Just kind of always thought U-Neek was Bone's producer and didn't realize till today that Yella produced on their breakthrough EP Creepin On A Come Up -- including he produced "Foe the Love of Money" which was a track that had already been released in o.g form by Yella and Jewell for some group in 1991 that I'd never heard of with a strange name Yomo and Maulkin?? How come none of this has ever been mentioned?? How did Jewell get clearance to appear on the Bone album during the middle of the Death Row Eazy E beef?

It's been mentioned many times over the past 30 years. Pretty common knowledge if you were a Ruthless fan. Yomo and Maulkie is the group, Are You Experienced is the album. But still cool you learned something new today. I was pretty pumped when i first found out about it back in 1996. Neat little fact that in the height of the Ruthless/Death Row beef, Jewell, one of Death Row's artists, was on a Ruthless album.

It’s great to see all these young gunz discovering classic west coast rap history for the first time. Like the other dude said, you should really take a dive into The Whole ruthless catalog.

The way Ruthless was signing artists didn’t really make sense to me. They got some surprising names and a lot of acts we never heard from that aren’t even from the gangsta rap or even rap genre that were signed to Ruthless

Eazy was a visionary. He wanted Ruthless to be much more than a gangster rap label. Bone and Eazy’s next album getting into the occult subject matter was way ahead of its time. Eazy was a big horror fan.

Black Eyed Peas were also signed to Ruthless under the name ATBAN Klann you should check their album if you have a chance it was recorded in 1993/1994 and kinda sounds like a westcoast Tribe Called Quest.

Mo from the group was Maulkie, Cube subbed him on to replace J-Dee as the Lench Mob lead rapper on 'Planet Of the Apes'.
Can ya all believe it, Yellas' version of 'Love for Money' is superior to Dre's.

Do you think Dre had to go through Yella or Bone for the sample?
…I think both are great but I give the nod to the Bone version as well but more so because that was Bone in their prime.
-
The reason this exist is because Death Row Records artists were bouncing between Ruthless Records and Death Row Records/Interscope Records. Rhythm D did this, Jewell did, MC Ren, and Above The Law did this too. He only had left Michel'le in contract, Dre Vocals, DJ Yella - so that's the era of where this really comes from.

He would of had to go through Tomica Wright as she owns all of the ruthless catlog. D.o.c shouts at yomo&mulkie at the end of grand finale in 1989
So they go that far back so dre may of heard yella make the o.g love of money will Jewel.
It's cool to go back and listen to the classics I only just found out Warren g is one doing the m.a.d skit on niggaz4life.

Yeah, Warren is the one on the jail house phone skit calling his woman. Prettty funny. Once Regulate came out and Warren popped off, then i realized it was him on that skit.

interesting.. gonna go check that out now... makes you wonder how far they were from having Warren, Snoop, Dogg Pound and all that under the Ruthless Banner if Eazy and Jerry would've handed Dre whatever he was asking for. Then who knows maybe Suge would've just been like a bodyguard or something for Ruthless...
...it's an interesting alternative rap universe thought experiment, I'll do a thread on the subject of alternative rap universes

Yeah, wouldn't surprise me at all if Dre ended up signing Warren to Ruthless if he would've stuck around. Very interesting to think about indeed. Not sure where Snoop would've ended up or if he would've become anything without Dre recruiting him in the war with Eazy. To me, he's the wild card. Dre was desperate and needed new talent for Death Row. He might've signed Snoop to Ruthless but he would've been on his own. He may have blown up, or may have been another Steffon or Yomo and Maulkie where Dre produced one song for his album and that was it and faded off into the sunset after that.

Nah homie, it seems like Snoop was like right there. I mean he like had earlier auditions for Dre. Not like an official audition but you know just like hanging around and Warren being like, "yo snoop he cold" and then if at any point Snoop woulda brought his A game Dre would've been down and taken him on like DOC
