He definitely don't be late for Vlad. He gonna be late for Vlad. And we can't be late for 50. You know how 50 move. We can't be late with 50.

[DJ Envy]

So how did idea of the podcast come about?

[Tony Yayo]

You know, Yay. Yo was kind of like the Internet guy with these interviews that he be doing with Vlad and all that and going viral. Funny thing about it is me 50, a couple other guys used to be kind of joking on yo, yo about like, yo, man, why you keep doing all these interviews, all these podcasters and doing these interview stuff? But it was working for him. I'm not going to lie. We be so many places overseas and people just be running down on him just because of these interviews that he was doing. Like everywhere I'm talking about overseas. We had just interview, interview. Yo, we saw your interview. We seen this, we seen that. So then me and him start talking about actually putting something together. And then we actually shot a few episodes. And then the Valium, shout out to Kelly and the Valium up family. That's here right now. They got Jada Kiss, Fat Joe. I think they had Shannon Sharp, Angie Martinez too, and all that. They reached out, we worked out some numbers, and now we part of the Valiant family.

[DJ Envy]

Gotcha.

[Public Service Announcement Voice]

That's right.

[Tony Yayo]

It make it make sense.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What do you think is the benefit of being a rapper with a podcast? Cause you're still very much an active rapper.

[Tony Yayo]

I don't know yet, just to be honest. I don't know yet if we being honest. I really don't know. But I'm gonna find out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I think the more murder talk, the more murder gonna get in trouble.

[Tony Yayo]

You might be right. You might be right. And I think it's a cancer thing because you a cancer too, right? And 50, for some reason, I feel like we just. When we open our mouth pause. People tend not to like what we have to say.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Not even trying to piss nobody off.

[Tony Yayo]

Nah, we just speak in our mind. And it just turns out like that for some reason.

[DJ Envy]

How you and Yayo get so close. Cause you assigned to unit and it just seemed like y' all do everything together. Y' all open up dispensaries together. Y' all do like.

[Tony Yayo]

Yeah, that's on 246,01 Jericho Parkway. The dispensary will be open a soft opening Friday. Thank you for that plug envy. But yeah, but the dispensary is coming. You know, I really don't even like, yo, yo like that. But I guess we would just surround each other so much that we just got cool. He'll tell you the same thing. We just formed like a brotherhood, man. I'm not gonna lie. And it's just. We just got tight and we just roll, man.

[50 Cent]

I like.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I like how serious you have taken the wrap up to, like, you. Your wrap up is the wrap up of a generation. Sorry, Skillz.

[50 Cent]

You know what I mean?

[Tony Yayo]

And shout out to Skills. Me and him is actually salute. Shout out to Skills, man. We actually communicate with each other. So we. We cool.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

How hard is that to do every year?

[Tony Yayo]

It is hard. It's a lot of pressure. I actually really, really want to stop. Like, I really want to stop.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You been saying that for a couple years.

[Tony Yayo]

I know, but then I recently Lear money I make from it when I was really going over some numbers and I was like, oh, this is actually a great thing besides, you know, starting a lot of controversy. But it is hard because you gotta sit there, you just gotta think about everybody and what they did and how they played theyself. And then I'm like, damn, I wanna do a podcast now. I might not even be able to get no guests because I talk about everybody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So I don't.

[Tony Yayo]

I'm trying to. I'm trying to figure that part out right there. But, yeah, the wrap up is entertaining me. And I know the culture needed. And I get. I get so many calls from certain people. I don't wanna put them on blast like that. But like, yo, you gotta do it. I don't care what happened to such and such do it. And it'd be like, it's people that y'. All. Y' all look at in this game, like, for real, or. He wants you. Oh, yeah. So I keep it going.

[Guest/Interviewer]

The only reason why you don't really. Well, you thought about not doing it anymore is because people that you offended and then you.

[Tony Yayo]

Nah, I don't really care about the people I offend. I just be. Sometime I just get tired of it. You know what it is because it be around the holiday time, too. And I got kids, man, so I got like a lot of little kids. And sometime I put so much energy into the wrap up, I be really missing, like, the little Christmas things and everything with them so much.

[DJ Envy]

So write things down throughout the year.

[Tony Yayo]

No, I just really think about this. And I'll be waiting to December, like around the end of Thanksgiving. And I put myself under all that pressure.

[Guest/Interviewer]

Yeah, that's a lot.

[Tony Yayo]

So that's what I do.

[50 Cent]

I don't.

[Guest/Interviewer]

12 months is straight.

[Tony Yayo]

You know, it be so much going on touring, this, that, and third, doing so much. I said, I just don't be there trying to write everything that happened. Then it got to be worth talking about, too. Like everything don't be worth talking about.

[Guest/Interviewer]

You don't like Justina, Valentine's redhead girl?

[Tony Yayo]

I'm cool with her. She's okay, man. I'm not mad at her. I think everybody got they Lane and what they doing. I'm not mad at her version of what she be doing. Yeah. And I don't want her fans to come on here trying to hate on me. I got enough enemies already, you know what I'm saying? And I know she got people that really like her, but I respect what she do. I'm not mad at her. It's cool.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I think.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Kelly's scared to tell him.

[Tony Yayo]

Oh, my God.

[50 Cent]

Please. Can we please turn it off and.

[Tony Yayo]

Take the mask off of him?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't think you and Yale need guests, though. I'd rather just hear y' all talk about y' all opinions about what's going on in the world?

[Tony Yayo]

Well, that's. That. That's gonna be part of it, too. So we're gonna have some guests, but we're gonna be doing our own thing as well.

[Lauren LaRosa]

How you gonna, like, separate the fact that people wait for that wrap up and to hear your opinion about certain things, but you're gonna be doing it so much on a podcast. So it's kind of like the exclusivity of what we wait for all year. We gonna see weekly or. You know what I mean?

[Tony Yayo]

I mean, you gonna hear about it, but I think when you rap about it, it's a little bit different. I think is you could talk about certain things, but when you actually put it on the beat and you're doing it with the music, it's a little bit more entertaining than fun and we get to do the videos with it and all that.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Got you.

[Tony Yayo]

So I still make it work.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Figure it out now when you do your. You talked about your people not liking you and stuff because of the wrap ups.

[Guest/Interviewer]

You.

[Lauren LaRosa]

You pick and choose certain things. So you talked about like Sukihana and her telling and her saying I'm sorry or Saweetie. Which one was it?

[DJ Envy]

Probably talking about both of them.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah. Talk about the selling. You were talking about her saying that she sells.

