In this clip, Tony Yayo gave his take on DJ Akademiks calling hip-hop pioneers “dusty” for not having money the way artists today enjoy. However, Yayo pushed back on the idea that everything, including legacy, has to be determined by the amount of money something or someone brings in. He said while he understands Akademiks is coming from the perspective of someone much younger, he still thinks he’s wrong for disrespecting the legends.
Later, DJ Vlad shared his thoughts on the comments made by DJ Akademiks about hip-hop pioneers. He explained to Tony Yayo why he disagreed before revisiting the story about How Kid Creole ended up with a life sentence in prison for murder. This prompted an interesting idea about setting up some type of a "pitch-in" service to help provide the first generation of rappers with a pension, health insurance, and/or financial stability. To that, Tony Yayo agrees and responds with a question for DJ Vlad: Who would be in charge of disbursing the money? Later in the conversation, Tony Yayo shares the type of philanthropist that he's been doing to give back.
