Boskoe100 shows love to Eminem but questions ‘why dissing Benzino and not The Game?’

Boskoe100, also known as Boskoe1 is a hip-hop artist who hails from Inglewood, California. He became well-known in the music industry after a street feud went viral on the internet. He has recently sat down on VLAD TV where he talked about Eminem dissing Benzino and kind of responded Dr. Umar for saying Eminem can’t be one of the greatest because of his skin color.

“[Dissing Benzino?] It’s kind of whack, though. I ain’t gonna lie. Y’all had beef 20 years ago. Ain’t nobody thinking about that. Then why he didn’t diss The Game? We would have cared more, I would not really cared about him dissing Game either but I would have cared little bit more at least, if it was Game. Benzino? What is Benzino doing? It’s like being a bully at this point. You dissing Benzino, you bulling that man. He don’t even rap. He probably rapped before but he’s not a rapper. Benzino not putting our record. Benzino going viral for asking his kids for money. It’s like kicking a dead dog. But I love Benzino. I f–k with Benzino. I remember the whole The Source period of time. But even of more recent, I f–k with him because he gave us his daughter. I ain’t gonna lie, I love that ni–a daughter. Coi Leray is f–king amazing. I love her. Much respect for just breeding that bro. For breeding and blessing the culture with this beautiful spirit. So I don’t got nothing against Benzino. Never really did. But honestly I feel like Eminem trying to go at him is kind of like big corny.” said Boskoe100.

Then he continued: “[He’s one of the most dangerous emcees] I would never take that away from him. I would argue anybody down that Eminem isn’t one of the top lyricists in the game. I was born in ’82. So, as far as my lifetime, my love for hip-hop and my relationship with hip-hop, Eminem is undeniably in the top 10 for sure. You can’t deny it. Hip-hop was not about race. People always try to take away from his attributes just because he’s white. Hip-hop might have been a black start. It might started in Bronx and black dudes might started it but hip-hop was not based off the race. Hip-hop was always based off of the culture. Hip-hop is a culture. It’s not a racial aspect, it’s a cultural aspect. We do not matter if he’s white or not. If he’s spitting and doing this s–t that you ni–as started, he doing better than you, what’s the problem with that? That’s like saying a black actor can’t be the GOAT. That’s like saying Denzel [Washington] ain’t in the top 10 actors because he’s black. I’m sure that first play probably was not done by a black man but he’s in that white dominated genre or field and he’s one of the top 10 in the game. It goes both ways. Hip-hop was not based off of the race like Hollywood was not based off of race.”

“I’ve been an Eminem fan from day one. I always f–ked with Em. So, I never felt no kind of way about him being white but killing everybody off. It don’t matter who kill you as long as you get killed, right? It does not matter who the shooter is as long as you get shot.” – Boskoe100 added.

Charlamagne says Benzino’s diss was better than Eminem’s

Benzino has fired back at Eminem with a new diss song called “Vulturius” on which he mocks Em’s drug overdose and the death of his late friend Big Proof and Charlamagne looks impressed by it.

Eminem had taken shots at the former co-owner of The Source magazine on his recent track “Doomsday Pt. 2”, and now his old rival has responded on “Vulturius,” which borrows JAY-Z‘s “Where I’m From” beat. Zino raps: Candy-a– Eminem, b–ch-a– feminine/ Mad he lack melanin, all Valium’d up again/ Aw, s–t, here we go, Benzino vs. Jim Crow/ Know a custy when I see one, how many times you overdose?”

Benzino also mocks the death of Eminem’s late friend and fellow D12 rapper Proof: “You a punk, plan my funeral? Please, you shoot who?/ Square ain’t even go circle the block for Proof.”

It looks like Charlamagne was impressed by Benzino’s bar as the media personality talked about it on Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM: “That ain’t it Eminem. What’s the point? Why? It just sonically not appealing to my ears but why? What are they even beefing for?” said Charlamagne Tha God.

Then he continued: “From what I heard, Benzino snapping on this. It sounded like Benzino was kind of hard. Play that little snippet for me again…I got to give Benzino that one. I ain’t heard either whole record but if I’m going off snippets, Benzino has better beat selection, heard some better bars from Benzino than I heard from Eminem. I know that sounds crazy to say but am I lying? Benzino had some balls. Sounds like Benzino got him for me from what I heard out from those snippets.”

Benzino releases Eminem diss track “Vulturius”

Benzino hits back at Eminem with a diss-track called “Vulturius.” The former co-owner of The Source magazine responded Slim Shady’s recent single “Doomsday Pt. 2” from Cole Bennett and Lyrical Lemonade album, All Is Yellow.

