Rappers rating compiled on the basis of analytical studies of user requests for Runet. I must say that the results of the study completely coincide with the commercial success of rappers and the number of concerts of data in 2011. So today's top 10 rappers reflects not only their popularity, but also salesability and success.
The first place rightfully goes to rapper Guf / Guf, who, in addition to the stage, is an Internet star, shrouded in a mass of rumors and gossip, he hangs himself, then gets into a fatal accident, or dies from a bullet from the auditorium. And even if it is black PR - I must say it works 100%.
10. Bahh Te
First appeared 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 rating of rappers with the result of 3.2 million requests per year.
9. Triagrutrica
Despite the great experience of the team (more than 7 years), real glory overtook the group only in 2010, with the release of the album “Evening Chelyabinsk”. At the moment, the group’s luggage already has more than 10 official albums, including solo collections of the founder of the rap group Jahmal’s, which brought 3.3 million requests per year.

7. Caste
The legendary group that once was a leader in the rating of rappers, but then disappeared for a couple of years, to return again 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
The 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 got to the second line, but more on that later ...
4. Noize MC
Russian rock, rap artist, composer and actor. “Noise” music cannot be attributed to any particular style, it is more likely a combination of hip-hop, punk, reggae and breakbeat - as the artist himself says. Noize MC is the most socially oriented rapper who actively expresses his civic position, for which he often paid at the cost 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: “Everyone Goodbye”, “Paranoia”, “I'm Not Afraid”.
2. Basta
A unique rapper, simultaneously occupying the fifth and second position in the ranking, thanks to performances under two pseudonyms. I would hope that this also brings him double income. Basta, and well-deserved 2 place!
