Having spent the best part of a decade bringing some manners back to popular culture, this dopest of fellows endeavours to entertain and amuse, with his ingenious stylings.
Aiming to dazzle with dignity, Mr.B takes to the stage with his banjolele and stiff upper lip to perform ditties of pipe-smoking, high society, cricket and sexual misadventure, as well as some more well-known pieces from the world of hip-hop, re-worked in chap-hop fashion.

baby lets get it on
because it times been wasted
sittin in the park hopin that you not taken
but still thinkin I can have you when I want you
remember that day when I first hugged and kissed you
met you at the barbecue wit tha thick ol' thighs
pretty long hair wit your almond brown suga eyes
got me hypnotized
startin somethin sweet

proceed through the streets as we straight up coastin wit tha sun roof down
baby stay close and never leave my presence and lets keep it true

The song "Curtsey for Me" by Mr. B The Gentleman Rhymer is a satirical take on the concept of entitled and chauvinistic masculinity in the upper classes during the Victorian era. The lyrics of the song present a scene where Mr. B expresses his expectation for a woman to curtsey to him as an act of submission and denotes his supposed superiority. Mr. B also claims to be a "Gentleman Rhymer" which was a term used to describe performers who would rap or make music with a mix of pop culture references and upper-class British accents.
The opening lines of the chorus, where Mr. B instructs the listeners to "curtsey for me", highlights the arrogance and entitlement of the character he is portraying, and his desire to be seen as above others. He continues to describe his expensive “trinkets” and desire for the finer things in life. This is further emphasized in the lyrics 'Got a valet, butler, even a groom, making sure my needs are all assumed/ Never do dishes, never make the bed/ When I go out, I'm always well fed'.
The song also pokes fun at the cultural and social norms of the Victorian era. This is evident in the line 'Medical science, chloroform, and ether, everything else can go to the wrecker'. This implies that the Victorian era was filled with significant advances and scientific innovations, but Mr. B prioritizes his own personal gains and pleasure over such advancements.