[Tony Yayo]

Sometimes you gotta remind me because I talk so much. I did say that. Why did you say that?

[Lauren LaRosa]

But even like the Young Thug stuff, when you said if they gonna. They keep pushing the goal post for Young Thug, Right? So, like, in those situations, I know you don't care, but, like, what comes behind that? Because people listen to your wrap up and they stick to what you think.

[50 Cent]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So, like, they hit.

[Tony Yayo]

I mean, when I said that about Young Thug, like, I feel like they was pushing the goal post for Young Thug because I feel like they had but so much love for Young Thug in Atlanta. But Young Thug made a whole record dissing me, man. He had a whole record called Uncle M, Uncle Murder. We could get turnt up. He was dissing me. I was like, what you dissing me for? You know what I'm saying? But nah, I don't really care about how they gonna feel or they mad at me for saying certain things. I'm cool with that. I really am cool with it.

[DJ Envy]

You ever run into any of these people that you talk about and you see them?

[Tony Yayo]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

Do they get mad or do they understand?

[Tony Yayo]

They understand. And sometime it be a little what you say face fighting. It'd be like a little school faces. Yeah, like that. But nothing ever happened. I'm still here. So be. Yeah, I'm still here. I remember I was gonna put y' all in it, but then y' all got cooled. I was like, when y' all was beefing, I'm like, oh, they gonna make it. But y' all got cooled so fast. It was like, oh, man, they ain't keep it going long enough. Y' all ain't keep it going long.

[50 Cent]

Enough for me, man.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I was in a group of people in Ghana listening to the wrap up, and one of the people I was with was like, y' all probably in it. And I was like, who's y'?

[Tony Yayo]

All?

[Lauren LaRosa]

And they were. And the person was like, you and Jess? And I was like, that didn't even happened this year.

[50 Cent]

That wasn't this year.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It was. It was.

[50 Cent]

It was last year.

[DJ Envy]

It was this.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It felt like so much happened that time. But I was listening and I was like. And then when you mentioned a Dame Dash moment. I was like, oh, we good.

[DJ Envy]

On there this year.

[Tony Yayo]

Charlemagne always in it. Charlemagne start so much trouble, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, I'm trying to turn over a new leaf. M. I don't want to be cool out here.

[Tony Yayo]

I don't want you getting the money. Now you. I mean, congratulations on the new deal.

[Guest/Interviewer]

Now he's picking on the white people podcasting.

[Tony Yayo]

I got to start asking questions, too, right? So how did you feel about Ebro talking about your situation? Oh, we got to talk about this. How did you feel about him trying to downplay. You didn't hear it. Good response. All right. Heard great response. Good response.

[50 Cent]

Good response.

[Tony Yayo]

Good response.

[50 Cent]

I want to ask, too.

[DJ Envy]

So how do y' all deal with beef when Fiff got beef, right? Cuz, you know, Fifth is a very loyal person, and it's usually when he got beef, everybody got beef.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All joke aside, do Fifth really have beef?

[50 Cent]

Yes.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I don't know if it's gotta be.

[DJ Envy]

It depends who it is.

[Tony Yayo]

Yeah, there you go. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

People get aggressive most of the time.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What are the real ones, then? Because they all seem comical, like.

[Guest/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I mean, so, like, I know the Irv Gotti situation, right? Like, that's a real or was a real situation? Like, what's real? Like that. That we wouldn't know because everything seems comical with him.

[Tony Yayo]

I mean, we ain't gonna come up here and say what's real on the radio. I mean, so the police could start saying, oh, that's the real one.

[DJ Envy]

That's the real.

[Tony Yayo]

Yeah, the real report. There you go. Everything is all. I think all this shit is entertainment, man. At the end of the day, I don't think 50 taking nothing this serious. He getting too much money to take it that serious at the end of the day. But I think somebody's looking. But if a situation, you know, occurs and it's all good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What do you do when somebody like King Colm shoots at y'?

[50 Cent]

All? Not literally shoot.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Literally. I'm talking like rat. If Christian Con ball you up one day murder, what you going to do, man?

[Tony Yayo]

I don't think. I'm not worrying about Kristen Combs bars, man. I don't think. I'm not worried about that, man. You know, I mean.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah. Yo, Christian Combs gonna ball you out.

[50 Cent]

They was just talking about you. I'm so sorry. Yo.

[Tony Yayo]

We started the podcast. He been late to about four episodes already, so it's all good.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yo, what you gonna do when Kristen Combs bar you and murder her?

[50 Cent]

Christian Combs, I done been through wars. What Are y' all talking about? We have beef with the best of them real street dudes.

[DJ Envy]

But I was asking when you walked in, how do y' all handle beef when 50 has beef and you might be cool with the person? And the perfect example, of course, is Mano and all them. Right? You did albums with Mano?

[50 Cent]

Yeah.

[DJ Envy]

So how does that work now, when 50's going at all of them and it's getting lyrical? So how does that work?

[Tony Yayo]

I don't think that's real beef for me.

[50 Cent]

I never been friends with rappers anyway. Being down with G Union, I just feel like we one of the biggest groups. So it was a lot of hate because a lot of these rappers are local. G Unit's like global. It's running here. My bad. Sorry.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He might need some water.

[DJ Envy]

So for you, it's like when he goes, you go. He's not a question.

[50 Cent]

Let me ask you, Faber Banks. I know what you're going to say. Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Damn.

[Tony Yayo]

Early with the questions.

[50 Cent]

Damn.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Everybody's asking that question.

[50 Cent]

I don't agree with that. But listen, listen. What I'm saying to you. G Unit is the most hated group in hip hop, right? From radio to. I couldn't walk red carpet at times. Mtv. No, don't put Yayo on the red carpet. Don't do it. We was the most hated rap group.

[DJ Envy]

But he was on the run. Yayo.

[50 Cent]

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let's go back to the Fat Banks thing. Cause that is a good conversation.

Murder's taking a Long time. You know, he's from Brooklyn. So he gonna co sign any.

[Tony Yayo]

I'm not. I'm just gonna keep it real. I think. I think it was a point where Banks was that dude at the end.

[50 Cent]

F wanted the sandwich. He wanted the sandwich.

[Tony Yayo]

I think Banks was killing came and kept it going.

[50 Cent]

Cataloging songs. Who's on tour right now? Banks F is not mad about.

[DJ Envy]

That's mad overseas.

[50 Cent]

We are the biggest. G Unit is the biggest. You can ask anybody in Europe or anything. Not trying to answer. We was the most hated in one. Murdered him by a house till he got down with G Unit. He was down with J.C. he was down with R.A. money you made on.

