The Truth Behind Benzino's Tears Over Eminem Beef

[@troydaboymusic]

Bro need to face and battle them demons before addressing Eminem again

[@tashafortner-pe7hn]

My bad, I spelled Eminem incorrectly

[@23imansaray]

Reminds me of comedians using telling jokes on stage as "therapy" instead of going to an actual therapist, and the next thing you know, the comic is on drugs, an alcoholic or they committed suicide.

Anybody who openly hates just have things they hate about themselves. I stopped taking hate seriously for a abt a year now. It’s just projection coming from a deeper place.

[@notforone]

He cried about hugging Eminem but from the very next day he was back on Eminem slander and posting his booking details for interviews. His words don't match his actions and he's a walking contradiction. If he's so sick of it all why does he actively seek it out? Because... he loves the attention. He's making money off Em's name by doing interviews where he keeps throwing dirt on him. His crying was only because he had too much henny, coke and weed in his system and it overpowered his system. Zino's been obsessed with throwing dirt on Eminem's name for 20 years now and making money off it - but the dirt on Zino... is much, much worse. He's not a good man.

[@kingdaveiv05]

This video proves how much trauma and pain there is in music, especially rap music.

[@simbalesliechoto8663]

After this Benzino continued his Eminem slander. You couldve gone a press release and officially apologized to Em then kept it moving. Now his on podcasts fitting Eminem into conversations and lets not forget the 2 hour showdown between him and youtuber Stevie Knight last week which was embarrassing. Its tiring to watch.

[@RelentlessForever999]

how can people post this interview afterwards? lol i'd feel too bad to release it

[@Water-7814]

Benzino's issue is whatever caused him to be angry at Eminem in the first place. I think the tape he bought and released of Eminem being disrespectful had more to do with it later.

[@abyss815]

I'm always confused by the what has eminem done for the culture or for the community?? And why are we not asking the same of any other artists??? Never her about what has jay or nas done??

[@notforone]

Exactly. But let's not let it be forgotten what Em has done for hip hop. He put on a lot of black artists. And if it wasn't for Em, we literally wouldn't have gotten 50 Cent, because the whole industry was blackballing him. No one wanted to sign him because of his beefs and death threats. Em took the step to sign him to Shady Records, he put out Get Rich or Die Trying under Em. Em has also put over a lot of other artists too - but it's not under his control how big an artist will get, that depends on the audience. I feel people have this expectation of him finding another Eminem or another 50 Cent. That's a very unfair judgement.

[@kennycenteno4220]

I felt that. Glad I grew out of the idea. Music is not a living but a hobby that if you're lucky enough can become a living. A sad reality many refuse to accept. It is what it is

[@williamillington]

Peace and blessings. At a certain point, maturing adults are too grown for bullshit and beef. It's sad to see. I sympathize with his statement about being asked about Em in every interview for 20 years. I can't imagine carrying that around. You're spot on about the mental health conversation. Let's not pretend like we cared when the signs were in our face but act surprised when something tragic happens. Even if it's the spiritual and mental decay that an individual endured for 5,10,20 years.. That's a long slow painful death at the end of the day.

[@PuffinPass]

Em been living rent free in Benzinos head for 20 years now and Benzino is now coming to terms with the fact that this beef is the only thing keeping him relevant.

[@Water-7814]

He doesn't care about that. He told you what he cared about. He didn't want to be disliked that much and he didn't want to be the villain anymore. He was mentally hurting from the drama.

[@PuffinPass]

@@Water-7814 then he shoild have thought about that 20 years ago when he straight up said he wasn't ever going to give the white kid 5 mics whether he deserved it or not. Don't start a war if you aren't ready to commit to it.

@@PuffinPass it's not the beef to be relevant. He had relevancy before with the source. It's his drama than over wanting to be kept relevant.