“Doomsday Pt. 2”, Eminem makes fun of Benzino and name-drops his daughter, Coi Leray. “Now I got a riddle, one condition, you mustn’t laugh, what is the opposite of Benzino? A giraffe, “Go at his neck,” how the f–k is that? How can I go at somethin’ he doesn’t have?” Em raps.

He did not stop there: “Arm so short he can’t even touch his hands / When they’re up above his head doin’ jumpin’ jacks (Wow) / Sorry, I don’t mean (What?) to upset you, Ben’ (Yeah) / When I talk about (What?) all the debt you in (Uh) / I hear that you been (What?) creepin’ on the low / In them cheap hotels (Yeah), that they catch you in (What?) / Jesus Christ, dawg (Damn), when you said two-ten (What?) / Never guessed you meant (Damn) at the Red Roof Inn (Shit) / In a room with one single bed, two men (What?) / Shady, man, you can’t—, yes, you can / Well, I guess then I regret to inform you, hate to spoil the day (What?) / But this doesn’t bring me no joy to say (Huh?) / Guess that Coi Leray feat’s in the toilet, ayy?”

While Coi responded on social media, Benzino dropped a diss-track called “Vulturius.” In the song, Zino raps: “Invade our culture then insult us, time you get exposed / Lil’ ho, this Christina, Mariah, Michael or Britney? / What kinda f–k go to war with people dancin’ and singin’? Don’t f–k with 50, and keep it a buck, you ain’t tough.“

Benzino also finishes his verse with the following lines: “Never seen with a girl, never seen with a b–ch / But got a song What If I Was Gay with Joyner Lucas.” Looks Zino could not even understand the context of the song, which was leaked few years ago and has never been released officially.

Benzino wants to sit down for conversation with Eminem

Following the release of Eminem’s “Doomsday Pt. 2” where Slim Shady makes fun of Benzino, the former co-owned The Source magazine has sat down with Adam on No Jumper podcast where the two talked about Eminem.

“As hip-hop evolves, yes, the greatest rapper of all time can be white, because hip-hop is evolving and all races are putting effort in it. As far as Dr. Umar, I see where he’s coming from but then the argument is basketball and how can Michael Jordan be the best basketball player but the thing is, hip-hop has been so personal to black people’s lives, other than just being a music…Everybody can have their favorites but he don’t cheer like that for nobody else. I think Dr. Umar like me just gets tired of this s–t, like bro, relax, okay, he’s good. Em can rap. I always say this. Eminem raps in certain way. He puts out a certain type of music. It’s really his own lane of music. But because that’s not my lane don’t get mad at me. I think Eminem fans take it so personal that they are like ‘he’s the greatest!’ Okay! He’s the greatest to you. That’s cool. To me he’s not.” said Benzino.

Then he continued: “Listen, I swear to you, my thing was not about the music. I had my own personal issues on what I thought on hip-hop and that’s probably where I made the mistakes by involving The Source. I’ve let my personal…That was my mistake. That was wrong. Business-wise it was wrong. You are not supposed to do that. That’s not good business but I don’t listen to his music anyways. Our situation was polarized because of the beef. Because of us going back and forth. But that’s what hip-hop was anyways. Big deal. I made few songs. He made few songs. So what? I’ve never even met Eminem. I would love one day. Before I go and before he goes, for us to sit down and just have conversation about hip-hop. That would be so epic to me because with us, it’s bigger than hip-hop. A lot of times it’d be Eminem fans, it don’t even be him, it’s his fans that make you…Most of the s–t I’ve said on the internet is probably because of his fans, not even him. Cause he does not even speak on s–t. He barely does.”

“Eminem fans think that I’m racist because of our situation and that’s silly, never been and never has been. I never said that Eminem wasn’t a great rapper. I think Eminem is a great rapper but I don’t listen to that type of music.” Benzino added.

Benzino responds to Eminem’s “Doomsday Pt. 2” diss

Last night, video director Cole Bennett and music group Lyrical Lemonade dropped a compilation album called “All Is Yellow” which includes a song “Doomsday Pt. 2” by Eminem, produced by 22-year old Portland native rapper, singer and producer, Daniyel. In the song, Eminem dissed Benzino and slammed his daughter Coi Leray.

