THE INTERVIEW RAY BENZINO DOES NOT WANT TO READ

<< < (2/3) > >>

Don Seer:
^ nope every publication does need its stance...

you're on dubcnn because you provide a different angle on things.. thats a good thing is it not?

SGV:
Dubcnn is a good example. If it was up to me, a lot of the artists we update on, wouldn't get any shine there. But, I bring updates, as does Nima, on all artists.

If it was up to me, I'd put Dre and Snoop on blast, but to keep the site neutral, I keep my comments for here. That's how journalism should be.

Don Seer:
lol. you cant seriously have a west coast site and not cover snoop+dre... we still dont cover everything.. but we're getting there :)

least we agree.. its all for the greater good :)

Jome:
LOL @ having a Westcoast site and putting Dre & Snoop on blast..


Anyways, doing a interview with a former Benzino-komrade doesn't mean that the publication/website is biased, for all we know Boston Strangla could agree with Benzino and put Eminem even more on blast.
At least Aftermathmusic isn't hosting a press-conference to announce it, though it would have been kinda funny.

Didn't say not cover them. I said but them on blast. I'd like to write an editorial on my feelings about them, which ain't too high, but I know that would be bad for the site. So, I wouldn't do it.


BTW, this interview ain't that bad, but I did see an update on the site that made me think they're being bias.


--- Quote ---I got this from a message board dont know what one though.

As you all know by now, Benzino (who is NOT a co-founder of the Source, as is often reported) has released tapes of a much younger Eminem using the N word and bad-mouthing Black women in a rambling, amateurish freestyle.

But what Benzino's not telling you is that he himself was once affiliated with a white emcee, and that white emcee used the N word on the track they made together. In fact, it appears that Benzino told his white emcee to use the N word.

The emcee in question is named Bawston Strangla, and his connection to Benzino is detailed on his web page here, where you can also download the song he and Benzino worked on together in 2000, "Shamrocks and Glocks". About 35 seconds into the song you will hear Strangla drop the proverbial "N" bomb, in a passage that sounds very random and out of place alongside his other lyrics.

Through some rudimentary googling I got in contact with a representative of the Bawston Strangla today. He indicated that Strangla is no longer associated with Benzino, and explained that while recording Shamrocks and Glocks, "during the session benzino told him to use the N word in the song".

Benzino told him to use the N word.

This does nothing to minimize the offensiveness of Eminem's newly unearthed lyrics, but it certainly places Benzino's righteous indignation in a different light. Just in case anyone was starting to take him seriously.

Just seemed like poor journalism, not even citing a source. Sort of like an attempt to discredit Benzino.
