Ivan Urgant and Sergei Shrurov battle. Ivan Urgant and Sergey Shnurov staged a rap battle on Versus

A video has appeared online where Sergei Shnurov and Ivan Urgant compete in a rap battle on Versus. The corresponding video was published in social network"VKontakte".

The duration of the video is 3:16, during which time Urgant and Shnur, in the company of the Restaurateur and the public of Bar 1703, manage to read out one round each. It's worth noting that this is not a real battle. According to the site, this video will be used in the upcoming release of the program “ Evening Urgant"on Channel One - as evidenced by the logo in the lower right corner. The video appeared online ahead of time; it was recorded by residents from the Far East.

Information that Sergei Shnurov took part in the Versus rap battle appeared on June 21 - when a photo together Shnur and Alexander Timartsev, better known as the Restaurateur. The news shocked fans of the work of the leader of the Leningrad group, because several years ago he spoke in a very negative way about Russian rap.

According to the website, Battle Versus is a very popular platform that was formed in 2013. Since then, the YouTube channel has attracted more than 3 million subscribers, and the videos have received a total of more than 370 million views. Performers such as Oxxxymiron, Noize MC and ATL battled on this site. Since 2016, the platform has attracted the attention of video bloggers - this is how Khovansky, Larin and Dzharakhov performed on the show.

Yesterday the network exploded with discussions of the version between Ivan Urgant and Sergei Shnurov. Of course, this action should not be taken seriously.
Ivan, as a completely successful showman, plays on trends, parodies them and does the right thing.
IN lately The main topics for parodies were high-profile YouTube topics. If you don’t know, then watch the 24-hour challenge with Philip Kirkorov.

It came to the Versus battle. All conflicts in the Internet space are now resolved there. Imagine how happy Pushkin would have been if such a trend had existed during the time of his disagreements with Dantes!
Although, there are no disagreements between Urgant and Shnurov. We just gathered, read, laughed. It turned out to be a lot of fun.
What is trolling, you ask?
I think it's very thin. And the thing is that all the “inhabitants” of YouTub talk about the imminent death of television, but as soon as they are called “on TV”, they are right there. So the restaurateur lit up.

Ivan Urgant in his original program always tries to surprise the viewer not only with sparkling jokes, but also unusual ideas. This time, the leader of the Leningrad group, Sergei Shnurov, appeared as a guest star. Celebrities staged a parody of the popular competition of rap performers Versus battle, the task of which is to point out the opponent’s shortcomings during the recitative process.

“Singer, actor, poet, painter, composer, showman, TV presenter - smoking, drinking, like a flock of pigeons, giving in to everything. An insta star in her posts scribbling: “Swearing is not a crime,” like Lesha Panin. You are bored, my friend, by my maxims! You will not continue to stand even after taking your potency pills! I hope there is no need to explain the hint to anyone? Today we’re in battle, guys, I have a sluggish terminator with me.”

The audience was delighted with Urgant's ironic and unexpectedly sharp performance. The man played so believably that some even believed for a moment that what was happening was serious. Despite the fact that the audience perfectly understands the strangeness of the situation, thanks to the actors’ acting skills, their conflict looked truly serious.

After the round, the men, as expected, warmed up a little and drank some water, thereby heating up the situation even more. But, as you know, Shnurov won’t put his money where his mouth is. The singer managed to respond adequately to his colleague.

"I'm sorry. What, the music didn't work out? Didn't Urgant Grisha work out? I’m sorry, but not really, that you also didn’t succeed in adding two lines, friend. No - it would be better if you sang! I will tell you, not without flattery: without jokes, I wait for your songs, which are full of wisdom and caress the ear, like breaking waves. But there are none. The holy place is empty. And what would art be like without you?” - Sergei retorted.

But if the humiliation here was comic, then not so long ago Shnurov really entered into a conflict. The musician spoke on the topic of the new video of the ex-soloist of the Leningrad group Alisa Vox. The outrageous singer posted a video on the Internet for the song “Baby”, which short time received more than a million views. Apparently, the girl’s work was not to the celebrity’s taste, and he publicly criticized the artist on the microblog.

“It’s like a dirty orderly giving a lecture on hygiene. Any statement, especially in the imperative mood, that claims to have a directing role, no matter what its content, should at least not conflict with the form. If you shoot a video of lower quality than that of a novice video blogger, where everything is shoddy - makeup, lighting, camera angles, editing; If you write a text that even the most worthless site will not accept, because of completely preschool and uninteresting rhymes, then teaching looks simply inappropriate. Yes, yes. Exactly. “Start with yourself,” wrote Sergei.

The big Friday episode of “Evening Urgant” was the last in the traditional St. Petersburg cycle, and this season: the project team goes on vacation until September.

