A Hitherto Unsuspected Species of Musicality

Chap hop. It has the rhythms of hip hop, with the gentility of Edwardian parlours and smoking rooms, seersucker jackets, pipes, and banjoleles.

(If the only thing that amuses you about the above videobit is the cricket equipment, and you're eager to understad more, you may wish to watch the following, though I can warn you of very unpleasant language and a 'gangsta' worldview some may find . . . also unpleasant. From N.W.A., STraight Outta Compton.)
