For me, it don’t get no better than bending my harmonica. I am constantly reminded that I didn’t pack mine with me on this endeavor.

First they came for the rappers, but I’m not a rap fan, so I said nothing. Then they came for the polka bands, but I don’t care much for polkas either. So I said nothing. (You know where this is going to end up, I’m sure.) RapPutin
Russia and China deeply believe in curtailing freedoms when they go against governmental policies.
🎙😗
Just like they did with pussyrrriot
Should we like Putin all be concerned about rap music?
Can't blame him. RAP MUSIC AND CULTURE IS BULLSHIT OF EPIC PROPORTIONS.
Putin playin’ to the Trump base. They love Russia- its white, religious, no immigrants, no liberals & has a big strong white man to take care of them. Oops-no guns. Never mind.
Rap Master Putin 😂😂
FreddieGibbs u gotta go to Russia man😂😭
Gross. Can't stand rap.
Evangelicals tried that with 'Christian rap'... didn't work, Vlad Putin
That means NO MORE RAP IN RUSSIA in Putin language
HOw do you control it? Water it down?
Don’t call it a comeback/ Putin’s been there for years! / Puttin’ dissidents in prison / putting their families in fear
I thought that Russian techno was going to destroy rap?
It's nothing China or any other communist country wouldn't do.
lol it’s laughable and an embarrassing thing to say.. wow another man trying to oppress people and his not even using religion as an excuse !!
Could we ban country music?
RA-RA-RAPUTIN...
Which is better than the Americans who say 'we'll let it teach our kids 'values' ' LOL. I think rap has a gutter mentality. And yes, I like it.
State Sponsored Rap? Isn’t that antitheitical to the form? Uncle_Zeno
Agreed , musicians like Feduk, DJblyatman ,uameeYT and life_of_boris should be the primary means of contemporary music.
maybe i should start listening to it.
In the words of public enemy...”fight the power”
girlgeek_rva LMAO 'Old Man Yells At Cloud'

Rap has a bad reputation because of acts these ppl do on streets , how many are caught in gang related matters , lyrics their so called songs contain , it is bad for youth of any country . Express myself , my ass !
Lol Russia is funny under Rap King Putin CrazyinRussia RussianEmbassy
Breathe in the socialism folks

I wish you could control rap here in the US... most has become watered down and terrible with few exceptions. What happened to rappers had something to say and didn't have to use the 'N' word as a punctuation mark?
Hey you hos, feminist and males suffering drom go over there and protest Putin, I dare you lol.
He'll I didn't think there were blacks in Russian. Is that really a thing?
Unless you’ve got a bad rap!
TuPutin Shakur aka DJ CultureVulture
EchoOfIndia Perhaps time for *Rapsputin*...a Boney M redux of 'Rasputin'?
I wonder if any other countries censorship their rab music Stop saying nonsense and twist words... Many countries do the same including united states....... He was talking about censorship on dangerous messages something very common around the world
Straight outta Kremlin!
Putin gonna write the lyrics?
He is signaling to Obama groupies like JayZee that he is down with Rap and there is money to be made in Russia. If the •celebrity couple” can get down for $$$$ in India for an wedding, then I don’t see them turning down Putin and the Russian market! Glory to the almighty $$$!
blackrepublican WORD SON!
blackrepublican Public enemy 1
OMG. I agree with Putin! OMG.
Thank you I live in country that believes in free speech and Russia can blow snot
Communism is alive and well!
I like Putin. He knows this chit will DESTROY his culture just like it has in America.
Lead and direct it? Putin went platinum before releasing an rap album
In Russia, RAP bans you.
alas klar dar kommissar?
Shut up!
'Putin noted that “rap is based on three pillars: sex, drugs and protest.” But he is particularly concerned with drug themes prevalent in rap, saying “this is a path to the degradation of the nation.”'
Why ?
Putin is just supporting employee 45. IF the rappers wont be nice to 45, their music wont be played in Russia...GTFOHWTBS
BaylessMarilyn Public Enemy No 1
The Notorious K.G.B.
RAPaganda now?
“Your album went platinum, ha, mine went polonium!”
No different than in the U.S.
No freedom of speech there
What rhymes with Salisbury? And poison?
Big Daddy Ukraine
So I can't blast my 2 15 inch woofers in Russia? Man...
How do you control Rap? Arrest anyone who has bad Rap? Sounds like Siberia is going to be busy.
