Answer from Vladislav Lensky[guru]
Slim finished Guf's clip - treat people and Guf didn't know anything ...
and for this little thing everything went down ...
and in the end they got into a fight...
and the group broke up

Answer from Asya Pavlova[guru]
-- Guf: "I can no longer record on Tsao records. Before, everything was cool, but now it's just unbearable. It's like something is pressing, I don't open at all. I even recorded my album at another studio. It turned out to be much more work with strangers simpler "... and added that:" It seems to me that the Center group will no longer be in the previous composition, Guf noted. - At the moment, Center is Slim and Ptah.
Apparently, Slim was hooked by Guf's 100 Lines video and he decided to "pour" his accumulated feelings onto Guf's offensive lines (everything is heard from Slim's clip - he points out everything that he does not like in Guf's words). No one knows if what is in this clip is true, no one knows who is right and who is wrong. One thing is clear - more and more rubbish is being taken out of the hut and the participants of the Center are chasing each other more and more. We do not know where the rules are, so far we are only observing ...
Guf quarreled with Ptah and decided to leave the Central Administrative District

Bird: "Guf and I had a big fight. It's a shame: we've been friends for 8 years. Before that, we also quarreled, but not like that. I hope we make up. I would not want the group to fall apart because of this." (c)

Information from Yes! hip hop stars
"In 2007, after the release of the swing album, the group changed its name from Center to CENTR due to the fact that its original name coincided with the name of the famous Soviet-Russian-American group Center by Vasily Shumov, which has existed since the end of 1970- The current name of the group - "CENTR" - contradicts the norms of the English language (the letter "E" is omitted).
Later, a message appeared on the official website of the Center group expressing indignation that, in their opinion, the name of the group had been plagiarized. The group CENTR was accused that the similarity of the names is a ploy, to which they replied that this was a mere coincidence.
In 2008, the group released the song "About Love", in which Ptaha says that diss is not the main thing in rap. This was due to the fact that Drago released the song "In the Center", where he insults Bird. After this song, there were many videos from both sides and a mixfight agreement. In the song “In the Center”, Drago insults not only Ptah, but also the rest of the group, stating that they promote cocaine, and their listeners are drug addicts (“three junkies gather really sickly halls - no wonder: there are a lot of drug addicts in Russia”).

The legendary Russian rap group "Center" again decided to please their fans. Several years have passed after the musicians completed their joint activities and set off on a free voyage. Each of the performers of the Center group began his solo career. In those days, not all fans understood the reasons for the breakup of the group. But today, the "Center" again appears before us in full force.

The history of the founding of the group

Initially, the team had a different name. The biography of the Center group is very eventful. Its creators were Alexei Dolmatov and Roma. In the 2000s, the musicians came up with the name Rolexx. And so it was until 2004. After Alexey and Roma decided to rename the group, and it became known as "Center". Guf (Alexey Dolmatov) and Princip are considered its first creators. The musicians recorded one of their first albums called "Gift". It was an action for the closest and dearest people. The circulation of the albums consisted of only thirty copies. And they all dispersed quickly.

The album "Gift" had a symbolic number of tracks - thirteen. Literally a year later, the musicians perform at a concert. Also at this time, the composition of the Center group is replenished with two new performers. They came from other groups. Bird was in the group "Les Misérables" and Slim was "Smokescreen". But this composition did not last long. Princip left the band due to legal troubles. He received a prison term. This incident put the musicians into a kind of trance, and they suspended their work for a year.

The composition of the group "Center"

The Center group is not just some ordinary group that reads the text to the music. The guys entered the world history of the rap industry. They were able to strengthen their positions in a short period of time and put the tracks about drugs on a high level. The uniqueness of the group lies in the fact that all musicians read about everyday life and their lives, they are not afraid to talk about what they use and what problems follow. The composition of the group changed several times, but all those who took part in it made a very big contribution to the development of the team.

The composition of the group "Center":

• Slim.
• Principle.
• Bird.
• DJ Shved.

Centr is a rap group from Moscow. The first to leave the Princip team for well-known reasons. After that, Guf also left the squad. An interesting fact is that Alexey Dolmatov took the pseudonym Guf after the formation of the team. Prior to that, it was called Rolexx.

Rapid career of the group

After the release of the first album in the new line-up, together with Guf, Ptah and Slim, the group's popularity began to increase. Musicians began to be invited to concerts. The composition "Heat 77" became the soundtrack to the film "Heat", which starred such famous actors as Artur Smolyaninov, Konstantin Kryukov and Timati. Ptah also played a cameo role. According to the film, he is a thief who often turns scams, as well as the husband of the protagonist's girlfriend.

After the release of the first work, the second one for the film "Shadow Boxing-2" followed in a while. famous for being written for Basta's composition "My Game". Not only Guf, but also Basta took part in its creation. Rapid career gave the musicians the opportunity and impetus to create their own label CAO Records. Some performers did not like such a rapid rise of their colleagues on the stage. Conflicts began, especially on the basis of the fact that the name of the group was already the author's. For these reasons, the guys decided to rename the team to CENTR.

"Center" - a group whose biography, reviews and creativity were ambiguous. Many people accepted the new name, but there were those who could not get used to it for a long time. The highlight of the team was that Guf and Ptah have speech defects. This has become their kind of chip in the world of hip-hop. So, Guf burrs and does not pronounce a certain letter, and Ptah lisps.

