BEEFS One of the of the things that Yukmouth is most famous for is his numerous " Beefs " with other rappers. Too Short The Luniz had an early beef with fellow Oakland rapper Too Short over a misunderstood lyric in one of The Luniz' songs. The artists later "squashed" their beef by appearing on a track together called "Funkin' Over Nothing." Yukmouth may be beefing with Too Short again, however, and mentions him (although not by name) On the track "Fuck Friends" from the United Ghettos of America Volume 1 cd. Master P Yukmouth's most famous and long lasting beef is with veteran rapper Master P . Yukmouth has claimed in numerous songs that he used to know Master P before either man became a famous rapper. According to Yukmouth, Master P had a different rapping style and was constantly laughed at by others. Yukmouth alledges that Master P "stole" or copied Yukmouth's style, along with his nickname "The Ice Cream Man" which later became the name of a Master P cd in 1996. While it is impossible to confirm whether Master P "stole" Yukmouth's style, Yukmouth did appear on a track recorded with fellow bay rapper Dru Down in 1994 called "The Ice Cream Man," and the Luniz released a different track with the same title in 1995 on their debut CD, Operation Stackola. Yukmouth has dissed Master P on every solo CD that he has recorded, along with both of the United Ghettos Of America CD's and all of his mixtapes. G-Unit
