Yesterday, former Shady Records artist, Conway The Machine, has responded Benzino for mentioning him on his latest Eminem diss song, called “Rap Elvis.”
In the song, the former co-owner of The Source magazine raps: “Okay, you found 50, and you put on five Detroit ni–as / Rest in peace to the best one, the rest of them sound iffy / So let’s go down your stable (Okay) / Gunn left your label (Uh huh) / Benny left your label (That’s right) / Con’ (Conway) left your label (Ah) / Royce left your label, Joe Budden left your label (Damn), Ortiz left your label, know Crooked I couldn’t save you (Nah), Yelawolf been out here floppin’ and where the hell Ca$his at though? (Where he at?) / Heard from Obie Trice only twice and not a word from Stat Quo (Not a word) With all them false lines that you pitched them / Shady Records sound like less of a name and more like a description (Stop it).”
Conway responded Benzino on Instagram by posting pictures with Eminem. In the caption, the Buffalo rapper wrote: “Peace! I just wanted to speak on a few things. I heard the Benzino joint and I just need to clear this up for everybody. 1) I didn’t LEAVE shady records. Also I never wanted to leave the label. My contracts were simply fulfilled. 2) And most importantly, I F–K WITH EMINEM, ROSENBERG, SHADY RECORDS, 50 CENT and I could never feel any ill feelings towards Em and them ni–as. They gave some 35 year old street ni–as from Buffalo that’s been shot in the head and did jail sentences a chance and a opportunity to make it out the hood and take care of my family. So I’m forever thankful for that. So with that being said, if you’re having feelings or whatever towards bruh, leave me out of it please, cause I’m always gonna ride with big bro.”
Under the post, Busta Rhymes replied with “Crown” emojis. Kid Vishis also wrote: “Benzino just not meant to win.” Marv Won, Marv Won, who was also namedropped in the diss and has recently supported Eminem, replied with “Folded Hands” emojis.
Benzino also responded to Conway: “Nothing but love bro. Gotta respect loyalty. I bang your s–t constantly. It’s a battle bro but he shot first. And the Coi line was unnecessary. So I’m gonna finish him. It’s great for hip-hop.”

Detroit hip-hop artist and battle rapper Quest Mcody has recently sat down with P to Da 3rd Letter on Rap Grid where the two talked about Eminem and Benzino’s reignited beef, why Eminem slander is still cool thing to do and how Big Proof influenced the entire Detroit rap scene.
“Everybody know where it stem from. Benzino has been poking. He say stuff about Eminem in the interviews all the time, in a lot of interviews. Em don’t do a lot of interviews. He rap. So sometimes when he rap he say something and he felt like saying something this time and the rest is the rest. It pushed Benzino.” said Quest Mcody.
Then he continued: “I like Eminem as a rapper. I think Eminem is a good rapper so if we just talk about raps, Benzino is just not that good of a rapper. It’s not a rap beef. I think the raps were dope but Benzino is not a good rapper, we know that and he knows that. He said it himself, he got help to put it together. So, I just think it’s silly to compare he two. I’m not about to break down and compare a ghostwritten diss-track to somebody that was making fun of you with their own raps. It’s okay to have ghostwritten work. It’s something that has been around the raps but I don’t consider people that rap on Rapper’s Delight when I talk about people like Jay-Z or Eminem or Nas and that’s just how I go.”
“I don’t think Eminem is held in such a high regard in only Detroit cause if it was just Detroit, he wouldn’t be Eminem. Every year he’s top 10 streamed artist without putting out what would some consider a classic album in many many years. He got core fanbase, he got a fanbase. He said it on records why some of that is but also is to be recognized by everybody. Like Drake can’t be Drake without crossover fans. Hip-hop can’t survive if it’s just us because we are minority. So, if you are selling million of records in America, based on the numbers alone, you gotta be able to sell records to people that are outside of your demographic and if somebody comes along and they heighten the awareness of that demographic to the whole of hip-hop, that’s a benefit for hip-hop. Because now we got more fans.”
