its obvious, out of the many bay area rap artist most known, mista fab and e-40 were the 2 that got involved with the hyphy movement which i can now call a gimmick cause i could see it dying out by the day. hyphy wont die, but the movement will. to me, all that hyphy music shit artists put out constantly looks real bad on their resume. for instance, that Ghostride It song fab put out killed it for me. Shit just sounded too generic. yellow bus, get retarded... come on now. isnt Going Dumb itself already enough? Fab did too much if you asked me. if he was to put out a serious album in the future that didnt include all that stupidity, i would still have to reconsider even listening to it cause when he went Retarded on The Yellow Bus, i cant imagine ever buying a album from someone who pushes those kindve lyrics. 40 isnt that far from it, but i guess 40 has a stronger resume which could exclude all the hyph-tracks hes done, plus, his hyphy-tracks sounds more well produced. a real hyphy track will "get your hood stomped", not "get retarded."