[@BonafideDG]

Great message

[@crnkmnky]

🤔 Now I want to check out what else he had to say to Nore. In isolation, this clip seems like a first step towards something positive for Benzino… despite the guaranteed negative reactions he is already receiving. I don't know the man, and I barely followed the beef. He's never given me any reason to like or respect him. I didn't read rap magazines during my brief love affair with hip-hop (1998-2002). I only recently learned he was an emcee _before_ the publishing empire. Personally, I appreciate seeing what lies beneath all of that tough talk: genuine fear of losing the culture, and exhaustion of being misunderstood. I understand _why_ Benzino and Melle Mel have issues with a white man being known as the top emcee. Em seems like someone willing to sit down and talk about it, but not willing to be talked _about_ like this. Right or wrong, going against Eminem is like kicking the Bey Hive; you just can't win. Anyway, I do hope something constructive comes out of this public humiliation.

[@notforone]

I won't say this about Melle Mel but Benzino is a deeply racist man. You can find lots of evidence on KZbin, from police tapes of his racist rants to IG Live rants. From the very next day, Benzino was back on Eminem slander and posting his booking details for interviews. His words don't match his actions; he's a liar. I can't trust his words because he's a walking contradiction. If he's so sick of it all why does he actively seek it out? Because... he loves the attention. His crying was only because he had too much henny, coke and weed in his system.

[@elbruces]

All of the reactions I've seen to that video, including from people who just before that were laughing at him and angry and throwing shots, as soon as that happened they were suddenly serious, like "oh, picking on that guy ain't fun any more." All the criticisms of him still stand, but almost all the disdain against him suddenly turned into pity.

[@burn1gotbeats]

Benzino was lit 🔥 😬 I like the message at the end 👑

[@NottyGurlStyle]

Benzino definitely needs to talk to someone who could help him heal… he needs to get Em off his mind and go work on himself and his issues. I had to do it..holding on to stuff… my mom passed (2010 right before I had my first child) and I stopped talking to my dad for years… he passed in 2021 and I’ve haven’t spoken to him… then losing my mother in law a month before and my job was on my a$$… I couldn’t take it anymore… too much stress and grief was weighing on me and I had to get help to get stuff off my chest… I couldn’t carry how I was feeling anymore… I think Benzino is at that point… he needs to stop drinking and go get therapy.

why aint Em buy 10 block for homeless black folks(giving them a home rarely fixes anything)? wut? i know for a fact if he did that....benzino would say "he trying to buy us off, you cant buy our culture" i say this as thinking em is a clown(2016 broke too many people), but he was talented. no one can deny. no race baiting can make it not true. i also think this guy shouldn't be being posted hes clearly struggling. not funny. if this wasn't live and they posted it they are scumbags.

[@viewlesscheese]

He literally would be nothing without Em. Rappers call out Em to revive a flagging career, yesteryear it was Benzino, lately it is The Game who said NOBODY should go against Em cos he the goat. Now the money is gone all of sudden Eminem isn't as good as everyone thought. These people are joke.

Benzino is a punk

[@davidyup3338]

Imo he just got emotional because he was thinking about his children and what position this puts them in. He literally said this follows him everywhere he goes, it is first subject. Its overwhelming of parental feeling I believe. I think its ironic, cuz maybe eminem is the one your message is best suited for? 🤣 Narcissism and Bravado go hand n hand in hip hop. People can definitely start to believe their own hype. Even worse if your good. You know what they say about successful businessmen right?

[@daveruss9972]

I dont hate many people but Benzino is up there solely for how he ruined a hip hop institution like The Source. That was the grail for us in the early 90s. And now we get all his goofiness on these podcasts. Homey needs to let that ego go.

Check out the wack100 interview with his girl and see if you want him to heal. If all that stuff is true then I have zero sympathy, if not man still brought it on himself tbh. I've never had no sympathy aimed my way never asked for none especially for my own shortcoming. It's one thing being sympathetic towards your fellow man it's another being a bleeding heart feeling bad for everyone who cries. I feel bad for those that feel trauma thru no fault of their own.
