Urgant and Sergei Shrunov. Ivan Urgant and Sergey Shnurov staged a rap battle on Versus. ...and with Sergei

Ivan Urgant in his original program always tries to surprise the viewer not only with sparkling jokes, but also unusual ideas. This time, the leader of the Leningrad group, Sergei Shnurov, appeared as a guest star. Celebrities staged a parody of the popular competition of rap performers Versus battle, the task of which is to point out the opponent’s shortcomings during the recitative process.

“Singer, actor, poet, painter, composer, showman, TV presenter - smoking, drinking, like a flock of pigeons, giving in to everything. An insta star in her posts scribbling: “Swearing is not a crime,” like Lesha Panin. You are bored, my friend, by my maxims! You will not continue to stand even after taking your potency pills! I hope there is no need to explain the hint to anyone? Today we’re in battle, guys, I have a sluggish terminator with me.”

The audience was delighted with Urgant’s ironic and unexpectedly sharp performance. The man played so believably that some even believed for a moment that what was happening was serious. Despite the fact that the audience perfectly understands the strangeness of the situation, thanks to the actors’ acting skills, their conflict looked truly serious.

After the round, the men, as expected, warmed up a little and drank some water, thereby heating up the situation even more. But, as you know, Shnurov won’t put his money where his mouth is. The singer managed to respond adequately to his colleague.

"I'm sorry. What, the music didn't work out? Didn't Urgant Grisha work out? I’m sorry, but not really, that you didn’t succeed in adding two lines either, friend. No - it would be better if you sang! I will tell you, not without flattery: without jokes, I wait for your songs, which are full of wisdom and caress the ear, like breaking waves. But there are none. The holy place is empty. And what would art be like without you?” - Sergei retorted.

But if the humiliation here was comic, then not so long ago Shnurov really entered into a conflict. The musician spoke on the topic of the new video of the ex-soloist of the Leningrad group Alisa Vox. The outrageous singer posted a video on the Internet for the song “Baby”, which a short time received more than a million views. Apparently, the girl’s work was not to the celebrity’s taste, and he publicly criticized the artist on the microblog.

“It’s like a dirty orderly giving a lecture on hygiene. Any statement, especially in the imperative mood, claiming to have a directing role, no matter what its content, must, according to at least, do not conflict with the form. If you shoot a video of lower quality than that of a novice video blogger, where everything is shoddy - makeup, lighting, camera angles, editing; If you write a text that even the most worthless site will not accept, because of completely preschool and uninteresting rhymes, then teaching looks simply inappropriate. Yes Yes. Exactly. “Start with yourself,” wrote Sergei.

A video has appeared online where Sergei Shnurov and Ivan Urgant compete in a rap battle on Versus. The corresponding video was published in social network"In contact with".

The duration of the video is 3:16, during which time Urgant and Shnur, in the company of the Restaurateur and the public of Bar 1703, manage to read out one round each.

Information that Sergey Shnurov took part in the Versus rap battle appeared on June 21, when a joint photo of Shnur and Alexander Timartsev, better known as the Restaurateur, was discovered online.
