Gettin' Hyphy

    Lately I've been listening to a lot of Bay Area hip-hop music.  E-40, Keak Da Sneak, and of course the legend, Mac Dre.  The hyphy movement may be a Cali thing, but why not extend it to other parts of the world?  I thought it would be "all gravy" if I wrote a tutorial on how to get hyphy for those who have never even been to the Bay.

    Step 1: Listen to the music of the Bay.  The artists I mentioned in the first paragraph are a few of the Area's iconic emcees.

     Step 2: Learn the lingo.  When referring to loose women, use the term "rippers".  When referring to the face one makes when something is wrong, the hyphy term would be "thizz face".  

     Step 3: Do the dance.  Watch the music videos of any Bay Area artist and you're guaranteed to pick up some sort of hyphy dance moves.

     Step 4: Ghost ride it!  Put your car in neutral, step outside of the car, and dance your ass off.  

     Step 5: Go dumb with the wardrobe!  Pop a grill in your mouth and adorn a nice, large pair of shades.

     Now get stupid!  If you've followed all these steps correctly, you could go to the Bay Area and fit in with the real inhabitants.
