“I remember meeting them,” DJ Yella said. “Me and Eric. We met them in Cleveland. I’m like ‘Who is these characters?’ Then by the time we got back off the road trip, they was in L.A. I’m like ‘Why are they here?’ Cause they were just singing/rapping…It was new. Just like when we came out. It was new. So, that’s why they caught on. Exactly why. Cause it wasn’t like they were trying to be us, like all this. They were thugs singing. So, it was totally different. New style, new sound. I did a couple of things on there—It just was a whole new thing…I mean, they were just like us. Just different styles. They came out ahead of the game.”
