We gave the world our game by breaking some of our words to em'(Example: alot of mainstream cats droppin' terms on hits, punchlines for albums, etc.) But now folks all across the globe wanna know the truth with us kickin them detailed scriptures about whats really poppin' out here in Northern Cali. Just like Short can tell a nigga in Europe what it's like in Oakland, or Jay Z tellin us bout Brooklyn. Lets Keep It Lit & Turn That Fire Up On them 2 where they gone have 2 fuck wit it. 08 mean Mo Weight so lets get it BAY AREA! KING CYDAL "YA BLOCK'S HOST AVAILABLE FEB. 2008!!!!!!!
People saying let it go are really honestly, stupid as fuck.
Hyphy got us halfway there and now everyones blasting it. Man fuck that, instead of everyone in the bay fighting over what our sound should be jus make quality music and don't be afraid to ride for hyphy.
Man one of the "hyphiest" songs to me is "Retro Mob" by Husalah and Fed-X. That song isn't even really a "Hyphy" song by definition, but it brings out that hyphy emotion in me.
No other area in the world brings out emotion like the bay, so maybe we don't gotta make Droop-E style hyphy shit, but why is it a bad thing to make a song that brings out a "Hyphy" feeling?

hyphy never had a chance. maybe it's not dead as a lifestyle, but as a musical movement, it's done. like a few others said, too many cats jumped on the bandwagon.
how many songs in 06-now have been called 'Go Dumb?' by everyone from heavy hitters like FAB to the myspace rapper on your block. the movement could have kept going if there was some originality to it.
and off top, it was coo to see everyone getting behind hyphy and supporting it but for me supporting something didn't mean i had to change the way i talked, dressed or acted. but all these rappers switched their steelo real quick when the hyphy movement was in full effect.
the shame about that is that there is so much diversity in the bay and so many artists doing something DIFFERENT that never got to shine because of the hyphy movement. from mobb shit to so-called 'backpack rap' and more. but instead everyone only chose to show one side of this bay area sceneand before you knew it, everyone was wearing yellow bus t-shirts, spongebob backpacks, dreads and stunna shades.
