Straight out of Surrey by Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer

[ujustgotpwned2008]

I grew up in Woking, dear chap, and I'm awfully pleased to see that you're representing the Surrey crew. Word to your mother, old boy.

[MrTastyturnip]

Mr B's talent is so outrageously beguiling and fills one with such intense joy, one can almost forgive him for wearing a hat indoors.

[Pr0fessah]

@MrTastyturnip o_O

* takes off hat

[lonelykirsty]

Mr. B, Marry me?

[AranelVetinari]

Mr. B, (or someone else) would you be so kind as to enlighten a non-expert in tea things about what you are enjoying with your Lapsang Souchong? I presume it's some sort of teacake or pastry, if not one individually sized, but I cannot make out quite what you said.

[agdog91]

56 for 7 i might not be the formost expert on cricket but that is a terrible score

[SoshoKittycat]

Aspiring comedic rappers take note: much like this man, you have to actually be capable of rapping in order to rap.

Even if what you're rapping about is cricket. Speaking of which, I am now going to go learn how to play cricket.

[AnnatarYoung]

If you're reading this and you've not heard the NWA version first, close this video and head over and watch it. I assure you this is fifty thousand times funnier (and better, dare I say) if you've seen the original.

[lonelykirsty]

@AnnatarYoung I had never seen the video for the NWA version, i agree this video is 100000 x funnier after watching it

[BradRapstars]

@AnnatarYoung If you're watching this video and you've not heard the NWA version, kill yourself because you're a cultural retard and shouldn't be let anywhere near even this gimmicky bullshit appropriated form of rap.

[AnnatarYoung]

@BradRapstars Haha, sure, there's a great amount of cultural significance to NWA ;D

[BradRapstars]

@AnnatarYoung Actually there is, but I'm not surprised someone who's apparently a fan of this doesn't understand the cultural and sociopolitical context and impact of NWA. Let me guess, normally you don't like rap, but for some reason this type of rap clicks, right?

[AnnatarYoung]

@BradRapstars You'd be correct. You'll have to forgive me if I missed the point behind NWA's rapping through all of the typical "I kill loads of mothafuckas." and "and I don't give a fuck" and "I fucked this bitch" crap that's in the original (and yes, I've heard it) that I hear all too often these days. It's shocking that people look at this kind of stuff as a representation of true cultural and sociopolitical meaning behind alot of decent rap artists. But then both our opinions are bias so...

[BradRapstars]

@AnnatarYoung Both our opinions are biased, but only one is educated. Also congratulations on being unable to read a work in its context.

[AnnatarYoung]

@BradRapstars

Educated? You're arguing with someone via Youtube comments....

[robdogmugabe7]

Words can only fail to describe my love for this fine lyrical escapade.... Long live you, good Sir, and all of your rhyming beats!!!!

[GerrardEnnui]

I can get behind satirical rhyming, it takes some skill and knowledge of meter/cadence/rhythm to write and perform lyrics over music ... but omg what a terrible beat. Someone remix this to some 9th Wonder, haha.

[theorigonalsp4d]

clearly nibbling on elementals style, but not his ginger snaps.

[BeethovenVEVO]

Good Sir, may I inquire as to the existence of a sheet of lyrics for this fine piece of musical poetry?

[MrClaudeBaker]

Can I find these lyrics anywhere? A few of the words have me miffed!

[SoNiicYT]

This is one coming out from the ghettos of Surrey.

[ZZvonSchnerk]

I've just listened to as much as I could bear of "Straight Outta Compton" (about 30 seconds), and it has made me appreciate this masterpiece even more.

[LULTHREAT]

@>mfw you can't appreciate classic hip-hop

[copyvio]

@ZZvonSchnerk

To say you "appreciate" it is a staggeringly ridiculous assertion, and misses the point completely.

You shouldn't even be allowed to listen to this. Go die somewhere.

[ZZvonSchnerk]

@copyvio Okay, firstly I do actually owe an apology. Not only was my original comment unnecessarily agressive, but very badly worded. It probably seemed like I meant I found the original so awful this was even better by comparison. I actually meant that it helped me see the relationship, lyrically and musically, between them. That was, frankly, rather stupid of me. However, given the provocation of your comment was that I don't happen to like a song you do, it makes mine look extremely friendly.

[ZZvonSchnerk]

@copyvio As for missing the point, I know Mr B loves and is paying tribute to the original. I can recognise this without personally liking Straight Outta Compton. However, this has plenty of purpose beyond that - as a piece of music in its own right, a piece of comedy and an example of its own sub-genre. To say I missed the point just because I don't like the original suggests the only point is to act as a tribute to N.W.A's greatness. If you think that, it is you who has missed the point.

[SheikahZeo]

ballin on the motherfuckin Surrey streets.