[Tony Yayo]

I never wanted a house until I had the little kids. So once I started. Once I started getting the little kids.

[50 Cent]

That'S when I decided it's just me the y' all love to hate. Not you. Some maybe you sometimes. I don't know.

[DJ Envy]

How you going to throw me.

[50 Cent]

I ain't got more beef than me that watch out.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Answer the question. Would a Envy supposed to save Banks just cuz he from Queens?

[50 Cent]

That's right.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's what I was thinking.

[Guest/Interviewer]

That's mad.

[50 Cent]

He's not from Queens. I am from Queens.

[DJ Envy]

But I'm being honest and real. What are y' all talking about?

[50 Cent]

When it comes to cat who killed can't deny you. You a DJ who kill people. Listen, Hold on. This is coming. This is coming from a mixtape dj?

[DJ Envy]

Yes, sir.

[50 Cent]

Let's not act like G didn't run the mixtape market. Nobody's we not saying so. What are you talking about? When it comes to catalog and songs. No, Banks had Banks. I'm going with Lloyd Banks.

[Guest/Interviewer]

Let's be for real bugging, son. Come on.

[50 Cent]

You bugging be crazy.

[Tony Yayo]

What you think?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Bad.

[50 Cent]

But niggas had video games and all that cereal and all that catalog.

[DJ Envy]

When it comes to.

[50 Cent]

I'm going with catalog. I'm going with Lloyd Banks. He on tour right now and I love Banks. He's going on tour right now. Of course, everybody has opinion, but I'm going with Lloyd Banks. I respect it.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Who started this debate?

[50 Cent]

He just came out the show.

[Tony Yayo]

I done seen it all over line. I do see it all over line.

[50 Cent]

Talking about it.

[Guest/Interviewer]

I think think the that be with.

[DJ Envy]

Fab started it, right?

[Guest/Interviewer]

Because that's who I saw.

[50 Cent]

Of course it was a whole bunch of that with Fab.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Inspired Banks though. Like when you listen to Fab, you hear.

[50 Cent]

I mean Banks was nice. Banks was nice at like 15 when we was doing hood mixtape Streets, mixtapes.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And like, that's the same question.

[50 Cent]

You know what I'm saying? I'm going with Lloyd Banks.

[Lauren LaRosa]

It's better.

[50 Cent]

June is one of the groups that had the biggest impact in New York City.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's a fact.

[50 Cent]

And let's keep it real mixtape wise. We was killing on mixtapes when had albums. His mixtape Will Kill album.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But Fab was signed to the mix. Okay.

[50 Cent]

Banks mixtape can kill a lot of Fab shit, but I'm just keeping it real. That's just my opinion. I know somebody's gonna. It's a debatable cause Fab is a good lyricist, but I'm going with Lloyd Banks all the time.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But I think when people lean into Fab is because commercially Fab had a longer run than you got.

[50 Cent]

You gotta remember this. Remember we was beefing with the Locks.

[Public Service Announcement Voice]

Yeah.

[50 Cent]

Remember when they had Green Lantern on the phone and all that? And what's the name? Thank you, Jess. Remember we had Greenland on the phone and they was like, yo, look out for the young boy we gotta look out for. Come on, bro. Banks is a torpedo, bro. I'm telling you, when it comes to bars, can't with them, bro.

[DJ Envy]

A lot. A lot of bank stuff is G Unit related. But when it comes to that catalog.

[50 Cent]

I mean, now we gonna say G Unit related.

[Tony Yayo]

That's not why you said that.

[DJ Envy]

I am not Desert Storm. But the reason is you Desert Storm.

[50 Cent]

That's a stor. It's the same thing.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Click right now.

[50 Cent]

Now Charlamagne, now we talk to 50. Now you talk to DJ back then. No.

[DJ Envy]

Cause 50 only talked to one DJ back there. Two DJs back then.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Who?

[DJ Envy]

It was Flex and Mr. C. That was the.

[50 Cent]

That's when shit first niggas said we. There's niggas going around saying 50 ruined New York City hip hop. Cause we beef with nigg just cause we don't like it wasn't like. I was just used to not hanging with that. It's all about loyalty, right? Y' all never want to keep it real and say how many 50 really help. But when I say yo, nah, shout out to 50. Yo, he glazing or he's washing his car, they call me.

[DJ Envy]

They say I'm not.

[50 Cent]

That don't matter to me. Cause I'm a street. I'm good. Like I don't care.

[Guest/Interviewer]

So y' all started out not liking or y' all just, you know.

[50 Cent]

Y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All grew that out, like.

[Tony Yayo]

Good question, J.

[Guest/Interviewer]

How does that. How that worked?

[50 Cent]

There was once upon a time Jamaica, Queens. Ja Rule got robbed by a guy that's locked up. His name is Troy. Infamous stick up kid. Everybody knows the story. And that's how the whole story begins. Ja Rule was a singer. We were street guys. I never heard of Irv Gotti. Rest in peace to him. If you wanna say it. I'm not saying it. But y' all wanna say it. I'm not saying it. I'm saying if they wanna say it. And then we just end up, you know, I came in the game with 50, hanging around gym Master J, early Columbia days. And that's, you know, I'm just loyal to who I fuck with. When I came in the rap game, I realized all this shit is fake. Cause you realize, oh, this is my friend, and this is my friend. And when you get into business and you get that record deal and you start realizing people ain't your friends. Like me and Murder, we friends. Sometimes we don't really fuck with each other like that.

[Tony Yayo]

But we don't get some mic together.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Kelly in the back. Kelly is like, oh, my God, what is going on?

[50 Cent]

What did I get into, Jess? You think I like everybody I be on tour. You be on tour. You a big comedian. You think you don't like everybody you on tour with? There you go.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Murder.

[50 Cent]

We cool, but this other niggas.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Let me ask you a question. Yo, who was the. When y' all was going back and forth with people on records, who had the best disses towards G Unit?

[50 Cent]

Nobody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Crazy. The Locks.

[DJ Envy]

You just said Kiss.

[50 Cent]

Oh, yeah, the Locks.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, they was going crazy.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, kissing them.

[50 Cent]

They went crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[50 Cent]

I was in my feelings.

[Tony Yayo]

I was in my feelings.

[50 Cent]

Jada, Kiss. Get busy, though. But remember that phone call? Look out for the young boy. Remember that? Now you got to play the vocal. They don't forget.

[Lauren LaRosa]

I don't know.

[Guest/Interviewer]

You gota tell me.

