@lameexcuse I appreciate and take on board your comments sir/madam, but point out that there must be some 'hop' in Chap-Hop abd I do only wear adidas superstars, which are the oxford of hip-hop. Rest assured that, on the correct occasion the Grenson Freds are duly 'rocked' Pip-pip! B
Inner City has never been done more proud. I doubt most people seeing this are even remotely aware of it's true brilliance. As one who danced at raves back in the day and followed the electronic music scene for years, I doubt I've ever seen a better homage. A reference to Chris Paul/Isotonik would've been icing on the cake. Thanks!
I still remembering seeing you perform at the black dove in Brighton and the PA system crash during orbital section and getting the crowd to do the backing for you.
I will say, after some thought (and, indeed drunken musings) that Mister B's delivery of these folk songs is rather crisp, somewhat like a cup of fine Oolong in the early morning.
I must say, my good sir, that despite gloom weather we're going through at the moment at my current location, my day is now absolutely enlightened with the jolliness of your distinguished music. I tip my hat to you, sir. Good show.
I found Mr. B through Professor Elemental's dis-song "Fighting Trousers." I see why Elemental feels threatened, because B is the superior gentleman rhymer.
i have to disagree my fine chap, Mr B is certainly talented, but the sheer volume of high quality work and story telling in Elemental's Discography trumps B.
Triodium I will say that the past decade has shown many things. The breadth of Professor Elemental's talent included. I no longer claim a side in this debate.
I won't pretend to be a fan, as I'm not really into most of his stuff, but this, as a whole is by far one of the best renditions of classics I've heard in so long. All the best and keep doing what you do, despite anything, anyone says.
Dear sir; First, excellent work! Second, Have you considered including a brief list of the sources of this medley? As a newcomer to the rave scene, I am unfamiliar with many of the songs, but the ones I could locate, I enjoyed comparing the original with your interpretation. Your accuracy and musicianship remains exemplary in this comparison, and thus, I think such a resource would be useful. Cordially; E. Mark Mitchell
Better late than never, so: The Shamen - Move Any Mountain Reel 2 Reel - I Like To Move It Inner City - Good Life Orbital - Chime SL2 - On A Ragga Tip The Prodigy - Out Of Space
This amazing acid chapstep rave music, nicely done. Love the video as well, good job chap this is awesomesauce! :D Also i love the way you put together this video its really beautiful, also the smiley face with the mustache is such a brilliant design :)
My dear, dear man, I will never be able to hear Chime again without the beautiful twangs of the Banjolele reverberating around my Skull. Spellbounding in its genius. Pip pip and et cetera :)
Bally triumph sir. I look forward to your forthcoming acetate pressing. Will it be available for cylindrical phonographs or just these new fangled versions?
Please Mr B, please do a full version of 'chime' with the banjo-lele. It was quite magnificent. I would be willing to pay upto four pounds for the pleasure of owning such a song. Kind Regards
Many thanks, Mr. Degnen! In particular, "On A Ragga Tip" I would never have gotten on my own. You are a gentleman and a scholar, if this is any indication of your general demeanor.
I'll take your brain to another dimension... I'll take your brain to another dimension... I'll take your brain to another dimension... *Pay close attention*
A thought - Mr B should be our next Eurovision entry. Apart from the fact he is possibly the only one who could make Eurovision watchable, he would be by far the most British entrant ever. Not to mention our best chance of actually winning.
LMGDAO! I have everyone of those tunes in various versions on various singles AND albums as well as a mountain of pure ace dance music........however as soon as I'm on the razzle dazzle I STILL have to listen to this at least once 'cos it's f@cking EPIC!
![The Dead South - In Hell I'll Be In Good Company [Official Music Video]](/img/n.gif)
Returning years later, love this as much as ever, and more. Pure joyfulness! Thank you Mr B!
The tea cup ping was the work of a mad genius!
where has this been all my life.

My childhood is back in my hands.
Im not disappointed.
Inner City has never been done more proud. I doubt most people seeing this are even remotely aware of it's true brilliance.

This was so well done.
Maximal nostalgia achieved, and by such talented means.
please make a sequel, so many great old skool tunes to banjo-ify!
~Z~

I had the privilege to see Mr B, at Glas-Denbury. What a delight. Yours was by far the best banjolele music of the weekend. I salute you sir.
man i love how music can be so many things all at once yet still original.
Splendid, most splendid indeed. Tip top sir.
4:07 this is one of the best things I've ever witnessed on the whole internet
p.s why it's not on Spotify? :(
agree - funny as. its great
I FECKING love this!!! Chap hop meets techno!!!
Brilliant........
saw this chap in Brighton the other day was to nervous to ask for a photo...... kicking myself now!
You should have! I have had a few photos with him, he's a really nice guy, always happy to have photos.
This is one of the greatest things ever. Thanks Mr B. Love you 😘
Is he referencing Orbital with the Bald Gents from Kent?
Delightful, and jolly nostalgic too.
I simply, utterly, categorically adore this. I can't express how much this tickles me! LOVE.
Oh I do love this... What a charming chap! :)
Mr B appeared at my friends wedding party a few years ago.
Most agreeable.
I must say, my good sir, that despite gloom weather we're going through at the moment at my current location, my day is now absolutely enlightened with the jolliness of your distinguished music. I tip my hat to you, sir. Good show.
Well said, sir, only recently discovered this artist, I have a handlebar moustache.
I never tire of listening to this.
I found Mr. B through Professor Elemental's dis-song "Fighting Trousers."
I see why Elemental feels threatened, because B is the superior gentleman rhymer.
Dear sir, I wish to complain in the strongest possible terms about the comment you've posted. Sincerely Brigadier Arthur Gormanstrop (Mrs.).
i have to disagree my fine chap, Mr B is certainly talented, but the sheer volume of high quality work and story telling in Elemental's Discography trumps B.

