Whats the meaning behind the name Yukmouth?
Nasty flow, nasty mouth. Yukmouth. Niggas used to say when your flow was nasty, shit was raw. So just nasty mouth, nasty flow. Yuk flow. Raw lyrics.
Speaking of your flow, you usually have a rugged sound, why did you decide to go back to your mellow flow on Godzilla?
I got alot of complaints, alot of fans you know. They weren't feelin the rugged shit. Alot of people was feelin the rugged shit. So you know I just balanced the shit. Do the rugged shit when It's time, on the song. And on some playa shit use the smooth voice, you know. So It's cool to be versatile, I'm givin em all of it now, not just a piece of it, all of it, you know. Godzilla, you know, stepped it up.
Do you see yourself growing as a artist, Godzilla had a different sound compared to Thug Lord and Thugged Out: The Albulation, kinda like a mixture of different sounds. Are you trying to appeal to the more mainstream fans?
Nah, nah, nah. Godzilla was just a test to see what I could do, just to try new music. All my albums is straight street. Straight for the streets, no single, no video, none of that shit. It's time I switch it up, give em a few singles and still keep it street though, you know. Stay gutter and thugged out forever.
You had a video for Nuthin 2 a Boss, right?
Defenitely. That was the kick off thing, and we was suppose to do Stuntastic, but whatever the fuck happened, shit happens. Kept it moving.
You don't plan to do any other videos for Godzilla?
Nah, I'm lettin it do It's thing. I got done with me and C-Bo album, nahmean, Thug Lordz. Just did a new video for that. Me, C-Bo and Spice 1, "Killa Cali." So look out for that. I'm just onto the next project. I don't really, unless the fans really demandin shit, I'm not really trippin. So unless the fans demandin the video, wasn't like the radio just chose one off the album and was spinnin it 50 times a day, feel me. Right now we woulda just jumped on it you know. KIM Keepin it movin.
I seen a few cameos in Nothin 2 a Bo$$, who all was in that video?
C-Bo, Dru Down, Eastwood, who else, Mac Dre, that's about it. A bunch of my regime niggas and shit.
Why was The Realest verse taken off Godzilla?
Man, he had got down on Ja Rule and Irv Gotti, J Prince fuck with them. So they didn't let that one go on the album. We put Fatal on it to keep it Outlawed out, keep it trill. Since he was on that original that we took the Pac beat from. So yeah we put Fatal on there, kept Realest on there at the end let the beat ride out. You know.
So are you cool with Murder Inc, since there seems to be a little alliance between RAL/Tha Row and them?
Yeah that's like fam. Irv and them, they get down with J Prince, whoever get down with J Prince get down with me. Same with Suge and them. I fuck with Eastwood and them, Kurupt, all them niggas, so it's all good with Tha Row and me. Same with Ja, when he come to LA i fuck with them niggas, Black Child, all them niggas. And I fuck with Bangem Smurf, the nigga that 50 X'ed out his crew. He down with us now. Silverback gorillas, me and Bo got them niggas on our album, and we shittin on 50, nahmean. Look for that song called "He Ain't a Thug" We shittin on him. Yeah 50 cent left the nigga in jail. Him and 50 put out that first Guess Who's Back. The producer on that. So if yall business partners and shit, and he your street nigga, handlin your street business, he come with his guns and your goons takin care of his business, you gotta look out for him! He got money and the power with you, It aint like he askin for no money. He got money that yall made together! Give him some of that money, bail him out! How scandless can you fuckin be man. This proove that nigga aint a real nigga. So if he had a chance to bail out, Tony Yayo, he wouldn'ta bailed him out. If Tony Yayo had a bail, he wouldn't of bailed him out cause he didn't bail Bangem out. You know, so fuck 50. That niggas a coward and he's a fake. That nigga got and whatever he ridin that Dr. Dre shit, I ain't gonna say he fake, his lyrics is wack, but his demeanor. It's how a person represent hisself, It's. If you live the life of a snitch, you get killed, snitches don't live long. Feel me? So this nigga gotta run with 30 cops with him, payin 30 thousand a day, on security cause he's a snitch and he know it! He got money on his head. Now if he wasn't a snitch, nigga I don't walk with no security. I walk with all my ice on, 20-30 thousand worth of ice on everywhere I go, everything, with a thousand goons everywhere I touch cause I'm a street nigga! Feel me, from Detriot, to DC, to Houston, to St. Louis, to Ohio, I got niggas everywhere I touch down. So as soon as I touch down i got niggas who come to the room with guns, hood niggas. I don't fuck with security, cause security is punks. Nigga, just like Puffy pulled that. Puffy has security and guess who did the bustin, Shyne. You feel me, and the security didn't even take the fuckin gun. Any nigga offer him 50 thousand, take the gun, It's nothin! You security! You can walk with a gun. Security aint shit. I roll with real street niggas, that roll for you that ride for each other, to the death. You gotta look out for them niggas, man that's yo dogs man. You gotta feed them niggas you feel me? You dont feed them they gonna start bitin you! that's gon happen when you don't feed a pitbull, he gone get mad and start bitin ya! Feel me? that's what happens when you fuck your niggas over. So Bangem Smurf got the perfect right to ride on that nigga cause he's a pubnk man. Period. that's why he gotta get new niggas like the nigga Young Buck, and The Game. Why don't you go back to Queens and get the real G-Unit? Them niggas you X-ed out. What about Domination and Big Swing, all them niggas. Bangem Smurf. Tony Yayo man. Them is real niggas from Queens that's in the streets man. 50 aint been in Queens since he been shot, nigga that was 3 years ago, he been layin up in the Pokanoes recovering man. Real talk man, that nigga aint no street nigga, the last time he went to Queens they said he had about 10 cops surroundin his Benz, he went to his moms grandma house. Whatever and did that documentary thing. But enough about that nigga, this Yukmouth.
