When it comes to hypemen, Tony Yayo calls himself an "Energy God." After an encounter with iconic hypeman Flavor Flav, he shared the advice given to him, and spoke on more regarding the 50 Cent/Kanye West feud.
"Both energies together," Tony Yayo told MTV. "It was a while back when we was beefing with Fat Joe, and he said I was the '2008 version of Flavor Flav.' I took it good. Me and Flav kicked it backstage, and the two things he said to me: 'Stay alive and stay out of jail.' "
This weekend, The Unit welcomed Flav as their special guest at a show in New York. Tony added that he has respect and admiration for what Flav has done.
"The energy onstage when I said 'Flaaaaavor Flaaaaaaaaav!' — the crowd went crazy. Me and him got the same kinda energy. I look up to a lot of the old-school rappers: Flavor, Chuck D, Whodini. I seen that rap from the '80s to '90s to now. Flavor Flav, for you to get out of jail and be in one of the biggest rap groups in the country, come off Rikers Island, create your own hustle, create your own show, then have the number-one show in the country. When I came out, I was on easy street. 50 took care of me."
