Benzino Calls Out Dr. Dre For Crowning Eminem The Best Ever: “This Is An Insult”

by

Benzino has fired back at Dr. Dre’s recent proclamation of Eminem as the “Best MC ever,” labeling the praise an “insult” to other hip-hop legends. Dre had shared the take while speaking with James Corden on his This Life Of Mine podcast. He remarked: “I think he’s [Eminem] the best MC ever. Point blank, period. Of course, there are gonna be arguments with that because he’s a white guy…I don’t think anyone that’s rapping can touch Eminem on that microphone.”

After seeing the quote, Benzino, Eminem’s longtime rival, fired back on social media: “You know I think Dr Dre is one of the greatest producers of all time, and notice I didn’t say Hip Hop producers, but this is an insult to [Ice] Cube, [MC] REN, Snoop [Dogg], [The] Doc and every other rapper who wrote all those hits. I mean this is his opinion and I respect it but cmon Dre. [palm on face emoji].”

It’s far from the first time Benzino has complained about public praise for Eminem. While the two have been feuding for years, he recently broke down into tears while discussing his beef with the legendary Detroit rapper during an episode of Drink Champs. “My daughter came into the industry figuring ‘I gotta be cool with Eminem because everybody is against my dad’ … I don’t hate Eminem, I don’t know him to hate him,” he said at the time. “I don’t hate white people. I’m tired of this s**t, man. It’s just too much. I don’t want to be the bad guy.” Check out his latest comments below.

Kanye shared his original take during an interview with Big Boy after his headlining set at Rolling Loud, last week. “I done invented every style of music of the past 20 years, I created this genre. I created Weeknd’s genre, Trav, Drake…I’m gonna go ‘head and say it, with all love, Future and Thug also, because of the autotune album if you think about it,” Ye said.

The Game Praises Nicki Minaj’s “Big Foot,” Argues She Beat Megan Thee Stallion In Their Beef

by

The Game is picking Nicki Minaj over Megan Thee Stallion following their recent exchange of diss tracks. Speaking about the beef during an interview with VladTV, Game argued that “Big Foot” was a better song than “Hiss.”

He began: “I like ‘Big Foot.’ You know what? I like when she said, ‘Get on the good foot.’ I thought that was like a good punchline.” On the song, Nicki raps: “Bad b*tch, she like 6 foot, I call her Bigfoot/The b*tch fell off, I said ‘Get up on your good foot’” From there, Vlad brought up Tory Lanez shooting Megan, to which Game responded: “Exactly, or did she? Or did she not? I don’t know. I mean, I wasn’t there and neither were you.” After Vlad reminded Game about “Hiss,” the rapper added: “The thing about Megan’s Law is, didn’t that offend somebody or something?… In rap beefs, if you can keep it about the person, it kind of gives you an edge so I gotta give that one to Nicki.”

Steve Stoute Uncovers The Origin Of 50 Cent & Ja Rule’s Long-Standing Feud

by

Steve Stoute’s recent appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay expectedly arrived with plenty of shocking revelations. For one, the music exec tore into fellow industry mainstay Dame Dash, claiming that his separation from Jay-Z was the simple result of his huge “ego.” He went on to detail yet another high-profile falling out between 50 Cent and Ja Rule, revealing that he doesn’t believe they’ll ever be back on good terms.

“I think 50 knew that Ja was not who he was portraying as an image. Ja [was a] Jehovah’s Witness… I’m not saying they not supposed to rap, but Ja was coming up with this gangster image. It was like, ‘That’s a stretch for you…’ They had some very neighborhood beef,” Stoute began. “I remember when we signed 50 there was something going on. I think he snatched Ja’s chain, or somebody snatched somebody’s… And then they had a fight in Atlanta…and it was just like, I never understood it.”

Ja and his guys ran up on 50 in the studio one day. They touched him up,” he continued. “They’re never gonna be cool, and now, I’m happy that it’s all kind of over with… What I don’t like at this point as older statesmen is…it makes the artform look bad.”

“These guys are made men now,” Stoute also added. “The leaders of the artform doin well, being positive, representing…the movement and the culture of Hip Hop well.

Sada Baby Gives Inside Scoop On Alleged 42 Dugg & Offset Fight

by

Sada Baby recently recalled the dice game between 42 Dugg and Offset that nearly came to blows. Speaking about the incident during a recent interview caught by NoJumper, Sada explained that he would’ve had to take Dugg’s side in the argument had it escalated any further.

He recalled that 42 Dugg was shooting dice when Offset walked into the room and an argument quickly ensued. Sada explained that, even though he wasn’t close with Dugg, they’re both from Detroit so he would’ve felt obligated to stand up for him. “All our problems– that type of sh*t, it went out the door. So, thank God nothing happened,” he said, explaining that things eventually cooled off. “It was looking like Offset and his mans was about to try to press Dugg about Dugg winning dice fairly… If they would’ve f*cked Dugg up and I was sitting there, I feel like my city would’ve been mad at me for not helping Dugg regardless of what we had going on.”

The incident is rumored to have led to Offset feuding with Lil Baby, considering 42 Dugg is signed to his 4PF imprint. Sada isn’t the first person to detail what went down during the dice game. Wack 100 previously claimed to have been the one to de-escalate the situation. “I was there, I watched it. Got in the middle of it, stopped it,” Wack said on his 100 ENT show. “It would have blazed that night. Over dice. If it wasn’t for Wack, that n***a would have been in the morgue that night. I told Dugg, ‘You all the way wrong.’”

Ja Rule & 50 Cent Beef: Ja Recalls Allegedly Beating Fif During Fight, Says Feud Is “One-Sided”

by

Ja Rule might not be able to perform his shows in the U.K. as planned, but that’s not stopping the East Coast icon from talking to some of their most prominent media figures. On Tuesday (March 5), Ja appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored, at which time the controversial had plenty of burning questions about another popular New Yorker, 50 Cent. When asked who would win in a fight between him and Fif, the “Always On Time” artist reminded us that he allegedly already knows the answer to that.

“That’s happened already too, Piers. You gotta do your research,” Ja called out Morgan. “I did, Piers,” the rhymer added when asked who came out on top. Afterward, JR referred to his drama with 50 as “one-sided.” He said, “You never see me say anything about him. I just mind my business, do my business… I don’t do the back and forth.” Instead of taking the British interviewer up on his opportunity to send a message out to Curtis Jackson, Ja simply said that he wishes him well. As HipHopDX notes, the Fyre Festival founder’s comments take place around the 12:20 mark of the video below.

Ja Rule Speaks with Piers Morgan

In his 2014 book, Ja says he once beat Fif up with a bat during the peak of their 2000 feud. “50 tried to swing on me, but I dipped, then I hit him with the baby Louisville Slugger. Bam! I dropped the bat, I pulled the shirt over his head. I started catching him left, right, uppercut,” he claimed.

In other news, 50 Cent has some legal drama with Young Buck to deal with as winter comes to a close. The former G-Unit rapper is attempting to evade the $250K that Fif claims he’s owed with help from his attorneys, but we’re not sure who will come out on top when all is said and done.

Lady Luck expressed her disappointment in Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion’s recent beef during an interview with AllHipHop published on Sunday. As someone who lost their mother last year, Luck found Nicki’s lyrics on the song, “Big Foot,” distasteful.

And even if she only said it once. Like, ‘B*tch, you’re lying on your dead mama.’ That’s a hard ass line. But to make it like a [repeated phrase]. You know I love Nicki. I guess they say all is fair in battle rap and that’s why I’m not into that because that line, it’s rough, man.”
