You don’t need Rakim on the remix to tell you that in hip-hop, the truth hurts. The truth is, twelve years ago, the Oakland duo of Yukmouth and Numskull got it in as The Luniz, and still hold one of the biggest records to ever come from the Bay in “I Got Five on It.” However, after that, the truth got blurry. The light-hearted group who celebrated mischief and self-medication split in two directions. After publicly ignored disputes with Master P and Too $hort, Yukmouth headed South to align with Rap-A-Lot Records in his more thugged out approach – something that Numskull says was fictional. Meanwhile, Numskull returned to his roots with Digital Underground on the road. Now an admitted alcoholic, the honesty is hard to ignore. Numskull admits to a blue-collar lifestyle, as he releases Numworld, an album that tells it like it is. In a discussion tracing the evolution and demise of The Luniz, Numskull speaks candidly, despite his intention to bring the fun back to the “muzik.”
