Hip-hop is a global culture, where local representation is a core tenet of its ideology. It therefore provides opportunities to observe how a global cultural structure is interpreted, realigned and expressed in local cultural forms. This article combines autoethnography and rap lyric analysis to consider the complex relationship between the local and global in relation to cultural articulation and authenticity. Through a study of the poetics of Scottish hip-hop, a series of patterns and connections appear relating to interpretation, negotiation and hybridisation of local and global culture, presenting a demonstration of how the local, global and individual intersect to ‘devise unique ways of communicating thoughts, emotions and everyday realities’ (Alim 2003, Journal of English Linguistics, March, 31/1, pp. 60–84, p. 62). Furthermore, this article presents a framework for autoethnographic study of hip-hop, signposting bridging points between scholarship and practice.

“苏格兰人不会说唱”：苏格兰嘻哈的本地和全球

嘻哈是一种全球文化，地方代表是其意识形态的核心原则。因此，它提供了观察全球文化结构如何以当地文化形式被解释、重新调整和表达的机会。本文结合自体民族志和说唱抒情分析，考虑在文化表达和真实性方面本地和全球之间的复杂关系。通过对苏格兰嘻哈诗学的研究，出现了一系列与本地和全球文化的解释、协商和混合相关的模式和联系，展示了本地、全球和个人如何相交以“设计独特的方式交流思想、情感和日常现实”（Alim 2003，英语语言学杂志, 三月, 31/1, pp. 60–84, p. 62）。此外，本文提出了一个嘻哈自我民族志研究的框架，标志着学术和实践之间的桥梁。
