Tony Yayo Talks 50 Cent Out-Rhyming Busta Rhymes, Rakim

    Tony Yayo has been along for 50 Cent’s meteoric rise to fame since the beginning, so it’s natural that he’s picked up some stories along the way.

    In a recent interview with Hip Hop Nation, Yayo recalled one of his favorite memories alongside Fif. “It was one day we were in the studio and I’ll never forget this,” he explained. “It was [around the time of] Get Rich or Die Tryin’ and Dr. Dre was in the studio. Like I was saying, it was me and my man Weezy and 50, he did [‘Heat’], he did ‘P.I.M.P.’, he did like three songs in one day. And Kanye West was in the studio, I remember that. He was trying to like sing in Sha Money [XL]’s ear. It was just a crazy day that day.”

    Yayo revealed that two of New York’s most revered emcees weren’t able to attack the beat from “Heat” like 50 did. “Busta [Rhymes] was in the studio, Dre and I remember nobody could mess with this beat. This beat had gun sounds and cocking in [that] Dre made. I remember Busta tried, Rakim [tried] and 50 got on and just killed it. It was one of my favorite experiences in the studio.”

    1. whoever made this article is an instigator and is distorting what was said and deliberately taking it out of context. There was no comparison drawn in yayo’s statements, he didn’t create any feeling of a competitive environment between rakim, busta and 50. This article reads like it came from a gossip site.

      I dont know what has been going on with DX this year, but in journalisticly you guys have not been on the ball at all. Poorly written articles, and over-blown articles like this one have swarmed your site all year. Are you guys under new management or something? Maybe you need some new writers.. whatver it is you seriously need to step it up.

      1. that’s what happens when you steal articles from other sites without doing any real research about its content.

      2. ^ All true! Lots of people confirm HHDX taking articles and changing the context in them. I seen it quite a few times and it’s a straight up gimmick. C’mon y’all don’t turn into the Soulja Boy of this Hip Hop news shit, despite y’all ride him like a rodeo show.

    2. I definitely see the instigation in this article. Yayo is talking about ONE MOMENT IN STUDIO with all three rappers. No way in fucking hell is 50 better than Busta Rhymes and Rakim, clear as day to people that actually know their shit.

    3. 50 does bring some hard rhymes… The only problem is he won’t put his hard sh!t on his albums.. His past 2 albums have been a little disapointing… But then I listen to return of the body snatchers, you should be dead by now, this is 50 mixtape, and Officer Ricky go ahead try me and He is rapping as good or maybe better than the other hip hop heavy weights in the game today… It doesn’t make sense to me why his mixtapes material is better than his official material… Anyways when I think about how good he was on get rich or die tryin it makes me wish he would make a really good album..

    4. 50 Cent outrhyming Rakim? Is Yayo out of his mind, he should really get off his nutsack before he ends up like Young Buck, HipHopDx are retards for even releasing this story, such a fucking insult to hip hop

      1. WHEN DOES HE SAY 50 OUTRHYMED RAKIM?

        50 DID BETTER WITH THE BEAT THEN ANOTHER RAPPER… LIKE IT HASNT HAPPENED BEFORE

        HATERS LOVE TO HATE, LEARN TO READ FAGGOT

    5. I KNOW ITS AGAINST THE RULES BUT NOONE ANYWAYS STICKS TO ANY RULES THESE DAYS THATS WHY I SAY SORRY BUT FUGG IT LOL. YALL CHECKKS OUT MY FAV RAPPER JET2

    6. Check it out. I believe Yayo on this one. I know and have seen cats who may not be considered super lyrical but they will serve u on a track! Its all about connecting with the beat. Rakim dont really rock club tracks like that and his new stuff aint even poppin like it once was. Now Busta, IDK Busta murk tracks! So Yayo coulda stretched the truth a lil, but lets be real. When u hungry, as was 50 on Get Rich or Die Tryin, he was convincing enough to win the people over. And he did. Check the soundscan. He damn near went diamond off that album. Word

    7. tony yayo dick sucker motherfucker fuck u with that shit 50 cent rap u kno this ,bitch.yayo shame on u for saying this u make haitian look stupid for saying that .pitin

    8. That’s why this dude is a sidekick.

      Riding 50 everywhere. I have never seen a grown man on another man’s dick so much. Be your own man Yayo, I know he yo man but have a pair of your own.

      Sounds like 50 was in a zone. Its hard to touch anybody when they in the zone plus he was hungry. Truthfully, “Heat” sounds like some old Busta beat (off When diaster strikes or ELE), so of course Busta could’nt really mess with it cause he was past that style, he wanted something new from Dre. 50 was just happy to get on any Dre Beat.

      Rakim set the standard in the late 80’s early 90’s, but since that time he has not been that good. Ra will always be one of my all time favorites, but sorry his time has passed. So 50 sounding better on a Dre track than Rakim make sense. People act like when big names get together their is always going to be magic. Dre and Ra was not a good fit, Eric B has and will always be the best thing for Rakim.