[50 Cent]

A long time ago, when we was in that battle, right? Jada Kiss recorded DJ Green Lantern, which was Eminem DJ at the time, founded Uncle Murder. He got fired.

[Tony Yayo]

Said after I told you no Green Lantern. Slanter man. Shout out to Greenland, man.

[50 Cent]

Slanter slander, Smoke too much. We had this morning. Now, look, okay, Shout out to Greenland. So he. So Jadakiss recorded him. Early Days recorded him. You know how 50B recording.

[Tony Yayo]

That was a young Jadakiss.

[50 Cent]

So look, it's cool. He recorded him. He recorded him and he was like, yo, we gotta worry about the young boy and all that. He was referring to Banks, you know, he got Greenland, got fired the next day. Cause 50 is you know he's the hottest nigga on the planet. Eminem, fire.

[Tony Yayo]

Shout out to Greenland.

[50 Cent]

Fired Greenland. Cause he was playing both sides of the gates, like industry niggas do. And he's shouting them out. And he's shouting them out. Cause there's no loyalty. That's why I don't fuck with these people. I don't want to be friends with. He was friends with rappers. I was never friends with rappers. So back to the story. Greenland was playing both sides of the gate, like industry do, man.

[Tony Yayo]

Shout out to Greenland.

[50 Cent]

J blew him. Look, Jiss blew him up. Jiss blew him up. And he got fired by Eminem or. Or Paul Rosenberg or whoever it is. You know, I don't give a. I don't have no filter.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

What's wrong?

[50 Cent]

Me? I'm like, you just had me tiles like, yo, who here?

[Tony Yayo]

I make everybody here except for you. You making it worse.

[50 Cent]

I'm in traffic. It's the Breakfast Club, y'.

[DJ Envy]

All.

[50 Cent]

Snow and all that. Yeah, I was. This is Breakfast Club, cuz. We All I saying is, when you're.

[Tony Yayo]

Early, you're on time.

[50 Cent]

When you're on time, you're late.

[Tony Yayo]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And then Murder say, you ain't never late for Vlad.

[50 Cent]

Don't say that. You leave Vlad, too Charlotte, man. You said you never laid Vlad. You said when that private jet there.

[Tony Yayo]

You never let.

[50 Cent]

My God. I mess with Vlad. Shout to Vlad, man.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Listen, if G Unit came out today, right, in today's Internet era, do you think it survives the same way?

[50 Cent]

Hell, yeah.

[Tony Yayo]

I think it'd be bigger. All the actual shootout shit, that was really happening. Oh, my God.

[50 Cent]

Shit, nowadays, I don't know, it's like. It's like, I think, like, being down with, like, other rappers. I think sometimes it'd be like, yo, how would it be to be around Khan? Kanye, he'll be down with them. Or maybe how would it be around Jay Z? Because he was around Jay Z and everything. And then you around 50, and you, like, in the best hotels. Amani Hotel. Yeah, we in the Four Seasons. Murder ain't never been in no like that.

[Tony Yayo]

It is the difference between. It is the difference between. It is a difference. It's a difference.

[50 Cent]

You know what I'm saying? Smoke, Duck. You see these other dudes is what I be saying about the local. These want to be local. Bodega, chill, chop. This just like doing other. Ain't got no guns. We in Morocco. We. We in Milan. We with Leonardo. He just bought Suprem. We with the. Yeah, we were tillman this Guy owns like 2, 300.

[Tony Yayo]

He owned 800 restaurants.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Indian butter chicken in India.

[50 Cent]

Nah, I didn't try that. I know the curry was kind of spicy, so we wasn't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, the Thai red curry.

[50 Cent]

Yeah, it was. Some like, that was super spicy, man. You know, I'm Haitian, so that was just crazy. But back to him with Jay Z and these. Shut the up.

[Tony Yayo]

Yeah.

[50 Cent]

Yo, get the out. Look, let's never know that they be helping. A lot of.

[DJ Envy]

You say 50 was better than sign to than anybody else.

[Tony Yayo]

Why?

[DJ Envy]

Why was he better than Jay?

[Tony Yayo]

He know that because, you know, 50. Actually, I feel like he. He gets involved with you, and he actually wants, like, to make you win. I. I feel like when I was with Jay, it was more like, you know, do your thing. And if some happens, then I come salute you forever. Thankful, though. Thankful, you know what I'm saying? For the opportunity like that. But with fifth is like, he more kind of like. I remember the first thing, I was in the office when I did the deal with Fif. It was a couple weeks after we did this new deal, right? He just came to me, said, yo, you got a house? I said, nah, I wasn't even thinking about having a house at this time, because I'm cool with my car, know what I'm having. He just came to me like, yo, you got a house? I'm like, nah. He said, we gonna get you one, and just. Just walked away. I'm like, damn, look at this. Ask him if she asked him that. No, Jay asked me that, nigga. You know what I'm saying? But I feel like Fifth just like. I don't know. He just put you in position more to win. Like, he wanted to see you do things even with me. Fifth don't even really. I know my value and what I bring to the table, right? I know what I things I do. But Fifth don't. He ain't need me to do what he's doing. He chose to have me around and like, yo, I want to put you in this position. I want to see your family do good. I want to see you tell the truth. Real talk. You know what I'm saying?

[50 Cent]

So murder was the truth? Yeah, Murder was stupid. Years ago, he thought he was 50 Cent. He was supposed to sign, 51 to sign, and we was with him, and he ain't want to sign because he thought he was 50 Cent at that point.

[Tony Yayo]

This was God bless with Chris Light. I was feeling like when you. When you get in the momentum and you got. Hey, but you Know, I'm getting my records played on the radio every day, smoking. You got Mariah Carey shouting me out and like that. You got Chris Lighty really with me and all that, getting records on the radio every day. I'm talking about people at that time, too. Yeah, I'm feeling like 50 Cent. I'm feeling like I might could go bigger than 50 cent at this time. I'm feeling like I'm big Chris Lighty. Don't even tell me 50 Cent is coming to the meeting. So as I'm in the with Chris Lighty, we just pumped up. We in the office. He letting us smoke. I'm a one time buster walked in there and we just smoking. And Chris like, he said, jim, I know you popping, you know what I'm saying? Because we just smoking in the office and Chris ain't got a problem with it. So me and my guys, as we all in there, just waiting to have the. The second meeting with Chris Light, we just in there chilling. 50 just walked in the meeting. What's up, nigga? Looking for a record deal. I'm caught off guard.

[50 Cent]

Hard.

