For all the shootin niggas do-they never hit shit. Yesterday migos, today benzino and these niggas still walkin. Yall weak ass niggas need to hit the range before runnin up on muthafuckas
Wait, you’re actually giving advice to these worthless thugs on how to kill people?!?!?
how disrespectful bringing guns at a funeral hopefully Benzino is in good conditions hopefully and doesnt try to get even w/ that punk rappers that are in their 40s should really abandon this street/thug life
its an embarasment now
hes in his 50’s no?
Hope he recovers. Despite what you might think of him he is a legendary hip hop figure. Respect.
A legendary asshole maybe, that about it.
Eminem should really leave Benzino alone.
fucking clowns cant even show respect at a funeral
damn benzino always in the mix of some shit lol getting shot at his moms funeral
i smell a Soprano’s like set up. “Cmon Nephew, just cap me once and get my name back in the news. Show everyone how thug I am, I’ll give ya a producer credit on my next album. It won’t even sell wood in the first decade
no sane person would do some shit like that at their mothers funeral
^^ But Benzino’s not a sane person.
hope he dies
co-sign
bunch of loser internet trolls. Karma will catch up to your insensitive asses.
He is probably happy to finally be amongst rappers who got shot to show how gangsta he is. Rappers who claim they grew up a hard life growing up in Middle Class, white-bred Boston always makes me laugh.
You wouldn’t walk into a pub in white-bred middle class Boston talkin’ that shit, believe me. You’d be pickin’ green Heineken glass out of your nose for a month.
Yeah right, cause Boston cacs are THAT fucking hard, lmao fuck outta here nigga, u probably ain’t even from America
@Anon
U aint even from Boston, prolly some white kid from the burbs who has a gruge against Boston nigg@s cus we fucked ya bitch/mammy and robbed ur faggot ass when u came to our city.
You would never say the shit u jus said in Dorchester, Roxbury or anywhere else in Boston.
Keep hiding behind ur keyboard, lil faggot internet tough guy, lol.
it is a well known fact that boston is for pussies
@anon
“it is a well known fact that boston is for pussies”
Lol, u really hit a nerve that time,really. Try come up with some better material……..(goes back to fuckin ya moms)
Nail in his coffin
Eminem probably shot him.
Nah, Eminem’s too busy getting money to shoot a washed-up bum.
Apparently he’s all good with Eminem though? Like, he praised him ‘n shit.
they’re too old for that beef shit.
Thoughts and prayers are with him and his family. Hope he recovers fully.
5 Mics!!!
LOL
It’s Murda!!!!!!!!
Multiplied shots.
niggaz cant do this shit at his mums funeral…. this shit is low 🙁 Benzino get well soon dog
Alot of rumors floating around that money is the reason Benzino was shot this is a ugly situation when family attack each other and at a funeral
funny how benzino was driving a dodge and his nephew that shot him was driving a bentley
Who?
if you’re under the age of 25 it doesn’t matter
Mike Jones?
this fag is only famous cuz eminem dissed him
do you mean he is famous because the fag eminem dissed him?
who’s Eminem?
“who’s Eminem?”
Your Daddy
nah benzino dissed the RAP GOD first
Funerals in the hood are the ugliest aspect of the hood, and that’s saying a lot. It’s a disgrace. Women trying to outscream and outcry each other, falling all over the place, swearing and pointing fingers, fighting in front of the 80 year old grandmothers and shit. Arguing over money and who loves the person and/or betrayed the dead relative more. It’s a national embarassment. I don’t even go to them shits no more unless I have to, and I bounce once all the bullshit starts.
let’s not act like only black/hood people be that way at funerals.
r u kidding? obviously its only black women who act like that at funerals, everybody else is enough of a human being to respect the grieving process
every funeral ends in a fight during the drinking afterwards and a argument bout who gets what white black Asian whatever
I rather not discuss with you niggas since it’s apparent y’all just some immature 10 year old white suburban child trying hard to be accepted. “everybody else is enough of a human being to respect the grieving process”, for real, son? If you’re gonna troll, at least try something better.
this is just for ratings for that fakeality tv show he is on.
loser
of course it was his black side of the family
man dude thas raycess
I’ve been hearing the white side of his family is actually the hood side
hahaha I aint even a Eminem stan but benzino was a fuck boy couldn’t rap and started that whole Eminem beef because he was white and benzino albums were not selling shit just fuck-boy tactics completely backfired.
