if u ever watch crunk they just move around and psuh mufukas...we dance and go dumb to me thats hella different and the music is way different...im just sayin if we like "yaeh its just like crunk" then eveybody is gon think they heard it b4 since we say they like cuzins...we already hella different than the rest of the world so lets do it to the max
It's very irritating overseas, all the hip hop squares think (and dismiss) Hyphy as being crunk, and all the music and hip hop writers and magazines, who like to sound real knowledgable, always name check crunk when intro'ing Hyphy.
I hate that shit. If MTV can move beyond the comparison and recognise the distinction (which they have this year), every other fool needs to slap themselves if they can't do that too. Hyphy is more than just "like crunk".
I think for most people outside of this, it's easier to compare to crunk than try and use their musical brain and actually describe the music. SMH at music journalists that need to reference another genre in order to describe a sound.

Hyphy= Crunk they both are the same...and its funny people talkin about squares(probably one themselves)If you cant tell the difference you a square? what ya need a special decoder ring from the set to be down?This is music to be enjoyed by all....when yall aint getting airplay the complaints are always-we aint getting no airplay-they got no love for the bay.Now you get a lil airplay and no one else can be cool enough to listen to it,talk about it.So what if they make the comparison? does that change the fact that your region is in the spotlight? take advantage of it,instead ofcomplaining like some school girls.If you really want to do your research you will realize why people compare the two....Aint nothing on some original shit...people been getting hyphy for years across the U.S.-It just wasnt called hyphy...most people who are acting up on here are probably under the age of 20 years old

Nigga you're a hater and you ain't even from Oakland! All these out of town niggas tryna define what hyphy is has been killing me latley. We always knew what Crunk was and no body in Oakland ever used it as a word to replace Crunk, it's a totally different word that used to have a different meaning (and still does on the streets) than this bullshit mainstream definition. Crunk is crazy and drunk, period! Hyphy has always been uncontrolled anger, boldness, being hella hot, doin too much, loosing your mind, it's different dawg, you're looking at it from an outsider's view. It's way more shit that goes with hyphy than Crunk. If you're in a riot, and you start throwing rocks at 5-0, that's hyphy, not Crunk. Same thing with ghost riding, thizzing, our way of dancing, fighting, our way of driving, sideshows, etc.. You sound stupid trying to limit our culture to just "Crunk".. This word should of never went mainstream I swear, coz now the nerds swear that they know what they're talking about when we talk about what used to be a street term (Hyphy).
Same goes to you. It's hella funny how these niggas probably just started using the word in 2006 or late 2005 and swear to God they know what they're talking about. It's funny how no one "really" from Oakland agrees with comments like this, just the suburbian kids who weren't there when the word was first being used and just heard it on the radio.

Yea, well they didn't create hyphy either, they just put a soundtrack to it.. Fuck the music, I'm talking about the word it's self. I won't deny that hyphy and crunk music are similar, in that they are both party music. But the words are in no way synonymous, there is a huge difference in the culture and how the word is used. They exist in two completely different contexts..

Yea, but you have to admit that the actual Bay Area rap scene/cuture was the selling point, the music isn't all that to be honest (to be having this big of a buzz), they're trying to sell the culture.
The music its self is more uptempo and has better lyrics for the most part. Yea, Lil Jon produced both big "national" hits first, but honestly, he didn't create either sound dawg. The first actual Crunk hit was by "The Iconz", not Lil Jon. And crediting Lil Jon for hyphy is crazy, all he did was produce a track, Rick Rock and others been following this format. Do you honestly think that Rick Rock drew inspiration directly from Lil Jon when he made his first hyphy beat? I doubt it, he was probably indirectly influenced but he didn't bite no one elses sound. The heavy drums have been used by Too Short for years, and I had dreds way back in 97! White T's and NIKEs in 98, waaay before the South made it popular, you should know about that. I hate these comparisons because you can compare any form of hip hop to the other, it's all music. None of it is the same and none of it is different as far as music, that's a dead issue. Our sake of identity is at stake though as far as a unique culture, and these people who perpetuate this myth are trying to destroy what we've created out here that quick. People really need to delve into this Bay culture, check the history, and then decide what came from who and what came from what. We're too secluded in the North/West region of the country to really be influenced by Atlanta that much, shit urks me. Niggas is really tryna say we bitin when it is so far from the truth.
