the "hyphy movement" wouldnt be looked at as retarded in a bad way - its so similar to the crunk movement (dreads, showing your grill, high energy dancing etc.).
THE MAINSTREAM AUDINCE WILL LISTEN TO ANYTHING MTV/BET PLAYS THAT HAS A CATCHY HOOK AND THAT THEY CAN DANCE TO
ppl who listen to mainstream music are like sheep. theyre just directed from trend to trend and like anything mtv tells them to like. the hyphy music has the dance cheesy hook element, so its just a matter of someone like lil jon taking e-40 and keak to 106 and park with him and basically telling everyone - "im lil jon, i had something to do with this song, it sounds like your typical hip hop song and you guys can dance to it, so there you go, you will like it" - from there all 40, keak and the bay will be household names and all they need to do is keep making shitty formulaic mainstrem music talking about the bay and getting hyphy and everyone in america will be walking around looking like they just smelled some piss. its just a matter of a well known figure investing time and money in a bay artist or two and pushing it to the networks, and right now it looks like lil jon might be that guy. i could see it happening... hyphy hyphy hyphy hyphy hyphy!!!!!!!!
