We should send this guy to eurovision, we'd actually win for once
I'm seeing him play In Manchester on Sunday.....I'll suggest it if I get chance to :D
Mike Wright awesome, how was it?
YKS
Nah, the Baltic countries have a pact to vote for each other
Eurovision is a popularity contest. And it's shite anyway
"But your teacher preaches class like you're some bally nincompoop" - oh this has made my year! Brilliant.
This stuff is 12 years old and I'm just barely finding it now??? .... Damn I knew I should have came out from under that rock sooner.
Don't feel bad, bro. 1/5/25... and I JUST found this! 🤣
That was a fantastic banjolele solo.
I had never even heard of a banjolele before I found this chap. Just...unreal!
I've never heard of this gentleman before but I loved him instantly.
Why am I so obsessed with ChapHop? 😂❤
'Oh, no Public Enemy?' or 'Oh no! Public Enemy!'.
If it's option one then do listen from around 3 minutes.
If option two...well, that's your look out old chap!
Pip-pip!
B
Rather spiffing, old Chap!
Thanks
I sir, am an englishman.
Thanks to all for your awfully kind comments.
pip-pip!
B
Good Day!
Brilliant, just Brilliant Mr B!
Mr B. is a genius and I am inordinately fond of him.
i found this by accident.
no regrets
You know, I really am a Professor Elemental fan, but... having heard this, I can't HELP but love your tweed! Lovely to have the pleasure of two such talented performers in our corner!
Rediscovered this today. What a gentleman this rhymer is
Interesting to hear the seamless dynamic between rap and banjo. You sir have done something wonderful here!
hi
This is amazing.
PRINCESS ASLERA I am good. Today is a pretty happy day. :)
PRINCESS ASLERA Thank you. You are so sweet. :)
At this time of national crisis we need you and the Prof. live streaming every day, sir!
Ya ya, it's all rather spiffing, dear boy. One really must mash up the place with one's brethren while listening to my homeboy here dropping the flavour!
How come I just discovered this???! I didn't know I needed this...
Suger Hill Gang - Rapper’s Delight
Run D.M.C - King of Rock
Beastie Boys - (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party)
Public Enemy - She Watch Channel Zero
LL Cool J - Mama Said Knock You Out
+InformantⓋ also My Name Is by Eminem at the very end.
Thank u so much I love this
+InformantⓋ Don't you think bass line Rapper's Delight is quite similar to that of Wham Rap?
+Small Vocaloid and UTAU Promotions
Sure, I can see it. Imitation is the greatest flattery if that's what you're getting at.
+InformantⓋ I'm only 7 YEARS OLD! And i know this!
What a song to discover on my 40th birthday today
I really think you deserve a lot more recognition for what you do. All of your songs are funny, catchy and worthy of many more views than what they have. Well, good 'ay chap.
Saw Mr.B at a festival this summer in Wales, had that crowd jumping!
this is frickin' awesome. i hope more is on the way.
i skeeted in my pants. jolly good ol' chap! come by the rose garden for a perfectly lovely Darjeeling and some crumpets!
Saw this fellow for the first time as opening act to Sparks @ the SEC in Glasgow in May.....and am now obsessed - what a genius!
Splendid in the extreme :)
indubitably
Good show, old chap! Jolly good to hear your performance on the Internets
The on going quarrel between Mr. B and Professor Elemental. Amazing
I'd love to hear a straight-up rap battle between the two of them.
Me too
There's some on UA-cam. The rivalry was always a joke between the two.
There is one: ua-cam.com/video/44SHLmvMyHM/v-deo.html
Enjoy :D
@planetery High praise indeed from one who is unable to spell 'planetary'.
Pip-pip!
This warms my soul and makes it smile.
This is freaking brilliant. There is no part of this that isn't well-planned, beautiful and great to listen to.
Saw you at Nozstock yesterday, twice! So good!!!!
this guy is just too epic.
This made me happier than anything else in the last 6 years. Mad, mad, mad love, Mr. B.
I think this may be the best thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
This exists brought me here as well. I would like to think it would behoove you to come across the pond and share your lyrical talents here! If the Princes can party here in Memphis I believe sir you can too! I shall be looking forward to your arrival. TTFN 😄
surely this is another masterpiece
STUPENDOUS DEAR BOY!!
Definitely one of the best music videos ever.
I love the Bestie Boys bit!
'ello Lewis. They're jolly fun.
It was my great pleasure to hear this live last night!
hey, he finally got those 1 million views
My 5 year old and I freakin loved this video.
Good man, that's the spirit! Bellum, bellum, bellee, bello, bellah, bellah, bellorum, bellis, bellis and all that.
Pip-pip!
B
saw him live last nite, AMAZING
Happy fiftieth birthday, Jim Burke.
No way. The man cannot be that old...
@@cpeterso 4/16/1970. Or maybe 1870. Either way, he's 50.
Just saw him tonight in portsmouth, was the best thing ive seen in years. Definatly something original!
"I'm going to knock you aaahrt"
Classic.
The concept of this as a novelty song is excellent but the video makes it sublime. I can't imagine how it could have been better
I am so sad I have never heard this whole song... Damn you This Exist
OMG, 3 is the magic number! That is fantastic!