[TheHusky9]

Lol I live in Surrey :]

[dneirflriGsedaW]

Simply spiffing! :')

[HarryWessex]

@EMPIRE01233 South, how ever you know when you see Middlesex being mentioned ? that was a county now it's all London, Techniquley London is just London City, Greater London is kinda like a ghost county, so South London is Surrey, West is Middle Sex and North is Essex and other countys and south east (Bromley is in Kent.

*Peckham comes under Surrey* (Southwark)

[wailon95]

this is amazing

[HarryWessex]

Funny Fact

Peckham (Famous Run down area of London) is techniquley part of Surrey :L

[SupremoPete]

56 for 7 off 11 overs, pretty bad despite the good run rate lol

[dyfman31]

bloody insane jolly fellow....

[sadieviki]

Will someone post the lyrics.

[PostersNShizPR]

Sick. The new Mr B video is out this Friday!

[sadieviction]

Love this

[lairdycakes]

It's obviously a bowlers wicket

1st innings was only 115ish

[wisteela]

Brilliant.

Great old ghetto blaster too.

[cmwissy]

I'm so happy to be from Surrey right now.

[Brondashi]

This is hands down one of the best uses of the internet ever.

[GeorgeMillerAtkinson]

Possibly the Greatest thing i have ever seen.

[steveng010]

This is a song that makes one proud to be British, I tip my hat to you Mr. B

[XxFabulousxX1]

surrey 2k10 ma endz bruv.

[MrOdsplut]

This video heralds the second coming of Christ. It's that good.

[CherryBomb099]

thumbs up if your from Surrey!!

[thinkfaster]

Mr. B,

As an unofficial but remarkably competent representative of the American city New York, located in the state of New York, I invite you to visit for tea and a recital. I must admit that we are woefully short on crumpets and elderflower jellies, however, we are well stocked with fine teas and Pimm's.

Furthermore, if you have ever attempted to ingest what they call a bagel at King's Cross or similar, I assure you the article we offer is vastly superior.

Cheers,

Thinkfaster

[Froncentrate]

@thinkfaster

Dear Mr. (or Mrs.) Thinkfaster,

It is regrettable that you chose to sample an incarnation of our great British bagels at Kings' Cross St. Pancras, as most people here would opine that station refreshments are shockingly under par. In future, should you require savoury doughnut-style sustenance whilst visiting our fair isle, I humbly suggest visiting Carmelli's on Golders Green Road where you shall discover a most delightful bagel experience.

Sincerely,

Froncentrate

[007hor]

Is he the guy from Collapsed Lung? Y'know? Eat My Goal.

[bilsim]

56 for 7!?!?! Stop rapping and start batting!!

[RobearTheDuck]

Holy crap that was awesome!!!!

[jsizzlestudios]

[WorldScott]

Just saw him on BBC.

-Scott

[leejay2005]

[GuzziHeroV50]

Absolutely spiffing! Jolly good show, chap!

[PhilJamesTaylor]

i find a gap in the outfield, and go and fill it!

[otherfunk]

"Thin it", my man.

[subscooby]

Original by NWA- "you'll probably get mad like a bitch is supposed to"

Mr Bs' version- "You might get rather miffed which of course you're entitled to"

[sarah5574]

absolutely fab,

[1111shipman]

Matched flow is awesome.

'And with her blouse signed she'll leave ecstatic,

OH Mr B, you're so charismatic'

:)

[SenitorAwesome]

love this guy!! but could anybody tell me the name of the song right at the very start? thanks

[matthewstevenhunt]

Straight Outta Compton by NWA.

[SenitorAwesome]

swift tea haha!

[tom8fallon8]

and if anyone doesn't understand this go and listen to nwa - straight outta compton

[tom8fallon8]

haha legend great parody works with the original lyrics well lol

[ashiecaido]

POSH SOUTHERN BASTARDS LOL

[jakeequalsawsomeness]

INBRED NORTHERN FARMERS LOL

[thegeneral10000]

this is the cleverest song parody i've ever seen complete fits with the rhyming scheme and delivery style of straight out of compton. Genius

[dayknowsalchemy]

Count another American opinion: I am in love with this. Want Mr. B to come to the states!!! How many more yanks do you think he'll need as followers to do so?

Hmmm. Also: is it okay if I still hate The Streets?

[sgtrock70]

Sir, firstly I would say it is a prerequisite that you 'still hate the streets'. Well done. Secondly, I shall do my utmost to pop over to the states in the near future to entertain you.

Pip-pip, B

[Spetswolfblack]

@sgtrock70 Than k you sir. You are a god among men.

[Boompass]

@dayknowsalchemy oh yeah and that's going to help our stereotype SO much xD

I'm not sure it would be understood over there unless you knew of Surrey.

[TheOneTrueGirog]

@dayknowsalchemy

I'd like to announce that I'm an American gentleman who enjoys Mr. B's music.

[jonnyfunguy]

@dayknowsalchemy he's brilliant live. Sadly only seen him once. I've so far had to work the days he's performed locally to me so far.

