I'm a fan of some of the hyphy stuff. Hyphy has been going on a lot longer than the press has been recognizing it.

Rapping's a release of the good and the bad - that's the definition of hyphy. You can't be like that, you can't get hyphy in, like, a business environment. I can be me. I'm energy. Hyphy is energy.

Keak da Sneak

If I wanted to contribute to the hyphy movement, what good is it making a hyphy record that isn't embraced by that community?

DJ Shadow

I didn't invent the word 'hyphy' and I'm not trying to say I'm the king of hyphy.

E-40

The number-one thing about the hyphy isn't the sideshow or doing donuts. It's the music.

Too Short

I wrote the first draft of the New People quickly but it had been percolating a lot longer. It's a hard question to answer because I'd been working on another novel for years and when I gave up on that, this one came very easily. But I think the work had been going on a lot longer than the actual writing.

Danzy Senna

When I started making music, I was so heavy into the hyphy movement. That's something you only know so much about if you were right there living in it, submerged in the culture.

G-Eazy

There's lots of charity stuff that I can do. There are actually a million things to do here, but it would be very hard for me to stop going overseas, because I've been doing that for longer than I've been playing in the WNBA.

Sue Wicks

I grew up in Oakland, California, and there was a really active scene in the Bay Area. Everyone else knew it as the 'Hyphy Movement' of Mac Dre, E-40, and The Pack.

G-Eazy

I'm not going to say that I'm the best, we respect our champions. Floyd's been doing this a lot longer than me, he's been a lot of mega fights and I won't dare say that I'm better than Floyd Mayweather.

Andre Ward

I've been journaling longer than I've been a musician, longer than I've been an artist, longer than I've been a writer in general.

Lucy Dacus

I'm my biggest critic. I want there to be no flaws when you hear it. When I think that maybe it's ready, I just hop in my car it's gotta have some bump - and go to corner stores, youngsters on the block, play it for anyone. If they get into it, I get a reaction, the song passes the hyphy test. If it's just cool, we throw it away; it's not going on the record. But if it makes you wanna move - seriously - if it makes you react the same way I felt, then it passes.

Keak da Sneak

Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean, higher than any bird ever flew, longer than there've been stars up in the heavens, I've been in love with you.

Dan Fogelberg

We've been doing this for 10 years and it's been a hobby for a lot longer than it's been a job.

John Y. Campbell

I know that some of the folks in the press are uptight about this [moving the press corps out of the West Wing ], and I understand. What we're - the only thing that's been discussed is whether or not the initial press conferences are going to be in that small press - and for the people listening to this that don't know this, that the press room that people see on TV is very, very tiny. Forty-nine people fit in that press room.

Reince Priebus

What it means is that some of Charles' press secretaries have been better than others as some of the Queen's press secretaries have been better than others.
