Yuk interview

[ABN]

WorldWideConnected.com: What was your childhood like?

Man, I grew up at the project and struggling on welfare. You know section A living with my mom and my little sister. We got kicked out the project and ended up living homeless for a while. Grandma, auntie and everything, man. I did it all. I ended up with my big sister so I seen the better side of life… and with my father, my father was a hustler and moms was like a wino so when my pops came got me he’d take me over to Frisco where he had his condo and shit. He had a lot of money so I got the bad side and the good side. But at the end of the day I ended up living with my sister since my father was going to jail so much and couldn’t take care of me cause he was being locked up. So I ended up living with my older sister and from there on is how I learned to hustle. My big sister was hustling, ya feel me? So I learned to cook… chop it, rock it, bag it, ya know? It was hustle 101 at the crib. So I learned how to hustle and took that to do my own hustle, yadaddamean? It got me clothes, tennis shoes and all the shit that I wanted, you know for highschool, but after a while I started wanting shit all the time for myself and when they didn’t get it for me I was mad so I was like “Fuck this I’m gonna get on my hustle and get my own shit”. So I started hustling and started doubling up. I started working for my cousin… I met Numbskull in junior high and I got him on to it. He started hustling for me. It was basically all my lil n*ggas out of junior high. I ended up going to juvenile hall, jail, in 8th grade. I got out after 3 days and shit… back out there hustling again. Then I got caught about 3 years later in 11th grade. They made me do a year in a youth camp That’s when I started rapping – when I was in that youth camp.

WorldWideConnected.com: How old were you?

I was 17 when I got in and 18 when I got out a year later.

WorldWideConnected.com: So you knew Numbskull from before you were rapping in Junior High then?

Yeah. Me and Numbskull met and rapped together in Junior High while I was living with my sister. At the same time we were rapping, I turned him on to the hustle aswell, ya know?

WorldWideConnected.com: So was it a natural thing when you started the group then?

I mean we basically started from junior highschool. I met Numb and he was already in a group called B.W.P., Brothers With Potential. They was doing all the little talent shows and at lunch time they’d be rapping in front of the whole school and shit like that. I was just a cartoonist. I was the artist at the school but I was playing with rap and rhyming and shit at the crib. I drew their logo and shit… I drew them rapping and shit in cartoon form. I became cool with them like that and they wanted me in the clique. In B.W.P. So after that I just stared writing my raps. I was seeing them n*ggas doing it so I wanted to see what I could do. When I came I wasn’t that raw. I mean I was okay, but Numbskull was the rawest mothaf*cka in the group. After junior high everybody end up going to different high schools and the other members of B.W.P did so we ended up not f*cking with them. Me and Numb were the only ones that stayed in contact when we got to high school. So eventually… Me and Numb were just hustling in high school. We were like “fuck rap, we hustlin’”. But when I went to jail and did a year is when I got back and tried to rhyme. I was like “fuck this hustlin’ shit” and I started taking this rap shit seriously. I drew the Looney condom and logo and came with the name. I wrote “Ice cream man” and all that shit in jail. Rigged it up. I got out and I called the best mothaf*cka I knew from high school – Numb. So I called him and was like “Yo I got this idea for a group called the Looney Toons, here goes the logo. I’mm be Yukmouth and you be Numbskull” and everything. And he said “Yo I’m with it. Let’s do it”. So we started rapping and it started off slow so we went back to hustling because we had to pay bills, ya feel me? So we’re back on the grind and shit. And a drought had happened. You know a drought is when there ain’t no coke, you can’t buy no coke or the coke is hot. So during the drought we couldn’t find no coke. I called my sister because she was a hustler and asked for a connection. We went over there and it happened to be a n*gga that we’d seen in a Too $hort video. So we were like “Ok we wanna buy this coke but on an other side of things we rap man. Can you introduce us to Too $hort man?” He was like “Ok man, let me hear what you got.” So I buzzed “Ice Cream Man” and as soon as I buzz that he was like “Oh fuck $hort, man, I’mma put ya’ll out. I got my artist Dru Down and he’s about to come out. He just need a couple more songs so I’ll throw ya’ll on that and then we’ll put ya’ll shit out.” We got a deal at the round table. A lot of people get deals through demos and talent shows but we got a deal trying to buy some coke. It’s real when you look at our G-file. Especially at my G-file. So that’s how we got signed.