“The reason some people are still slandering Eminem is because it’s cool thing to do to discredit. It’s cool to have these outlandish takes. It’s very very common right now to ignore certain things because you don’t like something. I can’t say somebody’s whack because I don’t like it or because it ain’t my cup of tea. Like, there is no way you can tell me that Drake is not good based on the response ‘nah I might not like it’ but it’s hard for me to say like ‘yo, this is not good’ or he is not talented. Maybe I don’t think it’s good but I can’t think he’s not talented because you’ve shown this in different ways. I gotta be able to recognize the appeal outside my own. So, I just think it’s cool to just talk s–t.” Quest Mcody added.
Then he continued talking about the importance of Big Proof for Detroit and told few unheard stories about him: “Proof means a lot. Proof was somebody that invested in the community and got love from us. He was pivotal in everybody’s lives. It didn’t matter how frequent he was in your life, if you met P, he made an impact. There’s a lot of stuff people don’t know about Proof. He was the first person to have Unsigned Hype article, not Em. Proof won The Source’s Unsigned Hype rap battle. he beat Supernatural. Proof was known across the country for being phenomenal battle rapper even more so in some spaces than Eminem. A lot of our first experiences with industry came through Proof. Proof put my only solo song on the label project that he put out and I wasn’t on the label. We never did music but we had a lot of conversations. The first battle I won money being there Proof just left doing the show with 50 Cent that night and came and hosted the battle that I won $100 and he gave it to me out of his pocket. Backpack hip-hop, battle rap world, the street music that you hear, he was the bridge to that. It was always love. He gave a piece of family and belonging to a lot of people. He had a record label with a lot of dope artists from the battle rap scene in Detroit. He gave us the opportunity to get our fanbase.”

King Los has recently done an Instagram live interview with Threeletterman3 where the two talked about Eminem and Benzino beef. During the conversation, King Los, who is one of the most respected lyricist in the game, said that Benzino beat Eminem with a ‘mid diss record’ and defended him for using ghostwriter. Later in the interview, King Los also showed some love to Em.
“Nah, I didn’t write it cause if I would have wrote for Benzino that s–t would have been even more evil. That s–t would have been even crazier. I think, to be honest with you, just from knowing Zino, I think Zino wrote that s–t bro. I’ve been known Benzino for a minute. I think he wrote that s–t by himself cause Zino has always been a hip-hop ni–a. Zino has something to say for a long time.” said King Los.
Then he continued: “I think maybe at one point, Zino had to sit down with some people because when it gets technical, it turns into a war. It makes sense because you going against the giant like Eminem. Benzino fell upon some hard times. He went through some s–t. He’s not at the height of his height. He’s in the mud. So, he’s like ‘yo, I’m ready to slay the giant.’ It’s David and Goliath right now. He’s like ‘I gotta fight the hardest that I’ve ever fought right now.'”
“In battle rap and in hip-hop, 100% of everything that was determined or considered to be a victory was not always written solely by the proprietor or the person that delivered it. In the battle rap culture, you might have chicks, you might got ni–as and they might have sat down and had some bars and then they went over the homies and helped him framework and put it together. That happens in battle rap all the time. In hip-hop, on diss tracks, there’s been motherf–kers helping ni–as. Sometimes, ni–as make contributions bro to those big moments. Maybe 20% of the music industry writes their own s–t. I don’t think it demerits Benzino if he had help against Eminem. If you come out on top and you win, that’s all that matters in the end.”
“I know Benzino in person right? He ain’t cheat cause he ain’t called me. I’m probably the most lyrical ni–a that most people know so imagine Zino got some help and he ain’t called me! He could say ‘yo, Los! This ni–a Eminem just hit me with a motherf…’ Benzino can take a victory lap cause you know why? because the culture has already determined that what he presented was better than what Em presented. It does not matter if he had a help because the weight class is not even. The only reason we marveling in it because it’s David and Goliath. Keep it real. Ni–a, Eminem is…Bro! Who ever survives Eminem?! The reason why Zino could take a victory lap is because he really beat Em with some mid s–t. Let’s keep it real. If he’d came out with some technical rap we’d be like ‘nah, ni–a, nah, stop.’ He beat him with something that was in his pocket. It was such a basic hip-hop. Punchline setup. It was very basic but Benzino beat Eminem with the cultural aspects of what he was saying. He didn’t beat him with technical ability. Benzino said things that mattered more. I think Benzino went personal and Eminem kind of went technical. That giraffe line was horrible.”
