“War and Peace.” “Crime and Punishment.” Oxxxymiron vs. Slava KPSS.
All triumphs of Russian penmanship.
While even America’s most popular rap battlers generally max out at a few million YouTube views (a milestone that can sometimes take years to reach), Russian league Versus is sprinting past its competition — already racking up almost 15 million views on an hour-long video that came out on August 13.
The battle, which went down in St. Petersburg earlier in August, went crazy-viral in Russia, a country famous for its prowess with the written word.
We can’t understand any of it, of course, but if you’re confident in your Russian-speaking abilities then check out the battle below.

One of the competitors, Oxxxymiron, had been undefeated until he came up against his opponent, who took the W after a unanimous decision from the five judges.
As one of Russia’s biggest Hip Hop figures, Oxxxymiron’s battle rap showings have always generated huge interest, but nothing on this scale before.
According to a detailed piece by The Calvert Journal, “Even RIA Novosti, one of the biggest Russian news agencies, has published four news stories and a large feature on the battle in the last two days.”
After his defeat, Oxxxymiron shared an in-depth Instagram post following the battle.
Google Chrome’s translation of Oxxxymiron’s Instagram post goes on to explain why he felt he lost the clash, and why there are no hard feelings.
“Why did I lose? Because, like on the previous battles, I went into lyrical digressions, which I really enjoy writing, unlike the endless “setup-punch, setup-punch.” Maybe I’m too focused on life, That at one time influenced the Battleplay – and instead I myself should learn from the Battlists, whose world has since grown into something different and independent. Although the race for the amount of panche still seems to me a rather dull approach to the battles. But my approach “preacher a la Loaded Lux” clearly requires adjustments for the future. Without losing – I probably would not have realized that I needed an upgrade. Upgrade will be, Narnia will wait.”
“Make Battle Rap Great Again: said – done, it was a historical battle. Opponent well done. Maybe now someone will understand that I’m not a moribund statue, I do not always calculate everything, and I’m ready to risk everything purely for fans, out of sports interest. And I’ll do it again soon).”
Man y’all really reaching for any type of click at this point. Wtf do we care about this? It’s about URL OR KOTD. We can’t understand this shit. Who is the manager here. Why does he let shit pass through like this. I’m tired of these bullshit ass stories! It’s Russia! It’s either negativity or some off the wall ass story with y’all. 2dopeboyz.com everybody. 2dopeboyz.com!
If you don’t see the significance of hip hop culture reaching Russia and making massive waves then you need to wake up. the man even pointed out his influence in loaded lux
US readers, I’m from Russia and I can explain you why this Battle is a bomb – it is a battle between two different schools of battle rap, between two different characters, who are very great MCs. If anytime you watch it in English you will understand that this punchlines and even jokes are brilliant
“a bomb”……dumbass. We dont give a shit about yalls corny ass battles or this shit is gaf af.
*gay*
You’re a fuck boy
This guy Oxxxymiron is gonna have a battle with Dizaster soon though, so I think it would be good for you to prepare kinda background summary for english-speaking community which I can help with.
Clearly, Putin is trying to subvert hip hop culture.
Clearly, you’re a stupid pendos)

Чисто по фану means ‘just for fun’, not ‘purely for fans’.
Это сленг Английский такой
Sorry for my english, but Oxxy will f*ck Dizaster)
eeee boy
I understand that Google has translated the text like this but is there such a word as “panche”? Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? I reckon there should be “punchlines” in lieu of this type of word.
But it’s normal for Russian lenguage, we reduce words often a little
Well, I’m talking about English, not Russian.
Dizzaster is CAPUT!!
Живели браће Руси. Драго ми је да правите и ви добар Хип-Хоп. Да се коначно и ми Словенци етаблирамо у том свету, а кроз Battle Rap се најбоље добија респект. Само напред браћо.
A little amateur adjustment for the translation

Sorry, that must be “sporting interest” in penult sentence.
YEEE BOY!

As a russian I need to correct this part: “risk everything just for fun” instead of “risk everything purely for fans”