"Swing" and showdown

After the CAO Records was created, the performers begin to record new tracks. So, in 2008 the album "Swing" was released. He becomes famous from the first days. Its circulation is more than twenty thousand copies. Also included in this album was a track called "About Love". It was marked by the fact that Ptah in it insults a rap artist from Germany. This moment really hooked the opponent, so a corresponding reaction to the insult soon followed.

Further, video works were released on both sides, where both performers are trying to prove their case, while telling not very flattering stories about each other. So, a rapper from Germany spoke about the CENTR group, noting that they promote drugs. But this did not change anything in the life of musicians, they also read and compose texts about their lives, about what can be changed and what cannot.

Solo career

In 2009, one of its founders, Alexei Dolmatov, left the Center group. Everything happens quickly and unexpectedly. By the end of the year, the members are already recording tracks separately. None of the musicians could really explain to their fans why Guf left. There were a lot of assumptions and myths. Only after a while Slim talks about how they just got tired of each other. After all, the schedule of rap artists was very tight, they practically did not rest. And all this greatly affects the relationship in the team.

Guf took up a solo career and released his second album called "At Home". The composition of Army Group Center remained only with Slim and Ptah. They toured together and completed the single "About Love". It is noteworthy that the musicians signed a contract with the label and had to shoot a video for the song "Is It Easy to Be Young". The video was still filmed, only all three performers were filmed in different places and at different times. Slim and Bird no longer crossed paths with Guf.

Alexey Dolmatov: life and work

Alexei began rapping at the age of 19. He lived with his grandmother in Moscow and decided to create a group. Before he took the pseudonym Guf, a lot of time passed. In Moscow, Alexei was originally famous under the name Rolexx. His first composition called "Chinese Wall" was created in collaboration with rapper aka Marlin. After the world was able to see the talented musician, Guf began to take off. The creation of the Center group took place in the 2000s, at the same time Alex met his future wife.

The love story began with a nightclub where they first met. Beloved Guf was called Aiza. She was the daughter of an FSB general. Everything spun very quickly, and the young played a wedding. Then came the birth of a child. But apparently, the stars were not on their side, and the couple soon broke up. Isa married a surfer. In 2013, Alexey is experiencing a personal tragedy - the loss of his grandmother. She dies of a heart attack.

Group "Center": composition after the return

In 2015, the Center group decides to reunite. Their first album is released under the name "System" literally next year. The impetus for this was precisely Ptah, who decided that the time had come for a reunion. After Guf left the group, the guys did not keep in touch for about five years. Each pursued their own solo careers, but as Slim put it, The Center gave them a lot, and therefore it is worth trying again.

To date, the full line-up of the rap group Centr, together with A'STUDIO, is recording a new single "Far". We are already working on the video. Soon fans will be able to see new and fresh creative ideas of the musicians.

ABOUT THE GROUP:

Probably not. It's time to turn around.

We didn't invent anything. Just wrote and wrote - Guf

Everything went by itself. We worked on it for a very long time: we started about two years ago. We recorded several tracks, then there was a pause. But the main tracks were born in just 7 months - Slim.

It seems to me that I wrote it in two months, - Guf figured

It's just you for two months. - laughs. Slim

Lesh, something you lost 5 months somewhere.

I - yes. I always lose somewhere 5 years, 5 months.
Judging by your words, the album was given to you very hard?

You don't even know how - Guf

You have repeatedly said that the album "System" is somehow special. How?

These are other thoughts. 5 years later. We didn't want to sound like 2007 against the backdrop of modern music. Therefore, naturally, the fresher sound, lyrics, technique have changed. There are some new chips, - said Slim

There, the music is different, the reading has changed, and the style is completely different, - added Ptakha

How do you think the audience accepted this album? Did they like your innovations?

Of course, new material is always difficult for listeners to assimilate. Yesterday we had our first performance with the new album in St. Petersburg. Judging by this concert, the album went. There were a lot of shortcomings at the concert, because we never rehearse with the whole group. But today we will try to eliminate them, - Guf.

I am told that we are reading about the same thing. I just don't understand, who has said something new in the last 20 years in rap? We live in Russia, where nothing has changed dramatically during this time, - Slim

You have to motivate with your tracks! And you don’t motivate something at all, - Ptakha laughs.

Well, I'll take into account, - Slim took note.
Many fans believe that in fact the reason for the breakup is another conflict between you. This is true?

Yes, it's not just that. Everyone has their own creative vision. Each of us is an accomplished creative person. It's hard to record joint tracks - Slim

That is, the vision of common tracks is now different for you?

In general, a lot of things have changed during this time. We see almost everything differently. In principle, Centr has always been like this. We just decided to collect the dough, - Ptakha laughs.

And how did you collect it?

They collected it, but more could have been done, - the guys admitted laughing in one voice. - For the sake of money, we could travel around our vast homeland for a long time. But we are not like that.

Now the guys will continue to perform with the presentation of the new album "System" in other cities, but these will be their last performances as part of the Centr group. Now they continue to actively work on solo projects. According to the guys, around September of this year, Ptakha and Guf will release an album, and a little later, taking into account the mistakes of their colleagues, Slim will also please with his solo album. Who knows, maybe we will witness their next high-profile comeback.
