Chap hop made its debut in 2007 as the invention of rap musician Jim Burke (aka Mr B Gentleman Rhymer). The expression chap hop derives from a combination of hip hop, the term for the African-American urban musical genre, and chappism, a nostalgic subculture founded by Gustav Temple in the late 1990s which celebrates British masculinity in a previous era. Chappist concepts such as dressing with panache (think tailored suits with sharply pressed trousers), behaving courteously, pipe-smoking and drinking fine beverages are advocated through The Chap, the movement’s bi-monthly magazine and related books.
