Lazarus disses Benzino on “Ether” freestyle for shooting video in Detroit at Eminem’s “Mom’s Spaghetti”

Benzino has recently flown to Detroit to flim the music video of “Rap Elvis” in Eminem’s “Mom’s Spaghetti” restaurant. In the videos that surfaced online, Zino appears to be tasting spaghetti and then throwing it away in front of the restaurant. He also picked the signage board and put it into his car. Then he entered into the museum acted silly in front of iconic Eminem collectibles. While nobody from Shady camp has made any comment about it, Detroit’s own Lazarus speaks up.

Pakistani descent Detroit rapper and doctor has just shared off the dome freestyle, dissing Benzino over the instrumental of NAS’ iconic “Ether” diss-track towards JAY-Z. Lazarus checks Zino for coming to Detroit and disrespecting the city for acting like a fool in the restaurant. You can check the lyrics and the freestyle below:

While Shady in LA with Denaun and 50
You spend your last dollar droppin’ pasta at Mom’s Spaghetti
Dirtied up the room, now get the broom and mop my city
I got no pity, for this homeless beggar, drop you a penny
•••••••
I read your thought like I’m Xavier, you thought you was the savior
But Doctor got your chart, it says no thyroid or no trachea
Your daughter got no faith in ya,
head so damn big, the rest of your body is a eighth of ya
•••••••
Detroit is nothing safe for ya, it’s No Fly
Nosedive, ya flow dry
Unless that ghost rides, on yo side
Do what you do best, and go cry
•••••••
Oh I, got my scalpel for protection
You’ll be anorexic running that many miles, when you press run
Sayin’ the same thing for 20 damn years, it’s dead son
What to do when you got no other known skills and debt come?
•••••••
Get some rest bum, never mention the OGs of my town
I spray rounds, between patients I go see my rounds
It’s my round, no race baiting on my brown, face b–ch, I slap yo ass with my crown
Go back into your night gown, they see you, when emojis come they type clown
And this is just a freestyle, I don’t write down
•••••••
I take all, your fake jewelry, your fake shades, I break all,
Strike you like a 8-ball, like Mike Tyson will Jake Paul
Turn the lights on and see these cockroaches run away crawl
Disrespect Detroit again I’m AWOL, Lazarmy! Sucker!
– LazDetroit

Ludacris, Merkules & Lazarus react to Eminem ‘s new merch post

Eminem continues to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his major label debut album “The Slim Shady LP” (1999). Last week, Em dropped new vinyl featuring psychedelic zoetrope art, alongside some collectibles and clothing merch.

Few hours ago, Eminem dropped the animation of himself and legendary Jeff Bass of Bass Brothers recording “Public Service Announcement” in the studio with the caption: “This is a public service announcement / Brought to you, in part, by Slim Shady” #PSA #SSLP25.” The post brought huge nostalgia to the fans instantly, including Ludacris, Merkules and Lazarus.

“Public Service Announcement” is an intro to Eminem’s iconic SSLP album where Em and Jeff give some advice for children: “This is a public service announcement / Brought to you, in part, by Slim Shady (Tell them that the–) / The views and events expressed here are totally f–ked (Yeah) / And are not necessarily the views of anyone / However, the events and suggestions that appear on this album / Are not to be taken lightly (Tell them that–) / Children should not partake in the listening of this album / With laces in their shoes (Tell them that–) / Slim Shady is not responsible for your actions (Let them know–) / Upon purchasing this album / You have agreed not to try this at home (Right) / A-anything else? / Yeah, don’t do drugs.“

“14 year old me is freaking out right now.” – said Merkules in the comment section. “Jeff Bass is legendary.” – replied Lazarus with fire emojis and Ludacris added “Saluting Face” emoji. Jeff Bass’ son, Jake Bass commented: “That’s my pops!!! #JeffBass #BassBrothers” with laughing emojis. Check out the screenshot of the comments below:

In another instance of revisiting the past, Slim Shady is currently working on a project about delusional fandom that takes its name from one of his career-defining tracks from over two decades ago. In mid-February, Variety reported that the legendary Detroit MC is set to co-produce a documentary titled Stans, which is a reference to his song about a (fictional) devotee of his music who ends up killing himself and his girlfriend after he doesn’t respond to his letters.

New Song: Lazarus & Mr. Porter – “Scalpel”

Detroit rapper Lazarus drops new single titled “Scalpel,” produced by Detroit’s own super-producer Denaun Porter. The song showcases the art of lyricism bring it to new heights as Lazarus delivers multi-syllable rhymes and flow schemes with the sharpness of a surgical scalpel.

I recently had the opportunity to listen to an advanced copy of the latest single by Lazarus. I must say, I was really excited to see him collaborating with Mr. Porter Of D12 this time. This isn’t a duo I thought I’d ever see, but I’m always happy when different players in the game link up. You never know what might result in accidental magic.

There’s definitely no shortage of clever bars and tricky flows. Front to back the track aiming directly at barheads. Still, after countless listens, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t struggle to understand what this track’s actually about. There’s many obvious attempts to tie things together by working in a lot of lyrics that reference scalpels in some way. Some of it is actually really clever, but a lot of it feels just a little forced.  If you zoom out and look at the entire track, it comes off pretty unfocused lyrically. One minute, we’re referencing every trendy news story, next Lazarus just goes off on some vaguely braggy bars about himself.  On paper, the track is very impressive if we’re just talking about wordplay and how sharp his pen is. When you line-up the track against everything else already available in hip-hop though, it’s really tough to find a reason to choose this first.

The lyricism is 100% here, there’s no denying that. Unfortunately there’s some trade-offs. One of them would be a be a lack of a strong hook. Instead of capturing the main vibe, the chorus feels more like a commercial break that I wish had a skip button for. Lazarus just repeats the same 5, non rhyming words a few times over as we wait for next verse. The hook is just flat-out boring and forgettable. It’s especially weird coming from me, because I usually don’t care about hooks as long as the verses “wow” me for whatever reason. Heck, some of my all time favorite tracks don’t even have hooks. I’ll use this analogy: If a tooth is causing you pain, either fix the tooth or remove it. Give me a 3 minute track with back to back verses if you can’t give me a compelling hook.

Like the song title suggests, this is a sharp track designed for a specific task. “Scalpel” doesn’t present itself as a versatile cut designed to be the massive hit that captures every type of listener. At the end of the day, it’s a track I wouldn’t mind throwing into a larger playlist and hearing it it comes up once in a while. Otherwise, I’m likely not going to remember this track or find myself going out of my way to look for it in the future.

Lazarus ranks Eminem inside Top 5 rappers of all time

Fat Joe has recently set down with Detroit’s own Lazarus on Instagram Live to talk about many things that’s going on in the world right now.

As usual, Fat Joe asked his guest from Detroit to list his top 5 rappers of all time. Here is what Lazarus replied:

“My top five…Obviously Pac and Biggie, that cliché gotta stay in there. Because the impact they had on me. The genius GZA, who’s also personal mentor of mine. That’s one of my favorite emcees. He might be my favorite emcee just because of wordplay, science that he puts into it, you could see the connection to it. “Liquid Swords” is my favorite album of all time. Shout out to GZA, genius. Then I probably go with Nas and Eminem and Big Pun. That’s six but you know…”

Lazarus has also recently jumped on a track “Signs” with Locksmith where the two go into a lyrical warfare. Check it out below:
