Alex Ovechkin Is A Rap Star
Not only is Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin a five time all star, and NHL MVP, he also has the talents close to that of Jay-Z. Oh wait…he’s not quite up to those standards yet, but with his latest musical endeavor being released to the public this weekend, he can now check ‘rap star’ off of his bucket list.
The music video for Sasha Belyi’s newest song “Champion” surfaced on YouTube this weekend, and sure enough, starring in it was the high-octane Capitals sniper. Even if you don’t understand Russian (I sure don’t), take a look at it just because it is one of those things you have to see for yourself.
If you don’t want to watch the whole video, you can skip to 2:55 where Ovechkin is introduced into the song (although, he is there the entire time, TRYING to dance).
According to the people at Russian Machine Never Breaks, Ovechkin has been translated to ra the following in his verse of the song:
Alumni of Dynamo
Eight on the back.
In the All-Star game all attention is on me.
On the NatTeam since 17
Scored 100 points in a season
Gold Medal in Canada in ‘08
Among the 10 best players of the decade,
Stick in my hands, rap in my headphones,
Saying hello from Washington
Together with Sanya Belyi
For every champion
