Lost in translation

Hello guys!

I wonder if you're familiar with Russian slang: does anyone know a good equivalent for this line from a hip-hop track: "Во даю, во даю, по хип-хопу ботаю"?

A tip: this phrase is derived from the expression "по фене ботать" which means to talk in a special language popular among criminals and former convicts.

Some examples of the context:

1)Во даю, во даю, по хип-хопу ботаю,
В микрофон дую-дую, много не работаю.

2)Во даю, во даю, по хип-хопу ботаю,
Выдаю в куплетах топ флоу, а не воду лью.

Thanks,
Peter

Approach the nearest "AUDIO VIDEO" kiosk at a railway station and ask for, say, "Da best of Rostov Rap". Give it a listen. You'll be surprised (if you'll survive the experience.)

No thanks, I do cherish yet my miserable existence.

Nope, that is St1im, Serega and ST, they have nothing to do with Rostov.
You're probably referring to Kasta, Basta etc? =)