Everybody raps about that shit, but it's only a few who actually live it.
Feel me, real talk thought niggas don't live that shit. He used to push nowadays but he a snitch, so that discredit any street credibility you got. Being a snitch discredit anything you got poppin. Take away all your stripes. But lets get on that Yukmouth Thug Lord shit. March 20th, me and C-bo, It's nothin, it's gone be real big. Me, finally bringin our album to the table, niggas been waitin for this like 2 years my nigga, kept goin to jail so throwin the album off feel me, but we finally did that muthafucka in 2 months, we ready. In Thugz We Trust comin out on Smoke-A-Lot/West Coast Mafia. Feel me?
What's the deal with the Blocc Movement was that suppose to bo your and C-Bo original album?
yea, that was the original Thug Lord album, half of that album, nahmean? It was some shit like C-Bo had gone to jail and Rap-A-Lot didn't wanna take the album cause he went to jail and couldn't promote the album. So when he went to jail I guess his peoples cut a deal with Brotha Lynch and i they took some of my verses off and threw Lynch on it. And threw a couple new songs on it. And just put it out as Blocc Movement it came out hot though, but alot of the songs was original Thug Lordz songs nigga, real talk, that was like the first album, but he couldn't do it, he went to jail. Rap-A-Lot wasn't fuckin wit us, so shit they made it another album. And we finally was able to do the real album though.
What made you decide to make a group album with C-Bo out of all people?
Man, that's my nigga when I first met that nigga we linked like brothers. He older then me and shit, I respect him as a OG, shit, High school on the block listening to him, and I use to freestyle, my niggas was like "You cant fuck with Bo! He hard!!" Hella hyphy all tellin me I gotta compete with this nigga, later on in life I end up meetin this nigga, cool ass nigga, that nigga one hunnet man. I fuck with a nigga first with his heart. If a nigga got a good heart, if a nigga real, Bo is all of the above I see no fakeness in my nigga. I would say If I needed anything he would give it to me. Same with me, I'm that type of nigga, so I ain't gonna fuck with nobody if they not gonna give me they all, and I give them my all, feel me. Like niggas I roll with, If I go shopping, I'mma let yall go shoopin I'm payin for yall to go shoppin too. You gotta look good too. Same goes for me, like sometimes we go out to dinner nigga you pay for the dinner. I got it next time. that's just real nigga shit, so that's how real niggas link on some shit like that, then on this one, together, we gon be a group and have my album, Thug Lordz, coming out. that's the album he got on. The first song we ever did together was "Spray Yourself" Song talkin about Master P. From there that's what creates the Thug Lordz. From there it was gonna be me, C-Bo and Spice 1. And then Spice 1 became hella hard to stay in contact with this nigga kept movin from here to here, Bay to LA, to Oakland, this nigga was untouchable, so me and Bo, we lived in LA right next to each other. So we just connected and said fuck it we gonna do it and we'll feature Spice 1 on the album. We gotta keep this shit moving cause It's a good concept, me and him rollin together so we kept it moving and made it happen. C-Bo got Sac on lock, I got the underground town on lock, It's town business wherever I step.
Nasty flow, nasty mouth. Yukmouth. Niggas used to say when your flow was nasty, shit was raw. So just nasty mouth, nasty flow. Yuk flow. Raw lyrics.
