BET's Rap City to Air Hyphy Series
BET’s famed Rap City is about to get Hyphy. That’s because BET captured three days of footage chronicling the Bay area's Hyphy movement, and its instrumental figures: E-40, Hieroglyphics and Too Short.
Rap City will air its week-long series beginning next Monday (May 29) at 5 p.m. EST with Too Short, the pioneering Oakland MC known for his sexually explicit lyrics. The series will conclude with a Bay Area Top 10 Countdown.
Hyphy, the frenzied subculture movement, originated in Oakland and received national attention with E-40’s My Ghetto Report Card album.
Rap City’s Hyphy series is scheduled as follows:
Monday 5/29/06 - Too Short: A Day in the Life
Tuesday 5/30/06 - Hyphy: A Subculture of Hip Hop
Wednesday 5/31/06 - E-40: His Second Wind
Thursday 6/01/06 - Hieroglyphics & Davey D: The Past, Present, & Future
