Well, if I’ve misunderstood the OP then I certainly apologize. But, I mean, he specifically pointed out the three instances in which triplets are used (0:14, 0:19, and 1:27). Personally, I think his use of the phrase “clipping” was merely a layman’s way of describing what he was hearing (no offense to the OP!).
WordMan, I’m a professional music director/pianist/composer who makes his living in NYC, mostly in the world of musical theatre. Definitely not omniscient or trying to toot my own horn, but yes, I’ve been making music for a long time now and I love talking about it with others!
Just kidding. I’m just a layman trying valiantly to describe what I’m hearing to an audience who knows what I’m talking about when I sure as hell don’t. Nevertheless, this has been a fascinating discussion. Thanks!
I’m talking about the more general idea of rapid, clipped wordplay. It’s employed in Hip Hop quite a bit - Snoop is master of it - and right now I’m trying valiantly to bring up another example, just so someone who knows what the hell I’m talking about can explain to me what the hell I’m talking about.
Of course, if you don’t read IPA, that’s probably not helpful.
The first syllable rhymes with Bach, where the “ch” is a velar fricative, typical of German, Hebrew, and the Scottish “loch”. The “v” is pronounced “f”, and the “w” is pronounced “v”. I typically drop my trailing Rs when I speak German, although the second one is replaced by the allophone [ɐ], which is very similar to the English “uh”. It’s very quick and subtle. You could also roll those Rs or do a typical German uvular R if you wanted.
It is actually astonishingly hard to describe phonetics in text.