Putin is reading from the Mormon Church's play book. Initiative on medical pot passing? Get out front 'supporting' a bill that does everything but kill it.
You seriously can’t make this shit up. We’re truly living in Bizarro World.
TrapitalMedia
In Putin’s Russia government raps you.
D-bag
🤣🤣
Goodold Pravda
Enjoy the freedom you have in the US unless you like being controlled? Vote dem for less freedom less$ to spend pretty much less of everything except rules and taxes
Smart man! He’s trying to save his country’s morals before it ends up like America did.
Now Putin is a music critic
Kinda like Tipper Gore only he’ll dose people with radiation
That’s not the point of rap Mr Putin. It is supposed to be of the times and irreverent.
We thought it was just a fad here in the US lol. Good luck.
Unlike in the Soviet Union period, when rock wasn't in favor with the State, now the music has fast forwarded to rap and President Putin doesn't think it can be controlled, but why would you want to.
Meanwhile in America...
Sorry, Vlad, but it's still Run's house.
I got a feeling these guys have something to say... NWA Rap Music
Putin should recruit KRS-1 to bring back old school hip hop and give him like a bajillion dollars
Damn straight. Hopefully the US can do the same.
We should send them Kanye West as a retaliation for election hacking. They would love each other, they probably take the same anti-depressants and everything!
Good luck with that, the pioneers tried the same approach 😂
Ah the scary scary rap must be reimagined to be less scary
“1, 2, 3 and to the 4 “Pute” Doggy Dogg And I’m surveillin’ hotel whores”
Imagine the domestic response if a western leader said that, and ponder what that means about Russian politics and its society
Putin needs to be controlled
He ask Tipper Gore how that went down...
Straight outta the goulag?
At least rap is alive somewhere..... In America it's been lame for over a decade..............
Oh yeah, that strategy won’t backfire...
I agree
That’s pretty much his philosophy on everything, isn’t it
and weoponize it linking it to money and guns, then amplify it thru the NRA in A MIR EE KA in order to erode...... wait, we are already doing this......
Worst crap of all time
Putin must have been watching CB4 and thought it was a real documentary
Putin should be worried about these guys taking over russia.
1st application for the new position of Russian Minister of Rap and American Propaganda submitted by Kanye Kompromat West. West vows to revolutionize rap music to energize the military forces during exterminations and genocides. The artist has a long history of inspiring hate.
Dean Reed lives! (obscure reference)
The mole can't control rap because what he has done to relations with the USA with traitors advice is a wrap.
Polonium 210
There are 3 things the Russian government needs to do in order to accomplish this. That's 1.) Stop 2.) Collaborate. And 3.) Listen.
I'm Vlad P and I get respect / Your cash and your jewelry is what I expect
Maybe it will be like Lawrence Welk covering 'One toke over the line.'
mnitg
Rap is not music. It's jingle to sell drugs.
Russian president is an aggressor and criminal
Putin? You bloodthirsty bastage! How the hell’s it hanging?
I’m sure Mr. Trump thinks this is a fine idea.
Gangsta, he's got down cold; freestyle, not so much
Rap has been a popular genre of music for like 30 years brotha... is it 1988 in Russia ?
I don’t like rap...but fuck Putin.
I feel some memes coming on.
Why do we care He is loser.
If I had the choice between him focusing on rap or not...I’d say let’s just let him focus on rap.
you can't control the homey, yo ah hell nah
Just introduce mumble rap.
In Putin’s Russia, you don’t listen to the radio. The radio listens to you.
Ha.
Good approach
It should at least be held to the standards of decency. Never mind the BS of they are expressing their culture. Rude crude nasty and offensive is not a cultural norm.
It shouldn't be controlled neither
Cc: RacismDog
DJ V-Putie?
“Good luck with that!” -Tipper Gore
obligatory
If you haven't heard Russian rap, you're lucky.
Rap, like punk, can’t be controlled. The more those in power try to clamp down on it the stronger it will become.
I want to hear Russian state controlled mixtapes
Is this real?
Of course if some rapper does the song, “F the Police” in Russia they’ll be killed, so pretty much it’s been “controlled” all along...
Guess the genius is out of the bottle?TMZ chancetherapper HiRezTheRapper CupcakKe_rapper iammoshow Rouge_Rapper Celloboy26 RappersIKnow HotRappersDaily RappersRActors rappersaid
'the growing popularity of rap among russian youth?' what is this 1987? rap has been around and popular a looooong time. Is he that behind the times?
