Title: "In an Unexpected Perspective" The song "В Неожиданном Ракурсе" (In an Unexpected Perspective) by Egor Kreed reflects the artist's perspective on the rap scene and his personal journey within it. The lyrics express his admiration for Egor Kreed himself and his perceived uniqueness compared to other rappers who he finds boring and outdated. The song also references a battle rap context, where rappers often take on new stage names to hide their real identities. Egor Kreed, in this sense, continues to be himself, presenting himself as an anti-hero, an enemy, and a personification of evil. The lyrics then take a personal turn, with Egor Kreed boasting about his own skills and achievements in the rap battles, highlighting a victory against another rapper named Romа. He mentions other rappers such as Jarahov and Levan who have allegedly fallen off, claiming that L' (possibly referring to L'One, another rapper) is the last one remaining, but still insignificant compared to Egor Kreed. Egor Kreed mocks L', calling him "Эльдар" (Eldar) and suggests that he has lost his talent and will never be the first in the rap scene. He further states that L' will always face bad luck and will not be noticed, as if the word "солнце" (sun) in the lyrics implies that L' is overshadowed. Egor Kreed asserts that L' is now the last Jew in the rap battle, but his delivery lacks energy and enthusiasm as if he is tired from observing the Jewish day of rest, "шабат" (Shabbat), throughout the week. The lyrics then criticize L' for being outdated in a year such as 2020, suggesting that he changes his nickname from "SkoroBudu" to "Везде опоздаю" (Always Late). Egor Kreed playfully challenges an older man, referred to as "дед" (grandpa), to come out to play a game and listen to his album. He uses sarcastic remarks, suggesting that the grandpa is technologically outdated with an "ИК-порт" (IR port) and refers to him as a "лох" (dick). Egor Kreed goes on to comment on L's background from Israel, mentioning that he now understands why L' struggles to find his place at the age of 40. He claims that his own old-school rap style resonates with listeners, but L' is seen as cheap and suffocating. Egor Kreed suggests that L' made a comeback but needed one more "Lа" to reach a higher level. He further belittles L', stating that he emerged from the underground to battle but will ultimately be defeated and buried. Egor Kreed asserts that he has listened to L's track, implying that he has won the battle against him, as there is no spark or intrigue in L's music. He concludes by stating that even someone like Quentin Tarantino would find L' unimpressive from certain perspectives. Egor Kreed asserts that he is everything that L' did not expect from him, emphasizing his own distinctiveness and talent. Overall, "В Неожиданном Ракурсе" expresses Egor Kreed's confidence, pride, and dismissal of other rappers in the genre, while highlighting his own uniqueness and superiority.
