the hyphy movement that started in east oakland was never movement it was a word that died in like 2001. We been stopped sayin that for days before the Feds dropped the single so how does the world even know the word now?? The HYPHY MOVEMENT started at Ricks house in Sac. Dont even trip i got the videos to prove it, ill drop them real soon on Xonger.com! In the meantime stop hatin and know without the Feds and Rick Rock aint no one anywhere outside the bay know Hyphy! That you cant argue! If anything Rick and the Feds did EO a huge favor for shinning a light on something the world now knows them for!
So.....are you saying Keak would have never got enough shine to make Hyphy (his word) popular? Plus there are people around the country who know about Hyphy through DVD's like Highsiden 1&2 not music. The Feds were not the first group to make songs about Oakland culture they were lucky to have the support or an accomplished producer.

but on the real. the feds straight ripped off FAB on the actual "hyphy" song
Tell that to all the rappers that have made a song called "Gangsta Shit" or something similar. It's not like a song called "Hyphy" was that hard to think up...

what about Fab comin with "go damn dumb" and shit? everybody in the Bay feeds off eachother, and it was a beautiful thing until people started really eatin and breaking into the mainstream now everybody wanna copywrite...

u guys are missing the point!!
hella people contributed to this "movement"!!
oakland and other cities been bringing that mentality everywhere for a little while.
mac dre was definitely an influence.
40 launched it to the world!
rick rock started the sound!!!!!!! the federation jumped it off musically.
mtv execs. have personally told me about the work that fillmoe mike put in behind the scenes!! he took a flight out there to meet with mtv and bet to introduce them to this movement. he's been lacing all the major magazines about this shit. i'm just giving credit where its due. he's the boston george of this bay area music scene without the dope.

mac dre started the way of life
the feds put them all together and called it a movement
e-40 made it mainstream

not a single person or group started the hyphy movement, all those parties TOGETHER started what we know as the hyphy movement today.
thats what i said. but for real, people need to grow the fuck up. it used to be bay rap fans would cry about everyone else bitin our shit, now its everyone cryin about bay rappers bitin eachother. why cant the bay just be the bay, unite as one and quit beefin with eachother. It didnt used to be like this.
