I'm meeting with a million different people that try and make hyphy one particular uptempo beat, but to me u cant say Hyphy is one particular sound. Hyphy music to me is any music that slaps and makes you wanna move. Too Short's "Burn Rubber" is considered a hyphy track and it's not fast and Keak's "White Tee, Blue jeans, and Nikes" is at a average speed. So my question to u guys on siccness is "What makes a song Hyphy?"

hyphy is a feeling, not a sound. a lot of people tend to forget that, especially with this whole "yellow bus" shit thats been goin on lately.

Yeah exactly...it's a feelin you get from hearing a track, like a lot of em lil john tracks he produced, gets a feelin in people and makes em go "crunk".

A hyphy beat has certain characteristics about it, uptempo, synth-driven, space effects...but the same can be said about most of today's club music.


I think thats a part of the reason why The Bay is going to able to get some mainstream success, because the sound here is relevant to whats going on all across the board. I think we're making music thats on par with the rest of the industry


In the end a hot beat is a hot beat. I think what makes a track Hyphy is whats being said on the track, and like Meelo said, its more of a feeling than anything else.
