??!! / Politics Russia's Hiphop Prime Minister
Posted by Charles Mudede on Mon, Nov 16, 2009 at 2:40 PM
Who's in the house? Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin is in the house:
Appearing on Muz-TV, an MTV-style channel, Putin told an audience of young graffiti artists, rappers, MCs and other exponents of hip-hop culture that although rap is "kind of rough, it has a social message dealing with the problems of the young". He congratulated the teenagers there for refining hip-hop with "Russian charm". He also described graffiti as real art, "fine and elegant".
Jokes aside, the Russian hiphop sounds pretty together.
