I DON'T LIKE YOUR TWEED, SIR

Instead of posting a playlist this Friday, I'm going to introduce you guys to chap hop.

Chap hop: English dudes dress up like foppish upper crust, turn-of-the-century cricket players and rap about it.

The true genius of it (as James and I have discussed at LENGTH) is that it's a weird intersection of African American musical expression and the British colonization of Africa.

It all started with this one guy, Professor Elemental.



And then he was challenged by Mr. B, the Gentleman Rhymer.



And then Professor Elemental (who has the obviously better flow) escalated it into an all-out gentlemanly battle of beats.



I'm just waiting for for a track by Bernie Wooster feat. Jeeves. Can someone please, please get on that post-haste?

Happy week-end! (Pretend I said that all British style, week END). Next week I have something exciting planned: our very first giveaway by our very first sponsor! So stay tuned...
