Happy Hop is a word first used by the Romanian hip hop crew to describe the kind of music they were(and still are) making. They first made this statement when they dropped their first album in 2001. This can be considered a new rap sub-genre or a new style although it is similar to the the crossover style of Cypress Hill, Hungarian 'Comedy Rap'(see Hungarian hip hop) and to the style of D-12 and Eminem. The band's singles "Sorel and "FÇŽt-Frumos" ("Prince Charming") in particular have been said to be remarcably similar to Cypress Hill songs "Insane In The Brain" and "Doctor GreenThumb". This style(or sub-genre) features hilarious, sarcastic and unconventional songs. The emphasis is on making the audience laugh. Other crews which have a similar sarcastic style include Plus 2 and Varza("cabbage" in Romanian but also a slang word similar to "wack" in English). Plus 2 became famous with the 2005 hit "Kebabul si Shaorma"("The Kebab and the Shawarma") which satirized the Romanian people's post-communist fascination with these middle-eastern foods blaming them for an increase in obesity among the population.
