Så er det endnu engang blevet tid til at åbne op for SPOL OP's Bøfhus, som i denne omgang byder på både en middag og et show, alt sammen til samme vanlige pris.


Som medlem af legendariske bay-area rap gruppe Luniz, og derefter The Regime og hele Rap-A-Lot familien, er Yukmouth ikke ukendt med loyalitets begrebet, hvilket i høj grad har bevirket de fleste af hans bøffer igennem hans karriere - og dem har der været en del af. The Game derimod er ny mand i feltet, og har derfor mindst lige så meget - hvis ikke mere, at bevise omkring sin loyalitet, dels overfor sit crew, men også overfor hip hop generelt.

Til ovennævnte er det endnu engang vigtigt lige at knytte nogle overordnede observationer til, som er relevante at få med, for at få den fulde forståelse for konfliktens begyndelse.

1) Yukmouth er i første omgang slet ikke interesseret i The Game, men derimod G-Unit front mand 50 Cent. Yukmouth er signet på Rap-A-Lot records, som er J. Prince's pladeselskab. J. Prince er nede med Suge Knight, som er nede med Irv Gotti. Irv Gotti har pladeselskabet Murda Inc. (Ja Rule, Ashanti etc.) som Shady/Aftermath/G-Unit har haft (og stadig har) super meget bøf med. Yukmouth's bøf med 50 Cent skyldes derfor i første omgang hans tilknytning til et crew, som hans eget baglang har et problem med rettere end ham selv. Men Yukmouth må bevise sin loyalitet overfor selskabet og dets udvidet familie, som kommer foran alt.

2) The Game er på dette tidspunkt ny-signet under G-Unit, og hans debut har endnu ikke ramt masserne. G-Unit er efterhånden ved at skabe sig et ry som hip hop lands bøller, og der går ikke længe før de har anskaffet sig flere fjender end lederen (50 Cent) kan holde styr på. Diss tracks fra Yukmouth rettet mod 50 Cent, er det perfekte påskud for at sende den nye mand i brechen for crewet - og derved bevise sin loyalitet.

Yukmouth er som sagt ikke synderlig interesseret i The Game, og som medlem af Rap-A-Lot og dets udvidet familie, er han kun interesseret i at ramme én mand, og med udsendelsen af "Thug Lordz", gør han det klart at han er ude efter krig

Yukmouth (Thug Lordz - Godzilla)
"yeah that nigga 50 he hot, but I heard he's a snitch
And he ran up under that white boy, I heard he's a bitch
An I ain't seen him in the hood, no where in the Valley
No House of Blues, or Peanuts, he scared of them alleys
Heard he copped his rims and 'Big O' tires in the hood
Surrounded by police, wearin wires in the hood
Heard they ran him outta New York, and he's comin to Cali
No glocks and cigs, just lots of pigs
Eh nig, your rap career will not outlast Pac and Big's
Yeah you fuckin wit some kids that ain't scared of the bricks
You in there, four-fifth kick dead in the bricks
Thug Lordz'll have ya hit, split dead in a 6, c'mon"

50 Cent selv, er dog ikke umiddelbart interesseret i at gå efter Yukmouth, så konflikten mellem de to forbliver en ensidig affære, hvor Yukmouth og hans crew "Thug Lordz" (med C-Bo og Spice 1) kort tid efter udsender endnu et nummer rettet mod 50 Cent, med et noget humoristisk omkvæd

Thug Lordz - (He Ain't A Thug - In Thugz We Trust)
"I got shot nine times, that nigga need a hug
I got beat up at the club, that nigga need a hug
I got my spinning piece cuz, that nigga need a hug
That nigga ain't no gangsta, that nigga ain't a thug
I got shot nine times, that nigga need a hug
I got stabbed in the gut, that nigga need a hug
But still look at my G-Unit cuz"

Selvom Yukmouth forhøjer indsatsen, ved at inkludere 50 Cent's über nemesis Bang-Em-Smurfpå tracket, bider han ikke på - muligvis fordi han allerede er ved at sende en af sine håndlangere i krig.

Umiddelbart efter de to tracks rettet med 50 Cent, mødes Yukmouth og The Game til Jadakiss' release fest. Idet Yukmouth er klar over at The Game er ny mand på G-Unit rosteren - og endda en west-coast repræsentant, henvender han sig til The Game, for at "feel the temperature". De to bliver enige om at bøffen kun er mellem 50 Cent og Yukmouth, og at The Game ikke skal/vil indblandes.