“[Is Eminem battle tested?] Hell yeah. First and foremost, because him getting his pen to a level where ni–as were feared of him. Eminem was feared! Like ni–as know, yo, you don’t wanna play with that white boy. He’s different. He was not born like that so how did he get to that? All them freestyles, joints he used to do and all that s–t. That built him. Eminem is battle tested because he’s a white boy who is simulated to a black dominated culture and genre and he got to the top of it. That’s the real battle! To become someone who is revered in hip-hop space for lyricism, you have to be battle tested because how the f–k did you get there. Eminem 1000% is battle tested bro. He’s one of them boys. He proved that bro. What I say about Em is, he survived Canibuses, his era was rap ni–as! He survived a lot of prominent hip-hop rap ni–as and his lyrics and everything was held on the pedestal and that makes him battle tested. AND, as a white boy, that makes him super battle tested and he rapped around Royce, Buddens and all them ni–as. When I talk to Royce, Royce be like ‘yo, you know how hard it was every day to come in the studio and tryna outrap Joell, f–king Crook?’ Now think about this white boy Eminem. Always staying in the prominent space at the top around all these giants. That alone gives you an accolade to be a battle tested.”
“Eminem was like bible at a certain point. When he dropped some s–t, I don’t care if it was a technical aspect or his subject matter or the shock value of what he would say out of his mouth but you gotta listen. When he sang that s–t ‘I’m sorry mama, I never meant to hurt you, never meant to make you cry but tonight I’m cleanin’ out my closet’ bro, that’s forever! When he talked about certain things like killing his mama and girlfriend, that more assimilates with Europeans. Us, we came in a struggle we would never even think about killing our moms or putting it in a songs. I don’t believe there is any limits in art so I respect his art because my favorite song is ‘Just The Two Of Us.’ In that song, he does…his baby mama but he did it in such a creative way that all I could understand was ‘oh man, he just going through with that girl’ and I felt him. So, what I’m saying is, when you have the ears of people you gotta say something that they feel. That’s all I’m saying.” King Los added.
Flavor Flav, a founding member of iconic hip-hop group Public Enemy alongside Chuck D, has recently talked about Eminem with DJ Whoo Kid on Shade 45 radio.
“Eminem is my favorite rapper. Word up. And not only that, he still shouts Flavor Flav out in his records. Yeah boy! You know what? Check this out. I don’t care how they trying to color my man it don’t stop him from being number one. That’s all I got to say. And being number one don’t have no color. Word up man. Yeah, Eminem man! he’s the best rapper alive right now man! Can’t nobody beat him out. When you can’t be beat, that means you are the best.” said Flavor Flav.
Then he continued: “Let me tell you something. Back in the day, when Eminem, Snoop, Dre, they had this group together and this is when the first time Eminem seen me and when he seen me, he went ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. I didn’t know who he was at that time. I gave him mad love man. He went crazy over me and I gave mad love. Lets say like this, because a lot of those guys [Redman, LL Cool , Nas] are like mentors to Em. But then Em is like a mentor to them too. It’s all a mutual respect thing. That’s one thing I could say about Eminem. He has mad, mad respect from all of the legends in the rap game but he’s a legend himself. For real.”
