Just a few days earlier, the Lord Chancellor had made it aware to King William V of the existence of rap music and its popularity in the world outside of Cotenshire. Feeling an opportunity to boost his personal prestige, William V took it upon himself to appoint a “Court Rapper”.

“What do you think of my decision?” asked the King to Lord Chancellor Arthur Rockingham.

“It is a wonderful idea, my liege. I have never heard rap music, though. Is it like anything that I may have heard?”

“I have never heard it either, Lord Chancellor, but if it is so popular in these other nations, then it would reflect good upon our court to have an appointed Court Rapper. As far as the music itself, I know it has generated some controversy, but it can not possibly be any more reckless than the compositions of the Romantic Era.”

And so the King sent a message to all the countries of the world:

Using his high position, the Lord Chancellor acquired a Rap CD. After listening to it, he understood the controversy quite well. This is the worst…thing…I have ever heard or imagined. I did not know it was possible to curse that much in what is supposed to be a beautiful song. Definitely not fit for the ears of the vulgar, let alone the ears of a King. The Lord Chancellor, however, decided not to tell the King about his discovery. Maybe this is just a particularly bad piece, he thought, we will be able to come up with a better rap musician than this.
