This
beef between Ray Benzino and Eminem is still ongoing, the beef started
when Eminem was reportedly angry that Benzino had given Em
only 2 Mics in his magazine "The Source", and
Benzino gave his own group four and a half mics and also put
himself on the front cover of his own magazine. Benzino
called Eminem a "culture stealer". Eminem
retaliated to this by releasing 2 diss tracks on The Shady
Records mixtape, called "Nail in the Coffin" and "The Sauce"
on which he ripped Benzino apart with his lyrical attack.
Benzino admitted defeat in the lyrical battle but then in an
interview with Angie Martinez, Benzino accused Eminem of
wanting to be a racist and also said that he was ruining the
HipHop culture. In November 2003, Benzino held a press
conference where he claimed he would prove that Eminem is a
racist by playing a tape of Eminem freestlying. The tape
was of Eminem rapping about black women being money grabbers.
The music industry didn't take as bad to the tape as Benzino
would have hoped. Most people realised that Eminem was
young and was rapping in the aftermath of a bad relationship
with a black woman. Eminem released another diss towards
Benzino named "Bullly" and apologised for the tape. As I
said, this beef is still ongoing, so keep checking back to
EminemInfo for updates on the beef.
