Hip-hop has long been not only the culture of the streets. Rap is now the most popular musical genre, diverse in sound and semantic content. Of course, stupid or very strange lyrics are found in many performers. But sometimes quotes from Russian rappers are simply amazing in their depth.

Casta

Casta is a group of four members from Rostov-on-Don. Their first album, Louder Than Water, Higher Grass, was released back in 2002. The performers did not just copy Western artists, as most representatives of the rap scene of the beginning of the millennium, but adapted the style and theme for the Russian public.

Basta

Basta, who participated in the creation of the Kasta group and subsequently separated from it, is one of the classics of Russian hip-hop, who achieved great success in the second half of the 2000s, when many still did not take this genre seriously. Many of the rapper's quotes are great motivators for great things.

• I have lived many lives on the road.

Guf

Guf is another representative of the old school and the brightest of the members of the Centr group. Many of the rapper's quotes are sincere and frank. He talks a lot about his life path, about the mistakes he made, about his imperfection and psychological problems.

• All my friends are complete morons, I am also on this list among them and for some reason I am in the lead.

• Why did you decide that you have the right to decide for everyone?

Slim

Slim started rapping in the late 90s, but became famous only a decade later, with the release of the first album of the group Centr, whose former members remain the most famous veterans of the Moscow school. It was Slimus who did most of the beats for the band. And he, like no one else, knows how to reveal the themes of streets, entrances and sleeping areas that are standard for rap zero themes.

• Gnu my line. Heaven love me! The city will remember us exactly like this.
• Like kidsWe don't hide the tricks in Telegram.

• The streets remember us, the principles remained, I put them on the scales, but the arrow did not move.

Negative

Nigativ, like Casta, hails from the south. For about 15 years he was in the Triada group, while also doing solo work. Like most old-school hip-hop artists, Nigative considered the meaning of the lyrics to be paramount, emphasizing that the content in rap is much more important than the form.

• Advised to go to St. Petersburg or Moscow, but I'm here, my route is at most the neighboring pond.
• Drop it all to hell, drive them away to at least briefly hug your daughter.

• Milliliters of hardship, grams of joy, sadness, a pinch of drama for everyone to enjoy.

Smoky Mo

Smoky Mo is one of the first "rap intellectuals", who back in 2004 moved far away from the usual schemes about the life of "simple boys". Smokey belongs to the classical Petersburg school of hip-hop. The rapper's quotes and references to his lines can be found in the tracks of many artists of the genre.

Krec

The leader of the group Krec Fuze, together with one of the most unusual rappers in Russia, Assai, created a special styleSt. Petersburg lyrics, full of metaphorical and metaphysical meanings. Fans know by heart a lot of quotes from rappers singing "good sadness".

Assai

After leaving Krec, Assai released several albums that are fundamentally different from all other music in the hip-hop genre. Assai's texts are always an abstraction, conveying sensations through images. Even when the rapper abandons the usual ways of rhyming and rhythmic organization of phrases, the melody of his lyrics remains very close to poetic.

• Let's sail away for the buoys, there the sky closer to us gives heaven on earth.
• I need the warmth of your words. I need to answer for myself - what was in us for a long time? What was a mystery and not solved?

Noize MC

The artist became a prominent character in the rap game in 2007 with the release of "Song for Radio". Vanya Noize is one of the first performers who combined reading with vocals, and rap beats with instruments and techniques from alternative rock. His lyrics are very diverse, the key motif of Noize MC's lyrics is social protest.

• In half a century, all Russians will achieve their cherished goal: every Siberian will in fact be registered in the capital, the Zamoskvoretskaya line will run into the Finnish border, and a new final Sokolnicheskaya line will be dug in Kamchatka.

Oxxxymiron

Miron Fedorov is known for the "revolution of the game" that happened immediately after the release of the album "Eternal Jew" in 2011. This means that Russian rap has reached a new level of text and flow quality thanks to the appearance of Oksimiron in it. The rapper stands out among all Russian performers with the most painstaking work with the word and the rhythm of the text.

