Determining who is the fastest rapper in the world today is not as simple as it might seem. Firstly, the records are constantly breaking, and the lists of the best are updated. Secondly, each artist has his own fans, so the opinions, of course, are divided. However, we still try to understand the candidates for the title of “fastest rapper”.
Short excursion
A rap is considered the transfer of information by means of recitative (reading, recitation (dec.)) Accompanied by musical accompaniment of a heavy beat. Connoisseurs will confirm: this is a special art. It takes practice here. The difficulty lies in quickly reading the text. Keeping pace is not easy. Moreover, it is still important not to “twist” the words, not to get confused in them. The technique has been practiced for years. The rappers themselves consider participation in “battles” the best way to improve their recitative. This is a kind of sparring. The conditions, it would seem, are simple: two rappers are thrown over with phrases, while preserving the meaning of the text, the musical rhythm and tempo. Of course, there should be a rhyme. I must say that not everyone can cope with such conditions.
Top fastest rappers
Based on the reviews of fans of this genre, we suggest considering the top three in reading speed.
Let's start with someone who can be proud of the mark in the Guinness Book. According to the recording made there, the fastest rapper is El Chojin from Spain. Following is General Levy from England. And finally, Bilgin Ozchalkan from Turkey, better known to fans as Ceza.
Actually, each of them can carry the title of “fastest rapper”. Briefly about each read below.
El chojin
The record of performance speed was recorded in Madrid on December 23, 2008. Then El Chojin in just one minute he managed to pronounce 921 syllables with a recitative, breaking the Rebel XD record.
The performer was born in Madrid in 1977. Parents come from Guinea. El Chojin began his career at age 15, performing in local groups. He released eight solo albums, among them the album “Striptease” is especially famous. In it, as the author himself stated, “the soul was truly exposed ...” By the way, the album used instrumental music unusual for rap. Creativity El Chojin has pronounced social nuances. He opposes drugs, alcohol, racism, violence. The Amnesty International organization, which is fighting for freedom of speech and the rights of people, has repeatedly selected the songs of this rapper for ongoing campaigns. In addition to recording albums, El Chojin writes scripts for productions, poems, books. He is the leading one of the programs on TV in Spain.
General levy
Born in London on 05/28/1971, he began his career at 17, in 1988, immediately showing a unique style of performance and clarity of syllable. After working a little in London reggae, he "appeared" in a rather famous label called "Fashion Records", releasing his debut album. By the way, the famous vocalist Capleton took part in the recording. The tracks of the album pretty quickly "saddled" the British radio stations. Levy's popularity seemed to grow by leaps and bounds. With high productivity, he recorded many dubplate specials (tracks for sound clashes). At the same time, he continued cooperation with Fashion. The intense pace gave its results: Levy became a very popular vocalist not only in his native England, but also in the world of music “jungle” and “reggae”.
His lyrics can be called a nuclear mixture of very serious tracks about culture, life, religion, diluted simultaneously with scandalous themes. His live performances are real shows. Levy seems indefatigable and able to charge with his seething energy endlessly.
Periodic participation in hip-hop labels has added popularity from other music circles. In 1993, major show business players became interested in his talent and style. Levy further strengthened his position among dancehall and reggae fans. In 2008, General Levy released another album, dubbed "Spirit and Faith", with reggae, jungle, dancehall tracks.
Bilgin Ozchalkan (Geza)
Quite a lot of experts insist that he is the fastest rapper. Bilgin Ozchalkan was born in 1997 in Turkey (Uskudar city). Grew up in Istanbul. Addicted to rap as a teenager. At first I took tapes from my friends for listening, and soon I tried to write my own compositions. After a while, he first released one album, and then the second. He then recorded under the pseudonym Fatalrhymer. In the late nineties he created the group "Nefret" (translated as "hate"). After the release of many songs, the guys became recognizable in their homeland. The group began to be invited to clubs for concerts. In 2000, the rapper recorded at a German prestigious studio called “Hammer Muzik”. I liked the album of local youth.
A little later, Bilgin takes another pseudonym, under which he continues to speak now. Today, fans know him as Ceza.
