From Stonesthrow Records' website: "Most people remember MC Eiht as the lead member of the group Comptons Most Wanted, or for his infamous MC battle with DJ Quik, or for his unforgettable role in the film ‘Menace 2 Society’ … but only the left coasters know and respect him as the originator of the phrase “Gyeah”, which has been bitten and jacked by every MC and rapper on the planet, including Jay Z."
I know a left coaster who not only knew that, but also used graphic design, and the post-modern art of media-collage to share this with the world on a CD cover in a reference that no one probably got. I know I didn't get the full understanding of the reference until just now. Clever.
Gyeah!
