Evolution of Russian rap - from the origins of the popular genre to the present day
Содержание
The birth of hip-hop in the Russian Federation began in the Soviet years, the exact eighties of the last century. If the first time the admirers of the direction were relatively few, then in the period after the millennium the number of fans rapidly increased. Let's talk about the most important events and stages of development of Russian rap, which occurred in this century and influenced the formation of the direction.
Origins
Among the first rappers in the Russian Federation who reached notable heights, it is worth noting the following Masters of Sheff or Vlada Valova. When he realised the prospect of the direction quite clearly, he also became the producer of a budding and promising . Dezlawho he also trained and counselled. Did Valov realise that now the audience of potential fans would be much wider? Probably. Did he know that the ambitious teenager would become a true legend of the direction? It is unlikely.
Year two thousand. The talented and very young Kirill Tolmatsky releases his first album. No one even expected the album to have "Who are you." will have that potential. It found its own audience of fans and critics alike. But the title song became one of the brightest and unconventional trends, as up to that moment the longplays had not soared to the top of the charts. Another notable breakthrough of the same year from Ligalayza. But back then, the band was called "Legal Business$$". Album "Rhyme Mafia." managed to make a serious impression on the public. Being on the wave of success, a year later Kirill Tolmatsky releases his second album. "To a street fighter." managed to build on the success of the young musician's debut album.
In the same year, the audience was also pleased with the performers from Bad Balance. Their album, titled "Stone Forest." the listeners appreciated quite highly. A group from the capital called "Perennial." is releasing his album "Life and Liberty.". Its success was so undeniable that the disc was relaunched a few years later.
A couple of years later, a place on the musical Olympus begins to be earned "Casta.". Almost a classic work of the collective can be considered "Quieter waters.". On the wave of success musicians begin to find out relationships. Master Sheff and his colleagues from "Legalize" were no exception to the rule. Disputes and conflicts were so tough that the development of events was followed by fans of musicians with great interest. By
In one version, Tolmatsky also added fuel to the fire by pushing the L.A. to co-operate with the League.
New trends
In just a few years from a young performer Kirill Tolmatsky managed to become a real star. In two thousand and four years he decided to release "Detsl a.k.a. Le Truk"which became the third studio compilation. St. Petersburg performers begin to occupy a separate place. On the pedestal comes Smokey Mo и Krec with his compilations.
Another year has passed and Ligalayzom is still competing with Master Sheff. The performers are each releasing a new solo album. The studio man "XL." gets the attention of the public, but it's too early to celebrate the top spot in the charts, as the arena is filled with the Basta. Original sound, bold lyrics allow Vakulenko to declare that he has decided to take the first place on the pedestal, not just present one successful disc.
The two thousand seventh. "Swing." from Centr и "City of Roads." Guf become recognised hits. The sharp theme of forbidden drugs and hard, non-normative in Alexey Dolmatov's works opened a new page of the direction.
Another year later, rapcore and grime became fresh trends, the traditions of which were destined to be established in the Russian Federation to Oxymiron и Noize MC. Now we could say for sure that rap in Russia exists, and it is popular, loved by the public. The musicians' debut albums make a lasting impression on the public.
New Wave
Year Nine. After a wave of crisis, new problems and new performers appear. Urals duo AK-47 hits the mark with his solo album. At the same time, a chart-topping album succeeds in "Grotto.", Rem Digge and a group called 25/17. One year later. "The Last Album." Noize MC manages to get the attention of the public. Studio man "The Eternal Jew." from Oxymiron sound vivid. Now a new method of release in the volume of respected performers gives releases YouTube. Compositions Fairs manages to get views in the millions.
From that moment on, the form of presentation and even the way to make yourself known has changed radically. If a dozen years ago you had to pour a lot of money into a musician, and for that you had to initially get the support of sponsors, now it's easier to become a star. It is enough to loudly announce yourself through platforms, social networks, to collect your group of fans. The show industry bosses will extend a hand of friendship themselves. L'One becomes a new star in a year. Not wanting to get too sophisticated "New Album." pleases Noize MC. The development of claude rap becomes a noticeable trend by the fifteenth year. Kizaru и Pharaoh stand out among the representatives of the direction. Johnyboy has a colourful battle with Oxymiron. In the same year, his solo album gains record-breaking listens on iTunes Skriptonite.and it's a debut.
A year later, a band from Ukraine announced itself "Mushrooms."and conquered the vastness of the Internet. It was during this period that both well-known rappers and bloggers were actively releasing new albums. Yuri Khovarsky, Eldar Dzharakhov become the originators of a new trend. LJ's wave comes with a new sound.
Year twenty-twenty. The birth of a star Morgenstern becomes a breakthrough. His work breaks records in several ways at once. For almost a couple of years, he holds the top position, while Kizaru with the Big Baby Tape are hesitant to enter the competition.