“Now I got a riddle (What?), one condition, you mustn’t laugh (Okay)/What is the opposite of Benzino? (Uh, what?)/A giraffe (Haha), Go at his neck, how the f**k is that? (Yeah)/How can I go at somethin’ he doesn’t have? (Haha)/Arm so short he can’t even touch his hands/When they’re up above his head doin’ jumpin’ jacks (Wow).” Em raps.

Eminem goes even further and claims that Benzino is broke and lives in motels with gay men. Slim Shady also throws Benzino’s daughter Coi Leray under the bus for good measure. “Well, I guess then I regret to inform you, hate to spoil the day (What?)/But this doesn’t bring me no joy to say (Huh?)/Guess that Coi Leray feat’s in the toilet, ayy? (Goddamn),” he raps.

While Benzino has not publicly responded to the song, I hit him in the DMs on Instagram and here is what he said: “Man c’mon, people are out here starving and this what he on? That nursery rhyme bulls–t??? He can’t even come out side on his own. Nah bro sorry. That ain’t it. People in Detroit are f–ked up. He got millions. Doing absolutely nothing. Tell me, who’s he donated too? You tell me. Who’s he helping? Tell me.”

Benzino did not stop there and continued: “Another note. Why won’t he fight me? Boxing. I’ll beat the link off him. He can’t even go across the street his entire life without security. I’m too old for this rap. Both of us are mid 50s. Like c’mon bro. He ain’t tough. He’s like a lil kid. I’m actually disappointed. The opposite of Benzino is a giraffe??? Really bro? This is what you are into? Bro he’s too old and nobody cares. C’mon man grow up.”

New Song: Lyrical Lemonade & Eminem – “Doomsday Pt. 2”

“Doomsday Pt. 2” by Eminem from Cole Bennett and Lyrical Lemonade compilation album, All Is Yellow, is out now! The song is produced by Daniyel and John Nocito with the original “Role Model” production coming from Eminem, Luis Resto, Mel-Man and Dr. Dre.

In the song, Eminem makes fun of Benzino, who has been dissing Slim Shady in the last few years. “Now I got a riddle, one condition, you mustn’t laugh, what is the opposite of Benzino? A giraffe, “Go at his neck,” how the f–k is that? How can I go at somethin’ he doesn’t have?” Eminem raps in the song.

Eminem employs a riddle to draw a comparison between his old rival, Benzino, and a giraffe, an animal known for its distinctively long neck. This riddle cleverly references a moment back in 2010 when Eminem, during the filming of “Not Afraid” behind the scenes, was ironically asked what he feared, to which he humorously responded with “Giraffes.”

By posing the riddle and asserting that the opposite of Benzino is a giraffe, Eminem is essentially saying that Benzino is not, and has never been, a source of fear for him. This is reinforced by the punchline that Benzino has no neck—a playful exaggeration suggesting there’s nothing there for Eminem to attack, both literally and metaphorically.

The line “Go at his neck,” a common phrase in rap that typically means to verbally attack someone fiercely, is turned on its head with Eminem’s retort, “How can I go at somethin’ he doesn’t have.” Here, Eminem is not just making a physical joke at Benzino’s expense but also implying that Benzino is not a worthy opponent in a rap battle. The joke about Benzino’s lack of a neck is used to underscore the point that Eminem feels there’s nothing to attack because Benzino poses no real threat or challenge to him.

The giraffe metaphor serves a dual purpose: it recalls a personal joke from Eminem’s past, thus connecting it to his larger narrative, and it functions as a tool to diminish Benzino’s reputation in the rap community. Eminem’s use of this comparison to a giraffe, which is known for its long neck, to claim that Benzino has none, is a classic example of his complex lyricism and sharp wit. This is a testament to Eminem’s skill in integrating personal anecdotes, and humor and dissing his rivals within his music. (via Genius).

Em continues bashing Benzino and mentions his daughter Coi Leray: “Arm so short he can’t even touch his hands / When they’re up above his head doin’ jumpin’ jacks (Wow) / Sorry, I don’t mean (What?) to upset you, Ben’ (Yeah) / When I talk about (What?) all the debt you in (Uh) / I hear that you been (What?) creepin’ on the low / In them cheap hotels (Yeah), that they catch you in (What?) / Jesus Christ, dawg (Damn), when you said two-ten (What?) / Never guessed you meant (Damn) at the Red Roof Inn (Shit) / In a room with one single bed, two men (What?) / Shady, man, you can’t—, yes, you can / Well, I guess then I regret to inform you, hate to spoil the day (What?) / But this doesn’t bring me no joy to say (Huh?) / Guess that Coi Leray feat’s in the toilet, ayy?”

