I'm so hyfie . . .

So I haven't blogged in a while because I was waiting for confirmation on this theory I had. However, I am very impatient so I'm just going to put it out there.

There is this song that's been playing on Atl radio stations recently which i believe is the unofficial anthem of the California version of crunk called "hyfie," which I don't even know if I'm spelling correctly. I first learned of hyfie during an MTV newsbrief where Sway went to "the streets" of the bay area and asked young people to define and dance "hyfie." It looked a hot mess! It looked like people imitating people who don't know how to dance. It reminded me of an episode of flash forward where Tucker and the gang trick a sociologist into believing that there is a secret teenage world and language that adults know nothing about. I would love for it to be discovered later that these kids played the ultimate prank on MTV by pretending that the "hyfie" craze was real.

Theory debunked: the song is called "ICY" not hyfie, although i suppose that's a good thing. hyfie catching on would be real weird.

Hey Moya
Peace Queen. I do not know if you remember me, but I e-mailed you on aol(Queenashiax). Anyway, my school had Bakari Kitwana here yesterday and a student asked what did he think about you, and he did not have too many nice things to say about you. Do you two have any inside beef? What do you think about Kitwana? Take it easy Queen!
