![]() “That’s going to be the pimp anthem of the year,” Yukmouth says. Over a mackadocious beat from Sir Jinx (Ice Cube, Xzibit), the trio lays their pimp hand down. The same can be said for “Pimpology,” which teams Yuk with Suga Free and Too $hort. The beat is complex and we’re rapping about ballin’ and stuntin’. “The beat is all dribbles, shots, the sound of people running across the basketball court, the dunks, the swishes. “It’s ridiculous and it hasn’t been done before,” Yukmouth beams of the lively cut. On the innovative “Boss Ballin’,” Yuk teams with Houston star Lil’ Flip to rap about living the glamorous life over a basketball-inspired beat from Dame Grease (Nas, DMX). Hip-hop fans everywhere will be more than satisfied with the results. “I took a year off, so I’m just going to give them that album I left off in that year in this album. “I think I owe it to my fans,” reasons Yuk, whose last album, Godzilla, came out in 2003. He had so much that he wanted to share that he couldn’t fit it on one album. Indeed, Yukmouth’s mouthpiece is so refined, so precise and so prolific that his lyrical game overflows, resulting in Million Dollar Mouthpiece being a double album. I’ve got a Million Dollar Mouthpiece and I’m selling millions of albums. I’m covering all angles, but at the same time I’m keeping it more gangsta and more street. “I’m giving the radio and the ladies something to deal with. “I spit game, man,” the gravely-voiced rapper says. True to his Oakland roots, Yukmouth fills the explosive collection with his signature brand of lyricism. Yukmouth’s winning streak continues with his fourth solo album, the magnificent double disc Million Dollar Mouthpiece. As one-half of the platinum rap duo the Luniz, Yukmouth delivered hip-hop’s most acclaimed weed anthem, “I Got 5 On It.” With his solo career, which started off in 1998 with the Gold double album Thugged Out (The Albulation), Yukmouth has been the game’s most consistent reality rapper, churning out thoughtful gangster parables that contain a marvelous mix of wit, humor, insight and rage. So in order to make it, your spit game has to be up to par.Īnd no one’s spit game is as sharp as Yukmouth’s. The City of Dope is the home of pimps, ballers and plenty of flossy activity. Growing up in Oakland, California you’ve got to be able to kick good conversation.
