	CMT.com : Ray Benzino : Biography
		Keeping this in mind, it's no coincidence that Benzino embarked on his solo career in 2001 with much support from his magazine: among other endorsements for his debut album, The Benzino Project, he appeared on the cover as well as a foldout centerfold.
		Benzino decided shortly afterward to launch a press assault on Eminem, eventually releasing the "Pull Your Skirt Up" single, which spouted off several insults toward the white rapper.
		Not to be outdone, Benzino began claiming that his track was a response to racism in America, and started claiming it was the machine he was railing against, not Eminem.

	:: MVRemix: Album Reviews - Benzino - Redemption ::
		While Benzino's plan worked as far as getting attention for his album, the remainder of the plan back fired as "Redemption" is nothing more than an average attempt to strike it big for Benzino.
		Benzino was never the best lyricist but he was never this bad.
		Benzino and Hangmen 3 have always been one of the more underrated production teams in the industry so its no surprise that several tracks are memorable in the production side.

		Long before his connections with preeminent rap magazine The Source and his never-ending beef with Eminem, Benzino was a hard-working rapper who cut his teeth in many esteemed groups.
		Benzino is a tortured soul with a powerful, throaty delivery and many things on his mind, both lighthearted and darkly twisted.
		On ARCH NEMESIS, Benzino shows more than just a mogul eager to battle--he's a bottled-up MC ready to prove his worth to the world.

	The Eminem vs. Benzino Feud
		While Benzino was inserting Malcolm X quotes in his diss songs about Eminem, it would've served him well to have listened to them first and seen how they were relevant in his own life.
		Maybe Benzino might want to look at the fact that he is just one of any 10 million rappers out there talking about the same shit on every track of every album.
		Unfortunately Benzino, you and your magazine of "Yes Men" as of late haven't excelled at anything other than being haters whose shameless attempts at trying to conjure up Malcolm X and other images in the fl community, all in an effort to bring credibility to your pathetic crusade "to take the streets back" is unprincipled.

		The audio of the interview was played in its entirety for the room in which Benzino accused Osorio of attempting to extort The Source by demanding a contract in exchange for her withdrawing the written complaint.

		The latter fact alone already made people suspicious of The Source, but backing Benzino in his Eminem feud is the last straw for the few true believers left who still remember the days when 3rd Bass made the magazine's cover.
		The worst part is that Benzino has never been a terrible rapper, and his crew Hangmen 3 are some of hip-hop's best producers, with beats that are always respectable and occasionally stellar.
		Benzino's lyrics certainly aren't worse than any other rapper with two feet rooted in the underground and one hand reaching out for commercial airplay.

		Benzino's subject matter is the same on just about every song and him rapping like he's one of the top MC's should just be left alone for the top MC's in the game.