I think this might actually be, literally, the best thing ever.
i went to see him live and it was amazing
I was laughing so hard at 0:26 seconds in. Oh my sides hurt so much at the moment. This is so good.
The States need a visit from Mr. B! Come over and share your gentlemanly charm!
I need more Mr. B in my Life!!
I say. I do believe that we have hit 1 million views on chap hop history!
Mr B was the runner up in the 2009 Musical Comedy Awards - entries now open for the 2010 Awards...
what is this its amazing
+Brain Gudino Chap-Hop haha
This is sheer genius!!
I'm disappointed that he didn't cover British rap legend Slick Rick the Entertainer.
Mr B and Professor Elemental are my Heroes.
Just like a Chap.
How jolly spiffing! Love a bit of chap-hop!
300 people held their screen upside-down to like again.
Mr. B OWNS prof elemental - hands down. Love it Mr. B!
being British, this is amazing
na m8.
Being an American Anglophile, tis amazing.
I need to move to England at some point in my life.
Mr. B convinced me to buy a banjolele. Seriously.
I have a number of Ukuleles, but always steered well clear of a banjolele - they're the Antichrist of Ukuleleing, but Mr B is making me consider buying one!
I recommend it. It's actually very inspirational, regardless of chap-hop.
This exists brought me here.
Saw this guy live in Bristol last night - Awesome...
So, where is the rest of the Histories series?
OMG, Epic win!! Thank you AOTS for introducing us to this!!!!
Chap Hop sub genre really needs to make a growth in popularity because it's so much better than the sad excuse for "music" everyone seems to appreciate today
Wrong.
But also a very funny comment to make on a video where he's just outright covering famous conventional pop rap songs.
I have to say as someone who had the pleasure of a live perfomance last saturday at the 10 year anniversary of the Chap, this guy absolutely rocks!
"Let's rock, a-you don't stop"
I love the way he says 'out'.
Hello chapettes and chaps! Can you please tell me where the fabulous bandstand is?
+Belle De Caucase It's on Brighton seafront. If you search for "The World famous pump room, Brighton" on Google Maps and then switch to Streetview you will see it.
I am super excited about your gig this Friday at The Rafters, Maidstone xxx
This guy needs an american tour
Omg people screaming cultural appropriation if he did. Why... idiots
Love it nice mate!
I say, encantardo I'm sure
I don't think my life has been fulfilled until this moment
Stewie Griffin grew up exactly how I imagined him to
seeing Mr B at Edinburgh festival, can't wait!
I may be Australian but I still like to pretend I'm classy enough for chap hop 😂
A Bally great set old Boy! I do appreciate the cut of your jib young feller-me-lad!
I hope that was a stunt wasp at 4:39.
Bee was the magic number!
I want an album like RIGHT NOW!
Brighton used to be a great place, not now
What else can I say for you old chap. this is blood briliant! good show old man.. good show.
this video doesn't have enough views, considering the bullshit that get's over a million views in one day.
Could be, but maybe all the SJW feminists drove them away for fear of getting accused of rape every time they dothed their caps for the ladies.
Omg I can't even escape you assholes pointlessly bitching about ''SJWs'' on a cute video about chaps. Find something better to do, maybe take a walk in the sunshine idk.
***** I was just defending the lack of chaps, and your the one who's bitching. We didn't call each other ass holes. Just watch the video and stay out of it, if it bothers you that much.
Andrew Howe no
Ima SJW and I love it so theyah. aaaah who cares. its fun. blessed be.
what roaringly good music. i dear say i felt my feet moving to the boogity beat. good show old chap.
posh gentleman cat on gifsound brought me here. REDDIT.
Sadly, same here
I bloody love Mr B.
I never knew Tobias Funke could rap.
This. This is everything i have ever wanted.
Is this Bertie from GameChap
No. This respectable fellow actually has class, unlike that converted ruffian who is increasing overobsessed with breasts and meaningless video games.
My dear good chum,
That was a superb feat of musical genius.
Keep up the outstanding work.
i have seen this popinjay flouncing around sussex like he flipping owns it,more front than brighton,i will give him a ruddy good thrashing if he keeps it up
ReddehWow Holy shit, I've never seen someone miss such an obvious joke this completely
xOldSkoolHollywooDx On the contrary, my dear fellow. Don't quote me, not one hundred percent, but you may have misunderstood the chap, missed perhaps the possibility that he was rather more onto the joke than it seemed, and was in fact caught in the act of developing the jape just as if he found it a bemusing attack, that is to say it is to me conceivable he took it literally deliberately, with an admirable perversity of mind.
On the other hand, one or both of them could be unreconstructed. But why should I let that bother me, or concern myself with how they were let down by society, why would I ever deign to get in the way of a good bit of coarsening didactic Argy bargy: whoever needs the snooty!? Of course we all need taking down a peg or two sometimes. No, seriously. Perhaps the fightback starts here!
I've watched this at least 4 times already.
This "21 Savage" fellows early works are rather spiffing
this is easily one of the best songs i have ever heard
