On Monday (April 15), the New York City MC unveiled his upcoming Roc Solid podcast and teased some interviews. The show is part of the Drink Champs network.

While a date for the first episode has not been revealed yet, the trailer shows snippets of Young Guru, Young Chris, Freeway, N.O.R.E and Ja Rule engaged in discussions that are bound to go viral, such as whether Dame Dash should appear on the show and if there will be a Roc-A-Fella reunion.

Earlier this year, Tony Yayo teased a podcast of his own during an interview with VladTV.
“Even you, Vlad, I soak up game from you,” he told the host. “I’m learning a lot of stuff about this podcast stuff. I’m soaking up game with you because I’m telling you I’ma have one of the biggest podcasts. I’ma be up there with the greats. That’s my next thing because I love talking.”

It remains unclear when Yayo’s vision will come to fruition, though the G-Unit MC has already built a reputation for being a great guest and storyteller as a number of his interviews have gone viral recently.
Most notably, his five-hour appearance on Drink Champs last year has already generated 2.5 million views. One of the most memorable moments from the chat was when he told to N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN about the moment he knew Eminem was a “real n-gga.”

The incident in question took place in the early 2000s at 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” video shoot in Los Angeles, during which he claimed the Detroit rapper stood up to Suge Knight, who had pulled up to the set with an army of gangsters.
“Cameras are falling, dancers are running, everybody’s running,” Yayo recalled. “This is why I always respected Eminem, 50 and n-ggas that was with us. Suge came, he had some Mexican n-ggas. Now, we from New York; you ain’t never seen a n-gga with a tattoo on his forehead.
“We like, ‘Damn, what we got to lose? If we don’t pop now, we going back to the hood!’ So it’s like, fight these Mexican Blood n-ggas, killer n-ggas, or go back home to the crib. Might as well go all out and fight right here! We around Dr. Dre so it’s like, ‘Yo, we gotta do what we gotta do.'”
He continued: “[Suge] lights his cigar and he trying to see what you gon’ do … This is when I knew Eminem was real. He was like, ‘I don’t give a fuck, man!’ That’s when I knew, ‘Damn, Eminem is a real n-gga.’ 50 n-ggas outside. ‘What’s up?!’ And then the n-gga Suge just walked away. The Mexican n-ggas looked kinda confused, they didn’t know what was going on.

“Eminem came outside, 100 percent. Eminem was like, ‘I don’t give a fuck, man!’ Remember, it’s documented, Proof told Suge: ‘Yo, you killed 2Pac!’ in the middle of a party. Them Detroit n-ggas are kinda crazy, bruh! Them 7, 8 Mile n-ggas always been crazy … You could ask anybody, Proof was a wild boy. Rest in peace to Proof.”
