As far as pronunciation is concerned, native speakers speak it as "hasl". In colloquial Russian, more precisely in "Runglish", the "hustle" variant has become entrenched. The difference will be explained by the rules of Russian-English practical transcription.

Distinctive features of the dance "hustle"

Hustle is a dance in which both partners push each other with quick and exciting movements to a fast musical rhythm.

Currently, there is a huge variety of styles, but they all share the following features:

• The training period is relatively short. It can be mastered even by those who do not consider themselves professional in dancing. On average, there are enough lessons for several months (about 15 practical lessons);
• Freedom to improvise: after mastering the basic elements and movements, you can start to fantasize and come up with your own combinations;
• A wide variety of acceptable musical accompaniment. Almost everyone can choose a melody to their taste - from hip-hop to fiery Latin American rhythms;
• Low entry threshold and availability for all ages and wallets. There are no barriers even for people of retirement age, there would be a desire;
• Gender Equality: Men and women are fully equal in rights. A representative of the fair sex can not be afraid to invite a young man she likes - and this will not be considered bad form.

Historical reference

The history of this cultural phenomenon does not exceed half a century. However, even such a short period of time is characterized by very rapid development:

• The 1970s are considered the starting point for the emergence of the Hustle. It was at this time, as a result of the fusion of the then popular Latin American salsa and mamba, a new example of dance art appeared;
• A decade later, the hasl was introduced to the Soviet Union. However, he did not gain much popularity at that time and was in circulation only within the walls of the largest institutions of higher education in the country;
• After the democratic reforms in Russia, the popularity of dance began to grow by leaps and bounds. The spread of disco music even in remote provincial corners played a significant role here;
• Currently, hustle is so widespread in our country that you can learn it in almost every city. All-Russian competitions are held with enviable regularity. At international championships, you can often hear Russian names. Despite its foreign origin, hasl very quickly took root on Russian soil.

Why should he learn?

Teaches or not to learn a new dance? This question is asked by both professional dancers and inexperienced beginners. But in the case of the Hasl, the very formulation of the question is not entirely correct. After all, he needs to learn, and here's why:

• You can quickly find a great figure and learn how to control your body. Through relaxed and aesthetically pleasing exercises, posture and figure are improved, coordination of movements is in order;
• In the process of studying and attending parties, you can find a lot of interesting and important acquaintances. Hustle is not just graceful and erotic movements, but a real subculture, each member of which is proud to be involved in it;
• This is a way of emancipation and getting rid of prejudices. There is no better way to boost your self-confidence than to start dancing;
• Hundreds of thousands of people have found in this way their soul mate and even destiny. Today it is difficult to meet a person on the street, but on the dance floor words are by themselves;
• This is a great opportunity to spend your free time. Social media and TV shows bring depression and damage your eyesight. And you won't be able to lose weight with them;
• Despite its half-century history, hasl is still relevant both in Russia and throughout the world.

As of today, this is the most successful song of the young rapper: in 2011 it was included in the list of the best hits according to the American Billboard magazine. Neither before nor after did Ace climb to such a height.

Hasl in culture and on the street

There are two more meanings of the concept of hasl. They are not so common, they are known mainly to people related to hip-hop music or dishonest businessmen.

So, hasl this:

1. Rapper striving to achieve popularity. One of the main meanings of the word is “ achieve success in dubious ways ". What does this have to do with rap? The fact is that this culture implies reading rhymed couplets for pleasure, for an understanding circle of people, as a way of life, a kind of hobby, not for sale, for self-realization. Hasl speaks for profit: no matter what he read and write about, what he does should be liked by others, thereby increasing the demand for his work and income, respectively. It adapts to the majority, and this kind of hip-hop is doubtful, this is already popular music;
2. A scammer who makes money in dubious ways. Hasl-scammers include instant passport loans at 300% per annum. Or brave guys offering to buy an iron and an electric shaver near the metro station only today at a super price. Agree, except as dubious, such earnings can not be called. Having met such people, you can safely say to your fellow traveler: "Do not pay attention, this is khasl."

As you have already noticed, the concept has many interpretations, has found application in various fields. Many are confused as to what to use it for, but some have not heard of this. But very soon it will be mastered, like many others who have come into our speech.

"All God's children can dance," wrote Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami. One has only to guess whether the famous author had in mind. That this quote exactly fits the characterization of this dance, no one dares to argue. There are no gender, age and social barriers here. Just a playground, music and a couple of people.

