While driving around in his $200,000 bulletproof truck, Tony Yayo stresses the importance of having the vehicle, and how he wishes Tupac and Biggie’s management had the G-Unit mind state. The quote (below) is from “A Day In The Life Of Tony Yayo Pt 2″ courtesy of HipHopStan:
“And a nigga be like, ‘why he got that for?’ Naw, that’s the first thing you supposed to buy when you got a little money, right? Look, if you know you relevant, and you know you making money now, you blew up, right? Look at Tupac and Biggie. I wish them niggas had this shit over me. Fuck me having it, let Tupac and Biggie have one. Just think about if management was thinking like that…[if] Biggie was supposed to be in a bulletproof vehicle [worth] $200,000 — you know how much more millions he would have generated? So [buying everybody in G-Unit bulletproof trucks] was the smartest thing 50 ever did.”
Founder and Executive Editor of Hiptics. I launched Hiptics in 2008. I spent the last 4 years at Denison University where I hosted a weekly hip-hop radio show on 91.1 WDUB (one of America's Top 20 Most Popular College Radio Stations). I also served as Public Relations Chairman, Program Director, and Webmaster of the station. I genuinely love hip-hop, and have been involved in nearly every aspect of the culture starting with selling my own music in Middle School (haha, true story). I won the Culture Jam Freestyle Battle at Denison both times I participated. I brought Wiz Khalifa, EbGb, and D.Julien to campus for a free Hiptics show in January 2010. I've interviewed everyone from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony to the CEO of Death Row Records. I've DJ'd for Wiz Khalifa and Sam Adams, as well as at countless parties and campus events. There's a lot more to be said, but I don't want to be THAT guy. My point is this: I'm not just another one of these hip-hop bloggers. If the Internet didn't exist, I'd still be in the game.
