Tony Yayo Says New York Is Worse Than Chicago

Tony Yayo Says New York Has Bad Luck With Rappers

Tony Yayo opened up about the state of New York raps…including Drill music…during his recent Drink Champs interview.

“Pop Smoke…like, I wish he would have stayed in the hotel over the AirBnB,” he began.

“Rest in peace. But, that kinda f-cked New York up. New York was coming back, bro. We had Pop Smoke, we had all these drill n-ggas startin’…A Boogie. But Pop was…you know,” he said.

Pop Smoke, whose legal name was Bashar Barakah Jackson, was killed on February 19 at a home in the Hollywood Hills.

Yayo is not a fan of the new drill wave. He believes it is too violent.

“Now, New York is worse than Chicago. And California, with the drill, because n-ggas is throwing like n-ggas dead friends in there. When we had battle raps with Ja Rule and them, n-ggas was still alive. […] But there’s no remorse with the drill music. N-ggas shooting little kids,” he explained.

Throughout the interview, Tony Yayo also frequently talked about rappers who are facing RICO charges.
