The sound of a shotgun explosion. The word originated in 80's gang culture but first appeared in popular media when the LA rap group Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. issued their debut single “Coming Hard to America” in 1988 followed by their first album New Funky Nation in 1990. However, the term didn’t begin to receive universal popularity until fellow LA rappers Cypress Hill released their debut album Cypress Hill in 1991, which used the term “Boo-yaa” liberally and sold more than two million copies on its way to becoming one of hip-hop’s classic albums. Later, the term would become known as a general shout of exuberance.
Lettin' out a bullet, this is going boo-yaa,
you're stuck in my hood, so what ya gonna do now?
-Cypress Hill, "Hand on the Pump" (1991)
Boo-yaa! That stock is a definite buy!

Get the OH YAA mug.Is a band from Carson, California (usa)which reached the peak of it's popularity in the mid 80s. The styles they are associated with are P-funk, gangsta rap (dr dre, ice t), to rap metal (rage against the machine) composed of 6 samoans brothers who got into music when they were young in order to stay away from the gang activity in their neighbourhood. They are considered to be pioneers of a certain type of hip hop which they played with real instruments as opposed to modern computer generated production (even though they still excelled in the making of such). They also had skills for dance and put on quite a good show when on stage (most of the familly is overweight samoan gangster like and their sound has really groovy beats, check em out!). The boo Yaa T.R.I.B.E. recorded the song 911 with Eminem and B-Real (mc for Cypress Hill).