Der går dog ikke længe før det står klart for Yukmouth at The Game taler med to tunger, idet han slipper det første skud i form af et benhårdt og personligt freestyle, og så endda over Luniz hittet "I Got 5 On It"

The Game (I Got A Million On It - Game Time Mixtape)
"This little bitch from The Luniz want beef he lyin'
So I called E-40, and tried to seize the violence
I got niggaz on the island, for puttin' in stainless work
With vaseline on they palms, gettin' ready to Bang Em Smurf (you little bitch)
I here him screamin' in Compton, sound like my bitch cummin'
You wasn't never fuckin' with G-Unit, quit frontin'
For domination be Lisa Leslie, a big woman
With a nine on the back, I'm gonna catch that bitch runnin'
Shove a .40 in his throat, now nigga spit somethin'
And get lost boy, go visit your big cousin
I got fish to fry, throw a line in the pacific
With cocaine on the hook, for this Luniz ass nigga
You a bitch, how you call your self the Ice Cream Man
When Master P took your name and your ice cream van
Made 500 million, that's your homey though
Took your man hood, gave your shit to Lil'Romeo
This nigga, 5 foot 2, talkin' that big shit
You got "5 On It?" that money went to Chris Hicks
Tryin' to diss Too $hort for doin' his pimp shit
Nigga you been gitten fucked, swallowin' big dicks
Pac knew he was a pussy, that's why he ran south
Signed to Rap-A-Lot, they never put his ass out
Hid behind Lil' J, all the sudden you thugged out
Ran back to the Bay, sleepin' on wannabe cuz couch
How you drop 5 albums, don't own one house
Or get the boss to call me, Banks, and fuck out
It's G-Unit bitch, let me show you what blood bout
When my blood pressure rise, I bring the bloods out
Put the barrell on his neck, blow his guts out
Now that's whats you call a Yukmouth
...
Yeah I seen you in the club nigga, asked you did you have beef with G-Unit nigga
Nigga you ain't say shit nigga
"That ain't me man, that was C-Bo, man, this Regime, this Regime, man, Bay area, Bay area"
Man i'll beat the shit out you, you fuckin little punk
And when I catch you nigga, you gonna need Dr.Dre to get my motherfuckin' G-6 out you ass
You bitch, you faggot ass nigga, and don't try to turn the Bay 'gainst me nigga
I got niggaz in your town that will fuck you up"


Game's freestyle kommer som et chok for Yukmouth, hvor det især er hans udlægning omkring release festen, som ikke stemmer overens med Yukmouths udlægning. Han er derfor lynhurtig til at svare igen med et track, han i følge eget udsagn indspiller og sender ud til Internet masserne på blot 2 timer

Yukmouth (Game Over - Unreleased)
"You ain't no thug, you a faggot ass toungue ring mush face
Bitch that won't talk that blood shit in front of Suge face
You ain't no Compton blood, M.O.B. mobbed out
How you got a million when you livin' at yo mom's house?
On the interscope dvd at yo mom's house
See me on my dvd drop koo, rocked out
This nigga faker than Eminem on Wash house
Come down South to get knocked out, popped out
Watch Out! Make strategic movement, J Prince served and ran
And G-Unit outta Houston.(pussy)
Y'all niggaz music, I peeped the blueprint
Suge Knight slapped that nigga, he didn't do shit
Got slapped 2 different times, he didn't do shit
Disrespect the Eazy tattoo, you ain't rufeless

Now he mister hard body since he with the Unit
Wanna beat my ass? Then prove it! What you gon do?
Sucker punch me and run, and D'mack for da gun?

Be real nigga! (be real)
Let a nigga know what really happened nigga! (what really happened)
Quit fuckin' wit me like that you bitch! Nigga"


Umiddelbart efter begge angreb, bliver bøffen hurtig kørt op som en intern west coast krig mellem Bay Area området og Compton. Da en sådan konflikt hurtigt kan eskalere ud af proportioner, virker det derfor ganske fornuftigt, at en fælles ven af de to rappere prøver at dæmpe gemytterne ved at samle dem på ét nummer, med den sigende titel "Peace"

