Tony Yayo Hopes Eminem Will Join G-Unit's U.S. Tour

'It would be an honor if Em came out,' he(Tony Yayo) tells Mixtape Daily.
In a couple of weeks, the G-Unit will be heading overseas for an international tour. Come June, the 50 Cent-captained team is scheduled to do something they haven't done in quite some time: tour the United States. Although no dates or other acts have been announced for the bill, Tony Yayo is hoping at least Slim Shady will be on the road with them.
"I'm not sure if Eminem is gonna be a part of the bill," Yayo said recently in New York. "I know 50 wants to go out and do the U.S. tour. It would be an honor if Em came out. Shout to Em, the whole D12, everybody out there.
"My best experience was [the] Anger Management [3 tour] with 50 and Eminem," Yayo added. "They was killing each other on the tour, it was crazy. That was an ill tour. Em comes out, Fif comes out, D12, Proof was still alive — rest in peace to Proof. That's one of the best hype men ever."
While Yayo was fantasizing out loud, he threw another name in the mix. "You know what? I would love to see Eminem, Dre and 50 do a big tour, so I could make millions of dollars," he said. "I'll be a stagehand and work in the back. I wouldn't even care. I know I'll make a million dollars lifting stuff. It's an honor to be in their presence."
Obviously, it would be a huge undertaking to get all these guys on the road together, but Yayo and the fans can dream, can't they?
"With guys like Em and Dre and Fif, these guys got busy schedules," the Queens native said. "Em is working on another album. Fif got about 15 movies; he's working on another movie right now called 'The Gun.' Dre — come on, man, you see them Dr. Dre headphones selling like hot cakes everywhere you go. Those guys are busy guys. I feel blessed I could say that I know Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent. A lot of artists beg to do a song with Eminem, beg to do a song with 50 Cent, beg to do a song with Dre — I've experienced all those worlds."
Yayo said that his new album might be called Godfather of the Ghetto, and like Lloyd Banks' next album, he wants to put it out this summer while the Unit are on tour. As for when 50 might release another LP, Tony said Fif isn't focused on that right now.
"50 is like a chameleon," Yayo said. "What I seen from Fif, he's in Will Smith mode; he's shooting movie after movie. I know he's definitely supporting me and Banks' albums."

The Alchemist Confirms Eminem Linked Up With Producers DJ Khalil & Just Blaze For 'Relapse 2' . Says The Album Is Better Than 1st 'Relapse'

Off the heels of his Grammy performance of “Forever” with Eminem, Lil Wayne, Drake and Travis Barker, XXLMag had the chance to chop it up with The Alchemist about Em’s highly anticipated new disc, Relapse 2.While the disc does not have a release date as of press time, ALC says Em is hard at work in the studio with DJ Khalil. The West Coast beatsmith has had a big year, producing standout joints for Drake (“Fear”), Clipse (“Kinda Like a Big Deal”) and Slaughterhouse (“Cuckoo”).“Khalil—who I think is like the best producer right now to me—he had been sending records to Em for a while that wasn’t like, they weren’t like clicking in,” Alchemist told XXL. “Em knew he was dope but they haven’t found the right one. And I think they found a couple joints now… the joints they have are crazy. I can’t say 100 percent [that he made the album], but I have heard at least two joints Khalil did and they’re fuckin’ stupid.”Al, who serves as the Detroit lyricist’s tour DJ, revealed that he has yet to score a beat on Em’s project. “I’m starting to be around Em and the camp more,” he said, “especially finishing these albums. Factor in Em’s sober now, it’s like that’s my man, we chop it up a lot more now…it’s like little by little I’m figuring out what I have to do to create a sound that would be Alchemist/Eminem. I didn’t get it yet.”One person that Em has been working a lot with is Just Blaze. Al gave XXL insight into their chemistry: “He clicked with Em,” he said. “It was really amazing, too. They really vibed and made some music, beyond like Just just sending him beats, it was nothing like that…I think it’s a perfect meshing of the two…If you could imagine what they could bring to the table at this point, it’s pretty close and maybe a little more.”In fact, in ALC’s opinion, the whole album is a level above the first Relapse. “He’s doing things lyrically on this album that he hasn’t done before,” he shared. “The punchline game is really back.”

DX News Bits: Raekwon, Alchemist On Relapse 2

Alchemist
Producer/rapper Alchemist says Eminem has been working with fellow West Coast producer DJ Khalil on Relapse 2.Khalil has made a name for himself in the last few years, gaining production placements on albums from Jay-Z, Game, Clipse, and 50 Cent. However, this is the first time he has worked with the Detroit emcee. “Khalil—who I think is like the best producer right now to me—he had been sending records to Em for a while that wasn’t like, they weren’t like clicking in. Em knew he was dope but they hadn’t [sic] found the right one,” Alchemist told XXLMag.com.
Over time though, Alchemist said the two artists started to see eye to eye on their work. “I think they found a couple joints now…the joints they have are crazy. I can’t say 100 percent [that he made the album], but I have heard at least two joints Khalil did and they’re fuckin’ stupid.”Along with DJ Khalil’s possible inclusion, Relapse 2 is expected to feature production from Dr. Dre, Just Blaze, and Denaun Porter.
