hyphy

Hyphy is a movement, much like Hip Hop. Based on several different elements of the San Francisco Bay Area lifestyle. Breakdancing has been replaced by doing The Furley, and other activities have been replaced by side shows, and doing extacy. Compared to Crunk, but very different in reality. Popularized by rappers such as E-40, Mac Dre, Doctor Scott, Mistah F.A.B. & The Team

hyphy

Hyphy (pronounced HI-fee; IPA: ˈhaɪfiː) is a style of music and dance primarily associated with the Bay Area hip hop culture. Although the hyphy movement started in the early '90s, it began to emerge in the early 2000s as a response from Bay Area rappers against commercial hip hop for not acknowledging the Bay for setting trends in the hip hop industry.12 Although the "hyphy movement" has just recently seen light in mainstream America, it has been a long standing and evolving culture in the Bay Area. Bay Area rapper Keak Da Sneak takes credit for coining the term when, as a young boy, his mother would often tell him he was hyperactive. He would repeat the word "hyper" as "hyphy".

Hyphy music is distinguished by gritty, pounding rhythms and in this sense can be associated with the Bay Area as crunk music is to the South; however, contrary to popular belief, the musical aspect of the Hyphy movement has very few similarities to crunk music as it is dictated by more up-tempo beats. An individual is said to "get hyphy" when they act or dance in an overstated and ridiculous manner. Those who consider themselves part of the Hyphy movement would describe this behavior as acting "stupid" or "going dumb." In contrast to much of popular American culture where these phrases would be considered negative or even insulting, Hyphy is distinguished by taking this kind of behavior as a form of pride.3

Hyphy

A term everyone out side of the Bay Area uses for "getting high like crazy" basically and says "YEAHH everyone in the bayarea is gettin Hyphy" But no one in the bay area actually uses the term Hyphy unless they are refering to a pipe or the energy drink...So everyone from the bay area just fucking stop using the term saying that all of us in the Bay Area are getting hyphy cuz most likely you dont know wut the fuck your talking about. And all you motherfuckers in Sacramento GIVE UP!!! Sacramento is <B><U>NOT</B></U> part of the Bay Area and it never will be

someone from the Bay Area: "Hey dude I got some weed did you bring your Hyphy?" or "Dude can you go to 7-11 and get me some Hyphy?"

Bay Area <B><U>WANNABE:</B></U> "Everyone in da Bay be gettin Hyphy blood"
