Who reads the best of all: the best reference of Russia
"Music Street" has long been a leader among the preferences of the lion's share of the young population of the country.
What is Russian rap?
In our country, rap is still relatively young, likemusical genre it appeared only in the early 1990s. It is worth remembering the first releases of the group "Bachelor Party", propagandizing "Sex without a break". For the group, it was just a golden vein, since only a few decided to talk about sex. It's no wonder that an album with a similar name became a hit album and sold out faster than hot pies. In 1994, there was a certain Mr. Malaya with hits on all the radio stations. And then the time came for the legendary Bogdan Titomir, who is now better known for his winged phrases, like "People hawala," and not songs. In 1996, at the helm of the Russian rap was the band Bad Balance. Approximately at the same time, the best rapper in Russia loudly proclaimed itself, if the criterion to put poetry, is the Dolphin. His album "Out of Focus" greatly raised the level of quality. A year later, his only solo album "Bitch Love" was released by Micah, and this is perhaps the only case when the songs remained relevant for centuries.
Quality criteria
Calling Dolphin the best poetic, not at allwe diminish the merits of other rappers. It so happened that the list of the best reference points in Russia began to be compiled for a long time, and the criteria for getting there are very variable. It would be strange if all the leaders were identical in sound, manner of reading and rhyming. The first festival of Russian rap fell on 1991.
On the wave of showbiz
Big money and beckon today's rappers. Alas, but most of the songs are written not for the sake of art, but for the sake of the ringing of despicable metal. Like mushrooms after the rain, Russian hip-hop labels are expanding, new performers are appearing. A pioneer in this field was the unforgettable "Legal Business $$" under the leadership of Vlad Valov, who himself in the past performed quite successfully. By the way, it was Valov who became the producer of Decl, whose success in commercial terms has so far not surpassed. Political hip-hop became a fertile topic. The performers have described and continue to describe their vision of the situation in the country and the world.
The best of the best
It will be more correct to voice the top fiveopinion of the majority. So, despite the large number of negative responses, the whole army of opponents, the most successful performer after three years can be called Gufa. Is he the best benchmark in Russia?
In second place by popularity is Basta. According to many, this is really the best benchmark of Russia, the responses about it are predominantly positive. Basta communicates with the "right" people, produces really "hit" songs and lacks life themes. From Guf lags 7%, and the number of tracks leaves it far behind.
The third place at Nojs MS. He is really a poet of his time and a master of speed reading. Neus skillfully rhymes and improvises. His main "chip" is personal pain, fear and fury. The main audience is teenagers, which, meanwhile, does not prevent him from sticking to confident favorites around the country.
Unexpected backlog
The fourth and fifth place among the leaders occupyTimati and Casta. To put it bluntly, this is an amazing result, because in general the performers have the most responses and admirers. "Caste" is the founder of Russian rap, does not lose relevance for many years. Affects the lack of activity in the media. "Caste" is mainly popularized at the expense of loyal fans, who from year to year make "cash" to their beloved group.
With Timati things are even more interesting, because he does notonly enters the TOP of the best benchmarks of Russia, but also gradually breaks the path to the West. Timati managed to sing with some pretty well-known performers of the United States. He created his own label and spun young performers. Why is he not the first? Also affects the omissions of the artist's team, a cool attitude to their own Internet resources, although the "Twitter" performer beats all records.
Promising guys
Do not despair and "young", because rappers give way and beginners. For this, for example, you can take part in an online competition InDaBattle, which has been a history since 2009.