WorldWideConnected.com: Did you havfe plans back then to go solo or was it all about the group?

Nah I wasn’t thinking about going solo. I was solo in jail but when I got out I was always thinking about the group. I was just now starting to write and writing three verses was just too much for me at that time. So I was like “Let’s just get a group and this and that dude can write their verses and I can just write my verse and the song is done”, yaddadamean. That’s what I was doing. I was just a beginner still. Even though I had hot lyrics and shit I was still a beginner. It was becoming a headache to write that fucking long. That’s why I needed a group.

WorldWideConnected.com: Allright, man. I’m gonna say an album title and you say whatever comes to your mind. What happened at the time or whatever you wanna say.

Ok. Allright.

WorldWideConnected.com: Operation Stackola.

Man that was the shit. The shit that started everything off for me and The Luniz. That was a gold mine album right there. We was on the grind struggling, hustling, and that brought the best out of it. Being in a struggle and so eager to be in the industry. That album was off the hook.

WorldWideConnected.com: Allright. And then came Lunitik Muzik.

Lunitik Muzik I think we got Hollywood with that shit. I think we had so much money and we started losing focus.

WorldWideConnected.com: Didn’t you change your name to Smoke-A-Lot on that album?

Yeah we were Smoke-A-Lot and Drink-A-Lot on that album.

WorldWideConnected.com: So why did you change it back after that album?

That was our nicknames always in the hood. I was Smoke-A-Lot and Numbskull was Drink-A-Lot because he drink a lot and I smoke a lot of dro. So we were like “Fuck it. You’re Numbskull and I’m Yukmouth. You’re Drink-A-Lot and I’m Smoke-A-Lot. That’s our code names”. So we changed that on the second album to let the world know what our code names was. Like Tony whatever-the.fuck-his.name.is… Tony Sparks or whatever. Tony from the Wu Tang. I met the man. His name is Method Man, his name is… he got all types of code names. It’s like that. We had to let the world know our code names, ya feel me?

WorldWideConnected.com: Ok. And then you released Thugged Out.

Yeah. Thugged Out. That’s the beginning of Yuk, man. That’s the beginning of me letting the world know who really Yukmouth is, man. Ya know?

WorldWideConnected.com: Yea. Thug Lord…

Ah man… Me just hustlin’, man. Me trying to put my dudes on. My group on. As you can see I got The Regime on there, I got C-Bo on there. I got everybody I’m fuckin’ with on there trying to put everybody on and starting my label and get my group poppin, The Regime.

WorldWideConnected.com: How was the step when you went from being in a group to going solo?

It was better money, but still more stressful because at the end of the day you’re still on stage by yourself huffin’ and puffin’ trying to sing all them raps. It’s a good thing but it’s a bad thing too because it’s lonely at the top, ya know what I mean? It’s lonely being solo but in a group everything is great, man. Sometimes it’s hard working as a group because there are different emotions to deal with, yaddadamean. A dude can feel this way one day and you can feel that way one day and you won’t make good music. When you’re solo it’s more control. It’s a little bit better, I think.

WorldWideConnected.com: Ok. Moving back to the albums… I was searching the net and I found an album with you and a group called The Gamblaz or something like that… It was called “Block shit”…

What? Nah that ain’t nothing I released, man. That was some compilation that came out… That ain’t official Yukmouth shit.

WorldWideConnected.com: Yeah what do you think about that, there’s a lot of albums that…

I ain’t even listened to that album that much, you feel me? It just came out under my nose.

WorldWideConnected.com: Ok. There are other examples too. An album got your name on it and it’s not you releasing it.

Man that shit is straight crime. Criminal shit. That’s sheisty shit and I don’t get down like that. I sell a song or 2 or 3 and they turn those 2 or 3 songs and buy some other songs that you did for some other people and put a whole fucking album together and put that mothaf*cka out. I’m like “Damn how the fuck did that happen. I just did 2 or 3 verses with you and now a mothafucka put out a whole album on me?” Just blew my mind. But at the end of the day them n*ggaz gonna be punished. At the end of the day you take food outta my mouth and food outta my babys mouth and that ain’t good.