Red Roof Inn is an American economy hotel chain in the United States with over 600 properties globally, primarily in the Midwest, Southern, and Eastern United States. Benzino has been reportedly kicked out of the hotel and allegedly sleeping with another man. Several rumours have been spread that Benzino is gay after he has reportedly “told the LGBTQ+ community to stop flirting with him.”

At the end of the verse, Eminem also shouts out J. Cole and Dr. Dre’s label Aftermath: “I’m back with Cole Bennett, And I been at the level J. Cole been at, It’s Aftermath that I ride for ’til I die.” Em has previously mentioned and praised J. Cole’s skills in the numerous interviews and Cole has named Eminem as one of his biggest influences. Even though there is much mutual respect between the two rappers, they have never released a song together.

Em also reminded everyone who had the best verse on Drake’s 2009 single, “Forever,” which also features Lil Wayne and Kanye West: “I’m not tryna be controversial, I’d rather, Talk about s–t with the purpose that matters, Like who had second best verse on “Forever”?” It’s popular consensus that Eminem laid the best verse on “Forever,”. Em is suggesting people to discuss who had the second best verse on a song, because you know who belongs the best title. Kanye West also previously revealed that when he first heard Em’s verse, it made him cancel appointments to rewrite his verse.

Benzino says he still listens to Eminem’s “Nail In The Coffin”

Benzino has recently sat down with Math Hoffa and the rest of the crew on the latest episode of My Expert Opinion where they talked about Eminem.

“Eminem got some cool songs. I like them. There is bunch of s–t that I don’t like that’s every artist. I like “Stan,” “Lose Yourself,” “Nail In The Coffin,” I like it. I’m listening to it. I do. I liked it. I did. Beat was dope and he killed that s–t.” said Benzino.

Then he continued: “My thing is, he deserved, like anybody deserved, every piece of success he got. He earned it. It’s just…When I was at The Source, I was at the top. I didn’t have to answer nobody. So, I felt like my message would get across.”

“Eminem’s disses , I’m keeping it real, none of his s–t really affected me because while he was discrediting me as a street ni–a, I know I’m street ni–ga. I know the s–t I’ve done. Ni–as in the street know so that didn’t bother me. So that’s why I never looked at it like ‘he ended your career’ or ‘he killed you.’ If he hit me with Nas’ “Ether,” I would probably moved out of the country. If Em had different beats on diss records against me, I think it would have way greater affect but anything Em can do, people go like ‘OH MY GOD!'” Benzino added.

Then Zino talks about his daughter Coi Leray talking about Eminem on My Expert Opinion. You can watch the full thing below:

Benzino’s daughter Coi Leray talks about his beef with Eminem & if she ever do a song with Eminem

Coi Leray has recently sat down with Math Hoffa on his My Expert Opinion podcast where she talked about Benzino and Eminem‘s beef.

“I don’t know about the Eminem thing. I was not old enough to understand it. So I can’t even tell you. I know that, anything that has to do with Eminem I don’t have nothing to do with those times. So don’t involve me in it. I’m my own person. Don’t do that.” – Coi Leray said.

Then she continued: “If it was the situation which I don’t know so I’m just saying because I’mma ride for my father regardless. Cause he is my father. I don’t give a f–k what anybody says. But right is right and wring is wring. At the end of the day I was not there to understand but what I do know all that rap beef s–t, even just today, is just a f–king noise to me. It is just so noise to me I just think it’s so corny. I don’t pay no mind to it. I don’t. If my father feels how he feels I was not there so I can’t give my opinion. I was not old enough to understand those times.”

“I watched 8 Mile and I thought it was a great movie. 8 Mile was crazy. It was one of the great movies. He was great actor. I could tell you some songs that I think are f–king great growing up because I’m very musically inclined. But that’s all I can tell you. I’m not an Eminem fan. I don’t listen to Eminem but I do know ‘I’m sorry mama,’ ‘Cleaning Out My Closet.’ At the end of the day, I was not there.” she added.

Then she was asked if Eminem reached out to do a song with her, would she accept it or not. “Hell no, unless I got my father’s blessing. I would sit down with my father first of all and bring it up to him. And hopefully he’ll be like ‘Do it, I passed the past.’ I love you and I support you anything you wanna do. This is positive. This gonna better you anyway.’ I’ll do it. But if he says otherwise then it’s a no.”

