Remember the Time: The Hyphy Movement

MUSIC HISTORY
UPDATED BIWEEKLY

In the mid-2000’s a sound emerged out of the Bay Area that would overtake the sonic landscape of hip-hop for a brief but impactful period showcasing not only the music, but also the overall culture of the Bay Area. A culture that changed the way the hip-hop nation danced, dressed, spoke, and even drove their cars. The Lil Jon produced, E-40 helmed smash “Tell Me When to Go” accurately summed up the surface of the Hyphy movement as a music and culture, but the origin is much deeper. Without the independent nature of the Bay Area, Hyphy could have never existed. In Remember the Time: The Hyphy Movement, we take a deep dive into a subgenre, a movement, a culture that though short lived, still permeates across the globe to this very day, influencing some of today’s top performers. Join host, Branden J. Peters—veteran creative and California native— who has documented music, sports, and pop culture for over two decades, as he speaks with artists, executives, dancers and journalists about the impact of the Hyphy Movement.

This podcast series was so dope! It was cool to walk down memory lane of this era, while also getting some education. This music/culture was so influential to my Highschool years and early 20s. I have never been a Bay Area resident, but the Bay influences have always been very prevalent in my hometown of Fresno, Ca. Highly recommend to anyone!
The Bay Makes, The World Takes.

I love the way this series educates & celebrates the Bay. Mandatory listen for anyone from the Bay. Amazing work as always by Branden LSK. This needs to be a Netflix series.
YAY AREA!!!

This was a great introduction and history lesson on the foundation of Bay Area hip hop! Each episode continues to yield insights into a culture of thr U.S. that often is overlooked but contributed so much to Hip Hop. Ep 3 is a classic!!
Super Dope!

I’m enjoying this podcast and learning about some of the west coast hip hop culture straight from the source.
