Title: Yukmouth - Thug Lord: The New Testament
Post by: SGV on January 03, 2004, 11:25:24 AM
After bumping this all day at work today, I've came to the conclusion that it's a real dope album. I always liked it, but never thought highly of it. It really only has a few weak cuts, Godzilla is better though. The production on this is more street, sort of one dimensional, Godzilla was more variety. Anyway though, some great verses from Yuk and some amazing guest appearances. G-Rap, LQ, TechN9ne, Kurupt, C-Bo, they all ripped it. Hardest beat is easily L.T.'s beat on "Oh Boy." That's still an anthem for me. 7 from Murder Inc had some hot shit on this, P.Killer from Ruff Ryders came with it too. L.T. and Mike Dean came hardest though. I never minded Yuk's yelling, but I'd rather him go back to the Luniz Yuk. Nonetheless, dope album.

I thought Godzilla was a VERY dope West Coast album.
And tracks like Nothin' 2 A Boss and Kidnap U had some real dope production.

This album is only good to people who like hardcore Hip Hop. That's why I said it's more one dimensional. But, Thugged Out: Tha Albulation or whatever, I didn't like. Maybe if he would've made it 1 CD, it would've been better. Double CDs almost ALWAYS suck.

Yea, I still think they need to release a video for "Kidnap U," or at least the track with Aaron Hall. I can almost bet that will blow up, with the right push. That's what's messed up. Yukmouth dropped a great album with Godzilla, it has everything a Hip Hop album needs to blow up today, and it went under the radar.

^yea, i really thought this album was gonna be the big one for yuk as a solo artist but right before it was released i knew it was gonna get slept on. Not enough promotion, "Kidnap U" should of been the 2nd single and Rap-A-Lot should of really pushed that muthafucka... It's not 2 late 2 drop that as a single now but i don't see it happening... "Nuthin' to a Boss" was also bangin' thou, the album had that comercial apeal 2 it and everything and it still got slept on...