WorldWideConnected.com: Allright. Silver & Black

The reunion of The Luniz. Trying to get that chemistry back together, ya know?

WorldWideConnected.com: And then you released the compilation United Ghettos of America.

Yeah man. The start of my label Smoke-A-Lot Records. I had to come with the ultimate compilation because I know so many rappers so I threw ‘em on the comp. Then the DVD was me travelling around the states putting some of those favourite hiphop artists on there so yeah that’s the beginning of my independency.

WorldWideConnected.com: How did you come up with the name?

My homeboy Mac Minister gave me a ministry and he was like “Yukmouth! You’re the bad man of United Ghettos Of America” woo woo woo. He gave me a ministry, ya know what I mean, so I thought “that’s gonna be the title of my DVD” because I travel all around America and I’m in the ghettos too. And it’s United. I’m uniting with everybody, so it’s a perfect title.

WorldWideConnected.com: Allright. And then you released the solo album Godzilla.

Godzilla! Yes yes yes! The seasoned Yuk! The Yukmouth coming back to the smooth Luniz voice. The first two albums was the grimy mad voice. The angry voice. So that’s the beginning of the smooth Yuk coming back to the Luniz Yuk.

WorldWideConnected.com: What made you do that?

A lot of people was complaining like they didn’t know what I was saying or like a lot of mothaf*ckas getting irritated but then a lot of mothaf*ckas loved it so when I did that they were like “Man Yuk why’d you stop with the grimy shit” so it’s the ying and yang. Some people will like it and some people won’t.

WorldWideConnected.com: So what do you do at the moment?

On Million Dollar Mouth Piece I’m doing both styles. I’m doing grimey, the light voice, everything… I’mma let em see everything. I’m harmonizing on shit… I make all my hooks, you feel me? Even if I have someone singing on it or if I’m on the hook it’s a million dollar mouth piece. I’m seasoned, ya feel me? I came up with the vibe of the hook. I’m a hook specialist. I make dope hooks.

WorldWideConnected.com: Ok. After Godzilla you released UGA 2.

Yeah. Steppin’ it up. The first one was a step in stone. The second one was superb. I had more artists and I was going to more places. I got more exclusive shit and it’s filled with more quality… and it’s edited better so… And the music was better. I had bigger name artists like Bun B, Nuoriega… I got some big names.

WorldWideConnected.com: Yeah. And you released “In thugz we trust” with C-Bo.

Yes yes! That’s the Thug Lordz. Me and C-Bo as a mothaf*ckin group. We been mashin’ for years and we finally put the album out and let em know what’s really rockin’.

WorldWideConnected.com: How’d you hook up with C-Bo?

I hooked up with him some time in 99 in a studio session… Naw I really met him in the Luni days. Around the “I got 5 on it” day. He had an office out there in Oakland. West coast mafia had an office out there in Oakland so we met back then but weren’t folks we weren’t cool we weren’t chillin. We just met. That was like 97 or 96. Then in about 99 I saw him again and exchanged numbers and shit. We started fuckin’ with eachother and started bounding. I mean like really fuckin’ with eachother on some best friend shit. Then we were like “Yo man let’s form a group. Let’s do a group me and you. Like Redman and Method Man.” I came up with the name Thug Lordz and he was like “Yeah let’s rock it.” That was in 2000 yaddadamean. Bo been in and out of jail and we’ve been trying to get deals at other places and shit and we finally dropped that shit on Rap-A-Lot in 2003. It took a lot tho. Three years where Bo was locked up two of the years and one of the years we recorded that shit and put it out on Rap-A-Lot.

WorldWideConnected.com: All Out War Vol 1… The mixtape.

All out war! The mixtape! Shittin’ on n*ggaz, man! The beginning of All Out War came when The Game did the diss track on me. He did the “5 on it” diss track and I made my response. I ain’t even a mixtape-dude. I put out real albums and compilations, but I did my lil mixtape song to get back at him and then I did the second one with the video and I saw how much response and how much impact it did so I was like “Fuck it we’re gonna do a mixtape. All Out War. We’ll put our shit on there and see what people think.” And at the same time promote and get a buzz on my group The Regime before we come out. So we dropped the Part 1 and it was very successful, man. It did numbers! You know we were like “Fuck that we gotta hurry up and get the part 2 out!” So… We didn’t rush it tho. We did it professional, ya feel me? We got some other shit from other people that’s dissin’ the G-Unit dissin’ whoever that we’re dissin’ and fed it to mothafuckas and they’re eating it up. So it’s definitely off the hook, man. It’s the beginning of The Regime, man. Letting ‘em know that we’re coming.

