Set Yo Tivo To Stunna!

The Bay area is the spot right now if you’re down with the Hyphy movement. The Hyphy movement’s origins are hotly contested, and to some hardcore hip hop heads it’s meanings are obscured with confusion. For those that are looking to pick up a pair of Stunna shades and get down with the cause the hyphy movement is essentially hip hop music rowdier than the Dirty’s crunk sound with all inhibitions stripped away. The movement has its own dances, slang, fashion and car culture (ghost ride the whip!). For those that are really trying to educate themselves on the Hyphy craze tune into BET next week as Rap City gets hyphy’d up. The schedule for the week long showcase is as follows: Monday 5/29/06 - Too Short: A Day in the Life. Tuesday 5/30/06 - Hyphy: A subculture of Hip Hop. Wednesday 5/31/06 - E-40: His second wind. Thursday 6/01/06 - Hieroglyphics & Davey D: The Past, Present, & Future. Friday 6/02/06 - Bay Area: The Road Map. Shake dem dreads! Yip Yip!
