Hockey Star Alex Ovechkin Features in Russian Rap Song, Champion

In Canada (and dare I say, North America), Alex Ovechkin is known as a Russian hockey stud. Winner of back to back MVP awards in the NHL, scoring ridiculous, ridiculous goals, and laying down heavy hits, he can do it all (note: except win the Stanley Cup). Warning: horrible segue alert: The latest thing that he is laying down is heavy raps (told you it was bad!). Alex Ovechkin shows up in the video from Russian rapper Sasha Belyi’s Champion song (via Puck Daddy).

So, does Alex the Great rap about slinging rocks and hanging with bitches? Er, not quite. Via Russian Machine Never Breaks, we have a translation of his rap verse, JUST in case you don’t speak Russia.

Alumni of Dynamo
8 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 ten best players of the decade,
Stick in my hands, Rap in my headphones,
Saying hello from Washington,
Together with Sanya Belyi,
For every champion

[And then a bizarre sound that sounds like the English words “Look out!”]

Give the video a watch below. Alex chimes in around 2:55.