      So just becasue Yayo saying who 50 was better than on that day means nothing, nigga that’s one day. 50 had one classic album and Busta and Ra have at least 6 combined. 50 had help to get as big as he is, he stole Ja Rule’s style and crushed his career, plus Hip Hop was dead in the 2000’s so people were looking for something new and it made him seem bigger than he was.

      Stop getting things twisted know your history and pay your respect to your forefathers.

      1. Busta Classics- A Future Without a Past
        The Coming
        When Disaster Strikes
        E.L.E. could be considered
        Rakim Classics- all 4 of his albums with eric B. 18th lettter can be considered a classics
        thats 9 classics between the 2. i could care less what 50 did on 1 beat…he is an 8th of important as those 2…and has 1/50th the skill of them.

    9. Them new 2012 Benz’s are comin’ out ain’t they? That nigga gettin’ ready, makin’ money the only way he knows how..Kissin’ 50’s ass..You think Yayo comes running out of 50’s mansion like those white bitches in the Lexus commercials? Big red bow on his shit?

      1. wow…this guy is a hard ass…its funny..when someone tries to throw an ice stare then you confront them…always a fuckin pussy…this spic is no different

    10. So your trying to say 50 would have killed busta on VICTORY, there different artist…. that doesnt mean they better lyrically 50 couldnt do gimme some more …. busta couldnt do many men…. thats why its called hip hop cause everyone has got their own style!!!!!

    11. did this dude really just say 50 out rhymed rakim??? gtfo with that shit…rakim would destroy 50 and stupid ass dick ridin tony yayo, this dude cant even put 16 bars together to make a hot verse cause he cant rap worth shit

    12. Of course the #1 weed carrier in hip hop is gonna say that his weed owner is better than Rakim. He’s gonna say 50 is better than everybody if he wants to continue to have food on the table and clothes on his back. Nobody should take offense to this.

      1. Rakim a racist? RFLMAO!!! And you’re probably a racist in disguise just for mentioning such a fucked up a thing in the first place…Enjoy your three way or should I say your ménage à trois with Gayo and Bitchy Cent…

    13. yo…no hate…but diz niggas a dick rider like a motherfucker…lol…only 50 can kill that, was one of the most favorite experiences in the studio…STFU…hype man..i never heard anyone else love 50 more than him..you respected when a nigga dont like you, but respect your music…they can hate the nigga but not the rapper…datz when niggaz deserve glory, but this nigga is more irrelevant then Ashanti who still get pictures taken, and interviews and she dont shit right now…

      1. Only 50 could kill that? RFLMAOOO!!! I swear sometimes I wish Yayo would just let 50 play the Dick Dastardly role and Yayo just play the Muttley role and just shut the fuck up like Banks does and not say a fuckin’ word for goodness sakes…And he has the nerve to say that 50 was the only one that could kill that ‘Heat’ beat right? Well I wonder why Dre never let Em take a crack at it because we all know that Eminem would’ve murdered that shit and would’ve made 50 look real foolish after he was finished with it…Funny how Yayo is too bitch enough to say that Eminem would’ve killed that beat because we all know he would have…Yayo is even dumber than I thought for him to make such a statement that 50 was the only who could’ve killed it…Get the fuck outta here…

    14. everybody is taking out of contexts. All he is trying to say is that 50 was able to rhyme on a beat that Rakim or Busta couldn’t spit on. He is not trying to say that 50 is better than them, just saying that when he saw 50 do that, it was an cool experience. Of course Yayo is going to say good stuff about 50. they have been friends for a long ass time. Wouldn’t you say good stuff about your best friends?

    15. Nuttin surprisin 50’s personal dick sucker Yayo sayin this. this nigga just keep shinin 50s knob cuz he aint shit without 50. shittiest rapper out there.

      Bawse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    16. I dont believe outrhymin busta, but rakim i can see… i mean hes a legend but that doesnt mean he cant be outrhymed… 50 and rakim luck tech n9ne wasnt on that beat or he’d blow them all awayyyyyyyy

    17. Hating ass nerds que up to a 50 cent article…

      All the nigga did was recall a moment in his life but haters wanna take it outa context like he saying 50 greater than both of them, please. Stop the unnecessary hating.

    18. yayo didnt say 50 outrhymed either rakim or busta….. the article TITLE said 50 cent did. all yayo said was that he attacked the song better and it sounded better wit fif on it….calm urselves and get rich or die trying was the shit when it came out btw

    19. What a shameless way generate page hits, he never said he outrhymed Ra or Busta, in fact in the headline ya’ll made sound like Yayo said he is nicer than them all around now that would be the joke of the year. Every rapper gets in and out of the zone some more often than others.
