hyphy

Both a genre of music and a lifestyle from the Bay Area, Oakland, San Fran, San Jo, Vallejo, and more. E-40, Mac Dre (r.i.p), The Pack, Keak Da Sneak, and The Federation are all hyphy artists. Hyphy basically means to go dumb, retarded, lose control and not care what anyone thinks. You can do this by dancing, getting in a fight, scraping, and ghost riding your car. This is the Bay CALIFORNIA. Not Tampa Bay, not Green Bay, Not any other bay. Hyphy is mainly underground but over the years its getting more exposure.

Hyphy

Hyphy vs. Crunk. Hyphy has been around way before crunk it just didnt have a push to get it going. CrunK is just a whole buncha people who moved from the yay area, Cali to ATL and stole to slang. the Bay originates all the cool slang used by rappers today. Crunk sucks. HYPHY MaynE!!

Hyphy vs. Crunk.
Hyphy > Crunk!

Person 1: "wanna get crunk"
person 2: "what the fuck is crunk, we git hyphy".

Although mostly Bay Area, getting "hyphy" is more of an Oakland word defining getting ignorant, drunk/high, and quite violent within a group of friends.
