Hyphy is different things to different people. Cause it means several things all at once.
We have been doing hyphy for the last 2 decades, Richie Rich of 415 caught and described the essence of it best in his song SideShow at that time. Late 80's early 90's our culture up here has always been influenced by the subculture that is dominated by Blacks.
No other area will you see, and I live on Fairfax and High Street-hot dope track. Anyway in my neighborhood are Latins, Whites--they will kick yo azz too, tonga's, vietnamese etc. But the culture that dominates where I stay is a product of the streets.
Hyphy is just that, a product of the subculture, urban living, drug sellin and using, Scrapers, Chevs, Stangs, Coug's, Escalade trucks.
For the most part it is a way of life that just is. On a sunday when the weather is nice and you riding through the town and you see folk in they cars at the gas stations, smoking on good purp, it just is.
I love the Town...