Giving his own group 4 n a half mics in the source magazine lost all credibility n he lost the magazine soon after
lol, a rapper/reality tv star. could you sound any faggier? remember when rappers used to be gang members? now theyre just pussy bitch actors
2 funny 1
That’s what you get for rapeing eminem
Was he wearing a Boston Bruins hockey jersey when this happened?
Nah he was wearing your double chinned cousin’s turtleneck
i would hope he wouldnt wear a jersey to his mommas funeral
His Nephew is an Eminem Fan.
fake…
why they get the pic of his herpes and throw it up there… uncool
Maybe it’s Karma for ruining The Source magazine?
who gives a fuck? This is the same muthafucka!! that tried to have Paul Pierce k i lled
On September 25, 2000, Pierce was stabbed 11 times in the face, neck, and back and had a bottle smashed over his head while at the Buzz Club, a late night dance club in the Boston Theater District. He had to undergo lung surgery to repair the damage.
bs
You fuckers are heartless…I love Shady as much as the next guy! But god damn, I’m sure EM himself is feeling bad about this! Get well Benzino! Karma is a motherfucker! I hope you get to rest and get well hommie! and let your hommies handle this shit! Fuck…At his momma’s funeral?? FUCKING LOW MY DUDE… LOW!!
Let his homies handle what? It was his cousin that shot him, not some thug nigga from the other side of town trying to prove that he’s gangsta. If he’s man enough he should be able to handle that shit himself instead of paying some goons to shoot up his cousin’s house in the middle of the night.
“It was his cousin that shot him, ”
Nephew not cousin
“i smell a Soprano’s like set up.”
“No sane person would do that at their mother’s funeral.”
“But Benzino’s not a sane person.”
LMAO comments should be closed after that last one
Lol at this dude hating on Boston, jus cus his moms was trained there.
hes tryna putta nail in his coffin
washed up, unoriginal joke.
I’m wondering what’s Lord Jamar opinion on this …
Plus Adam Harding should have written “sauces tell me” in his last tweet, or at least capitalize that first “s” in “sources”.
At his moms funneral… This guy is so unrespected
yeah because of your boyfriend!
benzino earning his real nigga stripes. You gotta suffer before you can be considered as a real nigga like the emperor of all real niggas BIG GUCCI
Say what you’ll say, (and I’m not a fan) but dude already has stripes and did his dirt. You sir, should go and check your street cred before you start popping off from your keyboard.
Lord jamar will probably blame this on the white man
“boston rapper benzino” what a nieve turd
how you expect to get away with a shooting if you do it outside a funeral and you drive away in a fucking bentley?
“On September 25, 2000, Celtic’s player Paul Pierce was stabbed 11 times in the face, neck, and back and had a bottle smashed over his head while at the Buzz Club, a late night dance club in the Boston Theater District. He had to undergo lung surgery to repair the damage”
Karma’s a biiiitccchhhh.
Karmas a bitch that take 14 years to get dressed and comes out looking like a hoe any damn way?
Great way to see your Mom off. What a shitty thing to do at a family members funeral. Wasters.
2nd most hated rapper after Lord Jamar, white people despise this poor guy.
most white people dont know who this guy is
I would bet less than 1/100 white people polled would know what a Benzino is.
Haw Haw!
Someone wasted a bullet on Benzino? Can they get heir bullet back?
heir?????
more than one apparently, i think he took 3 slugs
Flesh wounds
Respect the shooter
Hope this little needle dick faggot dies
Everyone knows Benzino got ran out of his town years ago by his family & so called friends..
DONT BE FOOLED PEOPLE…NIGA TOOK 2 GRAZE LICKS TO GET IN THE MEDIA…THIS IS ALL PROMO FOR THAT WACK ASS REALITY SHOW FOR VH1 NEW SEASON…
