Who is the fastest benchmark today?

Determine who is the fastest benchmark in the world today is not as easy as it might seem. Firstly, the records are constantly beating, and the lists of the best are updated. Secondly, each performer has his own fans, so opinions, of course, are divided. However, we still try to understand the candidates for the title "the fastest benchmark."

Short excursion

Rap considers the transfer of information by means of a recitative (reading, reading) to the musical accompaniment of a heavy bit. Connoisseurs will confirm: this is a special art. Practice is needed here. The difficulty lies in the rapid reading of the text. Keep the pace is not so simple. Moreover, it is important not to "twist" the words, not to get lost in them. The technique is worked out for years. The rappers themselves consider participation in the "battles" as the best way to improve the recitative. This is a kind of sparring. The conditions seem to be simple: two rappers are thrown with phrases, while preserving the meaning of the text, the musical rhythm and tempo. Of course, there must be rhyme. I must say that not all cope with such conditions.

Top of the fastest benchmarks

Based on the reviews of fans of this genre, we suggest to consider the top three in speed reading.

Let's start with someone who can be proud of the mark in the Guinness Book. According to the record made there, the fastest benchmark is El Chojin from Spain. Next comes General Levy from England. And, finally, Bilgin Ozchalkan from Turkey, better known to fans under the name Ceza.

Actually, each of them can be called "the fastest benchmark". Briefly about each of you read below.

El Chojin

Record speed of execution recorded in Madrid on December 23, 2008. Then El Chojin For one minute he managed to pronounce with a recitative 921 syllables, beating the record of Rebel XD.

He was born in Madrid in 1977. My parents are from Guinea. The career of El Chojin began at age 15, speaking in local groups. He released eight solo albums, among which the album "Striptease" is especially famous. In it, as the author himself stated, "the soul was really exposed ..." By the way, the album used an unusual instrumental for rap music. Creativity El Chojin has pronounced social shades. He opposes drugs, alcohol, racism, violence. The organization "Amnesty International", fighting for the freedom of speech and the rights of people, repeatedly selected the songs of this rapper for the ongoing campaigns. In addition to recording albums, El Chojin writes scripts for productions, poems, books. He is the host of one of the programs on the TV of Spain.

General Levy

Born in London on May 28, 1971, he began his career at 17, in 1988, immediately showing a unique style of performance and clarity of the syllable. Having worked a little in London reggae, "lit up" in a fairly well-known label called "Fashion Records", releasing his debut album. By the way, the well-known vocalist Capleton took part in the recording. The tracks of the album quickly "saddled" the British radio stations. The popularity of Levy seemed to grow in leaps and bounds. Possessing high productivity, he recorded a lot of dubplate specials (tracks for sound-clash). At the same time I continued my cooperation with Fashion. The intense pace gave its results: Levi 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 with scandalous themes at the same time. His live performances are real shows. Levi seems tireless and capable of charging his boiling energy endlessly.

Periodic participation in hip-hop labels has added popularity from other musical circles. In 1993, his talent and style became interested in big show business players. Levy further strengthened his position among the denshall and reggae fans. In 2008 General Levy released another album, called "Spirit and Faith", with tracks reggae, jungle, dancehall.

Bilgin Ozchalkan (Geza)

A lot of experts insist that it is the fastest benchmark. Born Bilgin Ozchalkan in 1997 in Turkey (the city of Uskudar). He grew up in Istanbul. I became addicted to rap when I was a teenager. First he took a cassette for listening to his friends, and soon he tried to write his own compositions. After a while, I released one album first, followed by the second one. It was recorded under the pseudonym Fatalrhymer. In the late nineties he created the group "Nefret" (translated as "hatred"). After the release of many songs, the guys became recognizable in their homeland. The group was invited to the 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 perform now. Today, fans know him as Ceza.
