Cole Bennett and Lyrical Lemonade team have finally dropped the music video of Eminem‘s “Doomsday Pt. 2” song from All Is Yellow album with the cameos from Big Sean, BabyTron, Denzel Curry, Teezo Touchdown, JID, Swae Lee and Cordae and Coi Leray and Benzino were quick to react on it.
In the song, Eminem throws jokes at Benzino for almost a minute and name-drops her daughter, Coi Leray with the following lines: “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).”
Coi responded to the video by commenting “Cute” under Cole Bennett’s latest post on Instagram. Benzino also didn’t take long to react to the video. “He finally responded‼️ can someone tell me what in the plastic surgery happened to his face?? He looks like a waking corpse. Nah…this ain’t it. RAP ELVIS DESTROYED Eminem.” said Zino on Instagram while sharing a snippet of the video posted by Detroit Rap Daily. Someone replied: “Man, you don’t want him to respond. this is the same song you milked some extra sad fame.”
Cole Bennett and Lyrical Lemonade team have finally dropped the music video of Eminem‘s “Doomsday Pt. 2” song from All Is Yellow album with the cameos from Big Sean, BabyTron, Denzel Curry, Teezo Touchdown, JID, Swae Lee and Cordae and Coi Leray is one of the first to make a comment about it.
For the track’s music video, Cole stages Shady in front of the album’s signature yellow curtain, on a set that resembles that of the “Doomsday” video. Bennett, of course, also suits him up in an all-black three-piece suit and yellow tie. “It’s an honor to have Eminem on the album. Thank you for always leaning into my vision and believing in me. Apologies for the delay on this video, I’m trying to tell a greater story with these videos that will all make a bit more sense later on and I wanted to make sure I get this one right.” – Cole Bennett wrote on Instagram.
In the song, Eminem throws jokes at Benzino and name-drops her daughter, Coi Leray with the following lines: “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).” This is a reference to an interview that Coi Leray did with Math Hoffa in which she was asked If Eminem reached out to do a record, would you do it with him, to which she responded: “No, no, hell no – unless I got my father’s blessing. Like I would sit my father down first of all and bring it up to him.” Implying that had it not been for the long-standing beef between Eminem and her dad, she would’ve liked to do a feature with him. This is emphasized in her comment that she would consider it if her dad gave her the go ahead. Eminem is, in essence, giving us the Spoiler, that if Coi ever did want to collab, it won’t happen, and that is regardless of whether Benzino agrees to it or not, because Eminem himself is not open to the idea.
When the song was released, Coi responded to Slim Shady on Twitter: “N-ggas went through so much s–t in 2023, you would have thought people found God in 2024. Mfs be so caught up in the devils work, it’s almost Impossible for them to change. Rap beef is so washed and tired. Exhausting. Embarrassing. Just f–king over all corny as f–k….I got no issues with no one. I’m so locked in on my grown and sexy vibes… if anybody don’t like me, that’s something they gotta take on with them selves…Man who the hell said I wanted a Eminem feature?? Imagine Eminem on Wanna Come thru?”
Coi Leray has just reacted to “Doomsday Pt. 2” video as well. Under Cole Bennett’s latest post on Instagram, she commented: “Cute.” Someone replied: “a diss song about ur father ain’t cute, sell out.” Another commented: “Em will end your career faster than he ended your fathers.” Check out the screenshot of the comment below:
Earlier this year Cole Bennett and Lyrical Lemonade released All Is Yellow album which includes Eminem’s “Doomsday Pt. 2”. The song is the continuation the first “Doomsday,” track by Juice WRLD and Cordae and Eminem spends the track mostly throwing jokes at his longtime enemy, Benzino. The two have a long history of beef.
All that was known from this track at the time was back on November 17, 2023, where Cole Bennett confirmed via Twitter that there was a second part to “Doomsday,” when a fan asked if there was another Juice WRLD song on the album, to which Cole denied at first.
The day “Doomsday Pt. 2” was released, Benzino responded to us through Instagram DMs about the track, to which he stated: “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. 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.”
Coi Leray, the daughter of Benzino, would also give her take on the song through a series of tweets, denying that she wanted an Eminem feature to begin with and calling the beef “washed,” as she states: Misery loves company. “N-ggas went through so much s–t in 2023, you would have thought people found God in 2024. Mfs be so caught up in the devils work, it’s almost Impossible for them to change. Rap beef is so washed and tired. Exhausting. Embarrassing. Just f–king over all corny as f–k….I got no issues with no one. I’m so locked in on my grown and sexy vibes… if anybody don’t like me, that’s something they gotta take on with them selves…Man who the hell said I wanted a Eminem feature?? Imagine Eminem on Wanna Come thru?”
After that Benzino dropped two diss tracks aimed at Eminem, one of which he received high praise but was caught of using ghostwriters. Since then, Benzino is waiting for the response but Eminem went absolutely silent. But now Slim Shady is back with the music video of “Doomsday Pt. 2” which was supposed to be released in February but was delayed for unknown reasons. You can watch the video clip below, featuring comes from Big Sean, BabyTron, Denzel Curry, Teezo Touchdown, JID, Swae Lee, Cordae and more!
Cole Bennett has recently sat down with Anthony Fantano where they talked about how Eminem’s “Doomsday Pt. 2” happened to be on Lyrical Lemonade’s All Is Yellow album.
“A lot of songs in the album were really collaborative. We got to build out the concepts and a lot of really great in-studio sessions and moments and re-working things… ‘Doomsday Pt. 2’ came about…we flipped the original beat and and sent it to him long, long time ago and I didn’t know if he was ever going to do anything on it or not. And as the album was approaching and we are getting ready to turn the things in, it came in. We were actually working on a few other songs on the album. Some that didn’t end up landing on the album that I’m really excited about. Like I said, I didn’t know what to expect, it was not a collaborative thing as much as the others songs. It’s the continuation of the original ‘Doomsday’ which is a flip of his old song to begin with, ‘Role Model.'” said Cole Bennett.
Then he continued: “I really enjoyed some of the delivery and how it came, the Benzino thing to me, it’s just something like I heard the same way that everyone else did. It was just what he had sent in and what he has going on in that department. It has obviously nothing to do with me but I think it created a dialogue and they have their own history and that’s where he was at when he made the song and I think that’s what makes it special on its own way. That’s just what he was feeling that day when he approached that song. Benzino was on his mind I guess.”
“Getting to work with Eminem is one of the highest honors and to have him a part of this project and just look at that tracklist and seeing him on there is nothing short of a childhood dream, so I’m just thankful he could be a part of it.” Cole Bennett added.
“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.