Benzino says Michael Jackson thanked him for standing tall against Eminem

In the latest episode of The GAUDS Show, Ray Daniels and Tamira Smith at down with Benzino where they dive into Benzino’s journey in creating The Source magazine, and the controversies that came along with it.

He also opens up about his experiences as a father and reflects on the lessons he learned through his relationships with women, including his time on reality TV. Zino also recalled some history with Eminem.

“First of all, I didn’t listen to that [Eminem] type of rap. That just was not my type of rap. He can rap. Eminem is a talented, skillful rapper but that’s not my type. The beauty of hip-hop is that we have so many different types of artists and I can listen to what the f–k I want to listen to. Everyone has their own top ten lists. If Eminem is on your top, god bless you, I respect that.” said Benzino.

Then he continues: “Let me tell you something. I was in Miami and Michael Jackson called me and thanked me, because when Eminem dissed him with fire situation in the video, I sat there and I listened to him. He thanked me and then he started talking about Tommy Mottola. That was one of the greatest moments in my life. Mike was not saying all white people are bad, we are not saying that. Not all of them are devils. Michael was referring to the situation in the music industry. He actually thanked me, because I kinda upheld, stood tall against him.”

“It was not a rap beef against Eminem. I wasn’t a decent rapper. I had decent songs but I was doing whole bunch of other things. I was a pretty good producer too. I produced Nas’ double platinum Stillmatic album, the very first song. Eminem came out and he just got different treatment than any every other black rapper. And I just didn’t appreciate that. So, when everybody was scared to say something, I was the only one who didn’t. And everything I said was true. I said that black people got hip-hop and we got white people to finally buy into us. And now they want to give the white people back somebody that they can buy into. And 200 years from now, when they pull up the history, and search who was the best one, there comes Eminem.” Benzino added.

Millyz says he grew up listening Benzino but Eminem’s his favorite rapper

Millyz has recently sat down with Bootleg Kev where the Cambridge, Massachusetts-born rapper talked about Eminem and Benzino.

“I did grow up listening to Benzino. I went to school in Boston. I’m from Cambridge but I went to school in Charlestown. When I’m 14, or something around there, I think that’s when I believe the Eminem and Benzino beef was happening. I know different facts than other people. I know Benzino and them really in the streets beat people up. It’s crazy cause when you have different understanding of somebody. I always felt like if fans knew my real real real real real life, they would love me twenty times more.” said Millyz.

Then he continues: “Even though Benzino’s raps were not the illest s–t in the world, I believed certain s–t. It’s more like you got a friend hanging out and he is a killer but is not like a real rapper but when he raps he’s rapping killing and s–t, it’s hard cause you believe him.”

“So, I will say that I listened to some Benzino but Em was my favorite though. I was like 90 percent Eminem and like 10 percent Benzino. But I would not just go against Benzino cause he’s still from 6-1-7.”

“My favorite Eminem album is The Eminem Show. ‘Say Goodbye To Hollywood’ man! I’mma tell you. He said some of the illest, intricate raps ever on The Slim Shady LP but he got so introspective on TES. From rapping perspective, Slim Shady LP is crazy. But The Eminem Show is incredible cause how introspective he got and s–t.”

“I’m not sure if Eminem knows me. I’m not sure. I feel like he do. I feel like I’m on Drake’s radar. Hopefully I’m on Em’s radar too cause I bodied a lot of Eminem beats. I bodied a lot of Drake beats.” Millyz added.

In case you missed it, Millyz has recently released “Tonight” single, his re-make of Eminem’s iconic song “Stan,” featuring Dido.

Benzino says he doesn’t regret beefing with Eminem, calls his fans most disrespectful fans in hip-hop culture

In the latest episode of Tony The Closer, Benzino spoke about his upbringing in Boston, visiting his father in jail, being involved in hip-hop and beefing with Eminem.

“Do I regret beefing with Eminem? Hell no. We gonna be dead a lot longer than us when we was on this earth and it’s about the name you leave, the legacy you leave. When we went at Eminem it was not a go at him personally. It was not to go at white people. It was who I was and what I stood for. What I believed. And the position I was in.” said Benzino.

Then he continues: “Eminem thing started as me saying a couple of words on a mixtape that was buried like a number 19 out of 20. Somehow he heard it and really got crazy. Once that happened, he went on Hot 97 and said a whole bunch of s–t. That was a major platform. I did not appreciate that because I’m still street ni–a and I know he is not. Now, he’s on the platform and he got other people talk s–t about me and I’m like ‘yo this never happened before.’ I was not used to that. That’s why I flexed The Source power in there. What man is not gonna flex the power he got in any situation. I just did what everybody else would do.”

