SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — E-40 turned NFL Honors into a hyphy detour, firing off Bay Area slang that helped shape a generation as actor Tiffany Haddish and Carolina Panthers rookie Tetairoa McMillan danced from their seats and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce nodded along to the beat.Moments earlier, Too $hort transformed the same stage into a Bay Area time capsule, running through anthems like “Gettin' It” and “Blow the Whistle” that have echoed from car stereos, clubs and arenas for decades.
