Check this idea out...i'm talking out my ass, but hear me out.
What if Benzine-HO is actually on Em's payroll? Any publicity is good publicity...right.
What keeps any artist/actor/entertainer in the minds of everybody across america...BAD PRESS!!!
Who has a major magazine publication? Who has been dissin' the fuck out of the most prominent (white) rapper in rap history. One of the most well known rappers of all time (accept it or not...everybody has heard of this fawlkin' guy). And the winner is. . .
Mr. BEN -ridin' Em's Nuts for Days- ZINO!!!
What happens everytime this fuckin' jag-off has some dirt to talk on Eminem's name??? People talk about it. Everybody on this board (BAY AREA rap talk...Not Emineim Rap talk) and every other rap, entertainment, and/or music message board talks about him. Can't get anymore in the public's eye that that.
Oh...wait...how about in The Source and other Hip-hop/rap/entertainment magazines...cable t.v. shows...radio...etc.
Who profits? The both do.
Benzino has "tried" to make a name of talkin' shit about the "next man." And he has...I never even heard about Benzino before he started runnin' his mouth about eminem. He is the apitomy (sp?) of the "HATER" that ALL rappers talk about.
He plays the role that almost nobody want's to play...THE HATER. But he is also a business man. Everytime you here about Benzino...he has Em's name in his mouth. Sure maybe he really hates Eminem and has a vendetta against him or what every the fuck you wanna call it, but i'll tell you this...he has been Eminems biggest promoter/hype man/etc. He should know that the easiest way to hurt marshalls career is not to say anything at all.
...takes a hit of the bud...regroups...continues...
OF COURSE HE KNOWS THAT SHIT!!! He is a co-owner in a nationally distributed magazine!!! He is a business man.
The entertainment industry is like a soap opera or a movie...you need actors to play certain roles. And you alwayz need a villian...which the villian in movies normally represent the most fucked up, low self esteem havin', bully, tryna bring the next man down type of people. This is just a strategikley (sp?) written screenplay...written by the people who run THE INDUSTRY...who are something along the lines of "cigarette smoking guy and his cronies from the x-files or the old ass, esspresso sippin' mobb bosses who make all the final decisions." I know...I know...Consipacy theory...let a high man rant.
Bottom line...bad press is good press. The only kind of bad press...is NO PRESS. This is just a shady way...(pun intended) of promoting Benzino's magazine and both of their careers. Promotion= Magazine and Record Sales...END OF STORY!
You gotta hand it to them...The Industry...that is. Heed Q-tip's words...industry rule #4080...record company people are...what...that's right!!! SHADY! Didn't see that one comin' did you. That's like a fuckin' prophecy!
Q: Am I high as a fuckin' kite off some norther-cali outdoor?
A: YES I AM!!!
Maybe it's the weed talking...or maybe i'm right on the money! You decide...either way...i'm too baked to care! LOL!
Seriously though...has anybody else ever entertained this idea?
