Cultcow Russell Greer / @ just_some_dude_named_russell29 / A Safer Nevada PAC - Swift-Obsessed Sex Pest, Convicted of E-Stalking, "Eggshell Skull Plaintiff" Pro Se Litigant, Homeless, aspiring brothel owner

[The Un-Clit]

He doesn't understand that even Nepobabies in the industry also need talent to be successful. Miley Cyrus had a lot of help by just being Billy Ray's daughter, but if she was on the same level of Russell Greee, she wouldn't be successful, no matter how much they tried shoving her down the public's throat.

Exactly. For proof of this, look up the band "The Shaggs" a group of borderline retarded and musically untalented sisters pushed so hard by their father who had musical contacts of some kind and even got them a recording deal, only for their jangling discordant nonsense songs to have almost no airplay, and what little their was was for mockery and "so bad its funny" purposes.

"My pal Foot-Foot" about their lost cat is my personal fave and about Russell Greer's talent level too.

 

[AnOminous]

People listened to Django Reinhart in spite of his fucked up hand, not because of it.

He also invented a unique personal style of picking specifically tailored to his "disability," which was so well regarded even guitarists with all their fingers imitate it to this day.

All Russ does is lazy glurgy slop. He sucks.

 

[Debbie Macomber]

Honestly I can't make it out as his terrible singing drowns out whatever sound there is there.


Like that Romanian one he hired to star in his crappy Yovanna video?

1) The girl in the video is pretty in a generic skinny slavic way but in no universe is she a visual fit for a horny spank bank music video about a Dominican girl named Yovanna.
2) That video was clearly not filmed anywhere near the Dominican Republic...C'mon Crusty Rusty, you couldn't get this made at least somewhere in the world where they speak Spanish and most of the girls have dark hair?
3) Why was she suddenly in a grocery store parking lot?
4) At the line about enchiladas (that are themselves not a Dominican food) the girl is eating TACOS and it looked like she was salting them...
5) I'm sure she's wearing her own clothes throughout and I don't blame her for the unimaginative scripting of "walk through places near your apartment, occasionally look back at the camera, break out a few dance moves, then walk away again"

I wonder if the video was shot specifically for Russ, or if those are just the same 4 or 5 clips they edit into music videos for all their clients.

We know at least one shot was custom cause he made her drink a Red Bull to go with the lyric:

”Your smile's like Red Bull
You give me wings
You make me feel like I can fly"

Such cinematic choices truly convey the genius that is Russell G. Greer.

GREEE's music is so bad he couldn't even manage an outsider artist following like The Shaggs or Jandek (pour one out for @J A N D E K) or Daniel Johnston. It has absolutely nothing going for it, no charm, no personality, no lyricism. It's just complete garbage.

 

[ScooterL]

I'm kinda surprised that none of us thought of it

Greeer has been done, but it never caught on. Just looked like a typo until Russell did it.

The Shaggs were light years ahead of Russell. Frank Zappa allegedly declared they were "better than the Beatles".

They might have played like they'd just been shot in the head, but least they sang about their own lives, instead of a bunch of Taylor Swift song titles.

 

[I Hate The Disabled]

All Russell's songs are "let me fuck you, PLEASE let me fuck you. I just need to fuck something, anything. PLEASE!"

 

[AnOminous]

The Shaggs were light years ahead of Russell. Frank Zappa allegedly declared they were "better than the Beatles".

Zappa pretty routinely talked shit about the Beatles and hated John Lennon specifically. Also more generally he detested hippies and drug culture, despite looking kind of like a hippie himself.

It's true though that the Shaggs had a certain naive charm despite their near total lack of actual music ability. They're kind of a sad story because their dick of a dad was apparently brutally abusive and even molested them.

 

[Swole McPole]

But no, as always, Crusty Rusty wants to jump to the top of the mountain and do absolutely none of the hard work required to be successful.

And when he doesn't get what he thinks he's entitled to immediately, he seems to lose interest/quit. Most musicians recognize that it's a grind. Nobody hits big with their first efforts, and they're all about the grind. Putting the work out there and building an audience.

But Russell doesn't want to be a songwriter. Anonymous songwriters don't get to pull the chicks -- not while they're coming up, anyway. So he wants to be centre stage. Presumably because he thinks some blind hotty will take pity on him? Or perhaps because he knows that some girls will fuck anybody who happens to be rich and famous, regardless of how grotesque they are?

Because he is grotesque. Inside and out.

Zappa pretty routinely talked shit about the Beatles and hated John Lennon specifically. Also more generally he detested hippies and drug culture, despite looking kind of like a hippie himself.

I kind of hero worshipped Zappa when I was a teenager. Only In It For The Money might be the first album I ever bought for myself -- from the original Nems shop where Brian Epstein had his office upstairs. And even after I'd stopped listening to his music, I still had a lot of regard for him because of his standing up against those housewife/politicians who wanted to censor rock music.

But there was definitely something of an asshole about him. Hippies and drug culture was paying his wages. Nobody was checking for his painful Stravinsky/Bartok type stylings. And like many people with a bug up their arse about other people's drug use, he seems to have been a relentless coomer -- obsessed with groupies,

Penn Jillette seems to be cut from the same cloth. Makes a great to do about how drugs and alcohol have never passed his lips but I just read one of his crime novels and it was gross. How can somebody as old as Jillette still be obsessed with being a coomer. It's embarrassing.

 

[The Dude]

The Shaggs were far more talented than the Greeetard ever will be, and had more genuine fans who legit appreciated their music than Russ could ever hope to have.

 

[Gorton Colu]

All Russell's songs are "let me fuck you, PLEASE let me fuck you. I just need to fuck something, anything. PLEASE!"

