Rappers chant: "Respect, Vladimir Vladimirovich"

"It would have been cool to record a joint track with Vladimir Putin because he is a legendary man and our idol," sang rapper Zhigan who won the contest. "Let's make so much noise in his honour that the whole world can hear."

Despite hip-hop's violent image, Putin had a stern message for the rappers about healthy living.

"I do not think that 'top-rock' or 'down-rock' breakdance technique is compatible with alcohol or drugs," Putin told cheering hip-hoppers who responded with chants of "Respect, Vladimir Vladimirovich".

I eagerly await Putin's challenge to Obama of a game of one-on-one basketball for the fate of Europe. ;-)
