i cant be everywhere in the bay the same time.. but back when i lived in Vallejo in like 2001-2003.. everybody called em simply "stunnas" but i aint sure if thats where it started. in the city they were called "highways", but now everybody just call em stunnas, or "stunna shades" thanks to 40.

Locs were just one type of glasses. Those gangsta shades you'd get at the gas station. Stunnaz are any big ass set of shades.

For real...Locs and Stunnas are 2 ENTIRELY different kind of sun glasses...

Locs was usually a So Cal thing...

 

[scodylan]

aviators were called stunnas in redwood city/east palo alto/east menlo park since atleast 99 or so...sophomore year of high school for me if i remember correctly. i think the term is an EPA term originally to be honest, but i have no proof so whatever...everybody in the Bay fighting for the rights to everything...

 

[KHoA*La_bEAR*]

Who knows you made 'em. E40 prolly popularized it though, like he tries to do with every other slang from the bay.

I feel you there. Not just that but the terminology associated with Hyphy is, for lack of a better phrase "Stupid doo doo dumb"
But oh well, the rest of the Country might stop hatin if artists with talent from the Bay start to get shine.