[luzerlinux]

To satisfy the person lamenting the lack of American comments: THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME. Mr. B is my new Hero... of course I like Cricket less than I like Baseball, but, Mr. B is fantastic.

[Hoopybunnie]

Eerily similar to a friend of mine who's name is also Mr B. though his dress sense hails from about a hundred years further back and his moustache is bigger. My guess would be time traveller.

I've seen a future incarnation also, buying cigars in a corner shop in Edinburgh. Spoilers: He keeps his hair but it goes properly silver.

[Radagarst]

i should heartily say not, old boyee

[calrogman]

bitches don't know 'bout my parody

[1337sarcophagus]

what the fuck?

[biggreenjelly]

its a shame no Americans have commented on this. It would be funny to see what they wrote.

[britflik]

What a godawful score

[sgtrock70]

Our national team or this bleeding racket? I return from hols to find we have somehow made it to the semi-finals. Wonders will never cease. New vid up soon anyhoo. Pip-pip! B

[saltybaps]

A rip-roaringly splendid good yarn, Mr B. Much obliged for sharing your illustrious talent with us all.

[Fus3D]

jolly good show!

[Gareth8118]

Looking forward to seeing Mr B tomorrow night at High Tease in Edinburgh. I shall have my eyes closed if any ladies undress, of course.

[melanchronic]

Jolly good tune old chum.

[VashDraven]

This. Is. Win.

[savage177]

Please post translated lyrics in english please.

[sgtrock70]

Not a cricket buff eh? never mind. Shall pop them up after tea. Pip-pip! B

[pickmanfox]

Seconded dear chap, a read of the lyrics would be splendid.

[ultramarinegoat]

Crickey ! Say, I do like this smashing new rythm.

[scissorkicks]

Mr B / Arndales / Dora Brilliant - The Miller, 96 Snowsfields (London Bridge / Borough) SE1, Wed 10th June 2009. Never mind the tube strike!

[paintbrushteeth]

This is amazing, I am going to wear my flat cap for the rest of the night because of this :)

[sgtrock70]

Calm down dear, it'a just Chap-Hop. Funny really, completely independant of each other, yet live a few minutes away from each other.

 Funny how hings work out eh? pip-pip!

[Styepan]

Nice, but why the flat cap indoors? Tut tut!

[sgtrock70]

Sorry, I'd just got in from a stroll along the prom and was suffering from hat-hair.

[Styepan]

Tut tut, not got a fez and smoking jacket for just such an occaision?

Great stuff anyhow.

[munchkinend5003]

i met him at a pub in london he is a total leg!!!

[SirJackington]

he is a total leg?

[Elgso]

Mmmm, ripping good laugh, yes.

[RolexTharsus]

Rather spiffing

[tellyboxinnit]

I do love this.

[mexicojoe766]

Mr B and friends are also playing Barden's Boudoir in Stoke Newington on the 9th April - do pop by!

[Xelig00n]

Awesome

[NixonMcvicar]

Huzzah !!!

[banrab]

Mr B is in the final of the Tuborg Musical Comedy Awards, playing on April 11th at the Pleasance! Bloody brilliant what!

[Rmg12]

This is absolutely brilliant

[bugfactory999]

G'uh... b'ghuhrrk! You have my deep respect and admiration. For frikkin reals.

[RhosynDu]

Absolutely top drawer, sir!

[tonythetyger99]

i always wear my hat at a jaunty angle.

[Quandary121]

Mr B rocks

[KingT1233]

this is absolutely marvellous! chap-hop you don't stop! MORE!!!

[leewithabass]

absolutely top quality. great stuff

[ftgv1]

Did you actually make this song sgtrock70?

[sgtrock70]

I did indeed sir!

[sgtrock70]

Tanks awfully, shame there was no ball involved though. Air cricket, the new rock'n'roll I believe.

[freefrench]

Nice reverse sweep at the end there, Jim.

[TheSolarSteamtrain]

i say, this has to be the most spiffingly wonderful song i have ever heard, very well done my good man

[tomorrowsheadlines]

Jim, you are quality. Nigel  (Kev's mate)

[drseanelius]

"Talk of Murder that's so tawdry, i have a crime record like Charles Hawtrey" ha ha

[drseanelius]

Ha Ha Brilliant! Love it Jim *Ahem* i mean Mr B.

Chaptastic!

Sean the Paper Tiger

[banrab]

God that is so brilliant! I request the amazing Mr B to join the facebook group: Warm-Up for Musical Comedy Website! He is just the kind of chap for it.

[chiefmungomartin]

Awesome! Hip-Hop beats, cricket and British stiff upper lip are three of my favourite things and anyone who can fit Lapsang Souchong in a rap verse is doing well. This gentleman definitely doesn't lead a Macklife.

[tammymary]

classic workings. glad to have caught him live. Bring on what ever happened to timothy!!!!!!!! lol

[cholliday666]

Excellent!

[kookies72]

Gr8 work again by the burkey boy