[Tony Yayo]

I'm like, oh. Cause I said things about 50 of my music going to come up too. I'm like, not for me. I'm like, yo, not from you. I'm on defense. I'm like, like, I heard that. You said, but you don't know me. We don't got no real beef. Ain't no. I don't know you, you don't know me. We don't got no problem.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

And that was fifth playbook, too.

[Tony Yayo]

He said, I did the same.

[Atlanta Is Podcast Narrator]

You did.

[Tony Yayo]

Like, I don't know you. Ain't no beef. But in my head, I'm like, I don't know. Like, you young at the time. So I'm thinking like, man, probably trying to set us up and just. Just put us on the shelf and say, y'. All. You know what I'm saying? So that's what we was on defense at the time. I think years later, you realize, damn, he was genuine about the cuz. He brought us out to Governor's island and all that. And I remember seeing he like, yo, how that Jay Z worked out for you? Damn. I was like, he like, yeah, you up. You know what I'm saying? But he was about to get a situation at Dev Jam. He told me, if everything go right, we going to make it right this time. But unfortunately, Chris Lighty passed away and that situation never worked out.

[50 Cent]

See, he would have been. He would have been in Dubai back then. To Dubai, like 0405. Or like, like. And people could say, oh, yeah, you. You're the worst rapper in G Unit. Whatever. You could say whatever you feel or feel like the worst. I do shows on my own. Like, I do my own. No, let's talk the facts. The average rapper ain't gonna be in the Swiss Alps, eating bison on a mountain. Booked. You ain't gonna be in Stuttgart. You're not going to be in Luxembourg, chilling by the Louis store, doing. You're not going to be doing none of that. That's why. But look, John Cena. Look, John Cena. Hot ones. I created the show. Like.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So why can't Jay Z get the benefit of the doubt that maybe he just be having things that don't go well with artists too? If that happened with.

It's the industry, and I understand it. That's why I stay away from. I don't want to be around. But look, I got my own acting coming out without 50. Yeah. You know, I do some of the big. I'm cool. I did Kill Tony podcast. I did Shannon Sharp. I did a lot of different things, like, because people want to keep you in just in this urban box. But I'll be moving around like I'm cool with a lot of people now.

When they were saying f the streets? Cause that's where it started from the F the streets thing.

[50 Cent]

I looked at it like it's all F the streets.

[Tony Yayo]

If you from the street, you know, it's a way to worry what you're trying to say.

[50 Cent]

I look at the way you word it. Like if you say stay, stay off the streets. From the. That's kind of different. I think that's what is saying and is kind of misconstrued because who want to be in the streets. Like, I want to be eating bison in the Swiss Alps and smoked duck in Morocco. You know what I'm saying?

[Tony Yayo]

Caviar pancakes.

[50 Cent]

Yeah, caviar pancakes. I don't want to be in front of the store all day. I'll stop and say what's up to somebody just like y' all would.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You ever had emphasizes in Argentina? Argentina?

[50 Cent]

What?

[Tony Yayo]

Argentina?

[50 Cent]

I don't know. I don't know. I don't think he probably had empanadas from the hood, though. But probably we've been. We've been everywhere in the world. For me, that's something that when I'm not here, I could take with me, you know what I'm saying? Forever. We've been everywhere. Literally. That's the best experience, man, y' all.

[Guest/Interviewer]

Gonna drop that m that merch again. The G unit. Remember the little G unit tank tops with the nipples out? Like.

[50 Cent]

I never had one of those.

[Guest/Interviewer]

Man.

[50 Cent]

I used to them 50, 50. Got the G top on. That muscles for that. I do push ups, not push ups. So how do y'.

[Lauren LaRosa]

All.

[Guest/Interviewer]

All right, so on the Real Report, if you. Yo, how what artist or what guest? How do y' all even get guests.

[50 Cent]

To deal with nobody? I don't think y' all need with the rapper, though.

[Tony Yayo]

Do most of the talk.

[50 Cent]

Should he stop the rap? I think he should stop the wrap up for the Real Report. I think we should stop. Nah, we need to stop it because we going to need some guests.

[Tony Yayo]

Crazy.

[50 Cent]

Talk about food.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y' all can talk about. Y' all can talk about.

[50 Cent]

Yo, look, let me tell you, this is the craziest about murder, right? Was it. It was Jermaine Dupree. We was in parties. Me, Jermaine Dupri and Nelly. And Jermaine Dupri stepped to him like, yo, no more wrap ups for you, nigga. Stop. Stop, Jermaine.

[Tony Yayo]

I just hope I'm never in the rap up.

[50 Cent]

It affects a lot of people. Like, I never want to be in it. I'm like, we got the podcast now. Shout out to the volume, you know, shout out to everybody over there. We trying to get the podcast. Should he stop for the next year?

[Guest/Interviewer]

No, no, I don't think so.

[50 Cent]

I think y' all could do better.

[Lauren LaRosa]

And when you be doing the interviews, people.

[50 Cent]

But he's dissing everybody.

[Tony Yayo]

And he don't realize he disrespect people. Pissed off, too.

[Lauren LaRosa]

The bleed cover.

[Tony Yayo]

That's what 50 told me. 50 said, yo, listen, he pisses everybody off.

[DJ Envy]

They ask you questions, and you just start going.

[Lauren LaRosa]

That Bleak conversation. I. I do feel like, let's talk about that. Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Because I. Memphis Bleak vs Tony Yayo.

[50 Cent]

Who you got? Who you got? Who you got? Who you got? Who you got? Who you got? See, don't we got some joints, man?

[Lauren LaRosa]

Were you trying to be. Cause when I watched it, I didn't think you were trying to be disrespectful. I thought you were just talking, like, saying how you feel about the difference in your friendships. Were you trying to play with.

[50 Cent]

No, I wasn't. That's what it was. It was the difference in the friendships. Like Jay Z look like. You see, Beanie Siegel, he wanted to sign. Remember, he wanted to sign the G Unit. You see, yo, that's the most money I would have seen with 50, right? Remember Kanye was supposed to give him some bread. Never gave it to him. Industry, right? Fabulous. Was supposed to sign. He wanted to sign. Yo, I gotta get down with G Unit. Y' all niggas is just. I might go platinum over there. Know what I'm saying? No Fab Soul Records. But come on, we was gonna. Platinum for breakfast and all that. And the thing is, look, the thing is with Bleak is like. What I'm saying is what I was seeing, like, Jay Z was more of like. I think one time we was at, like, TRL or MTV or something. Something. And Hervane was there with the Young Guns, right? And I was there, and my singles dropped. I'm like, damn, I was complaining about something. He was like, and Herve, Rest in Peace, Interscope. And he was like, look at these guys. Jay Z ain't gonna help them. 50 helps you. You don't worry. So that was always stuck in my head from the beginning. That's just one story with the Young Guns.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, but Jay always put Bleak in position. Bleak was on all Jay's albums. He would intro. He introed Hard Knock Life. That's Jay's biggest selling album. Even after all of the years, he does different business.