In the introduction to the program, Ivan Urgant clashed in a rap battle with Sergei Shnurov. Filming took place on the site of the iconic Russian rap St. Petersburg internet show Versus Battle. The fight between Ivan and Sergei was led by Alexander “Restaurateur” Timartsev, who works on real battles. The main feature of the “versus” is complete uncensorship, allowing swearing and mutual insults, which the heroes immediately took advantage of. IN homemade“Ivan aka Joaquin” recalled Shnurov’s alcoholism, advertising of drugs to increase potency and called him a “sluggish terminator.” In the final, Ivan tore off the patch from his neck, revealing a tattoo in the form of the main Russian word addressed to his opponent.

Versus on "Evening Urgant".

In response, Sergei presented such arguments for humiliating the enemy as the not very noticeable successes of the Grisha Urgant project and the closure of the ProjectorParisHilton show.

Alas, unlike the Internet, I had to beep the swear words on TV. In a genuine Versus there are three rounds, including improvisations, but in this case the participants in the fight limited themselves to one. The authors of the texts (probably the regular screenwriters of “Evening Urgant”) perfectly imitated key features“versus”, lovingly exaggerating their naivety disguised by brutality and craving for poetic cliches, which caused delight in the rap community. In less than two days, the video was viewed more than 3 million times on YouTube. For comparison: an interview with Shnurov and his wife Matilda from the same program on YouTube was watched less than 300 thousand times.

This is not the first “entry” of “Evening Urgant” into the territory of current youth subcultures. Let us remember that in the spring Ivan, together with Philip Kirkorov, filmed a parody of Internet bloggers, which received more than 4 million views.

READING WITH IVAN...

Singer. Actor. Poet. Artist.

Composer. Showman. TV presenter.

Smoking. Drinker. Like a flock of doves, laying down everything.

An Insta star who writes in her posts: “swearing is not a crime.”

[nrzb] downslate like Lesha Panin.

You are bored, my friend, by my maxims.

You won't continue to stand

Even after taking my potency pills.

I hope there is no need to explain to anyone, guys -

Today a sluggish terminator is battling with me.

And someone whispers nearby: “he opened a restaurant.”

But he is not a real restaurateur*.

I don't pack punches for the sake of lois and hype**

So that you pay in full with your scum.

You know what, son, go pack your things,

You are not Seryozha Shnur, you are Seryozha [obscene language].

* that is, not real (true), not the host of Versus Battle, whose nickname is Restaurateur.

**in Russian it would sound like “I am not ridiculing you with my satire for the sake of the crowd’s approval.”

...AND WITH SERGEY

I'm sorry. What, the music didn't work out?

Didn't Urgant Grisha work out?

I'm sorry, but in addition, [obscene vocabulary], lines

You also, my friend, did not succeed.

No, it would be better if you sang!

I will tell you, not without flattery:

Without jokes, I'm waiting for your songs,

Which are full of wisdom and caress the ear like breaking waves.

But there are none! The holy place is empty. Well, what would art be without you?

You're like a goddess, Van. But I'm not Herostratus,

What destroys the temple through swearing.

I sing for different social strata

From every iron, probably.

There’s no need to blame the mirror, Van,

And look for the reason in the reflection.

That's what the Cord is for, to connect everyone,

You [obscene language], Ivan, are out of rank.

The “spotlight” went out. When the time comes, take a look.

I'm knocking you down. Round, Van.

AND AT THIS TIME

The main guest of the season's final episode of "Evening Urgant" was Stephen Colbert, the famous American comedian and satirist, host of " Evening show with Stephen Colbert" on the American channel CBS.

Russian Russian roulette. Evening Urgant. Fragment of the release dated June 23, 2017.

Ivan’s overseas colleague was in Russia for the first time (it is known that he is making a film about our country). Colbert is known for his regular attacks on Russian authorities and it was very curious how the meeting would end. However, things did not come to the point of another cooling of Russian-American relations. Ivan tried to make a couple of barbs, but Stephen disarmed him, saying in perfect Russian: “My brother!”

Taking a sip of vodka instead of tea, the presenters first quarreled - ceremoniously: Colbert slapped Ivan in the face, and he broke his glasses - and then immediately made up. And they started playing a special “Russian roulette”: without a pistol, but with vodka. “For the wonderful Russian people,” said Colbert with a glass in his hands. “I don’t understand why no one in the Trump administration remembers how to meet with Russians.”

In a response toast, Ivan offered to drink “to the wonderful America, which invented the Internet, thanks to which we can influence the outcome of the presidential elections in the United States.” Reminiscent, of course, of Russian hackers, in whose existence Donald Trump’s opponents believe.

“I am here in Russia to announce: I am going to run for president in 2020. And I thought: it’s better to announce it myself without intermediaries. If anyone wants to work for my company, just let me know,” Colbert announced.

Urgant assured his colleague that “we in Russia will do everything possible for you to become president.”

“For a strong America and a strong Russia!” - Colbert summed up. And he drank immediately.
