Russell Simmons has recently been on the press circuit promoting his book Success Through Stillness. The keys to that are meditating through keeping a clear mind. Sitting in meditation for 20 minutes per day gives you great focus. Even though there are tons of videos of Russell online promoting this book, Uncle Rush sat down with DJ Whoo Kid creating an uncensored, uncut, and no holds barred interview. Even though Russell is as successful as he is, you see that he is a regular guy at the end of the day.
Working through the numerous woes that come with the music industry and being a high level exec, Russell also gives DJ Whoo Kid some great insight about his time spent in the studio with Jay-Z, being a Vegan, Homosexuality in the NBA, Phat Farm, Miley Cyrus, Getting dusted in Whoo Kid’s old neighborhood in Queens and more. The funniest moment is when Russell said, Biggie would have probably fucked with Miley, he probably would have put his dick in her mouth.
Remember if you’re a great giver, you’re a great getter. And the principle you should take away from this interview, is to worry about the work first and the money later. That ties back to Russell and Rick Rubin remembering LL Cool J’s first demo, but not the first check they received from the project.