Whoo Kid also promised the hip-hop icon to send Eminem’s recent merch as a gift: “Hook me up with a Detroit Lions and Mom’s Spaghetti sweater and I’ll be wearing that s–t through every airport in the world man.” Flavor Flav added. You can watch the entire thing below:
Detroit’s own, Marv Won who is a member of underground hip hop group the Fat Killahz and rap duo Twin Towers, has recently sat down on Rap Grid where he talked about Eminem. Marv was one of many Detroit rappers who appeared as an extra in “8 Mile” movie. He rapped against Eminem in a battling scene. That scene was left out of the movie but was one of the main scenes when they sold the DVDs. It was a footage Eminem’s management sent to ‘Entertainment Tonight,’ ‘Extra’ and ‘Access Hollywood’ and other publications.
In his recent Eminem diss song, Benzino raps: “Last time you battled, s–t was like 22 years ago, vs Marv Won, What was the outcome of that match up? Marv won (I swear).” On that, Marv responded: “[What’s the first thing I thought?] Who the f–k wrote this. This man has no idea who I am. Who the f–k wrote that? Even if that man [Eminem] clearly lost a battle to me, he won it. He won the war. So it does not matter. It don’t f–king matter. And two, you’ll never get me in any kind of form going against my f–king friend. Whether it’s for your recognition or not. If that’s the case, I’ll scream from mountain-top I lost a battle, you’ll never be a person to say I won. That’s my legitimate friend. Don’t try to weaponize me against my friend.”
In a new interview, Marv Won first talked about Eminem’s contribution to Detroit street rappers: “When people my age or older form the city say ‘yo, Em didn’t do enough’ it definitely does not sit well with me because if you were a rapper at that time, you were in extra in that movie (8 Mile). You legitimately got a check from Eminem. No matter how big or how small, you got a check from him. And you got three square meals a day from that ni–a. That’s a lot. I was an extra. They knew everybody were rappers. They were trying to keep the morale up in the city. On the set, they wanted to do a contest. They just had rappers rap. That was really easy for me. I was amongst our peers. And just so happens by the grace of God, I was one of the people they pick. And I’m always grateful to Eminem, to Paul Rosenberg, to Curtis Hanson. Everybody who was involved in picking what they chose to sell the DVDs. It literally changed my life. It legitimately changed my life. You never catch me saying a bad word about Eminem.”
Marv Won also thinks Em will respond to Benzino: “I think Em is counting money. Respectfully, why would you pour gas on fire that’s dying out? That’s what a response would be. He will be like ‘you know what? I wanna keep this fire going’ otherwise it would not make sense to me. Competitive-wise, I get it.” You can watch the entire thing below:
Benzino has recently done an interview on Diverse Mentality Podcast where he talked about “Rap Elvis,” Eminem’s place in hip-hop, The Game VS Eminem and more.
“Look at the fans he got. They don’t have diverse mentality. If they do, everybody would sell like a highest rate. Royce and Eminem put out Bad Meets Evil. About 2 months later, Royce put out his album and did sold nothing. How would you sell 500,000 and 2 months letter you sell 10,000? That means 490,000 white people did not buy Royce’s album. D12, it’s Eminem’s group. D12 tried to do their own thing but what is D12 doing right now? As big as Eminem still is, why he does not support Bizarre if he puts out a solo album? They don’t they support Crooked I when he puts out an album? They are not even supporting a small percentage of what Em does. He has 41 million followers on Instagram. Why are not those followers supporting his artists. Wayne brought them and look at how great Nicki and Drake are doing.” said Benzino.
Then he continued: “The Game is lyrically gifted. Since Game was part of G-Unit, a lot of people didn’t want to believe that Game is going against Eminem. A lot of fans didn’t believe it because they figured Game was an ally. When Game did it, it kind of shocked everybody. I think the diss-track that he did was dope as f–k but Eminem didn’t even respond.”
“I’m going to shot the video for my diss. I’m going to Miami to shoot it. The artwork for the diss was done by AI.” – Benzino added.
He also said that he’s not going to respond to nobody’s diss aside from Eminem and Royce 5’9″: “I’m waiting for his response. I actually got one ready. I heard Ca$his is getting ready to drop one. Shout out to Ca$his and all the rest of them but I’m not answering none of them. Royce, I would answer. If Royce comes, I’m gonna answer Royce. I’m not gonna answer nobody else. Not even 50 Cent. He’s not a battle rapper. I think I could chew Royce. I don’t think Royce is that nice. I think Mickey Factz chew him last time.”
