes like oh did did Did Russ make the microphone or, you know, things of that nature? But I don't want to focus solely on the hate train that Russ has, you know, inherently created for himself.

Starting point is 00:03:13 But now, retroactively, he has came back and he's given us more reflective statements over, if it's on the social media, reflective statements are, I remember Andrew Schultz's flagrant podcast, one of the best, like, interviewer, uh, interviewer. of a hip-hop artist as far as if you want to get the spectrum of the industry. Any Russ interview with Joe Budden, I don't know if he's done academics, but the Andrew one, all three of those just priceless information on how the hip-hop industry goes. Because if you don't know, Russ is independent. I believe Russ is still independent because I know last time.

Starting point is 00:04:02 my check so what that tells me is he's not playing the games anymore yeah it's 2024 diamond or demon i don't know i'll just say his last name but anyways yeah so he's independent um talks about how he puts his music out through tune core if you don't know tune core is one of those uh platforms for independent artists to get their music out on dsps which nowadays is a lot of ways to get your music out on ds um some that just came in a past year or two. So with that being said, Russ is one of the people who capitalized off of that. Obviously, he signed later in this career, but, but he went back to being independent once he, he breaks it all down his own hip hop interview. Like breaking it all down here, we'll be here for

Starting point is 00:04:53 hours, which is why he literally has a book called It's All in Your Head. That's about 160 pages, so a very quick read and um it released like back in november i believe 2019 i believe it wasn't i don't think it was 2019 maybe it was i don't know anyways and then you say he drew inspiration from books like the alchemist and the seven spiritual laws of success so the book is all in your head i would say is a must read and um what else i mean he was touring but I think he stopped I think his last show was in Barclays in Brooklyn I don't know about his upcoming album I see if I got everything yeah that's basically it so you know my personal sentiments set to aside this man has really

Starting point is 00:05:48 retroactively show people that he's not just some ego maniac that only thinks about himself he's one of those that actually has introspective perspectives if that makes sense i think the same thing anyways on the industry that will be eye opening for hip hop connoisseurs and for that it's definitely something and worth checking out as most hip-hop artists will gatekeep the type of information that russ would give you for free so with that being said click my link to my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about russ's new ep that's my girl and tired and also out of those two tracks which is you your favorite and do you think Russ has effectively beat the hate train as far as when he

Starting point is 00:06:41 first started out?
