Scotch snap and Hip Hop

[edit]

The paragraph concerning the Scotch Snap’s influence on hip hop does not include any citations, the claim was originally made in a YouTube video by Adam Neely. This is not a unanimously held view, suggest that a qualifier is added and a counterpoint is offered. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7E:1716:8700:B012:72F0:6D5D:3B77 (talk) 22:12, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It would be good to have an aural example in wav or mid form. - Kittybrewster 09:55, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Scotch, Scottish, Scots

[edit]

Is it the Scotch Snap, the Scottish Snap or the Scots Snap? A Google search showed the first two with about the same number of hits, with the third one less common. I guess the real question is, what do people in Scotland say? —Anne Delong (talk) 15:06, 25 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To be quite honest, we don't. What is described as a "Scotch snap" is vaguely similar to a common rhythm in Scottish traditional music - an accented short note followed by a longer - but really what we play is quite different to what classical musicians mean by it, the structure of it being bound up in context, technique, and idiom. The word Scotch itself in modern Scots tends to be thought of as an exclusively external imposition, and its use can arouse some ire. Calum (talk) 13:37, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
