PEOPLE'S CHAMPION

Origin of the nickname

First of all, to answer the question: “Legalize – what is it?”, you need to turn to the English language.
This nickname is quite provocative, because it comes from the English word legalise, which translates as legalization, and is usually used in relation to soft drugs, namely marijuana. In many countries they are legally permitted, and in a number of US states this substance is used to reduce intraocular pressure in glaucoma or is prescribed by doctors for depression. Andrey Menshikov is now better known as Legalize, since that was the name of his first group. Nobody knows why he named the group that way, but many believe that the subtext was the legalization of rap in our country. At the moment when the performer began his creative journey, there were practically no artists who chose this genre, except for the group “Malchishnik”, which was banned from rotation.

A little about this artist

It is impossible to talk about who Legalize is, what his work represents and how he became famous, without a brief biographical note.
Like many modern rappers, this performer was born into an intelligent family. His father is a world-renowned chemistry professor. Andrey received a basic musical education, which greatly helped him when writing compositions, although it was not complete. Later he took up karate and gave it 7 years of his life, and then rap came into his life. He tried to follow in his father's footsteps and entered the University of Chemical Technology. However, he also did not complete his studies there. Since, together with his group Slingshot, he joined the DOB association

Immediately after recording the first English-language album, Legalize left for the Congo, what his action meant is still unknown. There he continued to study hip-hop with the group AERO. This allowed him to expand his knowledge about this area and gain invaluable experience, which he used already in Moscow.

Childhood and youth

Andrey Vladimirovich Menshikov (real name of the rapper) was born on July 30, 1977 in Moscow. The parents of the future star least of all expected that their offspring would become famous as a hip-hop performer. Legalize's father is a chemistry professor who planned for his son to follow in his footsteps and connect his life with science.

Andrey grew up as an active child. It is known that in his childhood he practiced karate. The boy devoted seven years to martial art and achieved some success - he took prizes at regional competitions. But sports didn’t work out for Menshikov due to the fact that his whole nature was drawn to the illusory world of sounds, which captivated him almost from the cradle.

Music conquered Legalize's other hobbies

In conversations with media representatives, the artist has repeatedly said that while his peers were kicking a ball around in the yard, he was mastering programs for creating samples and beats.

After school, at the insistence of his parents, the young man applied to the Institute of Chemical Technology. True, the talented rapper did not manage to graduate from higher education. After four years, he realized that a technical specialty was not for him and that he did not want to do anything other than music.

After Andrei heard the American band NWA in 1990, his life changed dramatically. Inspired by the creativity of Californians, Menshikov got the idea to create something similar in Russian realities.

Legalize in his youth

In 1993, thanks to a strange coincidence, the young man met Moscow MC Ladjak. Together the guys created a project called Slingshot. Colleagues wrote their songs in English, since Russian rap was not popular in those days.

At some point there was even talk of a contract with an American label, but it didn’t work out. It is known that as part of this project, Legalize managed to record the album “Salut From Russia”, but released it only in 2020.

Creative path

A year later, Legalize continued working under the DOB brand. He recorded a Russian-language album, which quickly made him recognizable and popular among fans of this trend.
Later, the Jam Style & Da Boogi team included his recitatives in the video “You wanted a party.” He earned great popularity on MTV, which attracted the attention of producer Alexander Tolmatsky, better known as the father of rapper Decl, to Legalize. He included him in the famous group “Legal Bizne$$”, which soared to the top of the charts thanks to a hit using Viktor Tsoi’s song “Pack of Cigarettes”. From that moment on, Legalize composed songs for Decl, participated in two groups at once (the second was Bad Balance) and actively developed in terms of creativity. The public loved him because he absolutely did not repeat himself. Each composition was unique and loved. It was his lines that Decl’s fans sang.

But then Legalize again did an unusual thing; at the peak of his popularity, he left for Prague. In his farewell note, he deprived himself of the right to vote in Russian hip-hop and renounced his previous creativity. After a short time, the Bad Balance alliance fell apart, which created a conflict between the League and Sheff.

Participation in the creation of soundtracks

Upon returning to Russia, he creates his own label, Intelligent Hooligan Productions.
Under it, he was finally able to release his first solo album, as well as several acclaimed hits. Until this time, Legalize released albums only in association with other performers, although he had been working on stage for more than ten years. In 2005, his solo track from this album immediately received a nomination from MTV, and then a series of successes followed. His track “No Love, No Longing, No Pity” became the title track in the film “Bastards” and was loved not only by hip-hop fans. Almost simultaneously with this box office tape, the series “Club” was released on one of the Russian channels, the soundtrack for which was also written by the League.

