The aim of the article is to quantify the use of texts of professional Russian poetry of the XIX-XX centuries in the composition of modern Russian rap compositions, as well as to identify the significance of various precedent poetic texts and mythologized images of their authors for the modern Russian reader. The subject of the study was rap compositions posted in the period from 2013 to 2019 on the Internet referring to the poems of domestic poets. Using statistical, sociological, comparative and comparative methods the author comes to the following main conclusions. There is a permanent increase in the number of rap compositions included in the subject which is interpreted as evidence of the 83 increasing intensity of convergence of subcultural and classical aesthetics. It has been established that modern rap compositions most often include poetic texts created in 1910s-1920s (Silver Age poetry), in 1960s-1970s (Khrushchev Thaw poetry) and in 1820s-1830s (Golden Age poetry). The author explains the particular relevance of the poetry of these periods by both the high artistic level of the recipient works and the similarity of historical and ideological conditions of their creation. The rating of the authors to whose works rap-singers address most frequently has been compiled: the first three positions in it are occupied by S.A. Esenin, I.A. Brodsky, M.Y. Lermontov. It is determined that the poetic text that is quoted most frequently by the rap performers is the poem of I.A. Brodsky "Do not leave the room, do not make a mistake ..." (1970). It is suggested that the frequency of the specific poetic texts in rap songs is caused by both specific features of a particular work (theme, images, rhythmic organization, etc.), and the general tendency of rap performers to rely on stable patterns which should be either adequately re-created or recreated at a higher creative level.
