Beatbox vicar is online hit
A British vicar has become an internet sensation after posting a video of himself rapping the Nativity story.
Revered Gavin Tyte - who is a former professional beatboxer - uploaded a clip called 'The Beatbox Nativity' of him rapping Luke's gospel and beatboxing a backbeat.
He explained: "I had feedback that people wanted an HD version with subtitles so I set about creating a new video that could be played in churches and youth clubs.
"I love writing and wondered if it was possible to write the bible in rap.
"I have hung out with rappers for a long time, but trying to turn each verse into a rhyming verse is really tricky.
"You are constrained by what is written and what sounds good so it does not flow as well as if you were rapping from scratch."
The video features Gavin dressed as the narrator, a shepherd and an angel.