The debut album also included the track “Future Mothers,” which confirmed that Legalize’s videos are worth watching. The actors from the series “Club” starred in it, and the audience liked the production. This clip was in rotation on all music channels, and on MTV it occupied the top lines of the consolidated charts. Later, work on the soundtrack for the film “Black Lightning,” which he wrote together with the group “Bi-2,” was added to his achievements.

Beginning of a musical career

In 1993, thanks to a strange coincidence, the young man met Moscow MC Ladjak. Together, young people created a project called Slingshot. The songs were written in English, since Russian-language rap in those days was a complete terra incognita. At some point there was even talk about a contract with an American label, but it didn’t work out. As part of this project, Legalize released a single album (in 2020) - “Salut From Russia”.

Young Legalize

In 1994, Legalize entered the hip-hop formation "DOB Community" ("Department of Bastards") along with the guys from "Slaves of the Lamp", "Just Da Enemy" and "Beat Point". During this period, he took part in the recording of the album of the group “DOB” and helped “Slaves of the Lamp” with their early work.

Andrey Menshikov took the pseudonym Legalize

In 1996, the rapper left for the Congo, where he began rapping in French as part of the group AERO Skwadra. In the new country, Andrei’s worldview changed dramatically, and he finally realized that rap is not a memorized text, but pure improvisation, which comes from souls.

Life in the Congo changed Legalize

A year later, he was forced to leave the country as civil war broke out in the Congo. He and his wife were deported as a foreigner.

Upon returning to Russia, Legalize made every effort to change the guys who were still recording rap under the DOB label. The guy spent most of his free time trying to change his style and direct the guys’ minds in a completely different direction.

Legalize and Bad B. Alliance

In 1999, Legalize, together with Vlad Valov, organized “Bad B. Alliance” and literally a year later released the album “Rhythmomafia”. After this, the guy decided to go to Prague, where he recorded another album, “Provocation,” on his label.

In 2005, he managed to attract the attention of the distribution label Monolith Records. In the same year, he became the most toured rapper in the country. Just a year later, his debut solo album “XL” was released.

MakSim ft. Legalize - Fall asleep Having succeeded in hip-hop, Legalize opened all the doors for himself. From 2007 to 2011, he took an active part in the life of the domestic rap scene and worked on his second solo album, produced by The Alchemist.

Creativity today

In 2020, a new video will be released by Legalize feat. ONYX, which conquers the charts. It is close to all modern people, so not only hip-hop fans fell in love with the track. The clip talks about people under stress. Everyone needs an outlet for accumulated energy, the League and his colleague suggest using creativity for this. They identify rap with a kind of “Boxing Club”. On Cosmonautics Day 2020, Legalize surprises the public again and releases a joint video with the Trubetskoy group called “Gagarin.” For the rapper, this was a step into the territory of Russian rock and underground.

Rappers often make joint tracks with rockers, one of the most famous was the duet Jay-Z & Linkin Park, so it cannot be said that the technique used by the League is new. The video for this track was filmed in Kyiv.

Legalize now

In 2020, Andrei and the singer Burito recorded the single “Untouchables,” which, according to the artist, was to be included in his next album. Fans were looking forward to this event.

Recently, many rappers have been quite successful in combining hip-hop with house. So Legalize decided to do something similar. In the fall of 2017, he recorded a joint track with the Moscow house duo Filatov & Karas. The video for the song “One More Day” was directed by Igor Voloshin, known for the films “Nirvana”, “Olympius Inferno” and the TV series “Olga”.

Filatov & Karas vs. Legalize - "Another Day"

The main female role in the video was played by athlete Angela Peresypkina. In the story, Legalize fights for survival in a post-apocalyptic world. He was kept company by a dog, whom he treated to meat. The viewer liked this work, and in just 4 months the video received 3 million views.

From the very beginning of 2020, the singer began to delight fans with new works. At the end of January, a clip of Legalize with Zdobsi Zdub and Loredana appeared on the Internet. The song is called “Balkan Mama” and it sounds appropriate.

In March, a joint track was released with the group “25/17” called “Fate (Damned Rap).”

Legalize - “Don’t Believe the Hype” (video premiere, 2018)

And in April 2020, the musician presented his third solo work - the album “The Young King”. It included 11 tracks. In the same month, the musician shot the first video for this album, “Don’t Believe the Hype.”

