When Rap Meets Tea
It is not often that you get the words rap and tea in the same sentence. For some reason, at least in the U.S., the rap world and the tea-loving world seem to be pretty separate.
Not any more, thanks to Elemental, a hilarious D.J. and M.C. from — where else? — the U.K. Dressed in a safari outfit, Elemental raps elegantly (and cleanly) about his love for tea in “Cup of Brown Joy.” How can you not love a song with lyrics like:
If you’re tired of tea then you’re tired of life
Hah! I’m madder than a hatter and it fires my mic
Liken to me to earl grey Assam or ginger
Lapsing suchong raise my pinkie finger
Die hard herbal drinkers beware, Elemental makes his views perfectly clear:
When I say Earl Grey, you say “Yes, please!”
When I say herbal, you say “No, thanks!”
The video below is a great way to perk up your morning — Enjoy it with a cup of tea!
(Note, there is no profanity in the video, but a few words that are considered somewhat rude in the UK.)
