Tony Yayo isn\u2019t entertaining the thought of taking on Memphis Bleek in a potential Verzuz battle, as the G-Unit<\/a> rapper doesn\u2019t even think it would make for a fair fight.<\/p>\n Yayo stopped by VLADTV for an interview on Thursday, and DJ Vlad asked him about who would win in a Verzuz between Yayo and Memphis Bleek because of their similar roles in iconic NYC rap crews \u2014 but the 47-year-old shut him down quickly.<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThis is really \u2018get the f\u2014 out of here Vlad\u2019 sh\u2013,\u201d he said. \u201cI know a lot of n\u2014as look at Yayo as the underdog, but when you hear me on freestyles and mixtapes, I went to jail for like a year-and-a-half when sh\u2013 started to pop. So you know the politics of the game. We\u2019re the most hated.\u201d<\/p>\n Yayo continued: \u201cN\u2014as know I show up and show out on them Verzuz. But come on, bro, you can\u2019t be serious. No way. A record like \u2018So Seductive\u2019 and \u2018I Don\u2019t Love Hoes\u2019 are still playing.\u201d<\/p>\n Essentially, Yayo went on to say it\u2019s levels to this, as someone who continuously tours around the globe with a catalog that dates back over two decades.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m going on my own tours\u2026 Name anywhere in Canada, every club was filled out. Selling merch on my own because of the G-Unit brand,\u201d he said. \u201cI done been in Nelson Mandela\u2019s cell, what do I have to prove to n\u2014as?\u201d<\/p>\n Tony Yayo\u2019s Thoughts of a Predicate Felon solo debut arrived in 2005 and reached No. 2 on the Billboard 200.<\/a> The project\u2019s lead single, \u201cSo Seductive,\u201d featuring 50 Cent<\/a>, cracked the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> top 50 (No. 48). G-Unit albums like Beg for Mercy and Terminate on Sight both debuted in the Billboard 200<\/a> top five.<\/p>\n Watch a portion of Tony Yayo\u2019s hilarious interview with DJ Vlad below.<\/p>\n Best of Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for Billboard’s Newsletter<\/a>.