In June 2020, he gave a long, honest video interview to the YouTube channel The Flow, in which he talked about both his successes and weaknesses, and also shared his critical attitude towards his actions. The rapper admits that he understands that he cannot regain his former popularity, but now he is in the right creative tone. Legalize continues to tour and sell out houses.

An excerpt characterizing Legalize

“Forgive me,” said Prince Andrei, “but you are so young, and I have already experienced so much of life.” I'm scared for you. You don't know yourself. Natasha listened with concentrated attention, trying to understand the meaning of his words and did not understand. “No matter how difficult this year will be for me, delaying my happiness,” continued Prince Andrei, “in this period you will believe in yourself.” I ask you to make my happiness in a year; but you are free: our engagement will remain a secret, and if you were convinced that you do not love me, or would love me ... - said Prince Andrei with an unnatural smile. - Why are you saying this? – Natasha interrupted him. “You know that from the very day you first arrived in Otradnoye, I fell in love with you,” she said, firmly convinced that she was telling the truth. - In a year you will recognize yourself... - A whole year! – Natasha suddenly said, now only realizing that the wedding had been postponed for a year. - Why a year? Why a year?...” Prince Andrei began to explain to her the reasons for this delay. Natasha didn't listen to him. – Can’t it be otherwise? – she asked. Prince Andrei did not answer, but his face expressed the impossibility of changing this decision. - It's horrible! No, this is terrible, terrible! – Natasha suddenly spoke and began to sob again. - I will die waiting a year: this is impossible, this is terrible. “She looked into the face of her fiancé and saw on him an expression of compassion and bewilderment. “No, no, I’ll do everything,” she said, suddenly stopping her tears, “I’m so happy!” – Father and mother entered the room and blessed the bride and groom. From that day on, Prince Andrei began to go to the Rostovs as a groom. There was no engagement and Bolkonsky’s engagement to Natasha was not announced to anyone; Prince Andrei insisted on this. He said that since he was the cause of the delay, he must bear the entire burden of it. He said that he was forever bound by his word, but that he did not want to bind Natasha and gave her complete freedom. If after six months she feels that she does not love him, she will be within her right if she refuses him. It goes without saying that neither the parents nor Natasha wanted to hear about it; but Prince Andrei insisted on his own. Prince Andrei visited the Rostovs every day, but did not treat Natasha like a groom: he told her you and only kissed her hand. After the day of the proposal, a completely different, close, simple relationship was established between Prince Andrei and Natasha. It was as if they didn't know each other until now. Both he and she loved to remember how they looked at each other when they were still nothing, now both of them felt like completely different creatures: then feigned, now simple and sincere. At first, the family felt awkward in dealing with Prince Andrei; he seemed like a man from an alien world, and Natasha spent a long time accustoming her family to Prince Andrei and proudly assured everyone that he only seemed so special, and that he was the same as everyone else, and that she was not afraid of him and that no one should be afraid his. After several days, the family got used to him and, without hesitation, continued with him the same way of life in which he took part. He knew how to talk about the household with the Count, and about outfits with the Countess and Natasha, and about albums and canvas with Sonya. Sometimes the Rostov family, among themselves and under Prince Andrei, were surprised at how all this happened and how obvious the omens of this were: the arrival of Prince Andrei in Otradnoye, and their arrival in St. Petersburg, and the similarity between Natasha and Prince Andrei, which the nanny noticed on their first visit Prince Andrei, and the clash in 1805 between Andrei and Nikolai, and many other omens of what happened were noticed by those at home. The house was filled with that poetic boredom and silence that always accompanies the presence of the bride and groom. Often sitting together, everyone was silent. Sometimes they got up and left, and the bride and groom, remaining alone, were still silent. Rarely did they talk about their future lives. Prince Andrei was scared and ashamed to talk about it. Natasha shared this feeling, like all his feelings, which she constantly guessed. Once Natasha began asking about his son. Prince Andrei blushed, which often happened to him now and which Natasha especially loved, and said that his son would not live with them. - From what? – Natasha said in fear. - I can’t take him away from my grandfather and then... - How I would love him! - Natasha said, immediately guessing his thought; but I know you want there to be no excuses to blame you and me. The old count sometimes approached Prince Andrei, kissed him, and asked him for advice on the upbringing of Petya or the service of Nicholas. The old countess sighed as she looked at them. Sonya was afraid at every moment of being superfluous and tried to find excuses to leave