(FROM RUFF CRIMINAL’s YT)

“I ain't nothing but a Sound Dog. [Reviewing albums (and sometimes movies) in 10 seconds or less] all the time.

My own spin (parody really) of the youtube criticism/review scene. I'm all about efficiency. Get in, get out, go listen to the music. My only objectives with this channel are (1) to make you laugh, and (2) to make you listen to music. If I can accomplish one or both of those, I'm good.

I never expected to gain an actual audience from this concept. You all are hilarious, thank you! I'm not sure where I'll go from here, but I'm having fun with this, and I hope you are too. If you love music as much as me, please listen to the albums and check out the channels that I'm subscribed to, they are all more worthy of your time and attention than I am.”

ETHEREAL.PRESS asked pointed questions to keep consistent with the theme of a 10-second response.

RUFF CRIMINAL

A bucket list experience that I never would’ve thought to put on a bucket list. Right place right time, truly! I’ve been a huge fan for years.

ETHEREAL.PRESS

What albums/artists have you been enjoying recently?

RUFF CRIMINAL

Listening to a lot of Kurt Vile (watch my moves) and everybody’s favorite Drake album Honestly, Nevermind (which I genuinely love).

ETHEREAL.PRESS

Where did the concept for 10-second reviews originate?

RUFF CRIMINAL

My little brother teased me for being too wordy in talking about movies, so I thought it’d be fun to create a version of myself who does quite the opposite.

Favorite vinyl you own?

RUFF CRIMINAL

This guy is neither rough nor a criminal—his scripts are tight and he plays by the rules. End caption would be “Not bad for a guy who films on the front-facing camera of his phone.

ETHEREAL.PRESS

What's next for Ruff Criminal?

RUFF CRIMINAL

Continuing my quest to make good, longer videos on topics/albums I care about. Hoping to hit 100K subscribers, get my YouTube award (review it in 10 seconds) and keep it moving. As long as I’m having fun with it, I’m good!
