Sample & Reference Breakdown:
- "Middle school rapper and a proud yes y'aller"-
Rap and hip-hop music can be roughly divided into two groups:
Old School and New School. The dividing line between Old and
New is hazy, but Old School generally refers to the very first
hip-hop from the late 1970's and early 80's, while New School
refers to the late 80's to today. Since the Beastie Boys emerged
in '85-86, they could be considered the "Middle School,"
neither Old nor New.
- "From the East Coast so I don't say hella" - "Hella,"
a saying mainly spoken in California (the West Coast), means
"super;" so if someone says "Hella cool,"
they mean "Super cool."