them alone when they didn’t need it. When Prince Andrei spoke (he spoke very well), Natasha listened to him with pride; when she spoke, she noticed with fear and joy that he was looking at her carefully and searchingly. She asked herself in bewilderment: “What is he looking for in me? He's trying to achieve something with his gaze! What if I don’t have what he’s looking for with that look?” Sometimes she entered into her characteristic insanely cheerful mood, and then she especially loved to listen and watch how Prince Andrei laughed. He rarely laughed, but when he laughed, he gave himself entirely to his laughter, and every time after this laugh she felt closer to him. Natasha would have been completely happy if the thought of the impending and approaching separation did not frighten her, since he too turned pale and cold at the mere thought of it. On the eve of his departure from St. Petersburg, Prince Andrei brought with him Pierre, who had never been to the Rostovs since the ball. Pierre seemed confused and embarrassed. He was talking to his mother. Natasha sat down with Sonya at the chess table, thereby inviting Prince Andrey to her. He approached them. – You’ve known Bezukhoy for a long time, haven’t you? - he asked. - Do you love him? - Yes, he is nice, but very funny. And she, as always speaking about Pierre, began to tell jokes about his absent-mindedness, jokes that were even made up about him. “You know, I trusted him with our secret,” said Prince Andrei. – I have known him since childhood. This is a heart of gold. “I beg you, Natalie,” he said suddenly seriously; – I’ll leave, God knows what might happen. You might spill... Well, I know I shouldn't talk about it. One thing, no matter what happens to you when I’m gone... - What will happen?... - No matter what grief there is, - continued Prince Andrei, - I ask you, m lle Sophie, no matter what happens, turn to him alone for advice and help. This is the most absent-minded and funny person, but the most golden heart. Neither father and mother, nor Sonya, nor Prince Andrei himself could foresee how parting with her fiancé would affect Natasha. Red and excited, with dry eyes, she walked around the house that day, doing the most insignificant things, as if not understanding what awaited her. She did not cry even at that moment when, saying goodbye, he kissed her hand for the last time. - Don't leave! - she just said to him in a voice that made him think about whether he really needed to stay and which he remembered for a long time after that. When he left, she didn't cry either; but for several days she sat in her room without crying, was not interested in anything and only sometimes said: “Oh, why did he leave!” But two weeks after his departure, just as unexpectedly for those around her, she woke up from her moral illness, became the same as before, but only with a changed moral physiognomy, just as children with a different face get out of bed after a long illness. The health and character of Prince Nikolai Andreich Bolkonsky, in this last year after his son’s departure, became very weak. He became even more irritable than before, and all the outbursts of his causeless anger mostly fell on Princess Marya. It was as if he was diligently looking for all her sore spots in order to morally torture her as cruelly as possible. Princess Marya had two passions and therefore two joys: her nephew Nikolushka and religion, and both were favorite topics for the prince’s attacks and ridicule. Whatever they talked about, he turned the conversation to the superstitions of old girls or the pampering and spoiling of children. - “You want to make him (Nikolenka) an old girl like yourself; in vain: Prince Andrey needs a son, not a girl,” he said. Or, turning to Mademoiselle Bourime, he asked her in front of Princess Marya how she liked our priests and images, and joked... He constantly painfully insulted Princess Marya, but the daughter did not even make an effort on herself to forgive him. How could he be guilty before her, and how could her father, who, she still knew, loved her, be unjust? And what is justice? The princess never thought about this proud word: “justice.” All the complex laws of humanity were concentrated for her in one simple and clear law - the law of love and self-sacrifice, taught to us by the One who lovingly suffered for humanity, when he himself is God. What did she care about the justice or injustice of other people? She had to suffer and love herself, and that’s what she did. In winter, Prince Andrei came to Bald Mountains, he was cheerful, meek and gentle, as Princess Marya had not seen him for a long time. She had a presentiment that something had happened to him, but he did not say anything to Princess Marya about his love. Before leaving, Prince Andrei talked for a long time about something with his father, and Princess Marya noticed that before leaving, both were dissatisfied with each other. Soon after the departure of Prince Andrei, Princess Marya wrote from Bald Mountains to St. Petersburg to her friend Julie Karagina, whom Princess Marya dreamed of, as girls always dream, of marrying her brother, and who at that time was in mourning on the occasion of the death of her brother, killed in Turkey. “Sorrow, apparently, is our common destiny, dear and gentle friend Julieie.” “Your loss is so terrible that I cannot otherwise explain it to myself, as a special mercy of God, who