On the way to his moms funeral by his cousin

[Larry2times]

For all the shiestyness and embarrassing behaviour(he made the mind squad quit! he called eminem racist! he sent dickpix to chickenheads!), hes definitely got a heap of good songs. eh maybe it is just networking and throwing good drug money after bad but whatever, hes got a better voice than Lakey The Kid.

he made Tommys Theme....Tommys Theme

[Larry2times]

I mean what real difference is there between him, Baby, Eazy-E & Master P other than lack of chart success and being a sucker for love on telly

[seagrams hotsauce]

His tenure at the source had a great number of awesome/memorable moments. Hope he pulls through.

[ardamus]

shouldve known you wouldve started this thread, blast.
anyways, fuckin' sucks he'd get shot at during a funeral by his own family.

lol that time he clearly scammed his way onto this gangsta rap roundtable with Scarface, Eiht, J Prince etc was priceless. theyd all be dropping jewels about the industry and censorship and then occasionally hed chime in with some inane bullshit, you could feel the "wtf is a Benzino" tension in the room

[Philaflava]

his nephew shoots like a stormtrooper.


when nick cannon becomes 50 he will look like benzino.

[Kace]

Bullets can't hurt him though. He got special powers.

[sean]

i can't imagine what it would be like to get shot on the same day that you're burying one of your parents.

thankfully we have instagram to help publicly document moments like these.

I hope so. It would be awesome if he could get Twice Thou to stop rapping about bank forclosures and get back in some shit together on some life is short shit.

REAL TALK: Benzino isn't nearly as bad as he used to be to hip hop culture.

dude has kinda atoned and apologized for like every fucked up thing he did in the Source era... the damage was done, but it's healed by now

he even admitted his fuckory to Eminem

but this? the untouchable made man benzino getting shot up at a funeral?

BLACK IS OUTTA CONTROL

Throughout his career Eminem has been perhaps the most feared MC on the mic, but that didn't stop Benzino from going toe-to-toe with Slim Shady in a feud that got very personal. In 2002, Benzino labeled Em "the rap Hilter" on his dis track "Die Another Day," but if the rapper/magazine publisher had his way, he would've done things differently.

"I can say it now, I was wrong for it. Because at the end of the day, Em is a great lyricist and he should be able to express himself in hip-hop as anybody should," Benzino said on Wednesday when he appeared on "RapFix Live."

Benzino Was 'Wrong' For Beefing With Eminem
ZNO, who once ran The Source magazine with his business partner, Dave Mays, launched an all-out attack on Slim Shady. Em himself fired back with multiple well-orchestrated dis tracks like "The Sauce" and "Nail in the Coffin." Benzino says he's a different man. "You really can't accomplish nothing, as far as nowadays times, with drama," he said. "All drama does is just slow you down, it just hampers things. I don't have no beef with nobody... The situation with me and Eminem, if I could've done it over, I would've."

The Boston MC, who now stars in VH1's hit reality show "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta," believes that it was in upbringing in the rough and tumble Beantown which caused him to lash out at Em. Race definitely played an issue, but now Benzino credits the Detroit mega star with bringing different cultures together.

"Em's still doing his thing and he's still a great influence on hip-hop," he said. "Hip-hop has bridged the cultures, white, black, Latino, Asian, it's for everybody."

"I probably was an angry person back then," he continued to explain. "If I offended anybody with that, I apologize to hip-hop for that."

There was a time when Benzino was damn near the worst guy rapping and trying to do things in hip hop culture.

Holy fuck do I ever miss those good old days.

Ray Ray is okay in my books now.

Modern rap? Out of control.

[step one]

does that mean you'll have a similar change of heart re Game & Rick Ross in 10 years time?

[GUCCI CONDOMS]

Conveniently Bender finds time to post on as soon as an incident that fits into his "rap is outta control" rhetoric occurs...

[Mindbender Futurama]

does that mean you'll have a similar change of heart re Game & Rick Ross in 10 years time?

Game and Rick Ross have always been FAKE GANGSTER RAPPERS. I will not change my opinion on them unless Game stops being an ignorant bi-polar shit-starting Benedict Arnold, and has a change of heart (see what I did there ) and Rick Ross does shit like admit he is a studio gangster for the most part and was actually a fucking Corrections Officer back in the days, not a Miami drug kingpin.

Benzino's problem was mainly that he was wack. He was NOT fake. He was actually one of the first real gangsta rappers in rap. To a lesser degree, Benzino and the Made Men were the East Coast version of Suge Knight and Death Row, as Benzino clearly strong-armed all his Source Magazine privlege, which was worth MILLIONS, and he was involved in a lot of ugly, real violence in Boston in the early 90's.

Benzino was always just an inferior rapper with an opinion that was ridiculously subjective and twisted. He wasn't a fake MC.

I don't like Benzino, but I damn sure respect him. I don't even respect Rick Ross or The Game. I respect William Roberts and Jayceon Taylor... but their rap personas? FUCK THEM FOOLS

[blastmaster]

This myth that Benzino was anything less than dope on the mic is infuriating.
