David Cameron: rap head

As David Cameron delivered his speech to Tory conference this week, one unlikely influence stood out above the references to Kitchener, Thatcher and Churchill: old skool hip hop. Dozens of posts on Twitter commented – none too favourably – on Cameron's attempt to rap some of his oratory, and the political commentator John Rentoul identified two "rap" sections of "fast-paced rhythmic declamation" in his textual analysis of the speech. But today a video has emerged on Youtube which suggests that Cameron may have been planning to push the hip hop style even further. Could this be a secret recording of the prime minister rehearsing key sections of the speech? Was Cameron persuaded to tone it down only after anxious Downing St aides intervened? Speculation is rife over the provenance of the recording – Redhead Kingpin & The FBI vs David Cameron and Jurassik: Do the Right Thing – with some political observers noting parallels with Gordon Brown's infamous Step Outside Posh Boy , advertising campaign. More evidence of producer Jurassik's work can be found here .
