I'm pretty certain that the activity predates Hip-hop by a loooong way (weren't kids were doing it during the war, and before). Is it the name "double dutch" that comes from hip-hop? perfectblue 17:52, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
From what I have read double dutch pre-dates hip hop but hip hop had something to do with it's push back into pop-culture. As for the name itself it is my understanding that when the English settlers arrived in New Amsterdam (now New York City) they saw the Dutch children playing the game and the English called it "Double Dutch". Checkout www.nationaldoubledutchleague.com/History.htm
As far as I know hip-hop even evolved out of the double dutch scene, thats what we told each other in the 80´s. The (mainly) girls started to sing what the Rappers spoke, and they jumped: hip-hop hip-hop hip-hop... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.179.23.27 ( talk) 21:35, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
I've removed this picture from the article as there is only one rope in it. Judging from the above discussion, Double Dutch may not date back to the nineteenth century. An actual photo of a modern Double Dutch would be a nice addition to the article. jnestorius( talk) 14:02, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

black people ≠ hip hop. yes, there are some elements of black american culture that are different than white american culture, and vice versa, but simply because you've discovered hip hop does not mean that the existence of, and entire cultural experience of, african-decended americans is hip hop. in fact, as of now, the word 'african' isn't even in this entire article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.162.167.184 ( talk) 18:56, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
While the WSJ may indeed claim that "some say" that this was brought by Dutch settlers, this is obviously bogus, and is typical urban legend fare. In slang, "dutch" means "trouble" and it's no surprise that a two-jump-rope game would be considered "double trouble" and nicknamed "double dutch". Benwing ( talk) 00:30, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

In British English "double Dutch" means something (often language but no necessarily so) that is very difficult to understand. "Today's presentation on quantum physics was all double Dutch to me." So as something really confusing, this skipping style might be appropriately named "Double Dutch" merely according to the dictionary definition, e.g. [1]. It is the same word phrase so I am not sure if positing a link would be considered original research or not. -- Timtak ( talk) 11:33, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
Maybe the 1980s song should be mentioned in the cultural references section, someone who knows details about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.13.68.171 ( talk) 18:23, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Cleaning up some citations. I listened to their song and it's an instrumental. Is there any reason to think, other than the title, that it's related to the jump rope game? Let me know if so. Here's the text I removed "The 1974 album Midnight Mushrumps by the British progressive rock band Gryphon features a track named Dubbel (dutch for Double) Dutch."
