The G-Unit legend spend over five hours on the Drink Champs, telling fascinating stories with heartwarming sincerity.
Even the tale about Eminem wearing FREE YAYO t-shirt to the Grammy Awards ceremony, which we have heard from Tony many times, sounds engaging. Just because he is that good. So it’s not surprising that hosts asked him for more stories about Eminem. And Tony obliged. After a pause he stated:
The wildest shit I know about Eminem is that he knew the footsteps in “Many Men” came from Poltergeist.
Hosts were taken aback and tried to get more out of Tony but he moved on to giving Marshall flowers:
Eminem is the type of nigga who stays in the studio. Eminem is the type of nigga to have a diss record against you and you won’t even know it. And he’s a humble guy. Like I said, he’s just one of them niggas who really care about the music. Like Swiss or Pharrell, you know.
Charlemagne Tha God inquired about the unwavering loyalty Tony and 50 Cent always demonstrate when somebody tries to attack Eminem. Yayo rejects any racional connotations in their relationship and shows that their unity was forged in a beef fire and nurtured by Marshall’s consistent support:
Remember, we came in the game with beef. We came beefing with The Source magazine. Benzino. “FUCK EMINEM!!” We came in with mad beef, it was always drama. Benzino and Dave Mays, they made The Source magazine, it’s legendary. But we came into the game with beef with that. So niggas would say this about Eminem, that about Eminem, this motherfucker white boy, culture vulture. But he’s the nigga that put niggas on. You never forget the nigga who turned the lights on bro. No matter what color or what race he is. I love Eminem. Niggas be like, “Yo, we do not listen to Eminem in the strip club! We don’t listen to Eminem in the car!” But you go to Spotify and he’d still be the No.1 nigga twenty years in.
It is all true. But, what’s the deal with Poltergeist?!
