To the 25th anniversary of the Album of deiets “Who? You « came a collection of cover versions » Tribes «
To the 25th anniversary of the debut album of decl “Who? You ”was published by the collection of covers-versions“ Tribyt ”. The artist, whose real name-Cyril Tolmatsky, passed away in 2019 and most of the public remained in his memory as a meme-meme of the turn of the century. But he turned out to be many songs worthy of rethinking, and representatives of various genres, including completely far from hip-hop, engaged in this. « Tribes » listened Igor Gavrilov.
Recently it became known that Cyril Tolmatsky will become the hero of the series. It is even strange that the idea of transferring the story of decl to the screen is realized only now. The conflict of Cyril Tolmatsky with the stage image that created him as a producer, the struggle for creative independence and the search for his place in music-all this is asked in the Bayopic script.
Despite the fact that shortly after the death of decl, in the same 2019, a decent documentary of Super Roman was released (now included in the Russian Federation in the register of foreign agents) « Clined windows »a number of lines of the rapper’s life plot are still waiting for his narrator. The widow of Cyril Tolmatsky, the mother of his son Tony Julia Kiseleva all these six years remains silent.
He does not comment on his conflicts with decl and Basta (Vasily Vakulenko), with whom the former hero MTV Russia even sued. It is unlikely that the intonation of the series will be balanced. The project is supervised by the father of the musician Alexander Tolmatsky, which means that events, most likely, will be shown in the film from his point of view.
The best way to real declu is his songs. It turns out that they can be read very differently.
And the released “tribute” is an attempt to go beyond the memes of the border of the 1990s and 2000s like “What have you done for hip-hop in your years?” And « Pepsi, Pager, MTV! »
« Tribes » begins with a song in English « Superstar » from « Dancehall Mafia » (2014), one of the late albums that Cyril Tolmatsky recorded in the style of « Denschall ». During this period, he plunged into the Jamaican culture, more widely, he lived a new life in which there was no room for pop titm. Superstar was recorded by Oleg LSP, and the main line here is most likely – « Real superstars never die. »
Following sounds « Who are you? » – The title song from the debut album of Deutzl. He was produced by Vlad Valov from the Bad Balance group. He has nothing to do with the current version. This hurricane track with a broken bat was recorded by the Bakuin cassette, one of the most popular Russian -speaking rappers of our days. There are no domestic rap veterans in the tribute at all, although with many of them, from Smokey to the Ligalasis (included in the Russian Federation in the list of foreign agents), decl worked closely. The older generation of musicians is represented « Fiasco » and alternatives Jane Air who sang « Night » In collaboration with the star of the 2020s Polnalubvi.
“Tribes” is the eyes of today’s heroes.
In the 2000s, it seemed that the verses of dezl are ingenuous and only service the bright image of the artist. It’s not that in the 2020s poetic depths were revealed in them, but against the background of the current song lyrics it is clear that the rapper with his texts really worked. The absence of modern slang or words that in the 2000s did not exist at all, does not interfere at all to receive pleasure from these covers. Participants in the tribute often change entire lines, adapting the texts to their life and their style, some add entire purchases, but in general, a huge respect for the material is still felt.
LOC-DOG (« Tears ») represents the school of « educational » rap with a simple guitar overcoming. Group « Frienddage » (« Bro ») is chopped with testosterone baile-fank. In the track « Blood, my blood » Contractors with the names « Lenya » and Guma obviously obeying the chorus in the spirit of Tatyana Kurtukova and Nadezhda Kadysheva. Young Baby Cute completely remade the text « Parties » Under the teenage girl, and the author, without a doubt, would only be glad of her version. Breikbit Antokhi MS, who in all tributes does about the same thing, in the “tribut” acquired an unexpected Cuban shade. A « Neobardy » (Romario, Vasily Urievsky, Pavel Pikovsky), from which one could expect one-dimensional guitar processing of the “parties”, withered in their usual style hip-hop-bit, and it turned out something like Everlast.
“Tribesy” shows how diverse the music of the guy, whom they tried to comb the format and who suffered from this suffered from this, was.
If one of the organizers of the summer festivals tries to transfer this tribe to the stage, this will be the best show of the season. And the series about decl will only win from such processing, if, of course, they are included in the soundtrack.