WorldWideConnected.com: What’s the difference when you make a mixtape compared to when you make an album?

A mixtape is quicker. An album you’ve got to track down artists to get on songs and track down producers… A mixtape you’re taking other peoples songs and you download that off of the computer and rock! And also, there’s like a 3 month turnaround on an album after you turn it in. A mixtape you can turn that mothafucka in and as fast as it’s printed up that’s how fast it can come out. Within weeks that shit’s on shelves, compared to 3 months. So it’s a big difference, man. A mixtape is to put it on the streets faster.

WorldWideConnected.com: Ok. We’re gonna get to the Million Dollar Mouthpiece album in the second part of the interview. This part is mainly about the past…

Right.

WorldWideConnected.com: You had beef with Too $hort for a while. How did that happen?

That came from us being in the same clique. With the Dru Down album we recorded that whole album in the Dangerous Studios and we were all a big family but then something happened between our executive producer and Too $hort so they split up and stopped fuckin’ with eachother so us being rappers we’re gonna take our executive producers side. He can’t rap, so we started dissing the n’gga and $hort started dissing us. It really was some shit that we had nothing to do with, but us being on that label and us being down with the n*gga putting up money for us. We was riding like “fuck that man”. N*gga going against the grain so f*ck em. So that’s how that started but it was really over nothing so that’s why we got together and made the song “Funkin over nothing” because the beef with over nothing! It didn’t have shit to do with The Lunix. It was between him and our executive producer and it should’ve stayed like that.

WorldWideConnected.com: Ok. And now you have beef with 50 Cent and the whole G-Unit camp. How did that start?

Same shit, man. Me ridin’ for my executive producer, man. J Prince, ya know what I mean. He’s riding with Irv Gotti and them so that’s our family ya know? If Prince ride with ‘em we ride with ‘em. They started dissing Irv and them and Prince didn’t like it so he called me like “Yo ride on them n*ggaz” cuz I’m a rida. I’ve been ridin’ on n*ggaz since I signed to Rap-A-Lot. He got on me like “Hey man get on them dudes” and I’ve been on em ever since. Murdering them.

WorldWideConnected.com: Hehe yeah. But how about the beef with The Game. Did you squash that beef?

Yeah we just now recently squashed that beef a couple of months ago because my homie Eastwood over there got a group called the MOB. He called me on the 3-way with The Game and we basically squashed our differences man like “fuck the bullshit”.

WorldWideConnected.com: Ok. Because you squashed it before and then he kind of dissed you again..

Yeah that was the first time and that wasn’t an official squash because it was like a middle man type of thing where a middle man said “hey do a verse and you do a verse and squash it for the hiphop fans”. So I did my verse and got it to the middle man and he got him [The Game] on the verse just shittin’ on me! He played a game of chess, ya know what I mean, but right now it’s serious. He don’t evfen want no beef in his back yard. He’s gonna focus on 50 and them.

WorldWideConnected.com: So the tracks on All Our War 2… Were they recorded before you two squashed your beef or what?

Oh way before. The mixtape was being pressed when I got on the phone with him so I was like “Yo I got shit coming out.” He was like “We got shit coming out too”. You know we did the Beef 3 together shittin’ on eachother so that’s gonna come out but us officially knowing that we squashed it and no more new shit coming out…

WorldWideConnected.com: Haha ok…

Yeah man there’s new shit coming out. As far as All Out War Vol 3, we ain’t shitting on Game or anything but Volume 2 got recorded before we squashed the beef. Way before.

WorldWideConnected.com: So is there any chance there’ll be a Yuk and Game diss track to G-Unit?

Oh shit you never know, man. You never know.

WorldWideConnected.com: How was The Regime created?

