 (4 Customer Reviews)
The Luniz' name is pronounced "loonies," and the Oakland rap duo lives up to that name on Lunitik Muzik, one of the most memorable rap releases of 1997. This eccentric effort must be taken for exactly what it is -- wild, nutty, outrageous fun. When Yukmouth and Numskull (whose guests on the CD range from the 2 Live Crew, Too Short and Redman to urban contemporary "girl groups" Brownstone and Mokenstef) deliver their sexually explicit lyrics and frequent references to drunkenness and marijuana use, they come across as tongue-in-cheek rather than threatening. "Handcuff Your Hoes," "Phillies" and "20 Bluntz a Day" aren't for those with delicate sensibilities, although anyone who has enjoyed Richard Pryor, Rudy Ray Moore or Eddie Murphy should be able to appreciate the Luniz' brand of musical ghetto humor. The disc takes a more serious turn on "Y Do Thugz Die," a commentary on inner-city crime that reflects on the murders of rap stars 2Pac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. But more than anything, Lunitik Muzik is noteworthy for its entertainment value. ~ Alex Henderson

Vibe (10/97, p.168) - "...LUNITIK MUZIK--gratuitous references to drugs notwithstanding--is an enjoyable collection of music, equally amusing and artistic..."
The Source (11/97, p.160) - 3.5 Mics (out of 5) - "...easily surpasses its predecessor by possessing the total package...The strengths of LUNITIK MUZIK lie in Yukmouth and Knumskull's ability to cleverly and metaphorically transcend the typical reality rap subject matter..."
Rap Pages (12/97, p.95) - "...LUNITIK MUZIK reigns supreme lyrically and musically. The Luniz definitely got down to business with the pen and pad..."

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Very good Shizzlenit
I haven't heard the new Luniz album, but I do have Yukmouth's Albulation (piece of crap, don't touch) and their first two, and this one outshines them both. Very good beats on almost every track, collaborations with Too Short and Eightball and MJG, and of course, Yuk and Num's insanely funny lyrics add up to a great value for your dollar. One of the most enjoyable Bay Area album's out there.

Lunitik Muzik album
 $13.15 
Enter the Jacka. The death of 2Pac in the mid 90's ripped the heart out of West Coast Hip Hop. At the same time a young street poet named the Jacka was honing his skills in the Bay Area Rap game. Always open minded, he was influenced by b-boys and thugs, pimps and Imams. The Jacka has since developed into an established, well-rounded, well-versed emcee in the right place to bring the West Coast some serious attention. The Jacka's music is a reflection of his life. He witnessed the birth of the dope game and the drug war that followed, as the battle was waged in his community, on his block, and in his house. Memories of departed loved ones haunt his mind and soul. His release is to share his experiences through his music. Reality hurts. Rap is the Jacka's medicine. That and some purple. Jacka's success proves his mettle as an emcee. He has been featured on over 50 albums over the past six years. His contributions to the Mob Figaz self-entitled album resulted in over 100,000 units sold. His tour with Yukmouth (of the Luniz), C-Bo, the Mob Figaz, and Tech 9ne exposed him to nationwide notoriety. His first solo release (featuring Too $hort, Cormega, Christion, and Yukmouth) in 2002 sold over 30,000 units. Jacka sold these units himself, in the Bay Area and through shipping to one-stops across the country. Though great support came from the Bay Area, sixty percent of Jacka's sales came from outside of California.The Jacka's upcoming album, The Jack Artist, is sure to satisfy his fans and impress ...