Benzino also responded Joe Budden for supporting Eminem: “When Joe sees and opportunity to hop on Em’s meat, he’s gonna take it. He sees that opportunity to get back in it because Joe came back with his diss song and that sh–t just didn’t stick. I’m sure he’s like ‘damn, I did that. It didn’t stick and now Em hates me. So now he sees a way to get back in. Joe, Em will never come on your show. No matter how much you scrub his meat. It’s gonna never happen Joey. Save yourself. Have some dignity.”
Then he get back at Em: “Go diss some real MCs! The battle rap ni–as! Just call them out! What the f–k! Outsidaz, the whole group dissed you! Shout out to Aziz, I didn’t mention him. Go mention him! I know what it is! He’s scared! What else could it be? he’s nervous cause if they do take on him, his career is over. He’s probably sh–ting right now like ‘I can’t believe this s–t, [Benzino went hard].’ Never happened this. This is a glitch right now.”
JAY-Z received the 2nd annual Dr. Dre Global Impact Award during last night’s Grammy 2024 awards show to honor his impactful legacy — and brought 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy on stage to celebrate. “Thank you very much. I used to say it was a sippy cup for Blue, but Blue’s grown up now she doesn’t take sippy cups,” he began. “And she has her own Grammys.”
Then Hov continued his speech by giving Dr. Dre his flowers: “Thanks to Dr. Dre. He’s somewhere here. There he is! Andre Young, thank you sir. All the doors that you opened. Showed us that we can be a rock stars. Seeing you on Rolling Stone. When you came out West, you took it to whole new level. Put us on the covers. Put us around the world, you and Snoop, all that y’all did all these records y’all broke. Thank you for this.”
JAY-Z also used his acceptance speech at the 2024 Grammys to call out the organization by questioning the process behind the voted categories: “We want y’all to get it right. At least getting close to right. And obviously it’s subjective. Y’all don’t gotta clap at everything. Obviously it’s subjective because, you know, it’s music and it’s opinion-based. But, you know, some things — I don’t want to embarrass this young lady [Beyoncé], but she has more Grammys than everyone and never won album of the year. So even by your own metrics, that doesn’t work. Think about that. The most Grammys, never won album of the year. That doesn’t work.”
Yesterday, The Recording Academy (The Grammys) presented the Special Merit Awards to Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award honorees Laurie Anderson, the Clark Sisters, Gladys Knight, N.W.A, Donna Summer, and Tammy Wynette. During an acceptance speech of N.W.A, Dr. Dre was absent and Ice Cube could not stop himself to throw a little joke.
Dr. Dre was a notable omission from the group of N.W.A members who were present in Los Angeles on Saturday (Feb. 4, 2024) to receive a lifetime achievement award from the Grammys. However, Ice Cube explained the icon’s absence by cracking a little joke. “My man, Dr. Dre, is not here. He wanted to make sure I let you know he’s not hating. He a billionaire. He got sh-t to do…[Laughs] We would not be here without him. We are grateful for him and his brilliance and his talent. His leadership.” said Cube.
The award was received by Ice Cube, The DOC, MC Ren, DJ Yella, Lil Eazy E and Eazy-E’s mother Kathie Wright. The CEO of Recording Academy, Harvey Mason Jr. also revealed the message Dr. Dre sent him before the ceremony: “I did just get a text message from Dr. Dre and I wanna share it with y’all cause I think you’ll appreciate it. It’s very short. As expected. ‘I’m honored to receive this award with my N.W.A brothers. We’ve been together for a long time so I regret not being there and being able to celebrate with you all. This ceremony falls on my daughter’s birthday and as much as I want to be with you all and all the guys, I could not break her heart. And I definitely didn’t want anyone to think that I’m on some funny style sh–t.’ Thank you everybody. Thank you N.W.A.”

