Surely in conversations between the young at least once,but it sounded "We'll make a noise!". Some can hardly understand where the phrase comes from and what it is all about. "Versus" begins precisely with this word. I must say that this web series has recently become a topic of discussion. An age qualification is also established: 18+. The author and presenter is Sasha Timartsev, better known as the Restaurateur.
Filming takes place in the cultural capital of Russia -St. Petersburg. Cuts and Scratches are directly involved in the shooting. As of August 6, 2015, 66 issues (3 seasons) were issued. The duration of each episode is from 15 to 40 minutes. Broadcasting takes place on a major YouTube video sharing. The video is loaded with high quality (Full HD), the sound is stereo.
If we talk about the origin of the name, then "Versus" - against, and "Battle" - battle, or battle.
Releases are removed either in the form of openevents (on the street or in the concert hall with the audience), or - closed. Often, the shooting takes place in the St. Petersburg club "1703", where only the friends of the stars are invited as fans.
The main character of "Versus", or rather one ofFor several years Oxxxymiron (Oxymiron) has been confidently holding it. Vanya Yevstigneyev, who also produces material, is also producing the show. Interestingly, he is also Johnny Rudboy, or Ohr - one of the backing vocalists of the famous rapper.
And now we need to understand in more detail that this is "Versus".
Versus Battle is a popular show.If we talk about belonging to the genre, then it refers to rap-battles. New episodes always go out on Sundays. The first was flooded on YouTube on August 25, 2013. The second season began on March 1, 2014. The key to the success of the show can be called the number of subscribers on video hosting - almost 2 million people. After the launch, it received the "Event of the Year" award.
Recently, a spin-off was launched under the title "Fresh Blood". What is it? "Versus" gives an opportunity to declare themselves to beginners and little-known rappers who are invited to participate.
In the world there are records associated with rap battles.In April 2015, one already installed, was beaten. In this case, it is a battle between Oksimiron and Joniboy. Battle entered the world of hip-hop as the most viewed in the first day (1 million people). Now the episode has more than 26 million views.
Almost a year later this record was beatenother participants - Larin and Khovansky (24 hours - 3 million views). But a month later, after the release of another battle, this time between Oksimironom and ST, the scale figure was beaten. Over a day, gained 4 million. Moreover, the episode of "Versus" overtook the most famous competition of two rappers in the US in an English-language show of the same format.
Battles do not use microphones (only inin exceptional cases), the bit is also missing. Before capturing the contest itself, each participant talks about himself, with whom he competes and his attitude to the opponent. Rappers prepare the text in advance, and then in turn, three rounds read it. The winners are chosen by the judges. As a rule, there are three people, sometimes five.
It should be noted that repeatedly after the announcementresults fights occur. Someone realizes that "Versus Battle" is just a game, an ordinary competition, and someone can not wait to avenge all the punches and humiliations heard in his address.
The age requirement in 18+ is explained by the presence of profanity. Moreover, its use is not prohibited or limited.
The beginning of the battle, which was opened by Oksimiron, was remembered by everyone with an epic set of swear words. They will long remain in the memory of fans of this kind of rap.
The winner, obviously, was Miron Yanovich.He did not succumb to emotions, provocations, but simply read out his text flawlessly. Judges and critics also appreciated the fact that Fedorov responded to some of his opponent's punches, inventing rhymes on the go. But Dzhoniboy improvisation is not engaged.
Talk about the records that broke this episode, no longer necessary, because everything is described above. I must say that this battle waited long enough. It was worth it.
ST will clearly be stronger than the opponent, than Johniba. Of course, Duni and Krip-a-Krip, with whom Miron had fought before, are far from him, but he showed his level, and this won him confidence.
The winner was Fedorov.This is his last battle at the moment. It is necessary to clarify that he won on all his battles, of which there were four. No wonder this person "shot down the regime" of Russian rap and showed that even in such a country there are really standing hip-hopers.
In 2017, it is planned to launch at least large-scale battles at Versus. Oksimiron is likely to be the center of attention.
Unfortunately, to say so far, which of the statedFights really take place, definitely not, but you can talk about them. In the spring of 2016, Miron was summoned by activist Enteo on the battle. The artist did not comment on this without refusing or accepting the challenge.
Scroogee has also been spotted on.to Oxy. According to him, a fake Twitter account called Miron on a battle. No one knows if it’s true that the page is unofficial or not, but such events just don’t happen.
And now you need to say that will raise the ratings of the showVersus Battle. Oksimiron accepted the challenge from the best English-speaking rapper, who became famous for this kind of competition - Dizaster. It’s too early to say exactly when the battle will take place, but everyone already knows that it will beat many hip-hop records.
Miron due to constant attacks from the notorious Purulent caused him to battle. Opponent agreed.
So, now it’s unlikely that someone will have the question “What is this - Versus?”, And who is one of its most memorable participants.
