Speak the Hungarian Rapper

If you don't know what I'm talking about:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Speak (born May 31, 1976[2]) is a rap artist based in Hungary. He gained considerable fame when the video for his 2003 anti-war song, Sometimes[3], became popularized through video sharing websites, propelling him from local celebrity to internet sensation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Viral Video

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Due to the fact that the video is rife with broken English and misused rap catch phrases, it eventually found a global audience on the internet as a viral video, after being passed around as a joke in some sections of Eastern Europe especially among English speakers. Although the song was intended to be serious, its subject matter and presentation is unintentionally humorous for native English speakers. Shortly after being posted on Youtube, it was also submitted to and made the front page of the video section on Digg[12], exposing it to a considerably large audience. It currently has over 250,000 views on Youtube [13].

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The video is an example of an emergent Meme, and some of Speak's unintentionally humorous phrases, including "G, come on", "stop the war, life is shore", and "buisness" have entered internet culture as part of the video's memeplex.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Comments on message boards regarding Speak's single Sometimes often deal with the characteristics of the backup singers that sing the chorus in the video. Their vocal styles and looks are very unique. The first backup singer (TakÃÆÃâÃâács TamÃÆÃâÃâás) is dressed in a California surfer style, and his voice has been likened to that of Neil Diamond. The second in appearance is a shorter darker-skinned man (Bebe) with a raspy voice. The third singer (Nal C) is a tall, lanky pale man, with odd [bleep]y hair. His complexion has been described by some as vampire-like in appearance. The final singer (Varga MiklÃÆÃâÃâós) appears to be in the intermediate stages of balding and was in his late forties during filming, leading some to note that he appears completely out of place in the context of the video.