“I don’t live with regrets because. I believed that hip-hop was given to us to help out the melanated people and now all because a white man comes in and he’s supposed to get caught blank with special treatment. 500 years from now, people are going to looking at us, they’ll look at history and say ‘damn, this hip-hop artists doing great back then’ and then they are gonna see ‘who is most streamed and most sold’ and Eminem’s face is gonna pop. That bothers me because its out culture. Its ours. It’s black people’s culture. What should somebody else get the credit to be the face of it.”

“They want to give us Eminem and he’s the greatest, and he is the most… No! It’s not fair, man. My thing is.. The only regret I have is not going harder. We are different kind of rappers, lyrically. I don’t rap about what he raps about. I’m not into the rap like that. I didn’t grow up listening to rap like that. I could relate to what was going on in my hood. You don’t have to be super lyrical. I like lyrical people too. Nas, Jay, they could put words together good. But “kakakaka” I’m not into that rap type. No disrespect. When he was disrespecting me, he was disrespecting my street credit. And my street credit was A1 and still is.”

“When you look at Eminem and his fan, they are the most craziest disrespectful fans that we have in the culture” – Benzino added.

Tony Yayo suggest rappers not to beef with Eminem, says Benzino made big mistake

Tony Yayo has recently sat down with VLAD TV where he talked about Eminem and revealed that he and his hommies run down Benzino during his beef with Slim Shady.

“[Eminem just got inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame] shout out to Eminem. One of the greatest. Shout out to Eminem. Always loved Eminem. Big accomplishment to being one of the best emcees in the world. Shout out to Eminem. Give him his flowers while he’s still here.” said YaYo

Then he continues: “He has always helped me in my career. He’s on my first album. He wore a Free Yayo shirt at the Grammys. So, I’m always gonna show him respect and love and salute him as well as Dr. Dre and everybody who else built this legacy. As well as Jimmy Iovine too. Cause Jimmy Iovine was a genius. Eminem was a genius. Dr. Dre was a genius. And we all fell in line. That was the best deal ever.”

“I feel like Eminem always got hated on. From, you know, Benzino and Source Magazine was big at that time, they were calling us ‘house ni–as’ and all kind of s–t back then when we were signed to Eminem. Color never really meant nothing to me. I’m from New York. It’s a Melting Pot of a color. I went to grade school and my first two friends were Ralphie and Frank Harveen. I say it again he was an Italian. I never seen color. It was white, it was black, it was Indian, Jewish, Spanish, Haitian, Jamaican, Trinidadian, Guyanese… So, I never felt that way.”

“Nobody every did anything in my career besides Eminem and 50 Cent. And I always say, him doing Free Yayo while I was in jail, I only had to do about two years and they kept my name alive. They started putting my name in the videos and Free Yayo shirt was selling. I’m always gonna salute him…Being attached to Eminem was the best deal, without Eminem and Dr. Dre we would not have that much of a success. Jimmy Iovine, Interscope, Shady, Aftermath – it was a f–king movement that was just f–king unstoppable. And you’ve seen how Eminem singlehandedly took down The Source magazine cause Benzino was always just f–king mad. I don’t know why but he was just always mad.”

“I remember me and my hommies run down on Benzino in Miami. I think that was the year when Suge got shot. I was on my ignorant s–t. We ran down on Benzino and I’m like ‘yo, why you always put me on magazine talking like that’ and he was like ‘yo we will give you a pass, you want it?’ I was like ‘yeah, I want the pass!’ but at the end of the day that’s an old s–t. I don’t wanna go back and forth with the ni–as online. I don’t do that. But the beef between Benzino and Eminem, I don’t know what it was, he was always mad at Em. And I looked at Eminem as a dude that looking out for us. F–k what color he is. He can f–king spit bars, he got f–king platinum records, he’s humble as f–k, he don’t bother nobody. But once you say something about him or his daughter, it’s a rap, he gonna rip your f–king head off lyrically and that’s what he did with the Nails In The Coffin. Rip motherf–kers head off. That’s what he’s gonna do. Trust me, Eminem is a type of dude that got diss records for everybody, you never know, he probably got diss records for me. He’s one of them motherf–kers.” – said Tony Yayo

“Even though I would never disrespect him. But he’s one of the motherf–kers who eat, sleep, s–t hip-hop. One of the top emcees in the world bro. I don’t give a f–k what color he is. He did me a favor that he didn’t have to!” he added.
