Thread: Тимати - Лучший Друг

A word of advice, don't take anything even remotely related to Timati seriously. As Alex80 said he's a very controversial figure, up to the point of being a bafoon (for lack of a better word that's not gonna be censored).

Here are a couple interesting videos. These are two versions of more or less the same song. The first is Рекорд Оркестр - Лада седан and the second is
same song as a collaboration between Record Orchestra and Timati. I prefer the first, but the first video has 5 million views whereas the second has 37 million views. It appears that while Record Orchestra is popular, that Timati is extremely popular.

I didn't even know "Record Orchestra" until this (first) viral video.
It's viral video. This song "Лада седан, баклажан" is humorous, sarcastic and fun. It makes fun of stereotypes about russian automobile industry on the one side and "caucasus nations" habits from the other side.
Timati made it completely wrong... I don't even... Such a mess... Why his version doesn't contain main ideas of original? Why is it serious?? I cannot understand why his version has more views. Maybe because of his name is well-known and because he put all 3 words in title of video "Лада седан баклажан" - it's complete catch-phrase of first video, which is labelled only by 2 first words.
I am shocked.
