Hyphy (pronounced high-fee; IPA: [ˈhaɪfiː]]) is a style of music and dance associated with San Francisco Bay Area hip hop culture. It began to emerge in early 2000 as a response from Bay Area rappers against commercial hip hop for not acknowledging the Bay for setting trends in the hip hop industry.[1] 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. The term is a combination of the words "hype" and "fly".[2]

It is distinguished by gritty, pounding rhythms, and in this sense can be associated with the Bay as crunk music is to the South. An individual is said to "get hyphy" when they act or dance in an overstated and ridiculous manner. Many in the Bay Area would describe this as acting "Retarded", "Riding The Yellow Bus", "Stupid" or "Going Dumb".

Chris Stylez 07-05-06 12:47 AM

This is why black people are considered dumb and ignorant in america along with rap and hip-hop.I understand slang and all but yall are getting it from a dopehead that just makes the shit up and puts no thought into it. Even though its not the best thing but being a follower is alright....just dont follow something thats stupid. What the in my eyes is just an excuse why the Westcoast aint doing their thang lyricly anymore so they have to make some somebullshit ass "Movement" to cover up what they really got for music. The Westcoast fell off of the top and is now brushin the floor of hip-hop with stupidity and ignorance. Mad Respect for the west but no Respect for the hyphy.

Chris Stylez 07-05-06 12:49 AM

Also ya life must really not be shit or really not your own if someone else creation is your life such as slang and wikipedia....

What if a black person was born and raised under certain conditions, and only had contact with a high class english family, and never heard music or was exposed to other black people.

Would he still talk and act like a dumbass? Arent you degrading your race a little bit when you say that? "Yeah, every black person has an innate ability to talk like an idiot and 'get dumb' and have style."

You are obviously too shallow minded to see that this is some little fad. Can you imagine yourself at 35, working long hard hours trying to feed your wife and kid, still talking with that crap slang and acting dumb.. ?

Young Drama 07-05-06 12:57 AM

so ur saying being black is "talking like a idiot"?

Young Drama 07-05-06 01:00 AM

Basicly my final standpoint is. It is a silly fad but if it sells...well....you can't really argue with making money.

Young Drama 07-05-06 01:22 AM

Terumoto 07-05-06 01:23 AM

If you dont want us to be confrontational, then dont say shit like "I hate white ppl" and "u ppl will never understand cos u have no style."

And finally, If you really want to call what you do "getting dumb" or "getting stupid" (dont see why you would want to..), then dont get all offended when someone says its dumb or stupid.

La Cosa Nostra 07-05-06 01:24 AM

Sometimes Triple Stacks)...but, later it became a way of expressing yourself and how you acted...A better way for saying hyper active, then it started with the dancing. The Whirl, the cave, Thizzle Dance, Getting Stupid, the fish,etc. (Mac Dre). Now it's all that into one, and some. And as for the language, it's been here. Northern Cali been saying this shit forever.

Southern Cali ride low riders, Northern Cali ride scrapers with knock and rims.
Southern Cali wear khakis and chucks, Northern Cali wear TShirts, Jeans, and Nikes...and now, Vans.

And theres a lot more differences. Young Drama, I dunno what it is with him. He wants to be from Nor Cal. Nor Cal are trend Setters.

Young Drama 07-05-06 02:59 AM

i wanna b from nor cal???

nigga did u read my post, i dont go dumb, dat shit is stupid, i was jus play'n

u on sum other shit my nigga, nor. cal aint doin nuttin we seriously wanna do, dis is south central til we fuck'n die, bay area niggaz is really on sum angry shit

M Eazy 07-05-06 03:04 AM

You on some yerples nigga. Nor Cal niggas don't like Southern niggas. Ya'll on that gay shit. We keep it gutta. I don't know what ya'll be on. Hella mexicans in Southern Cali anyway. Niggas probably ain't even legal.

Young Drama 07-05-06 03:55 AM
