R.I.P Hyphy Movement, Jan 06-April 06

[J$crILLa]

it is what it is to you man

['EclipZe]

that the team album is dope  btw, when is e-40's new single comin out with t-pain?

[XL Middleton]

i just wanna know, what do you all mean when you say "g-funk" because i have a feeling that different ppl mean different things when they say it, like some ppl may think it's basically anything from warren g or old deathrow or anything derived directly from that, but other ppl might just mean any kind of melodic kick back west coast party music such as quik or battlecat.  i tend of think of g-funk as the former and as such, yeah it's dead but that quik/battlecat shit still has a chance in my opinion, even if it aint super poppin right now.

anyone who thinks g-funk is still alive, is like one of those guys who walks around with a leash in his hand and no dog....

[SGV]

I don't look at Quik's current music as G-Funk. He once made G-Funk, but dude re-invents himself and his sound as the years go by. A dude like Battlecat or Warren G are making the same ass music to me, and that's played out ass G-Funk. I can say fuck G-Funk because, well, G-Funk hasn't been worthwhile for damn near 10 years now. I'm all for remembering the classics, but there comes a time where you just have to let go.

Houston has a different sound than they did 10 years ago. Miami has a different sound than they did 10 years ago. Chicago, New York, Philly, The Bay, etc. ALL have different sounds and their fans are loving it. But in L.A., switch your sound, you've sold out. You're not true to the West Coast. You're now wack.

[kingwell]

Why do y'all always compare G-Funk to Hyphy? G-Funk is dead since the late 90's and after that I dont know what era it was but it certainly wasnt G-Funk...and about Hyphy...how can it be dead if its been out since a few months only? give it time to grow on peeps.

After the G-Funk era, I believe the era that began was called "Down South" and "East Coast".   

[Diabolical]

From what Ive read about Hyphy on other sites it sounds like ass.

[Eihtball]

Hyphy and G-Funk aren't gangsta rap and there is nothin wrong with that.

What?  G-Funk is pretty much THE definitive sound of gangsta rap.  Which isn't to say only gangsta rappers used it (Warren G wasn't that gangsta), but yeah, G-Funk mostly definitely = West Coast gangsta rap.

Houston has a different sound than they did 10 years ago. Miami has a different sound than they did 10 years ago. Chicago, New York, Philly, The Bay, etc. ALL have different sounds and their fans are loving it. But in L.A., switch your sound, you've sold out. You're not true to the West Coast. You're now wack.

Real talk +1.  L.A. is still livin' like it's '95 and cats wonder why their records ain't selling?  It's cause they're irrelevent, why else?

Although SOME cats manage to re-invent themselves without being called "wack", Quik being a good example.

[ZILLA THA GOODFELLA]

DEAD? Either you don't get out or you're a HATER. You have no idea what's taking place....We're only in PRE-SEASON!!!!! Mistah Fab is getting signed as we speak. 40 and Keak will be on 106th & Park PERFORMING "Tell me when to go" with the dancers from the video Today. The clubs are going KRAYZIE rite now with this shit, from the bay to LA to Daygo, ask anyone who's actually out there, like SGV above. You gotta be in the streets to feel the movement, you ain't gonna see it just because the E-40 topics died down on the forums. It's bigger than that, it's huge right now, the West Coast has to stand up cuzz we got something going here. LA has shown much love recently, look at this video from Long Beach for example:

^ SHIT IS NUTS!!!!! Tell me this ain't a movement!!!!!!! It's only getting started, trust me! 40 and Short aren't doing this for selfish reasons, they are passing the torch and opening all the doors, sit back and watch us shine!

[ZILLA THA GOODFELLA]

And like I said....you idiots that aren't OUT THERE have no idea what the difference of CRUNK & Hyphy is. It's different, from the culture to the dances to the slang to the swagger and the way everyone carries themselves. But at the same time, both sides enjoy each other's company. It's a beautiful thing and all you no life ass square bears that are criticizing it need to get slapped the fuck up because the sides JOINED forces, who the fuck are y'all to say anything about it? Look at the positives!!!! Federation gettin signed to Warner Borthers too, mann, we ain't even done with the appetizer of the movement!! It's bout to be summer time, shit is going down!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Detox Iz Not Active]

LOL, this hyphy wackness was just a a cheap imitation of crunk, which sucks too, just so the Bay could be on the map




shit is just garbage, and I'm sorry but when E-40 is leading charge it's NOT goign to blow, same with Too Short


new niggas need to blow it up, and it won't, like when LIl Jon led the crunk charge

[HD]

it better be dead
