... well at least I thought it was interesting:

Is the beat for the Xzibit song "Concentrate" (produced by Rick Rock) a hyphy beat?

Yes and the new fegie song "fergalious" is a hyphy song too...........


A hyphy song is a uptempo song that makes u get hyphy......


Salt shaker was a hyphy song too............

the remix to scrape scoot on big rich album was pretty much the same concept and most would consider the big rich track with turf talk and fed a hyphy track

I don't think you can really label a beat hyphy or not...I think Hyphy is in the way the music makes you react.
Nah, hyphy is a beat. It's a sound particular to a region (The Yay Areaaaa). I would say it's a variant of the crunk sound. Are there any experienced producers that can expand upon this?

my opinion is it aint hyphy with out a bay rapper on it.

so your saying an up beat accordian song is hyphy? fuck no....the rapper makes half the song, the beat makes the other half...


unless its mainstream, where the beats make ALL the difference

Just trying to spark a different kind of conversation around here. Who cares if someone seen E-40 eating an ice cream cone at a bus stop in Marin?

Unfortunately, a lot of you are about as intellectually engaging as a Telatubby so most of these kinds of posts go to shit quick.