Ah shit just me travelling from state to state and picking the hottest rappers that came and rapped in my motherf*ckin’ face and my ear and putting them down in my clique. The Regime started like in -97 on “Killaz on the payroll” for The Luniz album. The members on that were Poppa LQ, Techn9ne, Yukmouth… There were other members, I rather not say their names, but umm Diesel Don, Governor Matic. We started “The Regime”. I came up with the name looking at old Hitler movies and shit when I was in the living room. They’d be saying like “When the Hitler Regime had taken over this and that and sent them to the concentration”, yaddadamean. Every time his army had strike something they said the regime did it. So I was like “Damn we’re The Regime then cuz we stormin’ shit and taking shit over. We come to war, n*gga. Yaddadamean! If ya’ll don’t give it to us we’re gonna take it”. Straight up. So I came with the name and formed the group with my n*gga Techn9ne, you know he’s from the Midwest, and D Don and Governor Matic from the east coast. Doracel is from down south and me, Poppa LQ, Monsta Ganjah, Young Dru, Dru Down, D-Black, Messy Marv, Young Skrilla… Up to Messy Marv we all from the west, man. It’s a big clique of young black entrepreneurs. Most of the n*ggaz in The Regime got their own shit poppin’. It’s a clique of young black entrepreneurs from state to state. From east to west to down south all together mobbin’.

WorldWideConnected.com: Allright. We gonna talk about the upcoming album from the Regime in part 2 aswell.

Fo’ sho’.

WorldWideConnected.com: What made you decide to sign with Rap-A-Lot?

Shit I didn’t decide. They decided on me. Rap-A-Lot came and got me, man. J Prince came for me. My homeboy Rico was A&R up there and my homie Tone Capone that made the “I got 5 on it” beat was all up in J Prince’s ear like “You need to sign Yuk, man. Yuk hot. He the hottest n*gga in the Luniz, man.” So J Prince came to a studio session when I was there by myself lacin hot shit and he was like “Damn man you can do this shit by yourself. You don’t need your homeboys, man. And your name’s Smoke-A-Lot so you need to be at Rap-A-Lot.” I was like “Man you right. You the first n*gga to offer me a solo deal.” So I took it.

WorldWideConnected.com: Do you think you’re gonna stick with Rap-A-Lot?

Ah man right now for my solo shit definitely, but people get older and relationships get old and new relationships get better so you never know, man…

WorldWideConnected.com: Ok. So what was your relationship with Tupac?

I wasn’t like Pac’s best friend of Pac homeboy. I just knew Pac like he calling Yukmouth and go chill somewhere. They still was older than me. He was more kickin’ it with cousins… like Richie Rich… the older guys. I was a young dude so… But I was always around dude and shit like that. But then right before he passed I started seeing him a lot. Started fuckin’ with em and smokin’ with em and shit like that.

WorldWideConnected.com: Ok. A lot of people go and do tracks with him today. I mean the last 2pac album was with Eminem and 50 Cent and shit like that. What do you think would’ve been different if he would’ve been alive today?

He would never have been fuckin’ with Eminem or 50 Cent. He’d be ridin’ on both them mothafuckas. Straight up! On some black panther shit and on some 50 Cent emulating him. He wouldn’t fuck with them dudes, man, and then they’re on Interscope too. He definitely would’ve gone against that. Man… I’m the king of Interscope, haha. Pac would definitely go against that. Thay’d have problems right now if Pac was alive. His album definitely wouldn’t have been produced by Eminem and there wouldn’t be no G-Unit 50 Cent on it. You’d have C-Bo, Richie Rich, yaddadamean. He would’ve had his Outlawz n*ggaz on there, ya feel me? The n*ggaz he was really fuckin’ with. He wasn’t even fuckin’ with Dre before he died. He was beefin’ with Dre saying Dre was a faggot! And Dre didn’t produce any tracks of his album except for one or two and he was taking all the producer credits. Pac was mad at Dre, man. Pac was part of the reason why Dre and Suge Knight split up! Dre was scared to come back to the studio!

WorldWideConnected.com: Yeah and Dre was gonna stop making rap and start making jazz and stuff like that…

Yeah! He was completely like “fuck rap” because Pac. Pac was on his ass, man! Still up till this day Pac would hate Dre and everything he brought to the table. Period. A lot of that shit wouldn’t be rockin’.

