Additional Info

The word hyphy is a short word meaning "hyperactive." It was created by Bay Area rapper Keak Da Sneak when he used the term on an album he recorded in 1994. Hyphy is a style of music and dance associated with San Francisco Bay Area hip hop culture. The culture began to emerge in the late 1990's and early 2000's as a response from Bay Area rappers against commercial hip hop for not acknowledging the Bay for setting trends in the hip hop industry. The term is said to be a combination of the words "hyper" and "fly". It is distinguished by gritty, pounding rhythms, and in this sense can be associated with the Bay as crunk music is to the South. An individual is said to "get hyphy" when they dance in an overstated and ridiculous manner, or if they get overly loud with other people. Most in the Bay Area would consider this style as acting "Retarded", "Riding The Yellow Bus", or "Stupid Doo-Doo Dumb". Although the "hyphy movement" has just recently seen light in mainstream America, it has been a long standing and ever evolving culture in the Bay Area since the early 90's. Throughout the Bay Area, there are regularly events called "sideshows". This is where different people come together and partake in or watch illegal automobile performances. This is where drivers do things such as donuts, ghostride and streetrace while others dance and "go dumb" around them. These events can be very dangerous.
