Everytime I DJ I have to drop one Hyphy track. A set full of these bay area beats is a little much but i've found that one or two e-40, Too $hort, or Mistah F.A.B. tracks will make the whole club "go dumb" when played at the right time.
Hyphy is a term that embodies the dance, attitude, and lifestyle surrounding bay area hip hop. It started in the 90's in San Fransisco and was first made popular by E-40's "tell me when to go"

As you'll see in the video, going dumb is the best way to describe it. Hyphy music and culture is similar to the clowning and krumping we saw in Rize but definitely has an original personality. These guys also love to get the whip involved. I used to do this with my friends all the time in high school.
