* ArchEnemy: Was in a feud (of sorts) with fellow chap-hop artist Music/ProfessorElemental, which gained them both [[http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-music-videos-that-justify-existence-internet_p2/ international recognition]]. They have since guest-starred in each other's videos, peformed live together and recorded "The Duel" together for Elemental's latest album "Father Of Invention", which begins as a [[BattleRapping Rap Battle]] and ends with them praising each other.

* {{Nerdcore}}: "Chap hop" is a variant of this. Basically, imagine rap music about safe things that white people like were even safer and whiter.

Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer (real name Jim Burke) is a parodist who is one of the pioneers of Chap Hop — HipHop delivered in a Received Pronunciation accent. Mr. B raps, or "rhymes", about high society, pipe smoking and UsefulNotes/{{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 Music/{{NWA}}'s ''Music/StraightOuttaCompton'' called "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj7J7vXCf5w Straight Out Of Surrey]]."

* BreakupBreakout: Mr B (under his real name of Jim Burke) is the rapper for OneHitWonder Music/BritPop band Music/CollapsedLung who had one huge hit with "Eat My Goal" before going on hiatus for several years. Mr B carved out a niche in the nascent Chap-Hop genre to considerable success while the band was on hold. Recently the band reformed for performances in TheNewTens. It's pretty jarring for fans who know Burke under his Mr B persona to see him wearing a tracksuit and rapping in a working class accent about football, especially as he has to keep his dapper moustache intact for performances under his main Mr B persona and wears the same glasses.