With your handle, I keep hoping one of your posts ends up on some document of plightspergery by Russell.

Exactly. I remember when Will Smith tried to make his son a movie star.

Me too, and I still view him as one of the few true musical geniuses of his time, a time generally regarded as rich with prodigies. The funny thing is I used to hate his instrumental stuff, because I got in through the edgelord stuff where he said naughty no-no words, and his particular style is actually bizarre.

However, his depth of knowledge of musical theory and actual abilities finally clicked with me some time in my 30s and that's mainly what I listen to now.

So basically 30 years or so ago, I'd mainly listen to things like We're Only in It for the Money and Joe's Garage (both phenomenal albums), but now the most likely album I'll listen to is Hot Rats. Peaches en Regalia is just such an awesome song (even made the jazz fakebook) and there's nothing bad on the album.

A lot of his instrumental stuff is as musically shitposty as his lyrics, but good. I've actually laughed out loud at some of his instrumental pieces on finally figuring out what he was doing.

I was never particularly surprised by Frank being a coomer. I mean seriously, how could the guy who wrote "Crew Slut" and "Catholic Girls" not be one?

It looks just like a Telefunken U47.

Tbh I can't bring myself to hate Penn either. I'm not particularly tempted to read his novels though.

Penn Jillette was always a massive coomer. I still remember an article I read on him in Wired (this was in the early 90s when Wired was fresh and interesting) and the interviewer was struck, upon visiting his home at the massive wall of porn tapes behind his desk including one called "Really Hard Kink vol 2" and the interviewer was wondering "what could volume one have left out?" so yeah. He's still one funny guy though.

You think at this point Rusty would aim for just a chick that he doesn't have to pay that isn't profoundly intellectually retarded.

Attractive woman + not retarded + can tolerate Russell Greer.

Surely the shot with the tacos was custom made.

J Lo’s Taco Flavored Kisses was a better song and music video than Yo Yovanna was.

 

[reptile baht spaniard rid]

If you aren't truly exceptional, you can't bypass the normal way the system works. The fact that Greeee thinks he is either that talented, or that no one else has thought they they can just bypass the system and go right to the top demonstrates the level of delusion under which he functions.

Greee doesn't realize TWO things - one, that the top people in a field, almost without exception, are extremely talented - maybe not in the same way, but they put in some damn work. But the main thing he misses is just how talented the NON top people are. Sure, the famous lyricists like Kanye or Weird Al are talented as hell, but there are people writing songs for local bands that are talented, way better than Greee. And even if they're not amazing at it, they put in the work and review what they've done, and see how to improve, and try again and again and again.

Greee tries once and then gives up (unless it's lawsuiting a whoredom into being, for some reason he never gives up on the courts).

Compare Yo, Yovanna to Friday (Rebecca Black). Friday is so bad it's good but it technically is a song and it's not immediately obvious what it did "wrong". Yo, Yovanna is just ... bad. It's like a rough draft that hasn't even been reworked once.

Spoiler: chatgpt shat out yo yovanna redux for you

“Yovanna (Ultralight Queen)”

(Verse 1)
Yeah, Yovanna,
You shine like sunrise in Ghana
Soul hot like a sauna
Walk in the room and the aura go manna

Wings on my back, I’m ascending
Smile like Red Bull mixed with a blessing
You ain't a vibe, girl — you the essence
You ain’t a post, girl — you the message

I ain’t tryna thirst, I’m tryna thank you
God took a paintbrush, then he banked you
You the Louvre and the verse, girl — I frame you
Five million eyes can’t contain you

---

(Hook)
Yo, Yovanna!
Queen in the tropics, move like drama
Lights dim when you step, no karma
Just glow, girl, you lit like Wakanda
Yeah, yeah —
Do you wanna
Slow down? Or keep that thunder?
'Cause every step got the Earth in wonder
Dominicana got the whole world under

---

(Verse 2)
You Barahona beaches, ocean preachin’
Eyes like tides — I’m pulled, no speakin’
You got the spice like abuela’s kitchen
Life’s enchilada, you the whole mission

Smile like Mona, but louder
Da Vinci saw you, started sketchin’ for hours
You not a muse, you the reason for art
You ain't just beauty — you the beat of the heart

---

(Bridge – Auto-tune fade, 808 drop)
And I thank youuuu (yeezy harmonies)
Even if my words get lost in the loop
5 million deep — still I shoot my truth
No cap, no stunt — this all for you

So I pray one day you press play
And hear this wave, and feel this way
Not just fame, not just views
But real ones singing “thank you” to you

---

*(Hook – Choir echoing “Yovanna”)
Yo, Yovanna!
Queen in the tropics, move like drama
Lights dim when you step, no karma
Just glow, girl, you lit like Wakanda
Yeah, yeah —
Do you wanna
Slow down? Or keep that thunder?
'Cause every step got the Earth in wonder
Dominicana got the whole world under

---

(Outro – Spoken word Ye style)
Yovanna,
This ain’t a track, it’s a timestamp.
It’s a rose in a world of algorithms.
It’s me sayin’ you already the wave —
I just put it in stereo.
Keep bein’ legendary.

Pretty sure he can look past the "retarded" part.

It's true though that the Shaggs had a certain naive charm despite their near total lack of actual music ability. They're kind of a sad story because their dick of a dad was apparently brutally abusive and even molested them.

Agree. Part of the charm is they authentically express their experience of life. It takes an abused kid to write as a chorus: "You can never please anybody in this world".

Russell can only dream of doing what The Shaggs did. Nobody will be talking about his shitty songs fifty years from now.
