YUK has a catalog of music that not too many rappers in CALI or outside of Cali and touch. From the LUNIZ days to all his solo work plus UGA vol. 1 is still the sh it!!! Him and BO THUGLORDZ cd plus numerous his guest appearances always make a song better. I don't know a thing about his personality other than what I've seen on dvds but this dude has worked with everyone from PUFFY to a cat like KILLA KLUMP and he picked up the torch where PAC left which was to unite the ghettos thru music. On an underground level YUK did a good ass job.
EAST COAST: PUFFY, BIGGY, THE LOX, DMX, BANG EM SMURF & DOMINATION, etc...
MIDWEST:TECHN9NE, YOUNG KYOZ, AMPICHINO, STREETLORDZ, BONE THUGS, etc...
DOWN SOUTH: SCARFACE, ZRO, TRAE, BG, DEVIN THE DUDE, 8BALL & MJG, etc...
WESTCOAST: everybody except SNOOP & DRE. He had MC REN on THUGGED OUT when no one was checking for REN. MC EIHT, KING TEE, CBO, KILLA TAY, MARVALOUS, LUNI, DOGGPOUND, CROOKED I during/after his DEATHROW deal, 151, the whole bay area...Who else besides PAC & SNOOP can actually say that they get love from all four corners besides YUK plus overseas??? I'm waiting
