Royal Wedding rap: MC NxtGen’s tribute to Kate and Wills
The man behind the now famous “Andrew Lansley rap” sets his rhyming talents upon the Royal Wedding with a track recorded and written exclusively for Channel 4 News.
Forget the coronation anthem and Psalm 122, MC NxtGen has penned a Royal Wedding anthem for modern Britain, exclusively for Channel 4 News.
While Westminster Abbey will echo with “Guide me, O thou great redeemer”, the alternative wedding party will be alive with lyrics such as “Wills had skills when it came to girls” and “Haaa you was just a young teen, when you met Kate you dreamed that she would be your queen”.
Twenty-two-year-old MC NxtGen, from Loughborough, shot to fame with his Andrew Lansley rap, a detailed dressing down of the health secretary’s NHS reforms referring at length to PCTs and the new GP consortia in a blunt tirade against the minister.
Not your usual urban themes of cars, guns and girls, the burning issues in the lyrics hit a popular nerve and the video went viral via YouTube, Twitter and Facebook.
The musician, whose real name is Sean Donnelly, has now turned his lyrical skills to the wedding of the century with this “alternative best man’s speech”. The words in all their regal glory are below.

MC NextGen’s Royal Wedding rap – lyrics in full:
[Verse 1]
…On November the 16th 2010, the future king announced his engagement,
To Kate Middleton, what a gentleman, to give his future wife the wedding ring from his mum,
They was away in Kenya with their mates, took her up in a chopper and then down to a lake,
And that was the day, when he was brave, and asked Kate who’s 28 to stay together till their dying day,
When he first saw Kate walking the run way…
He was like…. yo Harry I’m on dat,
I’m gonna fight for her love like combat,
Back in the day his nickname was Wombat,
I dont wanna make you feel awquard but is it true you had a crush on Cindy Crawford?
Haaa you was just a young teen, when you met Kate you dreamed that she would be your queen….
[Chorus]
CONGRATULATIONS TO KATE MIDDLETON, …OR SHOULD I SAY WINDSOR
CONGRATULATIONS TO PRINCE WILLIAM, ..EVERYBODY NOW CHEER OUT LOUD,
CONGRATULATIONS TO KATE MIDDLETON, GLAD HE DIDNT CHOOSE THAT BRITNEY MINGER,
CONGRATULATIONS TO PRINCE WILLIAM, …YOUR MOTHER WOULD OF BEEN PROUD
[Verse 2]
Wills had skills when it came to girls, Action Man rescue pilot saving the world,
But Wombat I’m not feeling that job, I thought you looked better at cleaning bogs,
When you asked me, to be your best man me said gladly so I did it in a rap see, blud you’re getting married
New step in life you should be happy, not like the nation when Harry dressed as a Nazi.
Say Wills ain’t street? Move off, MC Wombat’s been chatting to Snoop Dogg,
You better listen up crystal clear, my man stood up Britney Spears,
Kate will make sure he don’t step out of line, or she’ll hit him with a golf club for a second time,
You could spend forever in time and not find a better wife…
reminds me of your mum, remembered for life.
[Chorus]
CONGRATULATIONS TO KATE MIDDLETON, …OR SHOULD I SAY WINDSOR
CONGRATULATIONS TO PRINCE WILLIAM, ..EVERYBODY NOW CHEER OUT LOUD,
CONGRATULATIONS TO KATE MIDDLETON, GLAD HE DIDNT CHOOSE THAT BRITNEY MINGER,
CONGRATULATIONS TO PRINCE WILLIAM, …YOUR MOTHER WOULD OF BEEN PROUD
