Rap icon Snoop Dogg was welcomed to Glasgow in true Scottish style – after a piper was invited to play him off the plane with a remix of West Coast rap.
Ross Ainslie was only given a day's notice after being asked to perform for the 51-year-old legend, real name Calvin Broadus Jr., who is currently touring the UK. But Glasgow Live reports that the star gave Ross a rousing review of his piper's rendition of Dr Dre tune Still D.R.E.
In footage posted to Ross' Instagram page, Snoop – draped in a tartan throw – can be seen dancing on the tarmac at Glasgow Airport as the piper plays the song's well-known melody. He then turns to Ross and gives him a big thumbs up and a smile.
The camera then pans back to the piper, who can't resist a smile as he continues to play the pipes. He later said that the experience had been a "very cool" one.
Ross added: "I only had a day to suss out some music but 'Still D.R.E' is a great pipe tune! Who knew?"
Two versions of the clip posted to Ross' social media have picked up a combined 40,000 views, and have delighted his followers. One said: "This is absolutely outstanding."
Another added: "Pipe it like it’s hot. Awesome man!"
Another follower said: "Award for the most random video on the internet today. Class."
Snoop Dogg performed at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow on Thursday night. The show had been set to take place last August but was delayed due to scheduling conflicts.