WorldWideConnected.com: There was a rumour about a label started by Suge Knight, J Prince and Irv Gotti.

Yeah. That’s still in the making. I heard about that and I think that’s very true. I mean the first black distribution company ever… So I think they’re about to come together and make that happen. I think there’s a lot of complications and shit… I really don’t know what’s going down. It’s definitely going down. I’ve seen albums, ya know what I mean. I definitely know about a Face and Tupac album coming out called “Face to Face” and it’s done. It’s definitely in the mix.

WorldWideConnected.com: Ok. You being on the West Coast and Rap-A-Lot from the south and now with these plans and everything… Do you have any contact with Suge?

Yeah I fuck with Suge. I fuck with Suge and Irv Gotti. They all family with Rap-A-Lot. Straight up.

WorldWideConnected.com: Ok. At what point did you decide to run your own label?

I’ve been wanting to run my own label. I knew that before I started The Regime. I knew that before I had my solo deal. I wanted to do Smoke-A-Lot Records. It’s always been Smoke-A-Lot Records from the gate with The Luniz. As soon as I got the opportunity to do so, I did it.

WorldWideConnected.com: Everybody know about the beef with Master P and why it got started and all that… but if Master P approached you today wanting to squash the beef, would you do that?

Yeah of course man, that beef is old. I been wanting to squash that shit. It ain’t that serious. He stole something from me and I just want an apology. You know like “I’m sorry for stealing your shit and not paying ya’ll or not even acknowledging ya’ll.” That’s what I want, man, an apology. That was his first album to go platinum and he should be thanking us. He should send us a nickel and be like “I love ya’ll. That’s for making me that 10 mill”, you feel me? Not even something. A hundred! Like “Here’s hundred for you, a hundred for Numb and a hundred for the executive producer and I love ya’ll for that concept”. We didn’t get none of that.So that’s all on the spectrum, yaddadamean? It ain’t like I wanna beat the n*gga ass or nothing like that but shit if it came down to it and he send his goons on me and I send his goons on him you never know what gonna happen. We gonna defend ourselves definitely.

WorldWideConnected.com: Yeah.

But anything’s squashable, man. Even the 50 beef. Everything is squashable.

WorldWideConnected.com: How did the death of Mac Dre affect you?

Oh my god it fucking killed me man. Not just me, it killed the whole Bay. It’s a black eye for the Bay Area. He was bringing the light back to the Bay.

WorldWideConnected.com: Are there any plans of making a tribute song or something like that?

I got a lot of footage but that’s gonna come out on UGA 3. I got some verses stashed that I’m gonna release.

WorldWideConnected.com: Ok. You’ve worked with a lot of artists now and in the past. Who’s the favourite artists to work with for you?

It’s got to be… shit… It’s got to be out of Redman and… Devin The Dude. Cuz they smoke like me… Oh and B-Legit. Haha we all smoke like a mothaf*cka.

WorldWideConnected.com: Hehe ok. How’d you hook up with bang’Em Smurf and Domination?

One of my homeboys that know Fredro Starr… Fredro Starr was with them guys when they came to Cali… They needed some help to get a deal so I linked them up with J Prince. I was introduced to Bang’Em first and then Domination. I tried to help them make a situation, ya know what I mean? So we just started rapping… They had beef with 50 and we had beef with 50 and everything was just cool ya know? It was right on time.

WorldWideConnected.com: Are you gonna be on their upcoming album?

Yeah I’m definitely on it. Me and Z-Ro.

WorldWideConnected.com: Are there any artists that you haven’t worked with yet that you wanna work with?

Yeah ofcourse. Jay-Z, Nas… I wanna work with Stevie Wonder, Snoop Dogg, Pharell, Mariah Carey… There are so many artists, yaddadamean? Janet Jacksson. I’d love to do a song with her. There are just so many I could name it’s ridiculous.

WorldWideConnected.com: Allright. You’ve been touring a lot world wide. Do you have any tour planned for the near future?

Right now we’re gonna do the Million Dollar Mouth Piece tour definitely. We’re gonna hit the whole West Coast up and the South. A lot of the times I’ve hit the West and Midwest up but this time we’re going down South. I want to touch on everybody. Uh-huh.