Video about hasl in hip-hop

In this video, Anton Romanov will tell his version of the meaning of the word "hasl" in the hip-hop community:

One of these recordings is the song "Penis Dominator" by the Samara collective Hustlehard flava- attracts with a peculiar approach: direct translation of texts and stylistic devices of the most dense rap of the American South into Russian soil gives an unusual comic and energetic effect. Moreover, the Internet fell in love with this particular song quite by accident; almost all HustleHard Flava compositions are not inferior in power to "Penis".

W → O → S contacted the members of the group, who are hiding behind the pseudonyms Big Boss and Young Pimp, and found out that in fact the guys dream of being remembered for something serious. We have also compiled a selection of rap of the new popular wave - it will cure any mental adversity.

W → O → S How did your band come about?
Big Boss: Cool question. In general, Young Pimp and MC boGomol (the mysterious third member of the group. - W → O → S), and I imperceptibly joined them (joined. - W → O → S). Before that, I had only listened to rap for nine years in old school, and now I am hooked on rap of the southern states - Waka Flocka Flame, Rick Ross. I started recording two or three years ago, for a long time there was only freestyle. At first, they just wanted to translate American rap literally into Russian - and it turned out to be such a tough thing. But all this does not take long. Basically, I just come home and record two or three tracks, and spend ten minutes writing lyrics.
Yung Pimp: Well, our rapper career began with the fact that we were dissolving in the ninth grade of teachers. And then, in short, we decided that we were going to banter all the serious rap.

W → O → S Well, what do you do in life?
Big Boss: Learning. Well, we also do serious music. But I don't see any prospects in Samara. Even to important concerts with rappers of such a level as mouth guard, there are 30-40 people. Antediluvian level. A lot of people read, but no one stands out. Everyone was stuck tightly in the 90s.
Yung Pimp: Schoolchildren invite schoolchildren and arrange concerts where schoolchildren play.

W → O → S Why your public only 300 subscribers, despite the fact that your tracks are quite popular on VKontakte?
Big Boss: Probably everyone is simply afraid that the subscriptions are visible to others. Many of my acquaintances listen, but no one signs. You study, work, and someone comes up to you in the office and sees that you are listening to HustleHard.

This is what Big Boss life looks like

W → O → S How old are you?
Yung Pimp: 20.
Big Boss: I am 33 years old.

Yung Pimp: P ... zdit. In general, it is pale in the fact that I do not change my voice when I read in the role of Pimp, so I am also fired on other projects.

W → O → S What kind of serious music do you do?
Yung Pimp: There is also a serious direction, rap for life. We also do bits and stuff. Not all diss.

W → O → S But every track you have is a diss about the fact that Russian rap sucks.


Yung Pimp: This is not a diss. This is the case.
Big Boss: We are not heroic knights, we just do not communicate with most of the local rappers. Most of them are Russian-oriented. I'm not interested in hearing about the bulbululator and how someone was opened. And about the fact that my bros are always with me. They also say all the time that they are raising culture. Our culture is Guf, Basta and Smokey, yeah. Trump card.
Yung Pimp: The trump card is us! Our trump card, our third, MC boGomol sits for life in Alcatraz. You must write that he has inhuman conditions there.
Big Boss: I really like "Ellipsis" from Russian rap. (Laughter.) Such sadness, longing in my soul. Recently I was driving in a pazik, on a bus, the driver was fierce. First "Aria" played, then "Kipelov", "I am free", and then abruptly "Ellipsis". I am not impressed. Thank God my stop was.

W → O → S You were not guided by "Krovostok" in your tracks?
Big Boss: I have always done graffiti and listened to Krovostok. We gesture because no one cuts it in. People are furious at all with such a trifle. Everyone we drove at, treat this normally. And people from outside are calling to keep an eye on the bazaar. You have to be a complete jerk to take it that way.
Yung Pimp: We are such a rap of the day, we get together, we record, and that's it.

W → O → S But are your tracks coming out slower now?
Big Boss: Here our microphone is broken, we can't take the cord in any way. In general, it is strange that rappers do not listen to HustleHard Flava almost. All sorts of fierce dudes listen to us all the time.
Yung Pimp: I would like the schoolchildren to listen to us.
Big Boss: Yes, schoolchildren are the main thing, otherwise nobody really needs you.

W → O → S Will you listen to the piano about life?
Yung Pimp: Yes, not necessarily so. It pins me that the guys who write about life live like ordinary people. We have invented everything, but this is a banter, everything is exaggerated so that it was immediately clear. And so the schoolchildren get together, write texts about a complex life, but have not seen the life.
