Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer

/wiki/Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymercreator

Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer (real name Jim Burke) is a parodist who is one of the pioneers of Chap-HopHip Hop delivered in Received Pronunciation. Mr. B raps, or "rhymes", about high society, pipe smoking and Cricket while playing the banjolele. His appearance is that of a dapper chap from the 1920's, complete with period mustache and pipe. He has become quite popular in the Steampunk community with his parody of N.W.A.'s "Straight outta Compton" called "Straight Out Of Surrey."

He is currently[when?] in a Rap Feud with fellow Chap-Hop artist Professor Elemental.

Not to be confused with Mr. B Natural.


Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer provides examples of the following tropes:

Like Terry-Thomas on a balcony milady
Keep living life like it's the eighteen eighties
A chap out of time but rising to the top
Music hall MC will just not stop

Whatever happened to Timothy?
I was at prep with him, you see.
He was a wizard with a cricket bat,
But he never used to talk like that.
