Russian hip hop
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Russian hip hop is hip hop music produced in Russia and/or in the Russian language.
Russian rap is quite similar to old school rap in North America[citation needed]. The artist is concentrated on rapping, not as much as on the rhythm or the beat[citation needed]. Because of the limited resources of the artists the beats are often produced using music programs like Cubase as opposed to having a DJ spin records. Bootleg versions of these programs can be purchased from black market street vendors for only a few dollars or downloaded from the internet. The first more or less known pioneers of Russian rap was a group called Malchishnik (Мальчи́шник), but the recognition of the rap genre came with the rise of a Moscow team Bad B.,with their album "Naletchiki Bad B." being released in 1994.
Only a few Russian rap artists have achieved commercial success: Detsl (Децл), Bad Balance/Bad.B (Плохо́й Ба́ланс/Бад Би), Kasta (Ка́ста) and the Belarusian artist Seryoga (Сере́га), who combined original rap with the native Russian satiric song genre chastushka which some critics consider a new branch in the rap genre: rap-chastushka. Although most of rap fans believe he does not belong to the Russian rap scene[citation needed], the musician won the nomination for best Russian rap in 2005 on the RMA (Russian Music Awards). Numerous Russian hip-hop musicians hold full time jobs or are enrolled as full-time college students, making rap their part-time hobby.
