Scottish hip-hop is the regional manifestation of the British hip hop culture in Scotland, comprising the five elements of MCing, DJing, beatboxing, graffiti and b-boying. ==History== In the 1980s, elements of hip hop culture had spread to Scotland. In the late 1980s artists such as Two Tone Committee, Krack Free Media, Dope Inc (first proper Scottish hip hop artist on vinyl) and into the early 90's with Zulu Syndicate, Major Threat, and UTI (Under The Influence) laid the groundwork for a Scottish Hip Hop subculture, rapping consciously about their own lives and problems in their own voices rather than emulating American rappers of the time. In Glasgow, Steg G & the Freestyle Master were producing work that added a west coast twist to Scottish rap.〔〔 In the early 2010s, a defined scene became more visible in the mainstream for various reasons. Firstly, the emergence of "written" battle rap as a defined artform led to greater exposure of the scene as whole. This even culminated in a Scotsman becoming the de facto UK battle rap champion when Soul became the Don't Flop champion in 2015. Several artists within the hip hop community also became galvanised by the Scottish independence referendum, 2014. The likes of Loki and Stanley Odd championed the Yes vote. The former emerged as an activist and cultural voice on behalf of the hip hop community, while the latter went viral with their single "Son, I Voted Yes".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Stanley Odd - Son,, I Voted Yes )〕 Elsewhere, several acts within the scene broke into the mainstream. The likes of Hector Bizerk and The LaFontaines earned prestigious slots at the T in the Park festival, as well as widespread critical recognition. Meanwhile, Young Fathers, a hip hop group from Edinburgh, achieved UK-wide success with their album "Dead", for which they won the Mercury prize. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scottish hip-hop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