Lol...he wants to stop the 1 genre of music in the whole world...good luck with that
Democrats would love this. But they can move to Russia and be part of the revolution with Putin.
Can’t let the people have music or soon they will ask for power
Take Kanye. Please.
Baby it's cold outside in Russia
He's so cool, I'm sure it will be great 😄
WTF
Hip hop is world wide and contagious.
Straight Outta Communism
Now ya done it, Ruskie!
Fearless Putin , Wrestles Bears with no shirt but is scared of Rap music . LOL .
Another Putin Dictator move! Trump will follow his “ bromance “ lead!!!😳😬👎🏻
MC Hammer & Sickle.
Can you imagine a GRU rap unit? I can't.
Well this oughtta be ear-piercing.
Rap video. Where's the liberal outrage? Hypocrisy
“Don’t wanna Mess with me, I’m Ex KGB, I’ve been Putin haters in the dirt since the early 90’s”
So we can look forward to more of this crap?
Putin is more of a goth guy in his free time.
Like the old days 'back in the USSR.'
That was the day, the muuuuuuusic died...
Some rap songs are very bad and crap. But some are awesome. I love some rap singers and songs.
Rap is attractive to people that crave attention.
He wouldnt Like Public Enemy
VladimirPutin Croons 'Blueberry Hill'
Too bad it's not RIP Master Putin!!! The world would be a better place!
'Run! KGB!' Becomes RUN-KGB.
trying to be “down” with rap, will be his downfall.
Yikes! Imagine if Trump appointed a Rap Czar. Who would it be? (No obvious individual pls)
No worse than Cossacks. KremlinRussia_E
Yeah rap is pretty cancerous
Rap isn't music, it's trash
Shut it down! Drake btfo
Rap has done nothing to improve culture in the US and in fact has caused social decline. But, it is Putin so we must mock.
Next Russians will be asked to allow the state to control your bowel movement's.
Oh PUTIN “let the music play”
Figure he would like rap since rappers promote violence & homophobic slurs in their songs.
Then....it....wouldn’t....be....rap....
We just rolled straight into 1988.
The next the you know tRump will want to put a ban on rap music.
Well then Putin should try to show his own rap. PHD
Talk about a control freak. I knew he was bad but....
Russia always copying us.
White boy said what now?
Ooooo send Kanye over there. It'll give him something to focus on
1st off Fжck Putin Бладьвлад as a Intel operative, leader and as a MF'in crew... And if you want to be down with Putin then fжck you too... HITT'EM UP!
My mind reels with the mental images conjured up by this headline.
kanye approves
We should have done that. Most Rap is the moronic ramblings of ding bats.
cRAP
The personal experience that forms the basis of true Rap music cannot be controlled. You can gaslight it, but you can't control it.
Why do I get the feeling Flavor-Flav and Brigitte Nielsen are going to Russia soon?
The pharma industry seems to control the American rap industry. I can only imagine what the KGBattle Raps will sound like. I’m sure there is already an underground broadcasting that on YouTube somewhere.
Dictator much
Rap's growing popularity? That sounds like a statement someone would make in 1992. Grandpa Putin wants you kids to turn down that damn hippity hop
my name is vlad and i'm here to say... if you sanction me there'll be heck to pay... beatboxing
I mean...
NO SLEEP TIL MOSCOW!
You seen this VanLathan ?
Good. Rap sucks anyways...
Ol' Dirty Russkie 🤣
This is why the gop loves this guy. They literally would rather live in a country like Russia than 2018 United States.
wtf
The USA did the same damn thing. It’s how super powers work. Control
putin will burn in hell for his actions........
I'm looking forward to Putin's state sponsored 'rappers.'
Stick with controlling racist knuckleheads in Europe and the US.
He’s just like my Dad from the 90s, “Rap is just a fad, it’s not music” lol
Just get Suge Knight after him...
It's a wrap.
I believe in absolute freedom of expression. Everyone has a right to offend and be offended.
Is this an article from 27 years ago?
I still wouldn’t expect to see Putin assassinated in a Snoop Dogg video. Narrative and all.
This is a man who is an intellectual. He doesnt quit the game, he adapts and wins
Propaganda 101
he will do his best to steer it in wise directions
He sounds like an American leftist
I'm sure kanyewest will be right over!
This is gonna work about as well as HW railing against the Simpsons
White People are fascinating
Look no further for the perfect holiday gift.
