E-40: Ambassador Of The Bay

March 15th, 2006 | Author: Andres Tardio

For those who don’t know, can you elaborate a little bit on the Hyphy movement that’s so big in The Bay right now?

The Hyphy movement is gonna take the world by storm. It’s right now, man. It’s doing it in motion right now. It’s undeniable. We never cared so much, if the world was going to love us for our movement or not, we are having fun in our own environment. We want the world to embrace the Hyphy movement, because really and truly, we (are) from a soil called the Bay Area where we get bypassed like the surgery. They look over us. And we (are) the trend setters. We where everything come form. All the lingo, the swagger, the independent rap-game hustle, sellin’ tapes out the trunk of a car, ya smell me? There’s a lot of great talent in the Bay. Long as we feel like we’re having fun amongst ourselves, we gon’ keep on being hyphy. We want the world to come along because hyphy is high-energy music, it’s up-tempo, it’s party music no matter what. No matter where it’s from it‘s party music. Hyphy could be from Boise, Idaho. If it was in Boise, Idaho and made your head bob and you dancing to it, it’s music. You can’t deny it. You know what I mean? The whole movement is a whole different situation. You know about the whole movement: the cars, the lingo, the stunna-shades, the dreadlocks, the hyphy train, the sideshows, the music that makes the youngsters and cats do the hyphy dance, ya smell me? It’s like 50-100 different phases of the dance. Anybody can be hyphy man. Just let yourself go. It’s high energy. It’s the cousin of crunk, we just more up tempo. And it’s good music man. It’s party music. We hyphy!

Aside from the aforementioned Lil Jon, who are some other artists who will be featured on the album?

We got my Sik-Wid-It umbrella. We got B-Legit on there. We got Turf Talk. We got Al Capone up out of Memphis, Tennesee makin’ easy money, pimpin’ hoes in style. We got Basco, Mike Jones, 8-Ball, Bun-B, Pimp-C of UGK, Juelz Santana, T-Pain and we got Too Short. We on there actin’ a rectum man. It’s a wonderful piece of work man. The album is a monster!
