Scandals and showdowns have long been one of the essential components of Russian rap culture. Well-known domestic rappers make a name for this. For example, LSP and Oksimiron. The conflict between them arose in 2015. As often happens with rap artists, witnesses of the showdown between the musicians were their fans, since the details of these frictions were described in songs, videos and video messages.
Rapper Oksimiron
To begin with, let's take a closer look at who the LSP and Oksimiron are, the conflict between which has become so famous and popular.
The real name of Oksimiron is Miron Yanovich Fedorov. He was born in Leningrad in 1985. He is currently a popular rap artist and executive director of Booking Machine booking agency.
At 9, he emigrated with his parents to Germany. The family settled in Essen, where Miron studied at the Maria Wechtler gymnasium. The tensions that he and his classmates developed later found reflection in his work. For example, in the song "Last Call".
At 13, he made his first attempts to rap. Acts under the pseudonym Myth, which was obtained by reducing the name and surname (Miron Fedorov).
At the age of 15, he moved with his parents to the town of Slough in the UK, where he began to work hard. In 2004 he entered the University of Oxford at the Department of English Language and Literature.
In 2006, he was temporarily expelled from the university after doctors diagnosed him with manic-depressive psychosis. But he managed to recover at the university and in 2008 became the owner of a diploma in "Medieval English literature".
After graduating from university, he settled in east London. But I could not find a job according to my qualifications. For some time he worked as a translator, loader, cashier, tutor, entertainer, guide. Among his acquaintances, many Russian-speaking migrants appeared, which prompted him to return to the practice of hip-hop. He took the pseudonym Oxxxymiron, which appeared after the merger of his name with the literary term "oxymoron". Triple “x” means a large number of profanity in the texts.
Creativity Oksimiron
He received his first popularity in 2008 after the release of the track "London Against All". In 2009, he reached the semifinals in the XIV independent battle Hip-Hop.ru. And according to the results of the year, he became the winner in the nomination "Best Battle of MS". It was recognized as the discovery of the year.
In 2010, he goes on a concert tour of the CIS countries, and by the fall of next year with several colleagues he creates a label under which he releases his album "Eternal Jew".
In 2012-2013, the famous confrontation of Oksimiron with another rapper named Creep-A-Creep, which ended in the victory of one of the heroes of our article, took place. After that, he won a number of victories in popular battles.
In 2015, Miron released a studio album, "Gorgorod," which he uploaded to the Web for free download.
The booking machine Booking Machine, with whom he collaborated since 2012, the rapper headed in 2017.
Rapper LSP
The real name of the rapper LSP is Oleg Vadimovich Savchenko. He was born in Vitebsk in 1989. His parents were journalists. He began to study music since childhood, in his school years he wrote the first poems.
Interest in hip-hop culture appears after he sees Timati performing at Star Factory 4. Prior to that, Andrei Gubin was a favorite LSP performer. In the same period, Oleg is very interested in Russian rock.
In the end, he comes to the conclusion that sound is no less important than meaning. To such thoughts he leads the understanding of American hip-hop. Like Oksimiron, received a philological education. He has a diploma of a linguist-teacher at the Minsk State Linguistic University.
Creativity LSP
The singer begins her solo career in 2007. Since then he has released four studio albums. He worked closely with the producer from Mogilev, Roman Sascheko, better known as Roma the Englishman. Together they created the LSP duet.
In 2011, they released their debut album, entitled "See Color Dreams." We have been cooperating with the Oksimiron booking agency for a year - since August 2014. It was from this that the conflict between Oxymiron and LSP began. Numerous fans watched him with interest.
Reasons for the conflict
Some publications have compared the relationship between LSP and Oxymiron with the clash of two heroes of a generation. The conflict began after the termination of cooperation of Belarusians with the booking agency. They explained their departure by the fact that after the signing of the cooperation agreement, the number of concerts, which were few before, almost completely disappeared. They expected a different effect - the growth of their popularity and income.
The relationship between LSP and Oxymoron has escalated. The conflict did not immediately enter the active stage, but only after the release of the song "Imperial", which was immediately planned to be included in the tracklist of LSP performances. In it, Oleg Savchenko talks in detail about what happened, and also does not hesitate in expressions about the booking agency.
It is noteworthy that the song itself suddenly breaks off at the chorus, which is performed by Savchenko, and after him the added guest abruptly enters. He becomes the second hero of our article. He gives his version of why the conflict arose. Oxymiron and LSP did not reach an agreement then.
Many journalists then called the incident a real drama, which takes place right before our eyes.
Responsiveness
The conflict between Oxymiron and LSP, the causes of which we have already studied, continued. Soon, Miron himself wrote down an appeal in which he talked about how he assisted the LSP duo, persuaded the employees of the concert agency to sign an agreement with them, and tolerated their antics.
After the break of the LSP with the agency, Miron asked them not to advertise this fact, but soon Roma the Englishman and Savchenko touched on this topic, talking to the media. At the same time, they spoke extremely negatively about their former agency.
After this story, Oxymiron and LSP, the causes of the conflict of which are now obvious, came to the center of public attention. The picking by video messages continued. Miron, in order to teach the offenders a lesson, even recorded the third verse of the song, in which he accused them of throwing words to the wind. No one knows the outcome of this story. What will happen next - we will hear or see.
