Oakland California is a city that has numerous names most of them are not good but one thing that Oakland is famous for is the “Hyphy Movement”. Hyphy is when a group of people teens or young adults are together and dance bay area dance; crump and “gig”. the hyphy movement is when it starts to go global. There are songs that are played such as: “tell me when to go “, “cup cake no fillin’” or “im shinin’” most likely sung by underground artist. Artist like E-40(that has gone mainstream) “the trunk boys” and “the pack” all are artist that contribute to the songs in the hyphy movement. All theses songs and artist have gone globe due to the hyphy movement. Teens in Oakland said that they are happy to be from the town that the hyphy movement has originated and glad to rep where they’re from when there out side of Oakland even though the bad history that outsiders have heard. So even though Oakland isn’t the best city in California the youth are glad to be from here as should the rest of the citizens because Oakland isn’t as bad as people say it is. I’ve been living in Oakland for fourteen years and not a single run in with danger. So for those outsiders next time you come to Oakland ask somebody.
