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."
