Trivia[]
- Before the 1.10 update, "Cruisin'" was incorrectly credited ingame to Smokey Robinson and The Miracles, despite the fact that Robinson split from the Miracles in 1972, seven years before the song was released. The digital manual, however, had always credited "Cruisin'" solely to Smokey Robinson.
- One of the station's jingles features the opening interjection of "Le Freak" by Chic.
- The beat from El Chicano - Viva Tirado is sampled in the song La Raza by Kid Frost featured on Radio Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
- When Mama G says "If you want something to play with, go find yourself a toy", this is a reference to another Aaron Neville song "Tell It Like It Is".
- When Mama G says "I'm gonna unload both these motherfuckers!", this is a reference to the Quentin Tarantino movie "Jackie Brown", when Jackie Brown (played by Pam Grier) aims two guns at Ordell Robbie (played by Samuel L. Jackson, who also appeared in GTA San Andreas as Officer Frank Tenpenny) and says "Imma unload botha these motherfuckers if you don't do what I tell you to do."
- The beat of the song Do It (Til You're Statisfied) by B.T. Express was sampled in Addictive by Truth Hurts feat. Rakim which can be heard on West Coast Classics following The Contract update for GTA Online.
