Video: Tony Yayo Talks Swine Flu 2

Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

“We just making movies now,” Yayo said. “Shout-out to the whole ThisIs50.com … Lloyd [Banks] … We living the life. This is the sh– Rick Ross rhymes about. We overlooking the city. The Unit is bringing the energy back through the Internet. It’s to the point now where you don’t have to pay nobody to get on — you could just put it on the Internet and become a star.”

Like 50 Cent, Yayo just put out a mixtape — Swine Flu 2: The Pandemic.

“It’s called The Pandemic because that’s before an epidemic comes,” he explained. “The [actual] swine flu has actually turned into an epidemic, so now it’s getting crazy. I got Hell Rell on there — you definitely should check out this record. I redid the Drake [song] over — instead of ‘Successful,’ I did ‘What you think I wear a vest for?’ I went over the ‘Daytona 500′ beat with ‘Goin In.’ Shout-out to Wu-Tang. … I’m just working.”

Reverse that:

Pandemic: When an epidemic spreads throughout the world.

Diz Gibran – Run Around

Here’s part 1 of the last night of BMUSE’s “6 Shows in 7 Days” series.

With at least 10 performers hitting the stage and more than 20 videos from this night alone, I knew there would be no way I could give these guys their proper shine in just one post. I have decided to break it down a bit and give you the best from everybody that performed.

My last night in LA before a very early 6 am Monday flight took me to Mountain Bar in Chinatown, where many of my friends and some of the best up and comers in Hip hop today would be performing in a funky old spot in front of a young crowed of LA hip hopers. In this first segment, H.O.P.E and Diz Gibran get things started off right getting to work right away on the small stage.

Hit the jump for the rest of Gibran’s set plus two H.O.P.E. cuts.
