In a candid interview, Tony Yayo weighed in on Dr. Dre’s bold statement about Eminem being the greatest rapper of all time, sharing his personal admiration for Slim Shady and the impact they’ve had together in the hip hop world.

DJ Vlad keeps releasing an interview with G-Unit member Tony Yayo in small packages. This time, it was a segment in which Yayo expressed his admiration for Eminem, declaring him one of the greatest rappers of all time. His opinion is based on Eminem’s influence, talent, and undeniable impact on the hip hop world. Making it clear that he values both Eminem’s lyrical abilities and his record-breaking achievements, Tony Yayo passionately declared:

Eminem is in my top 5. I don’t give a fuck what anybody says. I love lyrics, and he has lyrics. And I like numbers too. Numbers don’t lie. They say, “I don’t listen to Eminem in the car”. Well, somebody does! He’s one of the GOATs.

Yayo also echoed Dr. Dre’s sentiment that Eminem is the best MC ever. He highlighted the impact of Eminem and G-Unit as a rap label, emphasising their dominance in the hip hop world:

I agree with Dr. Dre saying Eminem is the best MC ever. Let’s go back to what Eminem and G-Unit did as a rap label. We had a dream team. In the hip hop world, he’s the biggest artist worldwide.

Yes, Tony Yayo always pays respect to Eminem, and these new comments just re-enforce his previous statements. However, Yayo is not only loyal; he knows hip hop, and he recognises a talent and a grind when he sees it. His comments highlight Eminem’s massive influence not only as a solo artist but also in shaping the careers of others within the rap industry.
