An alteration of the phrase, "what'
s happening?"
Its earliest usage dates back to 1992 when
Ice Cube (best known for his lead acting role in "Are We Done
Yet?") inquired eloquently about the occurrence of a game of craps.
Tre: Whats the haps?
IC: I don'
t know, but today seems kinda odd
Tre: Do please elaborate while I listen to Footsteps In The
Dark by The Isley Brothers