@@MichaelWacht oh jeez, i am honestly dumbfounded you reponded, that is a reasonable position to take and i almost landed on the same one myself
@@Amphibian42 good god, 9 years in the waiting. makes us all feel aged doesn't it?
Easily one of the silliest, and most brilliant things I've ever seen. Good show, old bean.
Absolutely spiffing videorama chaps. Had my foot tapping more than once I can tell you. Good show!!
This deserves way more than 245k views. Fantastic!
If there was a love it button, i'd hit that. This was genius.
My memory has been sufficiently been jogged to remember who this chap reminds me of:
Doc holliday, portrayed by Val Kilmer
I was thinking Johnny Depp, but I certainly see the resemblance you mention.
Physicallysick, physically sick, physicallypysically.....genius.
This man is a gentleman genius. I've already bought both albums.
I can't stop listening to this! See you in Reading, good sir
Ingenious Sir.
If I had a time machine I would travel back to 1950 and use this video to slowly break people into rave music.
Absolutely spiffing marvelous, old chap. You take the Ukulele and Banjolele most definitely to another dimension. Magnificant!!
"And when I'm doing what I'm doing I'll be doing what you what me to do!"
Dramatically ambiguous I know, but we were on a lot of drugs.
I say, what a splendid composition this is, rather top-notch. You've outdone yourself old boy, keep it up!
this should have millions of views.....
Absolutely spiffing, one would love to spend an evening drinking tea with some musical entertainment from this gentleman rhymer.
I saw Mr B last night. And this was one of the highlights of the show. Very clever. Very funny. Great show.
all this years later , im glad i found about mr .B
10 years ago I watched this and was overcome by nostalgia. Came back to it today and... metanostalgia is that you?
brilliant. the chime section is a visual treat
I won't pretend to be a fan, as I'm not really into most of his stuff, but this, as a whole is by far one of the best renditions of classics I've heard in so long. All the best and keep doing what you do, despite anything, anyone says.
Lol, why do you assume people say negative things. :P
ron sae Because this is the internet, the land where you can start a fight just by liking a video game console.
I synced this on both of my monitors fullscreen for twice the awesome.
It was really awesome.
LEGEND! You got my kudos for covering the Shamen Move any mountain :D
I have watched chaphop history many times. Why hasn't UA-cam recommended this before?
Genius! That's put a huge smile on my face, nice one :)
Absolutely fantastic old chap, as always.

Mr. B carries an unusually high level of "badass" throughout this whole thing. I found it quite enjoyable, and a very addictive mix.

Always love this guy's music found him old school, love the choice of more famous music for the selection, however still amazing!!!
This is just super amazing - well done!
Bally triumph sir. I look forward to your forthcoming acetate pressing. Will it be available for cylindrical phonographs or just these new fangled versions?
Please Mr B, please do a full version of 'chime' with the banjo-lele. It was quite magnificent. I would be willing to pay upto four pounds for the pleasure of owning such a song.

OMG I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS FOR YEARS
Nuff respect !!! Back to the oldskool !!!!!
Fabulous!
Excellent work in the four string element sir!

Brilliant!
Professor Elemental or Mr. B? I like both of you :)
that banjo-type thing he plays sounds so unbelievably good
It's called a "banjolele"
indeed
Many thanks, Mr. Degnen! In particular, "On A Ragga Tip" I would never have gotten on my own. You are a gentleman and a scholar, if this is any indication of your general demeanor.
Just saw this guy perform a one hour show live in a pub at the Edinburgh Festival. Absolutely hilarious - brilliant live.
Awesome, old boy!
Your very good at what you do.
Love it! Bloody brilliant!
Brava bravissimo old chap, keep up the good work!
I'll take your brain to another dimension...
I'll take your brain to another dimension...

*Pay close attention*
In Chap-Hop History, we find out that some of us were NOT paying attention. Belt up at the back!
I tried to click on read more but it said pay closer attention. .-.
A rap song that follows the rythm and no obscenities. This is tallent.
Thoroughly Enjoyable Tedley
Why is the Edward mask not in your shoppe good sir?
top stuff, and delightful to hear - and meet - in person. Old school done rather properly.
Brilliant!

Always been a fan of the Gentleman Rhymer...but with this one, Mr B has taken his lyrical/musical stylings to another level. First rate work sir!
