Get hyphy and go dumb—we’re headed to the Bay Area to talk E-40. This week, Rob pays tribute to the wonderful dictionary of hip-hop slang, much of which was coined by E-40 himself. He looks back on how the hyphy movement, spearheaded by West Coast rappers Mac Dre and Keak da Sneak, made a massive impact locally even if it didn’t achieve the nationwide recognition of similar genres, like crunk. Later, Rob is joined by The Ringer’s Logan Murdock to discuss what E-40 means to the Bay Area and the legacy of hyphy.

Host: Rob Harvilla
Guest: Logan Murdock
