Hemp Life Magazine - Issue 4

Once I smoke a blunt, my mind is open. The ideas are flowing like a
mf! Shit…I don’t even do music without weed
man…period…because it motivates me, it gives me that energy that I
need, you know what I mean.
You know I can do it without it, no doubt, but its better and it’s way
flyer, when you do it higher, period…That’s all I’m saying…lol
Tazzy: Yeah 4 sho’…it’s a lifestyle…
Yuk: Straight up, it’s a lifestyle…
Tazzy: For those that aren’t part of it, they just don’t understand it,
but it’s definitely a lifestyle
Yuk: Yeah it’s just like when the Rock N Roll mf’s used to do the
mushrooms and the acids & shit, to open up their shit so they can
make the wild ass songs or whatever. I just need some weed! That
open up the world for me man…I’m good…period…I don’t need the
extra shit but it’s the same thing, nah mean? Some people take
pills…some people shoot heroin…some people snort coke…I smoke
weed, it’s a difference. It gets that same level of (you know) making
your mind expand. Nah mean...that’s what it’s about…period.
Tazzy: Yeah that’s what we try to do here at the Smokers Society &
Hemp Life Magazine too. It’s all about sharing creative content
because you can just blaze up…ya know and chop it up. You’ll be
amazed at how many people smoke but for whatever type of job they
do, they can’t really express it (in that sense). So we (the Smokers
Society) just try to come together and create ways to where you
know we can all just come together…we’re not judging
nobody…stoners don’t really judge nobody…we just want to smoke
(unless you got some bammer) you know then it’s a whole different
story lol. You know what I mean though.
Yuk: Imma say that even the biggest people in the game is getting
into the Marijuana industry (s/o Warren Buffett). He’s building the
biggest globe plant in America…so that shows you where the game
is going…period. If Warren Buffett…the biggest mf with the most
money is investing into Marijuana, then hey, you know where the
game is going…period! It’s like liquor, the prohibition day, you
know what I mean? When liquor became legal, you know how much
money them mf’s made that had the liquor companies (legally)?
Was able to run their bottles through every store…every club…every
this, that and the third, you know what I mean? They made so much
money…so boom…mf’s getting a lead…getting a head start on the
game. Shot out Warren Buffett! Lol
Tazzy: Yeah I can dig that! Yeah a lot of people are definitely
getting involved. People you wouldn’t even think. So all you can do
is legalize it more and keep spreading it…
Yuk: Imma say this…there are so many doctors and lawyers in LA
with Cannabis clubs and imma end on that…period. Lol. While
their doing surgery they got a club going heavy, you feel me? Lol.
So everybody is getting into the game and it’s positive…you know
what I mean? Good vibes…you also curing people and helping
people with cancer. Helping people with other diseases, you know
just helping people period. But beyond just smoking and enjoying
the recreational, it really cures people; you know what I mean…so
you know it’s a good thing, definitely!
Tazzy: Oh yeah 4 sho!
Yuk: Different type of oils…be curing people with cancer and
shit… everything…so it’s huge. ‘
Tazzy: Yeah it’s more than just smoking too. It definitely does
things like that too. It’s also good for the environment all together, so
over the next 5-10 years, I can see it being more of a worldwide thing
and not just in the US but in different countries & stuff too.
So for those that don't know, tell us how you got started in music
and how you & Numskull hooked up to form Da Luniz?
Yuk: Man basically Num was rapping. Me & Num met up in the 8 th
grade…he was rapping; he had a group called “BWP”. I was the
artist of the group. I was a cartoonist so I was drawing their pictures
& shit and I was a dope dealer. You know the fly nikka of the
group…so they wanted me on board just because I was fly.
Years passed…I wasn’t no dope rapper at all. I was pure
bullshit…bottom of the totem pole…Num was the best rapper. Years
passed…you know in the streets…in & out…go to jail…in & out…do
a year in jail in juvenile hall. Boom…study…got my game
together…came out the best rapper…period. Came out with the
plan…Da Luniz…Da Looney Tunes. We called our group “Da
Looney Tunes”. I named “NumSkull” and my name “Yukmouth”.
Came out with the condom man, the logo…first song…”Ice Cream
Man”. Got out, we got the deal with that song “Ice Cream Man”.
End up being on Dru Down’s album and on C-note records (the
label) & all that.
End up getting sign to Virgin with the “5 on it album” and the rest is
history.
Tazzy: Yeah 4 sho! Yeah you guys got some cuts too! Man…lol
Yuk: That part!
Tazzy: I can go on and on about that but man I love it!
Yuk: And let’s not even go to me going to Rap-A-lot and starting my
solo career…and doing my Yukmouth thing…that’s another story!
But yeah we doing it! Lol
Tazzy: Yeah 4 sho…lol
Yuk: That part…
Tazzy: Well tell us…you know…more about your current project
that just dropped a couple of weeks ago "JJ Based on a Vill Story".
Tell us a little about that.
Yuk: Yes that’s my latest project! JJ Based on a Vill Story, I just
dropped the part I. The part II dropping next month. But uhm it’s
basically the prequel to “Thugged Out”. You know basically the
story of what I was doing before “Thugged Out”. So that’s why it
sound so intricate…or familiar…or remind you of “Thugged Out” or
Godzilla, you know what I mean? Because it’s back to that…you
know the story telling that happened before that, so you familiar with
it already. You know what I mean…that’s why people like the
album…you know back to the bars…you know. A lot of my fans been
complaining…they want they old Yuk back. So you know just had to
