"I don't really like people at all." Pharaoh about his wife, faith and new values
Rapper Pharaoh/YouTube Rapper Pharaoh (real name - Gleb Golubin. - Approx. ed.) gave the first interview in five years - to the publication "Rules of Life". He spoke about his wife, about why he could not work in the US, and how he relates to publicity.
About publicity
I don't really like people at all. I do not like big noisy companies, public life. I love creativity, I love doing it in solitude.
About the interview with Yuri Dud
In the last interview, I was sincere, but inexperienced. I was just beginning to "haw" all the charms and shit of this life. Then I did not understand how to react to all this, and how a person was not fully formed. In an interview with Dudu*, the rapper spoke about difficult relationships with fans and friendship with Sergei Shnurov and Alexander Nevzorov.
About relations with Alexander Nevzorov and Sergey Shnurov
Our paths in life have diverged a long time ago. I used to look these people in the mouth.
About women
Family and wife are my haven. It gives me a sense of home, a sense of responsibility, my duty. And it does not burden me, but on the contrary, makes me a real man. We don't like both people. We don’t need these people *** (we don’t need them. - Approx. ed.) - people are stupid, vicious, envious. In February, the rapper married the finalist of the 18th season of the show "Battle of Psychics" Sonya Egorova. A few years ago, Gleb also met with the model and daughter of the famous tennis player Yevgeny Kafelnikov Alesya. As the model recalls , during this time she became addicted to drugs and had psychological problems.
About modern Russian rap
I don't know what to consider as an industry now. I stopped following the Russian market, because it has slid down nowhere. I have never seen a place for myself inside this industry, and to this day I do not see it.
About values in modern rap
I'm not sure there are values there. People have gone mad and crazy about money and popularity. Further it is already an edge, an abyss, a catastrophe. Here is this constant postulate that everyone should be rich and famous. This is generally why and where, I do not really understand.
About trying to work in the USA
I went, looked and closed this story for myself. Although then it seemed naive that it was a ceiling and a dream: I really wanted to go there. Just faced disappointment, saw how it works. I could not break myself, but I would have to. <...> It seems to us that there are *** (huge. - Approx. ed.) earnings, an unrealistically beautiful life. But I saw that the label is constructing a picture so that this product sells well to the world. My bubble has burst. In 2019, the rapper was offered a seven-year deal with Interscope Record in Los Angeles.
About life path and evolution
Man is just a man. I believe that human life is just a path for conditional evolution. The higher powers still want the soul to evolve. Evolution requires work. God gave man free will, gave a choice. A person can choose not to evolve, but to degrade.
About weakness
Because of my specific upbringing, it was hard for me to forgive myself for weaknesses. It was impossible to appear weak in any case. For a long time it seemed to me that there should be only one polarity - everything is decided by force. But life is not like that.
About the current generation
Today, few people dig into anything, they have eradicated the need for it. Digging is like thinking, deepening, doubting. All digitalization - switched, switched, switched, scored the time, scored the time, scored the time. You don't have time for questions. A person begins to adapt, that he does not have time - they must give him a media product, open it, he must shove it like a hamburger, he must like it and fill his stomach. <...> Previously, when people were left to themselves, they took up books, live communication, live leisure. Those guys who were born later than us, with iPhones in their hands, they did not see another world. They don't see any second plans.
About faith
I am actually a very religious person. I believe in the light, I believe in God, I believe in what I do. <...> I certainly feel stuffy, because I feel people very well, the temperature in the hospital. Pharaoh is a Russian rap artist, the son of football functionary Gennady Golubin. A former member of Grindhouse and YungRussia, today he is the leader of the Dead Dynasty creative association. After the start of the military special operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, the rapper publicly spoke out against the actions of the Russian authorities. “To be honest, we don’t remember exactly what he was like in the previous public conversation, but he certainly didn’t emit the energy of a tired and knowledgeable person. One who would have to rest. One who says:“ Yes, I already saw ", - commented on the interview in the telegram channel "Antiglanets" .
