Right thing to do

Look what it did to America. At least maybe they know how to wear pants in Russia

Translation: Putin wants to control influential Afrocentric culture because he is afraid it will make people protest. guess what, it will he should be very afraid of its power.

🗣

'Straight Outta Volgograd!' Crazy man who like freedom! From gang called 'Dead People and their Families'.

How many FREE people and the oppressed are pissing themselves laughing at this despicable nonsense? I am 😊☺🤪

TeamSESH we gotta stop this guy

They tried that here in the America. Wasn’t successful.

Russia needs another Gorbachev type. Putin has gone beyond full dictator.

Control thru infiltration dictatorships

Old man screams at cloud

haha! He’s worried about rap but good on murder and poisoning. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Thank God! Metal isn't good either.

Rap went from uplifting poor black African Americans in the hood to Glorification of Gang Culture(that indoctrinates poor youth) & singing about Guns,Money,drugs & Hoes... Now we have Mumble Rapping. This is coming from a Jamaican-American.

This fool will leave the Kremlin in a body bag. The majority of Russians hate him. It's only a matter of time until a revolt happens

Propaganda Rap....

I am in Agreement with Putin & I agree that Rap Music Is harming the Russian Nation with it's negative Lyrics but the Positive thing about Russia Was It's ClassicalMusic and it's RussianComposers Like Rachmaninoff Tchaikosvky musichistory abc

Good most rap music is trash.

That's a dictator for you.

He will murder anybody selling it or playing it on public airways! People will be too scared to listen to it.

The richest man in the world wants to control rap

All the fucking fear mongoring this moron does and he’s afraid of gay people and rap music. This article alone has gone farther to stem some fears I had than anything else in the last 2 years.

amnediel No mamess, Putin! Long live the mother land :) all the way from Austin Tx. Hahaha nah but foreal much respect ✊ to my Russian kinfolks ,)

You targeted African Americans in the '16 election so I'd say turn about is fair play. The PMRC couldn't do it so enjoy you're autotune blues.

Yes, Vladdy, by all means control the arts into something like a propaganda machine for control of the masses. What an ugly, murderous prick. Worse than Stalin, IMO...🙄

Alarm about rap is sensible.

Here come the uneducated all pissed off about VP putting a halt on some of the most disgusting music of all time and yet “Baby, it’s cold outside” is not allowed? GTFOH

He’s Putin his mark on the rap game now lol

Sounds like he’s been talking to Trump

That will go well I’m sure.

Wow. this headline is so nice to PUTIN. wish you could be that nice to our amazing president.

Bolic631

😂😂😂😂😂

FASCISM

Tipper Gore tried this - it didn’t go well

The title should read, 'Putin aims at manipulating the music industry.'

ban Justin Biber!

That only gonna make more people want to listen to it.

Mr. Putin, just ban autotune and problem solved.

I love this idea. If your rap sucks we shoot you in the head.

Let's see Putin do Michael Jackson's moon walk

We are not any better off. We are building a wall for our smart cities, cough I mean prison. So they can spy on us better and fry our brains with 5g, take over our minds with AI and use sonic weapons on us to think they are Gods.

Yeah 'cause that always works; go for it. (Has he never met a teenager?)

How does a ragtag, Orthodox Tsardom in need of a clean shave Grow up to be a west-expanding shockwave? How do we emerge from a Time of Troubles and ire, Goin' from the Kiev Rus' to bein' the Russian Empire? Yo, turns out we had a secret weapon

I heard that aryan white nationalist Vladimir Putin also wants the movie blackklansman banned in ruSSia for mocking his bff David Duke.

Recruit KanyeWest.

The movie Footloose just popped into my brain. lol

Before Rap, they wanted to control Rock n’Roll.

Good luck with that Vladimir! Time for American payback for USSR’s campaign during 50s and 60s to promote communism in higher education in the US. It worked - the Dem Party has become a nest of commie loving nut jobs idolizing Hugo Chavez & Fidel Castro & indoctrinating kids

Let the music be, Vlad

The want for it to be controlled is because rap can express messsages that can't openly be said. Its like a social loophole. His thin skin for criticism wont allow 'secret messages' to be spread.

Time repeats itself!!

Good luck with that one

Paging Tipper Gore. Tipper Gore, white courtesy phone.

I wish we could control the garbage they call rap these days here

So, standard music industry mentality. Got it.
