the northern california way of life that includes going crazy, stupid, dumb, and retarded... to get hyphy you can get angry, hella happy, or just have a lot of energy... this is NOT a bay area version of crunk... this is a lifestyle that goes hand in hand with thizz... you can also get superhyphy which is doin hella much at one time... this takes hyphee to the next level and you gotta be really feelin yo self to feel that good...
keak da sneak: my definition of hyphy man is thizzin man is sniffin lines...

Westcoast definition of the South's Crunk
by Chardai' May 13, 2005

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 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!!
