In a rather sad story, which is going on around the tour rapper Husky, too much irony. Russian, senseless and merciless irony.
The police disrupt the tour of one of the most popular Russian hip-hop performers, but if, say, in Rostov-on-Don, law enforcement officers broke into the club and stopped the concert, then in Krasnodar the rapper was not allowed to even begin his performance. Husky did not stop, and he, rising to the roof of one of the cars, in front of the crowd who came to the concert began to read his track "Ay":
(Ay) Stop the party,
(Ai) I will sing my music -
(Ay) the most honest music
(Ay) The music of broken eyes.
(Ai) The music of yellow snow,
(Ai) Black Drinking Music
(Ai) The music of our childhood -
(I) Music about us.
The fans sang along - no one wanted to stop this very party, but the police dragged Huskies from the car and took them to the police station in the Central District of Krasnodar, where they drew up reports on three administrative articles, in particular accusing the rapper of petty hooliganism.
In many cities of the big Husky tour there were problems. Here is what he himself wrote in his official public about this: “The scheme is this. Musketeers come to the Zvezda club in Samara and say: "If you contribute to the Husky concert, we will cut off the electricity for you." A similar story in other cities - in some places even threaten to close. Togliatti club surrendered.
The main reason lies in the song "Poem about the Motherland" (I already wrote about irony?), Where they found calls for cannibalism.
I can imagine how this situation would have ridiculed another “cannibal” musician, Egor Letov (“And my wife fed the crowd, trampled her chest with a world fist”). Otherwise, as nonsense it can not be called.
The prosecutor's office finds in the Husky songs an insult to the feelings of believers, Nazi propaganda, debauchery and God knows what else. We got to the video. The clip "Judas" is no longer available for viewing on YouTube from Russia. When you try to access the clip page, a black background appears and the inscription: “This content is blocked on YouTube at the request of government agencies”
Nobody really wants to understand the work of the rapper. And it would be worth it. Because if a little insight into the texts, the position and promise of the rapper, then in an amicable way, he should be given support so that in no city in Russia there are problems with his performances.
Huskies are the rare type of musician who, despite being widely known among young people, is really worried about the country in which he lives. If someone doesn’t know, I’ll explain that it’s fashionable to dislike Russia among young people, to treat state institutions with contempt, and to use the word “homeland” exclusively in a humorous context.
Huskies do not stand on the barricades with or without, setting up their fans against the "bloody regime", does not move from one camp to another, but at the same time can afford to be friends and work with people of polar views - from Kirill Serebrennikov to Zakhar Prilepin.
Husky is one of those who did not ignore the residents and militias of Donbass, periodically visiting them with concerts. Huskies can afford to perform both at the “Poster Picnic” and before the fighters three hundred meters from the front line. That's because Husky associates himself with the whole country, that he is a real and fearless Russian rapper, and not a trendy ditty for hipsters.
People like him need to be cherished and cherished, because, apart from him, no one of the popular rap-rock-pop artists will sing:
My homeland is my love, the view from the window:
Monotown in a gray cloth dress,
My homeland is my love and in every window
Slum soldiers smile at me.
For several decades, we were fed from every crevice with songs that “humiliate the human mind”, tons of vulgar humor were dumped on us, everything was done to stop taste buds from working forever, and the word “motherland” turned into the most zashkvarny zashkvvar. That's who should have canceled all the concerts, and put the songs in all existing black lists.
Either those in power will begin to delve into the essence of the issue, learn to read and hear, or lose the young generation forever.
Do not stop the party, let him sing his music.
