Title: Benefit...The next Eminem?
Post by: Now_Im_Not_Banned on March 09, 2003, 01:09:50 AM
Yo...Anyone here feeling Benefit?...I've been getting into him a lot recently...His shit is dope as fuck...He really reminds me of Eminem in his "Infinite" days...The way he structures his rhymes, the way he flows, and his battle-rap style is all similar to Eminem from '95...He's a white MC from the East Coast underground scene...If you haven't heard his shit, I highly suggest to check it out now...Download the following tracks...

1.Benefit - "Procede With Caution" (Probably his illest overall track)

2.Benefit - "So Sick" (This has got to be one of the most amazing lyricall efforts I've ever heard)

3.Benefit - "If I Owned a Midget" (Hillarious Rap/Comedy track...Not as lyrical as the other two, but still pretty damn tight...)


Enjoy...

Here are some lyrics for ya'll to peep from his track "Proceed With Caution"...





Artist: Benefit
Song: Proceed With Caution
Album: B.E.N.E.F.I.T
Produced By: Benefit


(Verse 1)
Professional, uppen the decibel a decimal above
Extraterrestrial audible vessels
For blood audible missiles and vocal dismissals
Like pistols tearing through MC's skeletal gristles
Beneficial, Ripping in the kids brain tissues
Leaving them a bit retarded with personal issues
Personal miss-use, of my tracks is tested deadly
Infested steady when my tracks are pressed and ready
To floods the brain like cocaine ingested heavy
And less than every, bit of protection when testing benny
I've battled plenty, and everyone is rattle empty
Without a skeleton to hold 'em up they had to temp me
And then correctly, spitting at me like a Jetski
Go ahead and press me, bones crunch like nestle
Arrest me, Sentence me and lock me away
So the streets can be safe for emcee's to play
By the way, when i spit don't get hit by a stray
Cause every random word i say can shatter your vertebrae
Every verb I spray is a mist called Herb-away
Word play, that will keep emcee's on the curb all
In a verbal way, I get violent and kill quick
To define me kids make up words like "Ill-Sick"
Whose a relic, wack emcee's heads are real thick
So the target is big, my metaphors will stick

(Chorus)
Unnecessary emotion
So logical [5x]
Proceed with caution
Unnecessary emotion
So unemotional [5x]
Proceed with caution
It will be painful
So logical [5x]
Proceed with caution
It will be painful
So unemotional [5x]
Proceed with caution

(Verse 2)
Behold Benefit, the old and degenerate
are healed by the power of his subject and predicate
The "Pro-ject" deliver it, whole of the rhetoric
Emcee's will fall like the soul of confederates
To all who consider it apologies follow these
Battle anthologies, emcee's say please
And possibly I'll display generosity
And watch thee velocity, when I'm spitting this atrocity
But probably not, and the robberies hot
When kids steal my rhymes and ignite on spot
If you bite on top, from being wack and dropped
Call it "I Bit Benefit and Made Pop"
And you get a hit, but being illiterate
Ignorant, and coming out ill legitament
My wrath will reach havoc on your family
Gradually, everyone will die through a homicidal tragedy
Bone and vital legacy, prophecy place me
President of emcee's genocide agency
Feeling me is like feeling a flame in hell
Casting a demon spell, so emcee's a dreaming well
And thinking they're real, knocked out on night Nightquil
In a dream land where they sick and real type ill
But lovely dreams soon come to a night mare
When they battle Benefit and they die right there

(Chorus)

Man Benefit iz dope...yaeh he won that Napster hip-hop contest...I didnt know he was unsigned, I though that contest gave the winner a record deal. Hes definitely dope-dope flow dope voice dope lyrics. That proceed with caution song iz a underground classic I love that track...mario bro rap iz funny not that lyrical and the third song I got by him iz 420 verified..napster song promoting napster lol. I heard he makes hiz beats iz it true? And an interesting thing about him iz that he started out jus like me and NIK and all deez onlnie rappers...with a 15 dolla mic n a computer. dope huh?


Edeya and abilities...they ok ive only heard that BIG SHOTS song by em...wasnt too amazed.

if he's a battle rapper that's probably why he's not signed... i mean be honest with yourselves... eminem wasn't the greatest freestyle battle rapper ever... he was good enough to be better than most of the scrubs he faced but he's not in the top of the top... eminem is a great writer and producer and studio artist

people like supernat, juice, canibus etc... can't make a decent studio album for shit... and have you heard some of Jin's new shit, it's awful.  true battle rappers are just that and what the industry needs to do is hold some real high profile high stakes battles on a regular basis to feed the battle part of the culture cause ain't none of them ever gonna go platinum... benefit included

i mean i've defeated all the pitiful talent that i've ever battled and i ain't nutin special... i got flow and i got above average freestyle lyricism... but i'd get smoked in a "real" battle with the top talent... but i can make a complete song and that's the difference

I disagree

I though Godlovesugly was deep and dope plus wellwritten and I really liked the beats


as for Benefit ya he's dope as fuck and got mad lyrical talent, Proceed wit Caution and So Sick are nuthin but heat.

he told me he was about to get signed so we may just have to wait

Well, who said Benefit can't make a complete song? Look at Eminem...He started battle-rapping, but later on expanded his horizens and subject matter...Benefit can go the same way Eminem went...I heard some tracks from Benefit that actually had meaning to them as well...What you said is true to a certain extent, but I don't agree that a Battle-Rapper can't blow up...He also does Comedy Rap which is popular nowadays...I can easliy see him blowing up with the Comedy Rap style he brings...Put him in a studio with Dr. Dre, and I guarantee he'll come out with something mindblowing...PeAcE
