At the time of visiting Russian rap critics attributed it to the subculture.For a long time he remained unrecognized by experts.That is, Russian rap was abroad this art.Today, however, almost all agreed that it is a separate direction in art, which firmly took its place.And, as in other areas of culture, among rappers often hold competitions.The event of this kind is called "Battle" is a kind of competition for the best.
story of the Battle reperskih
Naturally, like rap and battles in this art form have their roots among the African-American population.Initially, there appeared a verbal game called dozens.Rules it was queued speech and ridiculing opponents.
However, at the initial stage dozens more little resemblance to the modern Battle.It acts more like a squabble in which the rule of rhythmic pattern, and some use of rhymes.Participants did not limit itself in a choice of "jokes".Especially honored were attacks on the part of parents, girlfriend, sexual orientation opponent.All these "jokes" have not had any for a foundation were pure fiction and slanders.
Modern Battle
This competition rappers, in theory, should be radically different from the ancient game of dozens.However, some fans of this art finds its main advantage the possibility of use in the tracks of the mat, coarse and abusive words, glorification of anti-social behavior.So often, and Battle - is an exercise in the use and composition of jokes "below the belt".On the "hurray" perceived verbal competitions such as "whose sexual organ longer and capable?" And in a verbal battle used the grotesque: with yourself - superpreuvelichenie "positive" signs, and the opponent rushing understatement and contemptuously disparaging comparisons.
However, many participants did not adopt a rule for attacks on sexual orientation, insults loved ones.They believe that rap Battle should be based only on the work of rivals, their personal qualities, which are known to all.
Therefore, there are cases when the offended parties to meet the rough walls of the opponent's club with rap Battle, and arrange it, "debriefing".Often here for whistleblowers fists to defend his honor and dignity humiliated verbally loved ones and relatives.
new trend in contemporary Russian rap Battle
But still we have to admit that the Russian rap to become a different way than paved for himself African-American "ancestor."Before some contests once negotiated bans:
- use foul language;
- disclosure of the facts, contrary to reality;
- mockery appearance, health and national identity of participants.
Therefore, saying that the Battle is in Russia should clarify: it is ideally ridicule creative shortcomings enemy, mimicking the manner of execution and his rival tracks.Allowed transitions to the personal qualities of a competitor, such as intelligence, personality, talent and performance.
Battle freestyle rappers
In such competitions is going to a lot of spectators and fans.After all, if prepared in advance Battle rap attracts many, what can we say about the competition "online" when both players stand facing each other and are forced to write their poems on the go.The ability to not only express their thoughts coherently, but also a sophisticated use verses sharp humor bordering on sarcasm - that's what the Battle freestyle.
Reasonable people understand already that the ban rap battles including the only means to get young, adoring new art, go "underground" and to continue its development there.So do not be better to find a compromise?It's still young oeuvre.To help novice rappers create your own art, different from the African-American - is the main task at the present stage.
