Benzino has escalated his feud with Eminem, taking aim at him on a new diss song called “Rap Elvis.”
Released on Wednesday (January 31), the track finds the former publisher of The Source magazine tearing into his rap rival for the second time this week after their decades-old feud was recently reignited.
Additionally, the music executive — who also happens to be the father of Coi Leray — took to Instagram to alert Eminem that he would be “cancelled” if he didn’t respond within 48 hours.
Benzino spends “Rap Elvis” assassinating the Rap God’s character, including questioning his relationship with his hometown of Detroit.
“I am the culture, you don’t even be around/ You don’t even come outside, you don’t even see your town/ Icewear Vezzo said, ‘Em don’t be showing the city love’/ Why you ain’t got no words for him, huh?/ He in your city, bruh!” he raps.
“I wonder why, we wanna see, just say something, please/ Could it be possibly you ain’t really from them streets?/ I was born and raised in my city, you shouldn’t come for me/ I don’t know where you from but they say Missouri loves company.”
Benzino later targets the Shady Records’ founder’s track record as a music executive, citing the many artists who have departed his label over the years.
“Okay, you found 50 [Cent] and you put on five Detroit n-ggas/ Rest in peace to the best ones, the rest of them sound iffy/ So let’s go down your stable: [Westside] Gunn left your label, Benny [The Butcher] left your label, Con[way The Machine] left your label/ Royce [Da 5’9″] left your label, Joe Budden left your label,” he spits.
“[Joell] Ortiz left your label, no, Crooked I couldn’t save you/ Yelawolf been out here flopping and where the hell Ca$hius at thought?/ Because from Obie Twice, only twice, and not a word from Stat Quo/ With all them false lines that you pitched them/ Shady Records sounds like less of a name and more like a description.”
The 58-year-old also criticizes Eminem for calling Black women “bitches,” not supporting the battle rap scene like Drake has and feuding with pop stars like Britney Spears, Elton John and Moby instead of those who have called him out like Young Zee and Pacewon.
“Rap Elvis” comes on the heels of Benzino’s earlier diss song “Vulturious,” on which he raised questions about Eminem’s sexuality and taunted him over the death of his close friend and collaborator Proof.
“You a punk, plan my funeral? Please, you shoot who?/ Square ain’t even go circle the block for Proof,” he rapped over JAY-Z’s “Where I’m From” beat.
“Vulturious” was a response to Em’s “Doomsday Pt. 2,” which arrived last week as part of the Lyrical Lemonade compilation album All Is Yellow.
The track found the rap legend reigniting his mid-2000s beef with Benzino and mocking his physical stature and financial woes, among other things.
Wow that’s hot garbage. Someone wrote that last diss this is pathetic. He just embarrassed himself lol.
Benzino is half white too though, kind of funny how he’s bringing up race. Roids killed his brain.
You have 48 hours to respond because I’m scared you’ll ether me if you take your time. – Benzino

Nerds run the world, Bruh.
“I’ll be banging me a few trannies while I’m waiting for you to respond”- Benzino AKA LikeMenZino AKA Mr ILuvMyLadiesWitBalls 😋
At least on this joint he made some claims that Em should address. Still garbage though.
Missouri loves company😂! And it’s true, EVERYONE LEAVES SHADY RECORDS! Same lame sound. FACTS! Eminem still sh!ts on this dude sleep walking. Funny sh!t though
Name 1 rapper who became more successful after leaving Shady Records… I’ll wait…
Yealwolf hella successful in life right now. Bout to drop a double too.
MENZINO CAME WITH THE HEAT
I CAN’T QUIT YOUUUUUU, EMINEM.
ROOM 204 RRI
wtf are u talking about?
Sounds like he wants to r*** Eminem
This one is kinda ight idgaf, y’all know it too.
We know he didn’t write it too
Better than the 1st one. But he has an unhealthy obsession with race again. It’s getting tired. It wasn’t a stunning joint but it flowed better.
ahhahaha all you dumb Stans …benzino just slayed your rap god. Never seen Feminem the weird beard dude in the hoody with a girl
Bumzino is too busy sucking on tranny dick to write his own raps. Plus, his arms can’t reach the notebook to write down any lyrics
Not bad…..Not bad at all….
Not good either….. Not good at all….
Rap “beef” is so childish and pathetic in this day and age. Beef used to be real… as in, it involved gangsters who attacked each other. This is just two grown men gossiping and insulting with a rythym, and they’re both past middle age average… so immature. Grown diss tracks are like the ones done by Masta Ace.
Rap beef been around since the beginning of rap. It’s a part of it, regardless of age or maturity. I think it’s immature they’re allowed to fight in Hockey, but it’s an unwritten rule, it is what it is.
100% he definately didnt write this this diss, he literaly dropped a min something the otherday and people were making fun of it, so he went back to the drawing board and had someone write this..
💯 and it’s still ass
Didn’t Bumzino date a tranny Shauna Brooks ? Em will have a field day if he responds
He sure did lol
Eminem is white? Thx benzino, no other rappers have ever pointed that out before. Lol what an idiot
He said he don’t like white rappers but is fine with beastie boys and 3rd bass lol
Highly doubt Ben write this one brcause its actually pretty. Ems initial diss was weak not sure why he even dissed Benzino at this point. Benzino is irrelevant so even if he talked trash there are actual good rappers Em can go at
He’s using the same insults as nick cannon smh
Bitch leave Elvis out of this. Elvis was black as fuck! Elvis opened the jail house for the culture, fool. James brown and Little Richard spoke those words.
Spoken like a true white man
I guess little Richard and James Brown were speaking like white men too. Fool.
He spit some facts. Not a Benzino fan but staying unbiased. Eminem will respond but he needed some firepower to get him ready for war. This is exactly what Eminem wants and needs to get in that mode. He’s a lyrical psycho
Benzinos face looks like he has balls in his mouth he’s so fucking wack
It’s better than the Eminem robot song, but it’s still not good. By the way Kool Keith is the Rap Elvis (Black Elvis). And calling someone Elvis is not a diss, just a small brained racist move. Like you’d call a black swimmer the Black Michael Phelps. Wow, what an insult! They both should retire. Boring rappers with no motivation nor ideas or conception.
Get Em Ray…real recognize real…RSO forever.
Damn this guy really craving some attention, huh? Hey maybe he’ll finally have a career before he hits 60. Fingers crossed.
Bro has never been relevant. Em is the only thing keeping any attention on his old ass.
