    Honestly I’m absolutely no expert either. It’s just slowly been seeping into the vocabulary of a few gamers I watch on YouTube.

    I’m open to be corrected if anyone has a clearer definition.

      “Let Russ Cook” was a catchphrase in the NFL a few years ago, talking about Russell Wilson. There’s even a Know Your Meme entry on it which says:

      essentially meaning let Russell Wilson be himself and do his thing,

      This apparently originated from a 2019 tweet but can be traced back to:

      a YouTube fan video set to a Lil B song uploaded on July 14th, 2010. The video is titled, “LIL B BASED COOKING (LET THAT BOY COOK),” and features YouTuber Jordan Collier doing a stirring motion with his hand as he dances to Lil B’s track “Suck My Dick Hoe.”