• And it's a pity not to hold on for a moment the rest of the night before the final fall.

• Ahead is the world of gas chambers, Vlasov's armies, mass executions, but still pulls back, stop, shakes, we enter the nativeantispace.
• Can a creator live in an ivory tower? Enter the palace or vehemently against the nobles, or maintain your neutrality?

Scryptonite

Largely thanks to Adil Zhalelov, the boundaries between rap and other genres began to blur. Scryptonite does not hide the fact that the sound of the track is important for him, and the text is secondary. But the rapper also has memorable quotes.

• My world is going down, but I think I'm catching it with my arms outstretched.
• Live at least like the rest - that's what they want here.

• To minimize losses, I squeeze the maximum.
• You are all so-so. No worse, no better, just so-so.

Glory to the CPSU

After defeating the self-proclaimed godfather of battle rap Oksimiron, Slava (aka Purulent) is perceived by the public as Russia's best butler. His desire and ability to ridicule and humiliate anyone became part of the style. But creativity, in addition to battles, is not popular with the public, especially when the artist moves from the usualhis disses and beefs to dark intellectual tracks.

• Across the Arbat, like clockwork, we roll to Zemfira's concert.
• It only takes cricket to burn the hell out of East Mordor.

• Give us freedom, we are building a prison, and we will rot in it. The roof is leaking, we are whitewashing the ceiling.
• I'm not here to build - to destroy the empire from scratch!

Harry Hatchet

Harry is a representative of the so-called "evil rap". He uses aggressive reading and draws a lot of images from horror films, raises themes of violence and death, talks about social problems.

• He saw off the soldiers at the stations on their last journey, he knew who had crosses in the damp earth, who had crosses on his chest.

• Teaching is light, ignorance is darkness, and darkness is mother.

• I've seen too many cities. I will call the road home.
• And we met the fifth sun dawn on the malachite-sapphire shores.

Miyagi and Endgame

Eljey

The rapper balances on the edge of pop and hip-hopstyles. His work is clearly influenced by the trends of modern musical fashion. The texts are characterized by minimalism, the plots and characters in them are schematic. However, in this simplicity, bright and understandable images are often created.

Very "non-pop" member of the Dead Dynasty, to put it mildly, does not seek to be understandable to the listener. His albums are not only conceptual, but also intertwined, forming the most thoughtful universe in the space of Russian rap.

Galat

Vladimir Galat became known to the general public thanks to his appearance on Versus. Most of the artist's tracks are not at all similar to his battle work. In the texts, Galat reflects on the days of his youth, paying great attention to details, reflects on global philosophical issues - about the meaning of life, about vice and holiness, about faith in oneself and in God, about death.

Pharaoh, the founder of the "Dead Dynasty", in the texts often shares gloomy thoughts with the listener. Even his love lyrics usually have a depressing tone. Constant references to death are an integral part of the image of Gleb.

• Through the era you will not be remembered, just come to terms with this fact. I felt the same way, wandering around homeless, and I never wanted to believe in "tomorrow".
• I will dissolve into the fog, loneliness is wisdom.
• But if I made the choice, then who needs fate?

Face

Ivan Dremin was not taken seriously by anyone for a long time due to the large number of borrowings from Western performers - from image to beats. In addition, he gained wide popularity thanks to bangers - songs that are memorable thanks to one absurd line. As a result, the image of an idol of thirteen-year-old teenagers was fixed for the rapper. But unexpectedly, in 2018, Face released the album "Inscrutable Ways", which turned out to be a powerful political statement and contains a protest against the current state of affairs in the country.

• In the meantime, I'm free, doing what I want.
• I remember how once in my life I suddenly became smart for some reason.

Battle rap quotes

The emergence of the battle platform Versus contributed to a sharp jump in the popularity of rap in Russia. The organizers of verbal fights finally managed to convey to the mass audience that the battle is not a blind insult to the opponent, but a personal confrontation that requires erudition, command of the word and understanding of psychology from the participants.

• And we can evoke the anger of the crowd in any way: both for the fact that we are too similar to their idols, and forthat we are not like them. (PM)
