Hyphy

While the hyphy movement may not go beyond E-40's "Tell Me When To Go," (the already fading pop song that outlines all the cool aspects of the bay area, ie golden/diamond teeth (come on, Nelly already did that), spinning around in your car, running next to your car while it drives, wearing women's sunglasses and more)... another fantastic song is coming out of B-town called "Vans."

It's by a group of Berkeley High students who call themselves "The Wolfpack."

You need to get this. You can hear it online at their myspace page:

Electro-clash beat ala Trio's DA DA DA, inane lyrics about vans (who knew they were still cool?), and shout outs to B-town mean a mega hit. I hope this gets popular outside the bay.

I got to hear it recently in a stretch limosine going from San Francisco to Oakland airport with my woman and some free scotch. Bumping that in a limo going through the Bay Area with some Scottish enhancements and a naturally occurring anxiety that comes with flying was all good.

The song, on the radio station that was playing it, was followed by RBL Posse's wonderous hit "bammer weed" about the pitfalls of buying less than par marijuana. An oldy but goody.

Speaking of it's all good, go and buy Mac Mall's album Illegal Business as quickly as you can, if you love bay area. His song "my opinion" with vocoder enhancement, is one of the best rap songs ever, taking it back to Sucka MCs land with just some cool beats and one guy rapping.

Another song to listen to is called "It's All Good."

That is all for now. Thank you.