Hvor Yukmouth benytter Peace tracket, som en mulighed for at begrave stridsøksen

Yukmouth (Peace - Unreleased)
"What's beef? beef is for real niggaz to squash it
and come through in twin SL coups that's topless
Yuk got the Bay locked, Game got Compton
Detox like doc Dre and puff chronic
and all the west coast beef shit is noncence
Jay can be friends, get on a nigga project
Lets make them ends, cos money is the object
haters can't stop it, everybody gon' profit
Speedy stops the beef, cos shit can get ugly
got the west side connected like Cube and Dub C (WC)
blood and cuz I'm gone make you love me
We gone bring the west coast back, my nig' trust me
smoked a lot with Black Wall Street, stopped all beef
and it's still death before dishonor if you cross me
I'm a bay area john like Barry Bonds
Real niggaz stop beef without Farrakhan"

Benytter The Game derimod (som lægger sin vokal på tracket efter Yukmouth) muligheden for at sende flere skud efter Yukmouth, og gør det 100% klart at han er langt fra klar til at lægge bøffen bag sig

The Game (Peace - Unreleased)
"This ain't about bleek or buddens
nigga i don't squash beef for nuttin'
I squashed the beef for speedy my homeboy cousin
it ain't about blood n' it ain't about crips
it's about Gonzoe ridin' Yukmouths dick (bitch)
you don't even know me blood, you got blue chucks
don't come show me cuz, you crippin' right?
I know niggaz from your hood, you claim you never bang
and after that Lench Mob deal, niggaz forgot your name
your life is like a cartoon you muppet baby
Ice Cube's in my chain, so you love to hate me
the lead singer of ??? been thuggin' lately
run around mad O'Shea fucked and raped you
now back to Yukmouth, we cool for now
you can come outside, ain't nobody gon shoot you down
go head live your life, won't be no gunplay
I'll see you in the streets, you gon have to fight me one day"

Konflikten bliver med ét bluset op igen, og så snart Yukmouth får nyt om Games snigløb er han endnu engang klar med et hurtigt svar i form af "Game Over Pt. 2". Denne gang går Yuk dog skridtet videre, og indspiller en musikvideo til tracket, hvori The Game bliver banket og jaget af Yukmouth og hele hans Regime crew.

Yukmouth (Game Over Pt. 2 - Unreleased)



Tiden umiddelbart efter udsendelsen af Game Over Pt. 2 videoen, er præget af en del tumult fra The Games side, hovedsageligt forårsaget af hans begyndende gnidninger med G-Unit lejren og 50 Cent i særdeleshed. Derudover skaber videoen præcis den tendens som mange frygter, hvor der begynder at blive snak om fysiske konsekvenser fra begge lejre.

Idet Yukmouth vs. The Game ikke er den eneste bøf på vestkysten, og der generelt hersker en del uro blandt forskellige fraktioner af west coast scenen, så beslutter Snoop Doog at afholde en "West Coast Peace Conference", for at skabe samhørighed blandt alle west coast artisterne. Ved denne konference får Yukmouth og The Game én gang for alle smidt bøffen af grillen, uden tvivl godt hjulpet af deres - på nuværende tidspunkt, fælles had for G-Unit og 50 Cent.

Efterfølgende kollaborere Yuk og Game på et par tracks sammen, blandt andet diss tracket "I'll Never Snitch", rettet mod - you guessed it, 50 Cent.

Konflikten mellem Yukmouth og The Game, har ikke været eksponeret i lige så høj grad som deres øvrige bøffer, såsom Game vs. G-Unit eller Yukmouth vs. Master P. Det har dog alligevel været en af de mere diskuteret, idet især Games handlinger, i form af i hvert fald ét (og muligvis to) snigløb, af mange bliver anset som værende, af manglende på bedre ord, et bitch move.

Selvom de to har kollaboreret før, er det derfor ingen garant for at The Game holder sit ord, og en enkelt linje på på LAX pladen, har da også fået en del til at løfte øjenbrynene

The Game (Bulletproof Diares - LAX)
"I kill a firebreathing dragon with a dome shot"

Det er her vigtigt og notere, at dragen er noget som går igen og igen i Yukmouts musik. Hvor han ofte referer til sin drage tatovering og sin drage halskæde, samt at der ofte figurerer drager på hans covers. Der skal da heller ikke herske nogen tvivl om hvordan Yukmouth har forstået den pludselige drage reference

Yukmouth (Cocka Roaches - The West Coast Don)
"You could never kill a firebreathing dragon with a dome shot
how the fuck you king of the west, when you ain't welcome on your own block"