wants to experience - by loving you - you and your excellent mother. Ah, my friend, religion, and only religion, can, let alone console us, but save us from despair; one religion can explain to us what a person cannot understand without its help: why, why beings who are kind, sublime, who know how to find happiness in life, who not only do not harm anyone, but are necessary for the happiness of others - are called to God, but remain to live evil, useless, harmful, or those who are a burden to themselves and others. The first death that I saw and which I will never forget - the death of my dear daughter-in-law, made such an impression on me. Just as you ask fate why your beautiful brother had to die, in the same way I asked why this angel Liza had to die, who not only did not do any harm to a person, but never had anything but good thoughts in her soul . And well, my friend, five years have passed since then, and I, with my insignificant mind, am already beginning to clearly understand why she needed to die, and how this death was only an expression of the infinite goodness of the Creator, all of whose actions , although we mostly do not understand them, they are only manifestations of His infinite love for His creation. Perhaps, I often think, she was too angelically innocent to have the strength to bear all the responsibilities of a mother. She was impeccable, like a young wife; perhaps she could not be such a mother. Now, not only did she leave us, and especially Prince Andrei, the purest regret and memory, she will probably get that place there that I do not dare hope for for myself. But, not to mention her alone, this early and terrible death had the most beneficial effect, despite all the sadness, on me and on my brother. Then, in a moment of loss, these thoughts could not come to me; Then I would have driven them away with horror, but now it is so clear and undeniable. I am writing all this to you, my friend, only to convince you of the gospel truth, which has become a life rule for me: not a single hair of my head will fall without His will. And His will is guided only by boundless love for us, and therefore everything that happens to us is all for our good. Are you asking if we will spend next winter in Moscow? Despite all my desire to see you, I don’t think and don’t want it. And you will be surprised that Buonaparte is the reason for this. And here's why: my father's health is noticeably weakening: he cannot tolerate contradictions and becomes irritable. This irritability, as you know, is directed primarily at political matters. He cannot bear the thought that Buonaparte is dealing as with equals, with all the sovereigns of Europe and especially with ours, the grandson of the Great Catherine! As you know, I am completely indifferent to political affairs, but from the words of my father and his conversations with Mikhail Ivanovich, I know everything that is happening in the world, and especially all the honors given to Buonaparte, who, it seems, is still only in Lysykh Mountains throughout the globe are not recognized as either a great man, much less a French emperor. And my father can't stand it. It seems to me that my father, mainly due to his view of political affairs and foreseeing the clashes that he will have, due to his manner of expressing his opinions without embarrassment with anyone, is reluctant to talk about a trip to Moscow. Whatever he gains from treatment, he will lose due to the disputes about Buonaparte, which are inevitable. In any case, this will be decided very soon. Our family life continues as before, with the exception of the presence of brother Andrei. He, as I already wrote to you, has changed a lot lately. After his grief, only this year has he completely morally come to life. He became the same as I knew him as a child: kind, gentle, with that golden heart that I know no equal to. He realized, it seems to me, that life is not over for him. But along with this moral change, he physically became very weak. He became thinner than before, more nervous. I am afraid for him and am glad that he took this trip abroad, which doctors have long prescribed for him. I hope this fixes it. You write to me that in St. Petersburg they talk about him as one of the most active, educated and intelligent young people. Sorry for the pride of kinship - I never doubted it. It is impossible to count the good that he did here to everyone, from his peasants to the nobles. Arriving in St. Petersburg, he took only what he should have. I’m surprised how rumors from St. Petersburg reach Moscow in general, and especially such incorrect ones as the one you are writing to me about - the rumor about the imaginary marriage of my brother to little Rostova. I don’t think Andrei will ever marry anyone, and especially not her. And here’s why: firstly, I know that although he rarely talks about his late wife, the sadness of this loss is too deeply rooted in his heart for him to ever decide to give her a successor and stepmother to our little angel. Secondly, because, as far as I know, this girl is not the type of woman that Prince Andrei might like. I don’t think that Prince Andrey would choose her as his wife, and I’ll say frankly: I don’t want this. But I started chatting, I’m finishing my second piece of paper. Farewell, my dear friend; May God keep you under His holy and mighty protection. My dear friend, Mademoiselle Bourienne, kisses you.