[50 Cent]

Like, opened a restaurant in Vegas, and Jay said, he ain't going to that. Or something like that. Damn, that's. Look It Up.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He probably was joking.

[50 Cent]

Pulling up.

[Guest/Interviewer]

But what kind of fool was it?

[50 Cent]

All I'm saying is, look, it's a difference. Like, Jay's rhyming about basquiats, and he's getting his house designed by. What's the guy named? Tato Ado. Look him up. He's like some.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He got bleak will.

[50 Cent]

Yeah, he's kind of. Jay is like in the Hamptons allegedly. Look, come on, you believe that? He's riding bikes in the Hamptons. Fifth is still, you know, go get a chopped cheese, yo. What's up, my. Like, he still might, you know, Fifth is like the closest thing to the hood we got left. It was three that really got money in New York City. 50, Diddy and Jay. So there's always going to be that comparison. I'm always going to compare them. I'm not knocking anything Jay did or Diddy or this, but I'm just saying.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But if you look at Jay, whole close circle, they all right there with him all getting money.

[50 Cent]

They the Emerys, I understand, but the tatas. Oh, yeah, but what happened to the young guns and Beanie Civil discrete, sadly.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, you hate to say it.

[50 Cent]

Tata, them eating. Yeah, that's his man's. And OG Juan. Yeah, for sure.

[Lauren LaRosa]

What happened? Like. Like little Meech in that situation. There's been situations that didn't go well with 50. And it might not be his fault, but things don't go well all the time.

[50 Cent]

What you mean? How. How's 50 in the wrong? If I put you on you, you don't have to be loyal, but you could show. Show some kind of respect, you know, if you making. I'm not. Look, that made 5 million. I ain't make that money. You could have put me in that. I would have played my part and been like everybody when they said 50.

[DJ Envy]

Put Little Meech in acting lessons before that.

[50 Cent]

Look up little Meech when he was rapping with the dreads and all that in Detroit. And nobody look it up. Y' all don't know look it up. So you see a rapping with dreads. Nobody trust you. I'm be honest.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I did hear about the bleak Vegas, but I didn't want to say yeah. Because I don't want to help your argument.

[50 Cent]

Yeah, there you go. Because, you know, I'm in the room. Look up Meech.

[Lauren LaRosa]

But I. I just want to say.

[50 Cent]

So look, a 10,000. Let me ask you a question. Because you seem like you're smart and you smart and you're smart. Would you buy ten thousand dollar jeans?

[Guest/Interviewer]

No, no, no.

[50 Cent]

Once you start getting into that chrome hard jean and.

[Guest/Interviewer]

Oh, yeah, because you.

[50 Cent]

You got to keep it in. When you make 5 million, what you really make, what? 2.2 because you got to pay the taxes, right? Come on. Young don't know that. We all made mistakes before, right?

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So there's never a reason to buy a $10,000 pair of jeans.

[Tony Yayo]

Definitely not at all.

[Guest/Interviewer]

He got a little bit of hits. He was rapping.

[50 Cent]

Nobody else was putting them on. Not Rick Ross, not nobody.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Y' all don't know if y' all need a podcast, man, this shit going. That shit will be a little crazy.

[50 Cent]

We got to shoot us. Don't worry about it. Look.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Kelly, kelly, kelly.

[Tony Yayo]

Okay, right.

[50 Cent]

Kelly got a. Kelly's like what. I'm saying in my name.

[Guest/Interviewer]

Yeah.

[50 Cent]

Now that. That guy's like some Japanese architect.

[Guest/Interviewer]

He's 84 years old.

[50 Cent]

There you go. So he's on some, like, Bougie Basquiat art.

[Guest/Interviewer]

You know, he known for that.

[50 Cent]

We went in Roc Nation, we seen it in them art show in there. It was arty in there. It was kind of.

[Tony Yayo]

When we did Joe and J, it.

[50 Cent]

Was the most weird feeling in the world going in there, too.

[Guest/Interviewer]

What was weird about it?

[50 Cent]

Because you never know who you going to see in there, you know, he.

[Tony Yayo]

Kept feeling like Jay Z had some ninjas going to jump out the door. I don't know why he was taking that.

[50 Cent]

Joe said, look out for his sister. His sister's dangerous. So I was like, what? Yeah, she might.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I mean, that's still got to be kind of uncomfortable, though, cuz even though you, You. You enjoy on good times terms, there's still members of Terror Squad that probably like, nine.

[50 Cent]

No, I'm cool.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I've never seen y'. All no picture with Khaled. Khaled is not.

[50 Cent]

Oh, not Khaled ain't messing with us, DJ. That's cool.

[Tony Yayo]

Now, Khaled was at.

[50 Cent]

The locks, 50.

[Tony Yayo]

Came out to perform one of the shows. Khaled was there.

[50 Cent]

It was.

[Tony Yayo]

It was. It wasn't. Not too crazy.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Real, yo.

[50 Cent]

Yeah, radio station, little altercation, you know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, I heard about that.

[50 Cent]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know. You know, I told who was at the time, Nelson, let's not go to Khaled. And, you know, we went there and it almost got crazy. And this is after shot nine. So, you know, so it was kind of crazy after that. It was like two days later. I remember what's her name? She was at. It's Tupac's birthday. Chill, yo, it's Tupac, yo. Fuck all that. I saw you. Listen, when it come to going through real shit, Yayo went through the most real shit in hip hop.

[Tony Yayo]

I don't care.

[50 Cent]

I went through the most beef and be like, yo, talk. I catch the bullets, too. Like, don't. I'm used to moving a certain way.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But you had to respect Cal for that because you would do the same thing. If you know, fifth ass smoke with somebody and they came in, try to shake your hand. I'm sure you'd be like, nah, yeah, he did it.

[50 Cent]

So, yeah, he know it's the industry, man.

[DJ Envy]

He said, I did it.

[Tony Yayo]

Try to dap your hand up that you might not have a certain. Nah, it's the industry.

[50 Cent]

I remember one time, time, like, remember 5th was this in Wuang, back in the days. Look it up. Remember that?

