WAS THE HYPHY ERA A GOOD THING OR A BAD THING FOR THE BAY??

[LISICKI]

Shit was an annoyance and a black eye to the game *at least in the eyes of us older folks*

It produced some really good music and it produced some really BAD music. Coulda been huge instead it made every fan become a a rapper and producer instead of just being a fan. The Team ,Keak,FAB,The Federation, Mac Dre and of course 40 had straight slappers period. It was every other whack cat that came out rapping hyphy hyphy hyphy hyphy hyphy that sucked.

The dumb thing about it to me was, that was just a part of the bay culture. Sideshows been around forever and there was a bunch of cool mentions of it throughout the years since the early 90's. All that overexposure kinda ruined it to me and killed it.

when all these fucking idiots tried to make every song be a new dance that shit was a wrap.

It would of been a good thing if the Mac named D.R.E. was still with us. When he passed, he took hyphy with him. Along with Thizz ENT. Its not the same without him. That was HIS swag and everybody in the Bay jacked it and tried to be like him but failed. FAILED REAL HARD.

 

[Impalas]

It was just a gimmick, a gimmick destine to fail.

I loved it and still love hyphy music. I still bump Team, Federation, and Nump in the ride. I was out of state when it blew up and people liked it but it was just a fad to them kind of like the whole swag and jerk music now. Kendra the playboy model ghostrided her escalade in an episode of Girls Next Door. I have the episode downloaded on my hard drive somewhere. I posted it on youtube but it got taken down due to copyright infringement.

Honestly, it was neither. It had it's moment where it got some major deals for people, but nothing really came from it. I'll still listen to rappers that I like, and that's all that really matters to me.

A bad thing, I used to listen to any album I could find from the bay, but since Hyphy I stopped listening to most as I cant stand it

 

[yes]

really no such thing is a bad thing if it attracts consumers/fans then their is no minuses to it at all the only thing i can say is that if industry producers and artists start incorporating that hyphy sounds inside of their music then its influence and was a good thing!!! hyphy took on a big role in that time in music in the industry and still to this day some of the illest producers in the game take certain sounds or what not from the hyphy movement!

when mac dre was alive its was dope

when he passed away it was like parents leaving the house to kids

shit just got way outta hand

 

[Foul Mouth]

Anytime your region has a number one hit record it's a good thing.

Everybody used Hyhpy like a crack whore and fed of mac dre's death. Rap music was Thizzin and going dumb and the spark just ran out..

The Bay doesn't try to be different, it is different. It's one of the only scenes that's actually different... the only others are Houston, ATL, NYC and LA. Everybody else sounds like an imitation or mix-up of Houston, ATL, NYC and LA except for the Bay... that's because we've never been followers. And we are respected... the fact that someone as unique and different as E-40 is constantly featured on major albums (most recently the RED album) says a lot about how well-respected we are in the industry. Only the ignorant talk shit about the Bay because they probably got their style & slang from us and don't realize it.

Id like to find who coined the term Hypy movement and slapp the shit out of him, the music got misconstrued and turned into something that it wasnt in the first place
