Robin Hughes Harris Sr. (August 30, 1953 - March 18, 1990) was an American comedian and actor, best known for his recurring comic sketch about "Bébé's Kids". He was posthumously nominated for the Independent Spirit Award for Best Supporting Male for his performance in the film House Party. Source Wikipedia
Still blows my mind that he did not live to see 40 year's old.
Seems like a genius business move by Eddie Murphy to have turned down hosting Def Comedy Jam. He seems to be one of the few "stars" who consciously lays low, avoids the limelight, and who overstands that, "Less is more." Eddie, Prince, Jerry Seinfeld, and George Clooney immediately come to mind as entertainers who overstood that limiting your exposure adds to your mystique.
You caint TAKE AWAY from Def Jam legacy because Russell has his personal issues 💯. The MANY BRILLIANT ONES that CHOSE IT - Martin, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, DL, Earthquake, on and on… were just as brilliant! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙏🏾🎭💜🌎💯😎
Or maybe he just thought Martin was the best man for that job.. stop over thinking sht.
@@blissdad13exactly 💯.
Wish I would have learned sooner, surround yourself with the right people 💯
It's not too late... this is in fact the key to success
Or sell your soul to the devil
It makes sense he was in debt by the time he sold. I didn’t think the record label could have been in debt… not with all the subsidiaries labels under def jam. But for Phat farm, rush card, rush management, etc it was a good time to sell. Damn what is it like to have privacy on a yacht🙇🏻♀️ a rich man once told me he would never spoil it for me…
Russell is very smart he remembers everything✅
He is a meticulous speaker. The setting is impressive also.
Yeah that's how people with skeletons move and speak
A lot of gems 💎🔥
Very well spoken guy.
Rick R taught Russell and others in Hip Hop about the “ Dark Arts “.
Is that Jewish kabalah?
Lol.. crickets.. is about the amount of folks Russell has left on his team..
Plenty of people are behind him but in the shadows. Look at what he’s built in Bali. Keep in mind he has no pending charges.
This guy should be a multi billionaire. He had a hand in launching so many careers
Where did the Capital come from to launch his business ventures? Those Billionaires and Millionaires got back major interests in their investments.
He had his hand up women's skirts and hand down men's pants....😂
@@onionhortonjrThat’s NOT FUNNY.
@@carpediem4512 it kinda is
Ex wife. When she leaves ur ass she gon leave with half
I think drugs are involved when he feels like it and that he’s no monk. He’s just a little man who’s good at sitting cris cross apple sauce.
😂😂😂😂
I feel inspired by what this mans legacy has done in this game we call life.
Definitely look at all the artist that were on def jam under him
Golden Age of Talent
I watched this and I'm HAPPY 4 Him..
How did Russel Simmons run into money problems? This dude was supposed to be richer than Jay Z
Ex wife. When she leaves ur ass she gon leave with half
Great interview
His PR team wanted to make it seem as if he has remorse but I don’t see an ounce of it. Just a narcissist.
There's no charges pending against him in the US, so come back and face what??
Very well said
Rush associated labels 🏷️ (management) Eric b and rakim
He can't sell something he doesn't own .
Russel simmons wont dare step foot in america again😅😅. He knows what time it is if the law gets their hands on him
I don't blame him. The worst justice system in the world 🌎
Lie....he's been back many times
He has come in and out of America a couple times a year. There's no warrants out for him, no indictments on him, no grand jury is looking at him .
This is why we will never own hip hop again
Shout out Warren G 💯
he kept the lights on over there at def jam
He should come back to the USA and face what he’s done!!
Face
Hes facing no charges dude lol the chick that lied has no case statue of limitations ran out
Face what?!
He's been back many times
Russell Simmons is a trendsetter.
Hmm. Nobody is watching this and the crickets in the background hurt the interview. Fire the audio guy.
He turned up the bug sounds lmao
Yet you’re here watching this.
I’m watching
Those are sum big bugs
Doesn’t bother me
money laundrey and selling souls
Trump always help Black Men. MAGA 💪🏾
Really? How? Please explain. Thanks.
@@6time686 Facts are facts.
Turn off CNN and do your research. Get educated.
@@6time686 You don't know what "help" means?
Go back to school and get an education.
i feel like i never get the real story from russ. it's always twisted and con-babbled
When money can’t save you from prison? His only offspring are girls…the irony! #groomer #rapist
I'm praying for you.
Ignoramous
How did Trump help him out? According to cnn and msnbc he a racist 😂
Lets be real debt is some times a strategic move in business
I think its very weird that he dipped off to Bali
