I teach kids Russian in an American school, and every year, we have a sort of "последний звонок" event, where they do skits, sing songs and show off what they learned in class.

Anyhow, one of my groups has expressed deep interest in singing for their part... specifically rap or hip hop type stuff.

My problem, is it's hard to find a song with relatively clean lyrics that will not be too difficult for a group of 16 and 17 year olds to sing. (Yeah, most people won't understand what they're saying, but there are a few other russian speakers on the staff, and if it ever slips that we had the kids singing "dirty words", we'd get in big trouble. In American schools, everything must be PC. Drives me nuts.)

Does anyone know of any type of hip hop or rap type songs?
Suggestions for songs of any kind are welcome.


I just don't want to be stuck with черный бумер which one of my colleagues chose. I could not listen to that day in and day out while they practice for the next few months... (and yes I know that song is rather fast).

I'd say that ВИА Чаппа 'По волнам' would be wonderful for 'последний звонок'. Still I'm not sure it's, er, simple enough.