[Tony Yayo]

I don't remember that.

[DJ Envy]

Fifth, the winning, everybody who for Wuang.

[50 Cent]

Then we did a show, right? And one of them was like, yo, they. They whispered, yo, tell everybody just 50. None of them other G unit. So I know, like Ghostface.

[Tony Yayo]

He know.

[50 Cent]

He gave Ghostface that one.

[Tony Yayo]

Listen, man, I forgot.

[50 Cent]

I ain't got no beef with nobody Mad.

[Tony Yayo]

I gave Ghostface to that.

[50 Cent]

I wasn't mad. I just. You said you messed with dogs 20 years ago, though.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[50 Cent]

I'm like, nigga, this nigga's crazy, right? Listen, yo, for me, Jess, you.

[Tony Yayo]

We had one of the power premieres.

[50 Cent]

You hear me?

[Tony Yayo]

We had a premiere ghost behind us. I don't even know this, how ill he is, right? I see ghost, yo, my boom, boom, boom. He waits about 15 minutes later, too. Yeah, I seen you get that ghost face dab, too. You moving funny.

[50 Cent]

I'm like, what the. This nigga's crazy. Hold on. Method man ain't cool, but everybody don't like me. Look, this what I realize. Look, when you got money, look, and money and power, you could dis. Look, you could diss. All these cool with you, cuz you got money and power. Let's keep it real. Y ain't got that money and power 50 got. So they like, yeah, we cool with 50 now.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Time is, man, decades, decades later.

[50 Cent]

I'm telling you, you got power with money. Just like the Diddy. If I had that money, I'd be on the island somewhere. I wouldn't be partying with my little homies, him little sons and all that nipples. Because when you got money and power, even if you in the wrong, people's gonna side with you because you got money in power.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah.

[50 Cent]

But you gotta have. When you have power, what do you have to do? You have to be accountable for your actions.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's true.

[50 Cent]

So a lot of people with power are not accountable. And that's what happened with Diddy. It's just nobody want to talk about it because the game is selective politicking Y' all pick and choose who y' all want to call a snitch. Y' all pick and choose who's this? Y' all pick and choose that. I don't give a fuck.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

So let's. Do you think hip hop holds people accountable or people just move on?

[50 Cent]

I think when you got money and you do something stupid and the person don't got money and wish they had your money and status, they're gonna be like, man, I that stupid. Because that's what I'm gonna say. If you got way more money than me, if, if, if from Amazon mess up tomorrow. I'm like, yo, that stupid. That worth billions, bro. He gave his wife a billion. Like it wasn't nothing. He just up the bag. That's what they gonna say. Even with y'. All, yo, that yo, just hilarious. Wild out, yo, I'm suing her. They gonna sue you. Oh, wow. You're gonna lose money. So for me, you got to find yourself accountable. Especially when we had lawsuits. Somebody get their jaw, bro, you start learning, oh, that's 50, 000 right there. Then, oh, yo, it's your fault, 50. Like, yo, it's your fault, cuz. They really suing 50, they ain't going to suit me. I got, Yeah, like P. Diddy going for that big bag. You know how that go for the big bag.

[Lauren LaRosa]

So with the Diddy doc, when people were saying like, 50's wrong for doing whatever, whatever, that probably pissed you off because it's like, why we.

[50 Cent]

No, I look at it like the 40 day laws of power don't just say destroy your enemy and, and don't.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Offend the wrong person.

[50 Cent]

I read the Bible too now, but I mean, I just feel like it's not like he was in the shit dissing him. He was like, he had an opportunity and he took it. And it's cool and it's business and.

[Tony Yayo]

It was number one.

[50 Cent]

People don't know the stuff that Diddy say about us behind the scenes or what. Y' all don't know that. Y' all don't know what goes on behind the scenes.

[Guest/Interviewer]

And he didn't make any of it up. Like it was everybody giving their testimonies. It was like you said, it's not like he was in the shit when you have money.

[Tony Yayo]

He was number one. So long for all the people that were saying that, didn't they didn't. I'm not supporting. And those same people.

[50 Cent]

If you had a billion dollars, what would you do knowing you got a billion dollars? You know Everybody's thirsty. People want to kill you people. What would you do if you had a billion dollars?

[Guest/Interviewer]

I'm taking my family and I'm leaving. Yeah, getting out of here.

[50 Cent]

You'll never hear you have parties at your crib. Nah, nah. There you go.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Definitely not rubbing nut on my nipples. What they did say.

[50 Cent]

It just be, yo, yo. It just be little funny shit like, yo, y' all with them on that side. Or you know how to, you know how there's industry.

[Lauren LaRosa]

He be trying to stop corporate or he was trying to stop, like corporate bags.

[50 Cent]

It could be corporate or street. Just be trying to sway towards their way. You know how the industry is, man. You know how the game go.

[DJ Envy]

Now both of you guys are, are into hip hop? Of course. What's your thoughts on jcole him coming back?

[50 Cent]

I didn't hear the mixtape. I heard it was fire, but I heard he was talking about shooting people.

[DJ Envy]

I thought about it, that we were talking about battle.

[50 Cent]

Didn't he say he gonna shoot something? I heard some lines going viral. It was not. See, I KN going on shoot your.

[DJ Envy]

Dog like Mike Vic.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

It was like, like that, that line.

[50 Cent]

Went viral, cuz we used to, you.

[Tony Yayo]

Know, not hearing J. Cole talking about.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He said he don't feel comfortable around real gangsters. That's what he actually said, that.

[Guest/Interviewer]

Oh, damn.

[DJ Envy]

Yeah, but I was asking, so what you thought? We were thinking about it today, right? And Charlamagne was like, when he backed out the battle, that kind of took the point that he could even be top three, right?

[Tony Yayo]

He top one.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I just say that, I just said that. There, there is no more big three. Because when all three of them had the opportunity to engage, Cole decided to put his toe in and then he backed out. So it was just Kendrick and Drake. Kendrick won. Kendrick number one. Not a big three.

[50 Cent]

Shit is dead.

[DJ Envy]

Thoughts?

[50 Cent]

Thoughts on what? The big three.

[DJ Envy]

What do you think J. Cole coming back? Could he still have that top position or no?

[50 Cent]

Yeah, I think he could come back with some records.

[Tony Yayo]

I don't, I don't think he could be that dude. I think the way he backed out of that battle, I think the way he stepped down, you know, look, J. Cole used to. No, no, jcole. Every time I, I, I heard him rap, he was damn near talking about how no other MCs wanted with him and when, if they ever do try to step in the ring with him, how he's gonna bite they head off. Pause. That's what I used to hear from J. Cole a lot. Damn it. No matter what the Song topic was the song might be talking about something else, like uplifting something. He's just still talking about. I'm the best rapper.

