Ratings of rappers compiled on the basis of analytical studies of requests from users of the Russian Internet. It must be said that the results of the study completely coincide with the commercial success of rappers and the number of data concerts in 2011. Thus, today's top 10 rappers reflects not only their popularity, but also their marketability and success.
The first place rightfully goes to the rapper Guf / Guf, who, in addition to the stage, is an Internet star, shrouded in a mass of rumors and gossip, he either hangs himself up, then gets into an accident with a fatal outcome, then dies from a bullet from the audience. And even if this is black PR, I must say it works 100%.
10. Bahh Te
First appearing on the eyes and ears of a wide audience at the beginning of 2011, it quickly gained popularity among Russian listeners and now confidently holds the 10th line of our rapper rating with a result of 3.2 million queries per year.
9. Triagrutrica
Despite the long experience of the collective (more than 7 years), the real glory overtook the group only in 2010, with the release of the album "Evening Chelyabinsk".

The legendary group, which once was the leaders of the rapper rating for a long time, but then disappeared for a couple of years to return and gain popularity among the Russian audience. In 2011, 6.9 million people were interested in the group.
6. Timati
The success of rapper Timati is largely due to his active participation in show business and the media, which allowed him to take the 6th line of the rating with an audience of 7.3 million Internet users.
5. Noggano
An active touring program in 2011 bore fruit and the second of the pseudonyms of the same rapper took the middle position in the top, but the first pseudonym reached as much as 2 lines, but more on that later ...
4.Noize MC
Russian rock, rap artist, composer and actor. The music of "noise" cannot be attributed to any particular style, it is rather a combination of hip-hop, punk, reggae and breakbeat - as the artist himself says. Noize MC is the most socially oriented rapper, actively expressing his civic position, for which he often paid at the price of his own freedom.
3. Loc-Dog
The first and only representative of the ElectroRap style in Russia, the rapper is known for his albums: “Goodbye to everyone”, “Paranoia”, “I'm not afraid”.
2. Basta
A unique rapper, simultaneously occupying the fifth and second positions in the ranking, thanks to his performances under two pseudonyms. Hopefully, this also brings him double income. Basta, and well-deserved 2nd place!
