Everyone is talking about 40 & Mac Dre, but knowone is talking about the Federation. Who actually blew up the word Hyphy? I think the Federation actually jumped it all off, but it wasn't on MTV & BET, so they aren't getting the credit. E-40 & Mac Dre are the bigger voices, so everyone pays attention to what they say, and assume it all started with them.
40 & Dre have both contributed to the movement, and they are responsible for carrying this on their backs. There is Hyphy, Mob, Thizz, and more shit from the Bay, and everybody uses everyone's shit. Be thankful that you have 2 Boss Tycoon's that have impacted the nation with some real shit.
Everyone can say what they want but none of this Bay shit would be where it is without 40 being 40, and Mac Dre being Mac Dre. But don't leave out Keak and The Federation and a number of other niggaz, as they have played a big role in the growth of this shit as well. Keak has always been a part of what 40 was doing, and is also working with Thizz. E-40 was on Hyphy with The Federation, and Rick Rock is damn near the King of the Hyphy sound.
This isn't just about 40 and Dre, its just that they are the most visible niggaz doin this shit. GO Stupid, Get Stewy, Hyphy, Tycoon, Yay Area, Timin, Stunna Shades, Doors Open, Fa Sheezy, Thizzin, and that other lingo comes from so many different niggaz, but niggaz want to make it about 40 and Dre.
40 had nothing but love for Dre and all the years that I had been around both of them, I didn't hear either of them talk shit about the other. And this is from the men themselves. When Dre died there was no BEEF between the two, so quit trying to make some beef or controversy now. Enjoy the spotlight that is on the Bay and thank Mac Dre and 40 for playing their part in it. And give props to all the niggaz that get on MTV and BET and continue to push Mac Dre's name, as he deserves that love.
Continue to be Super Sick Wid It and Thizz On People.
Just my 2 cents.
