Chap hop
is music originating from England that mixes the
hip hop
genre with elements from the
Chappist
or
steampunk
subcultures and stereotypical English obsessions such as cricket, tea, and the weather.
[1]
Two leading exponents of the genre are
Professor Elemental
and
Mr.B The Gentleman Rhymer
.

In March 2013, UK Education Secretary
Michael Gove
said he was a fan of the genre. Mr. B noted the irony of this, since his music often pokes at members of the establishment, commenting: "As a non-
Etonian
and thus an outcast within the cabinet, this is perhaps a little snook cocked at his colleagues."