[50 Cent]

That's right.

[Tony Yayo]

It didn't matter a female song. He's talking about being the best rapper.

[50 Cent]

What's that song? He.

[Tony Yayo]

My thing is, when it came time to show that you could actually be the best rapper.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

That's right.

[Tony Yayo]

It fell back.

[50 Cent]

Okay, what's that song? He had stood down when he's talking about make the girl for the first time, how they go.

[Tony Yayo]

What that got to do with time to show up?

[50 Cent]

No, he. If he make one of those again, he. He good.

[Tony Yayo]

I mean, gonna still look at him like, all right, whatever, that's cool.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

He gonna come out with good music. He's just not gonna be that guy.

[Tony Yayo]

He's not that guy. That's not that no more.

[50 Cent]

You never know. Who, who's your top three right now though? Who? You said? Yeah, top three. Cause I'll tell you who.

[Tony Yayo]

I think the game is all over the place.

[50 Cent]

I'm going with NBA Youngboy number one. I'm going with Gunna number two.

[Tony Yayo]

I'm just saying, I'm going with.

[50 Cent]

I'm talking about with hit records and doing concerts, the whole package.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Kendrick not know number one. Who. Kendrick came world tour, eating, freaking.

[50 Cent]

No, I'm not.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

I'm in Amsterdam.

[Tony Yayo]

I'm talking.

[50 Cent]

They solidified Kendrick and Drake and all the playboy cars right now. I'mma go with NBA young boy G and number three. What would you say?

[Tony Yayo]

I don't know.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

My three new don't ain't even like really popping yet. I got like Ruben, Vincent, Marco, plus dude, Chris Patrick from Jersey, Kai Cash from here in New York. Them dudes is nice, but they, they like that. Next.

[DJ Envy]

What about.

[50 Cent]

I'm just talking about. I'm talking about concert wise, like the total package.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Like, oh, young boy doing the live nation.

[50 Cent]

I'm not just going off of lyrics and material. I go around the overall artist like. You know what I'm saying? Like some rappers will never see Live nation. They'll never see them kind of.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You know, there's really only one really young boy.

[50 Cent]

Young boy NBA young boy selling out crazy shows, everybody.

[DJ Envy]

He got more records on the radio.

[50 Cent]

Than a lot of these are number three. I'm indecisive with that, I would think. But I know them. I'll put them.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

You got to correct murder. He got you earlier.

[50 Cent]

He said slander. Slatter early. He said slatter. Slander, Slander. What I was supposed to say, let me do vocabulary. Glorilla.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Oh, Big Glow.

[Tony Yayo]

I can't front on Glow, but I.

[50 Cent]

Put the girl rappers in no number. Cast rappers.

[Tony Yayo]

No, don't do that. You can't do that. Don't do that.

[Guest/Interviewer]

I tend to do that too, though.

[Tony Yayo]

Like, back in the days, you know.

[Guest/Interviewer]

Like, back in the days, I don't.

[50 Cent]

Know why I feel like the girl rappers are cool, but, like, back in the days, you could put MC Light against.

[Guest/Interviewer]

Okay, yeah, that's a different character.

[50 Cent]

Queen Latifah against a. I mean, the.

[Tony Yayo]

Way some of these dudes is rapping nowadays, you could put Glorillas against some of them, and I think she'll walk.

[50 Cent]

I'm not. I don'.

[Tony Yayo]

With a lot of these.

[50 Cent]

I'm not saying they ain't fire. I'm just saying back then, like, MC Light. Come on. Back in the days. Come on. She was super lyrical. You could put her against the. I just. Like, I'm stuck in the 80s and 90s when I'm in my car. Don't mind me. Don't.

[Tony Yayo]

Why.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Why did you admit that you didn't get shot in the head? Like, what made you do that in that moment? Like, why?

[Tony Yayo]

I mean, you know, cuz the. The. My plan didn't work back then.

[Lauren LaRosa]

Yeah.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

Yeah, you.

[Tony Yayo]

So I was really trying to go for the hype back then. I remember even I told Ms. Info y' all call you when the bullet fall out my head to try to keep the story going a little long.

[50 Cent]

Crazy. I.

[Tony Yayo]

To keep it going a little longer. You can highlight this info. She'll tell you. But I needed some kind of promotion back then. And I felt like everything was kind of dead at the time. Greenland territory. I felt like it was just there. So I needed some promotion. So being that I did get shot at and I had, you know, allegedly, back in the days, I had shootouts with police like that. So when the police came, like, yo, what happened? You got shot? First thing I thought came here. Yeah, police shot me, man. Y' all shot me. Like, stop playing so much. But I. I thought it was gonna work as far as.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

No, but I mean, what made you tell that story now? Like, what made you tell the truth?

[Tony Yayo]

Oh, because it. It didn't work. So my thing is, like, the. I was trying back then. It really didn't work. I was. I was going for the promotion. Get shot in the head. You know, kind of the 50 get shot in the head. Oh, my God. He survived the head shot. The music dropped.

[DJ Envy]

Boom.

[Tony Yayo]

This the. That got shot. Head, boom. Y' all shaking your head the way I wanted to.

[50 Cent]

Ignorant. Just say it was ignorant.

[Tony Yayo]

It was ignorant. But I actually, I never forget what I call. We called Jay Brown to him Jay Z. Like, like, yo, yo, yo. Murray got shot in the head like, yo, let's run with this, y'.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

All.

[Tony Yayo]

They like, man, J. Brown was like, I don't think we running with that like that.

[Charlamagne Tha God]

But it got me in trouble one time, cuz I remember I was in the studio with Mayo back in the day. You probably remember that, cuz I was just a little back then, I'm sitting there and you had got into it with somebody and you said, yeah, man, the swung and they was acting like they about to jump me. So I reached in my and act like I was about to pull. So if you watch the can, I get a drop. I try to ride that. Them ain't scattered.

[50 Cent]

When I turned around, I'm looking like I got some. Them kept coming.

[Tony Yayo]

You got to be good at that, man. You got to have experience.

[DJ Envy]

You got to have a fought at all.

[50 Cent]

Why you want us to fight? You want us to fight brothers like, you know.

[Tony Yayo]

You want to hear a funny story? We didn't fight right, but we came close. And why? Because when we overseas, when we came.

[50 Cent]
