Big up to "Foreign Policy's" Passport for bringing this to our attention: Putin attending a rap battle.
Putin looks pretty uncomfortable, but at least manages a bit of awkward clapping.
Respect.

About This Blog
Written by RFE/RL editors and correspondents, Transmission serves up news, comment, and the odd silly dictator story. While our primary concern is with foreign policy, Transmission is also a place for the ideas -- some serious, some irreverent -- that bubble up from our bureaus. The name recognizes RFE/RL's role as a surrogate broadcaster to places without free media. You can write us at transmission+rferl.org
