Both a genre of music and a lifestyle from the Bay Area, Oakland, San Fran, San Jo, Vallejo, and more. E-40, Mac Dre (r.i.p), The Pack, Keak Da Sneak, and The Federation are all hyphy artists. Hyphy basically means to go dumb, retarded, lose control and not care what anyone thinks. You can do this by dancing, getting in a fight, scraping, and ghost riding your car. This is the Bay CALIFORNIA. Not Tampa Bay, not Green Bay, Not any other bay. Hyphy is mainly underground but over the years its getting more exposure.
