Tony Yayo & Dj Premier Talk Beef With Young Buck, Canibus & Game
Premo and Yayo sit down with ThisIs50 Radio to talk about their respective beefs with Young Buck, Game and Canibus
Yayo first addressed G-Unit producer Sha Money XL’s desire to work with former member Game.
“I heard Sha Money XL say he’ll work with Game, After all the money the nigga’s done fucked up, you’re going to work with this guy? But I’m a real nigga, see, my thing is loyalty and being honest and being real.”
My whole situation with Game and Buck…it’s more me being mad, like ‘Why fuck up the money?’ If we’re all in the business…why would y’all fuck up the money? It just don’t make sense.
Game, I talked to this nigga on the phone. His album dropped , like ‘Yo, congratulations’…we were like the motherfucking Beatles…Sha Money’s my nigga, but why even work with somebody that says, ‘Fuck G-Unit,’ after what we just built? Why build up a brand to destory it?”
Yayo also talked about his relationship with another former G-Unit member Young Buck.
“I never really had no problems with Buck,” “I really, really like Buck. I just don’t understand why he was flipping like that…Buck goes H.A.M. He was hanging around Big Meech, of the Black Mafia Family…he was going hard with his money.
Buck is the type of nigga to shoot his music videos and he’s got the Bentley on the truck, the 64 Impala, he’s getting that shit from Tennessee. He’s going to the mall, spending like $10-20 grand. His spending was off the hook.”
Premo also discussed his past issue with Canibus in full.
He wanted to do a song that he called ‘Nigganometry, and he said that he wanted it to have a mean bass line, just raw,”.
“I did that, which happen to turn out to be…D’Angelo’s ‘Devil’s Pie’…I brought it to the lab. He said ‘I don’t think that you really understand where I’m coming from with what I’m trying to bring out,’ and he kind of said it in a sonning me type of way.
Because he was a youngster and I respect my elders…and I know my stripes have been earned, I was a little bothered by it. Obviously, I got over it, because we did a song two years ago called ‘Golden Terra of Rap.’

Video: DJ Premier x Pete Rock x Damon Dash
DJ Premier & Pete Rock stop by DD172 for a photoshoot and kick it with Dame. Curren$y then pleads with Premier for them to smoke together (lol), and Premo reminisces on catching Big rolling a joint at Baseline and Dame admits “Big Pimpin” was when he started smoking.
Dame also discusses hip hop right now (well, this was back in March) with Corey Smith from Blacksmith and gives the example of Curren$y, Wiz and tabi all working with each other, whereas that wasn’t the case back in the days:
“Even with us, like back in the day, the values like… Honestly Roc-A-Fella would be in the elevator with Wu-Tang and say what’s up and not say another word to each other”
