Ryan Lochte has certainly embraced some aspects of hip-hop, his iced out grill was certainly one indicator and his catch phrase, “jeah” being another key point. Unfortunately, he may not have been a student of the history behind it. Lochte is attempting to trademark “jeah” **blank stare** but a west coast rap vet wants him to rethink that.
MC Eiht of the rap group “Compton’s Most Wanted” and one of the starts of 90’s urban classic, “Menace to society” wants the Gold medalist to recognize that he’s been saying “jeah” since the 90’s.
Lochte’s manager said the swimmer has been saying it for years and has never heard of the rapper… All of this so you can put “jeah” on a t-shirts and stuff. Le sigh.
Check the video for Straight up Menace from the “Menace to Society” soundtrack… “Jeah” is like the second word out of his mouth. Watch the profanity
