In the tradition of artists like Too $hort, Dru Down and E-40 who have raised Oakland's rap scene, Luniz are another of California's "light it up and smoke it" crews. On OPERATION STACKOLA, Knumskull and Yukmouth beef up their region's catalog with a new-school type of gangsta/playa hip-hop.
OPERATION STACKOLA correctly represents its West Coast family on "Put This Lead On Ya," which features the mack of the year, Dru Down, and uses the vocals of the late Eazy-E. "Broke Niggaz" also salutes their left coast forefathers by using material performed by Ice Cube. The topics might be typical of a gangsta rap act (only a little less graphic), but their sound is more funk-oriented, with production courtesy of N.O. Joe, E-A-Ski and Digital Underground's Shock G.
For their debut, Luniz dig deep in the crates for the basis of their music. "I Got 5 On It" is a close relative of Club Nouveau's "Why You Treat Me So Bad," and "Playa Hata" takes its track directly from Bobby Caldwell's "What You Won't Do For Love." "Broke Hos" oddly reverses the role of Gwen Guthrie's "Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But The Rent" and supports the theory that a gold digger can be of either sex.
Luniz bring forth a combination of rhythmic funk, laid-back rhymes and a whole new vocabulary. OPERATION STACKOLA takes their playa-infested city of Oakland another step forward in the hip-hop game.