Former Shady Records soldier Ca$his drops “Femzino,” produced by Rikanatti, a diss-track aimed at Benzino after the former co-owner of The Source magazine namedropped him in his recent Eminem diss record “Rap Elvis.”
In “Rap Elvis,” Benzino raps: “Okay, you found 50, and you put on five Detroit ni–as / Rest in peace to the best one, the rest of them sound iffy / So let’s go down your stable (Okay) / Gunn left your label (Uh huh) / Benny left your label (That’s right) / Con’ left your label (Ah) / Royce left your label, Joe Budden left your label (Damn), Ortiz left your label, know Crooked I couldn’t save you (Nah), Yelawolf been out here floppin’ and where the hell Ca$his at though? (Where he at?) Heard from Obie Trice only twice and not a word from Stat Quo (Not a word) With all them false lines that you pitched them / Shady Records sound like less of a name and more like a description (Stop it).”
Ca$his replied ‘Zino on Instagram, sharing a snippet of his and Eminem song 2007 song “Pistol Popin”. In the caption, he wrote: “Tell that little goofy man I’m on my way since he wanna know where I’m at..,” teasing a diss-track.
The song is now premiered exclusively on our channel. In the song, name-drops Benzino’s daughter Coi Leray with the following lines: “Sorry Coi, but your dad is f–king a ni–a,” claiming that Benzino is gay. He also namedropped Charlamagne Tha God: “F–k you over and let Charlamagne play that s–t.” The beat samples “War With God,” by Ludacris, a diss record to T.I.. You can bump the disstrack below!
After dissing Eminem on “Vulturius” and “Rap Elvis,” Benzino went on Rap Grid for an interview where he intentionally on unintentionally admitted that some people helped him write the diss record, specifically “Rao Elvis.”
“What reignited the beef with Em? I don’t know, I wish I could tell you. The only thing I could think of two days prior of him releasing Doomsday Pt. 2 I had did an Adam22 interview. I don’t go in there and tell them ‘make sure you talk about the Eminem thing.’ Every interview I do Eminem comes up 22 years later. It does not stop. I’m never don’t want to talk about that. Yeah, let’s talk. So they ask me the questions. I answer the questions. I think on that particular interview Adam was going harder on Eminem more than I was. Cause I was in my mindset like ain’t no more beef, that s–t was years ago. I’m 58. And there was other things that was said in that Adam interview and Em might took it as an offense.” said Benzino.
Then he continued: “People always ask me if I do a song with Eminem. Of course I would. Why would not I? It’s not even about the money. People don’t even realize I’ve done collabos with some of the best of them. Like Raekwon. I spit a hot verse with Rae. Nas. I’ve worked with a lot of great ones. So, why not work with Eminem?”
Then ‘Zino was asked about “Rap Elvis”: “I’m just hungry. Last time we were beefing I was multi-millionaire. When I say beef, it’s a rap beef. It really isn’t real street beef. Back then, I was more emotional and took things personal. Now it’s not like that… I don’t go in the studio by myself. I’ve done that but for this I got to bring my ni–as with me and motivation and bounce s–t of each other, why not? Because, number one, I’ve always been in groups and I’ve always been in studio sessions where it was gang of ni–as. So, when it’s time to write a verse there’s always somebody there to get in line. That’s what’s dope about hip-hop. That does not mean…Yah, sometimes I can go in there and write but where I’m at in my life right now, I still love hip-hop and I’m hungry. And the Eminem thing was just an opportunity to show the world that ‘look man, I’ve been doing this for a long time.’ I think my skills and my music is overlooked because of Eminem and his crazy a– fiends.”
Aside from Benzino admitting others’ writing his diss record, he told lots of lies in that particular interview. First, he DOES KNOW why Eminem threw shots at him. Adam interview was not even released when Eminem dropped “Doomsday Pt. 2.” The actual reason Em dissed him is because ‘Zino could not stop running his mouth for the last few years. If he does not remember, I’m here to remind him:
