Eminem: The Sauce (Benzino Diss)

The Eminem vs Benzino beef boiled from 2002 to 2005. Benzino started it off with “I Don’t Wanna,” and it spiraled into a series of responses and counter responses that included “Pull Your Skirt Up,” “Look Into My Eyes,” “Die Another Day,” and a bunch more from Benzino; and “Bully,” “Nail in the Coffin,” “Like Toy Soliders,” and this song from Eminem, which I think is the best of the bunch. I can only assume that Benzino thought a beef with Eminem would boost his profile. It doesn’t seem like a good to start shit with one of the best battlers ever, and the threats of violence in Benzino’s songs don’t seem legal, let alone advised.

Most of Benzino’s problem seems to be that Eminem is taking attention away from minority rappers. While I understand that, Benzino — co-ownerr of Source Magazine for some time — wasn’t exactly a minor player. And most people in rap respected Eminem for his skills. I do think it’s interesting that there hasn’t really been another big white rapper since Eminem. Any thoughts on why? Who do you think won this?
