In between two concert dates, Tony Yayo took the time to chat with SOHH.com and address The Source Magazine's G-Unot cover and his disappointing album sales.
Yayo phoned into Star and Bucwild's morning show last month and told (New York) Power 105.1's audience that he warned Source Chief Brand Executive Raymond "Benzino" Scott never to write about G-Unit again. According to Yayo, Benzino was shook and wanted to talk with the G-Unit rapper. Several weeks later, The Source released its November issue, taunting "G-Unot" on the cover.
"My response is no more passes cause I sat back and I gave him [Benzino] a pass," Yayo told SOHH.com. "He disrespected me by doing that. I'm bigger than that. Anybody who has to use a magazine as a weapon is soft. He can't even go through Boston. They set his car on fire. I'm doing a show in his town tomorrow. I'll say what I gotta say there.
Upon dropping Thoughts Of A Predicate Felon on August 30th, Yayo sold 214,687 CDs in his first week according to Nielsen's SoundScan. In the G-Unot issue, The Source notes the sales numbers and claim it's an indicator that the G-Unit brand is slipping. Yayo disagrees.
"Dudes is haters," says Yayo. "I did 215 [two hundred and fifteen thousand units] my first week with Kanye West [debuting as well]. My second week I dropped down to I think it was 60, by 33 percent something like that. Kanye West dropped down to the same numbers, but ain't nobody say nothing to him about it. But it's me, so they're like, 'Ohhh, Interscope is buying my records.' That's what he was saying to try to assassinate my character.
"I could have did more than 215,000," he adds. "I dropped the same day as Kanye-he's a Grammy Award winner and had way more promotion than me. [He had] Pepsi commercials, all kinds of things that I couldn't do. That was one of the biggest numbers that came out this year. Everybody else that came out was doing 100,000 and change. I did 215 with a Grammy award winner."
Yayo is presently touring the country as part of his "Thoughts Of A Predicate Felon" tour. The Queens, NY rapper is also prepping the release of Free Yayo, a video game soon to be available on wireless phones. He's also in talks to release his own liquor, start an adult entertainment agency and is soon to appear in 50 Cent's Bulletproof video game and Get Rich Or Die Trying soundtrack.
Get Rich Or Die Trying's soundtrack features Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, Olivia, Mobb Deep and M.O.P. is scheduled to hit stores November 8th.
stop coming with excuses and just say that you´re never gonna talk shit about another rapper for selling 950k when you can´t even move those units yourself ;D
-
Yayo's a dumbass
-
both of those dudes are fuckin stupid
-
yayo did alot of his own promo by sayin "fuck dblock! fuck fat joe! fuck game!" etc etc and sayin he wont flop so i dun see that as an excuse for him...
-
Yayo needs to look out for new opportunities on the job market.
-
He should just stick to yelling over other people's beats cause that the only thing he's good at.Tony Yayo>>>Lil Jon
-
olivia has to go job hunting with yayo
-

-
^Every DJ needs to take lessons from Yayo,seriously,he's the only guy who does it right.
-

-
Yayo gave Zino a pass? WTF? Yayo is on parole right? He can't do sh*t without going back to jail.
Also, Zino is shook? Yeah, so shook that he disregarded everything Yayo said and dropped the bomb on G-Unit in his mag.

Funny how much a person can talk shit, then when his ass is embarsed, he can make twice ass many excuses.

-
??? at this bum broke ass yayo thinkin he could've sold more. LOL.
-
yayo shoulda stayed his ass in jail....
-
man the mods on dubcc are some bitches. i remember posting in this thread. why was this one erased?
-
Yayo is so pathetic that I get embarrassed for him. Whether Kanye is dropping the same time as you or not, people are eventually gonna cop your record. The sinple fact is, Yayo has no buzz whatsoever. He was on MTV, BET, all over TV, and still no buzz in the streets. That's why Interscope isn't even trying to promote his ass anymore. You flopped on your debut album dogg, retire and become 50's hype man.