WorldWideConnected.com: Rap-A-Lot just signed with Warner bros for distribution…

Yeah yeah Asylum.

WorldWideConnected.com: Is that deal gonna make any difference to you?

Hell fucking yes! First of all before that we were doing all that shit by ourselves. Rap-A-Lot was pressing up our own shit, distributing our own shit. That shit’s hard, man. Us being a black independent label. But now we have backing behind us. People that’s gonna put us everywhere and give us the budget that we need. So shit, it’s definitely better man for the whole Rap-A-Lot. We’re gonna get that shine we need.

property of www.worldwideconnected.com aka Yukmouth´s official unofficial web site. damn what the fuck is up with them not asking him any hard questions? the interview just looks like a fan Q & A with their favorite artist. and where´s the questions about the whole Spider incident etc?

[No Compute]

He wasn’t even fuckin’ with Dre before he died. He was beefin’ with Dre saying Dre was a faggot! And Dre didn’t produce any tracks of his album except for one or two and he was taking all the producer credits. Pac was mad at Dre, man. Pac was part of the reason why Dre and Suge Knight split up! Dre was scared to come back to the studio!

That's bullshit. Dre had already stopped going to the Death Row offices before 2Pac joined Death Row he stayed up in the studio in his house. I don't remember Dre ever claiming to have produced 2Pac's album and Dre didn't even want to have tracks on 2Pac's album.

Yeah ofcourse. Jay-Z, Nas… I wanna work with Stevie Wonder, Snoop Dogg, Pharell, Mariah Carey… There are so many artists, yaddadamean? Janet Jacksson. I’d love to do a song with her. There are just so many I could name it’s ridiculous.

Yo props for the interview, even though ive already read it before.. But good to see other peeps looking out for Yuk releated interviews n shit...
and yeah that interviewer wernt the best, he needed to evolve some of his questions and all... I personally wanted to hear more about Numb, cos i know Yuk n Numb have re-formed The Luniz again for the Project "Operation Skrillion"...      But i dont know too much regardin it

^^^if it affects his music it is

[WestCoasta]

He wasn’t even fuckin’ with Dre before he died. He was beefin’ with Dre saying Dre was a faggot! And Dre didn’t produce any tracks of his album except for one or two and he was taking all the producer credits. Pac was mad at Dre, man. Pac was part of the reason why Dre and Suge Knight split up! Dre was scared to come back to the studio!

[youngmessnucca]

WorldWideConnected.com: You had beef with Too $hort for a while. How did that happen?

That came from us being in the same clique. With the Dru Down album we recorded that whole album in the Dangerous Studios and we were all a big family but then something happened between our executive producer and Too $hort so they split up and stopped fuckin’ with eachother so us being rappers we’re gonna take our executive producers side. He can’t rap, so we started dissing the n’gga and $hort started dissing us. It really was some shit that we had nothing to do with, but us being on that label and us being down with the n*gga putting up money for us. We was riding like “fuck that man”. N*gga going against the grain so f*ck em. So that’s how that started but it was really over nothing so that’s why we got together and made the song “Funkin over nothing” because the beef with over nothing! It didn’t have shit to do with The Lunix. It was between him and our executive producer and it should’ve stayed like that.

WorldWideConnected.com: Ok. And now you have beef with 50 Cent and the whole G-Unit camp. How did that start?

Same shit, man. Me ridin’ for my executive producer, man. J Prince, ya know what I mean. He’s riding with Irv Gotti and them so that’s our family ya know? If Prince ride with ‘em we ride with ‘em. They started dissing Irv and them and Prince didn’t like it so he called me like “Yo ride on them n*ggaz” cuz I’m a rida. I’ve been ridin’ on n*ggaz since I signed to Rap-A-Lot. He got on me like “Hey man get on them dudes” and I’ve been on em ever since. Murdering them.

lolllllllll this nigga here is retarded as hell...

how come the too short beef is sumthin he should've never got involved in..shouldnt that apply the 50 beef as well... kuz this is beef doesnt have nuthin 2 do with him or lil j...

if you would have read that interview maybe you'd noticed that this was the first part! without knowing better i'm sure that question bout spider loc is questioned on the second part. and yeah actually the questions were mainly from fans..
