Alexander Timartsev

In 2013, a battle platform was founded, which initially differed little from similar Internet shows. The founder is Alexander Timartsev. The name of the rap artist and host of Versus Battle became widely known in 2017. In terms of the number of views, the fight, which took place in August, broke the world record in the history of battles.

There are many blank spots in Timartsev's biography, which gives rise to myths. The rap artist's hometown is called Murmansk, while the Restaurateur was born in the Northern capital. According to Timartsev's confession, he studied poorly. After leaving school, he entered the technical school. In 2008, Alexander was drafted into the army.

The pseudonym of the famous figure in the Russian rap battle is the Restaurateur. Alexandra is often asked about the origin of the nickname. Does not give unequivocal answers. It is possible that Timartsev worked in the bar "1703" - the place where battles are held today. However, the Restaurateur himself did not confirm this version. Once he uttered a polysemantic phrase:

As usual, he spiced up the mysterious remark with foul language.

Served Timartsev in Murmansk. This is probably where the nickname "Tim 5-1" comes from. The numbers are the number of the region of the region where the military service took place. Tracks that Timartsev recorded under this nickname: "Black and White", "Past", "Not Important", "Make a Choice", "White Stripes".

In childhood and adolescence, Alexander listened to foreign music. Now he prefers Russian, because he does not speak English well and does not understand the meaning of the songs. Today the main thing for a Restaurateur is rhyme and content.

Returning to St. Petersburg, Timartsev struck up an acquaintance with several performers, entered the rapper party. Once I got into a freestyle battle. It was a project called Huyax. Timartsev took part. The first fight inspired further writing of lyrics for rap battles. Timartsev would later say about this experience:

Alexander decided in a creative direction, however, participation in verbal battles did not bring money. I had to get a job in a digital technology store. At first he worked as a salesman. By the time Versus Battle came along, he was director.

Another version of the origin of the pseudonym: when choosing a place for the next verbal duel, Timartsev suggested an inconspicuous little-visited bar. Like-minded people gave Timartsev, not without irony, the nickname "Restaurateur". And he later glorified the institution located on Ligovsky Prospect. Today in "1703" the hall is full both in the afternoon and in the evening.

Having become famous thanks to the Internet show, the rap artist recorded an album. But this, according to Timartsev, is not a serious hobby. Alexander considers the recorded tracks to be specific and does not recommend listening. The album, released in 2016, is called “5 bottles of vodka”.

This name did not arise by chance. The author once said: Good thoughts come in a state of intoxication. Alcohol and its influence on the state of mind is the main theme of Timartsev's albums. In addition, Alexander is a fan of Oksana Baskova's work. The title of the album is an allusion to one of the director's films.

The restaurateur emphasizes that when creating the tracks, he did not seek to demonstrate rhythm or technique. There is neither the first nor the second in his work. Timartsev recorded the tracks for himself, he listens mostly drunk. The unwillingness to promote the album is also confirmed by the page on Instagram, where there are no advertising publications. Only photos with friends, battle participants and musicians.

In VK, information about the album appeared back in January 2016. However, Timartsev asked subscribers not to repost. Few complied with the request. On battles Timartsev prefers beer to vodka. He watches the verbal skirmish of rappers with an invariable plastic glass in his hands.

Alexander has not changed his hairstyle since the army times. His image is strict and impressive (height 195 cm). In alcoholic intoxication, Timartsev can be different: both cheerful and aggressive. A lot of views were collected by the video of the defeat of "1703", in which the Restaurateur was directly involved. However, this is an isolated case. During the interview, Timartsev creates the impression of an open and direct person.

Versus Battle is published twice a week. Timartsev can be safely called “YouTube shark”. By the end of 2017, more than 3 million people had subscribed to the channel. When choosing a name for the battle site, another name was considered - "Opposite". Initially, Alexander invited only well-known performers. Later, the format of the internet show changed. Beginning rappers also got an opportunity to take part in verbal fights.

In 2017, a video was released with the participation of Purulent and Oxxxymiron. In just one day, the video was watched by 9 million users. Since then, the question of earnings has become a frequent question to the Restaurateur. Ilya Stogov asked Alexander during an interview:

Alexander answered positively. Talking about channel monetization, he said with a smile:

In 2016, the restaurateur received a call from TV people with an offer of cooperation. The conversation came to nothing. Later Timartsev said that the Versus Battle project and television are incompatible. During verbal fights, rappers use foul language. The Restaurateur himself begins the battle with a corporate phrase, which only once he had to change to "Let's make a noise, damn it!" If the participants speak exclusively in the literary language, the battleground will lose its specificity.

Timartsev is married. The family has two children.

To the question of Yuri Dud about how his wife reacts to the activities of the battle organizer, Alexander answered with his characteristic spontaneity:

The presence of abuse in the texts of participants in battles does not mean a complete absence of censorship. Timartsev does not accept political disputes and nationalist judgments. Quote of the Restaurateur:

Timartsev's popularity is growing. Television people are interviewing. In 2017, the Restaurateur attended the Evening Urgant program.

He acted in his usual role - the role of the leader. A verbal duel took place between Ivan Urgant and Cord. In an interview, the restaurateur called rap battle a new form of poetry. The texts of the Versus participants, Alexander believes, will be included in the school curriculum in 20-30 years.
