Raymond Scott, better known by his stage name Benzino, is an American hip hop media executive and record producer. From 2012 until 2014, he has appeared on VH1 TV series Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.
Benzino was born in Boston, Massachusetts to a Cape Verdean mother and a Puerto Rican father. Along with his longtime friend, David Mays, Benzino is known for being a principal of the hip hop magazine The Source, which was launched in 1988 as a single-sheet newsletter out of Mays' Harvard University dorm room.
Benzino was a founding member of rap groups The Almighty RSO and Made Men, before finally becoming a solo artist. He has appeared on the reality television show Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, since 2012. He has also dated Karlie Redd and Althea Heart.
Benzino was shot in the shoulder and back on March 29, 2014 by his nephew Gai Scott; the shooting took place in the town of Duxbury, Massachusetts, at his mother's funeral. The wounds were not fatal.
Benzino is known for being involved, since 2002, in a widely publicized feud with rapper Eminem as Benzino called him "2003 Vanilla Ice". Since then the pair have been creating diss tracks about each other, including Benzino's "Pull Your Skirt Up" and "Die Another Day" or Eminem's "The Sauce" and "Nail in the Coffin". As a continuation of this animosity between the two, Benzino released a diss mixtape Benzino Presents: Die Another Day: Flawless Victory, disparaging Eminem and his record label.

Benzino stopped by VladTV to talk with us about how his nephew confessed to shooting him at his mother's funeral, how the code of the streets have changed since he was younger, his father's ties to the mafia and much more. Benzino let us know the trial hasn't happened yet in regards to his shooting, but he made it clear he never pointed out his nephew was the one who shot him, the only reason people found out is that his nephew confessed, but he still doesn't know who "shot him." Benzino and Vlad then got into a conversation about snitching. "If you sit there and say yea he shot me, and he gonna do 100 years, that's snitching on him... the reason why that code is so important is because when you're in the streets, and you're doing dirt you don't want people snitching on you..." Benzino ex...

BOSTON'S BENZINO AND THE UNTOUCHABLES And THE VIDEO UNTOUCHABLE
The last part of the video is from when Eminem was beefing with Benzino. I gotta lot of respect for 50, he's a great interviewee but going at Benzino and pushing Styles P's record back was a bit cruel. Benzino was the one who put him in a cab after the 2000 hit factory stabbing incident with Ja Rule and Murder Inc, and Styles P never hurt no one. 50 cent Benzino. Styles P. The Lox. Hip-hop. Rap beef. No more mumble rap. 1990-2010
Nail In The Coffin perfomed by Eminem, The track is a diss towarrds the artist Benzino, who also is owner of the rap magazine The Source. Eminem Lyrics Discography:

http://www.vladtv.com - In this exclusive interview with VladTV, Benzino vents his frustrations over Mona Scott-Young's recent red carpet interview with VladTV where she addressed his firing from the hit reality series Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. The Hip-Hop Weekly publisher says Young should be ashamed of herself for encouraging negativity on her show and for refusing to be honest enough to say why he and Althea were actually let go. She does say in the interview that she believes Benzino and his partner Althea are actually in love, are good people, and that she wishes them the best. This directly contradicts Stevie J's statement that the couple was kicked off because Zino threatened the cast and crew. Zino also feels that Mona makes up and manipulates storylines for the sake of the show, ...
http://www.vladtv.com - Boston group, The Almighty RSO, was somewhat similar to N.W.A. - and according to Benzino, Eazy-E noticed and wanted in on a piece of their action. In this exclusive, Benzino divulges some unknown information regarding him and The Almighty RSO in relation to Eazy. According to him, Eazy-E and RSO had a meeting at The Source offices back in 1994. It was then that Eazy offered them their first-ever album deal, and from that point on up until his death, they continued to work out legal deals before they could make things official - Benzino tells us the group was supposed to get up to $450,000 once they signed to Ruthless Records. The light on the deal began to dim as Eazy E was continuously admitted into the hospital, a bout Benzino thought was over bronchitis and pn...

http://www.vladtv.com - Benzino sat down with VladTV to address Crooked I's recent interview with us where the Long Beach emcee claimed to have been hoodwinked into attending the 2003 The Source press conference where Eminem was accused of being racist. The former Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star said that he didn't even realize the Slaughterhouse rapper was at the press conference, and he added that Crooked I must have shown up with The Source founder Dave Mays. The conversation then switched to Eminem's fan base, which Benzino believes doesn't support Crooked I and other Shady Records artists. When names like 50 Cent and D12 are brought up as examples, Benzino is quick to point out that those artists had hits with the label years ago, not today. Benzino then closed the segment by saying...
http://www.vladtv.com - Benzino sat down with VladTV for an exclusive interview during which he spoke about his past beefs with XXL and Eminem. When it comes to Marshall Mathers, Zino says that they made history with their intense beef, but he hopes to meet Em in person so they can laugh about the past. The Love & Hip Hop Atlanta star also opened up about his past beef with XXL and Elliot Wilson, and explains that Wilson apologized to him in front of the entire staff at XXL over their differences. Benzino said the situation was taken care of "real fast" after he personally walked over to Wilson's office. He also ties everything together by speaking about his documentary, "Arch Nemesis," but says he needs to follow up with a new documentary to tie in more recent events.

http://www.vladtv.com - Benzino spoke in great detail about his near-death experience of being shot twice at his mother's funeral not too long ago, in this clip from his exclusive interview with VladTV. The Love & Hip Hop star detailed the entire day's events leading up to the actual shooting, and never once did he state that it was his nephew who shot him. He claims that he suddenly heard shots go off while driving in his car towards his mother's funeral, but never actually saw the shooter. It took him nearly a full half-hour to get to the hospital, at which point he was fearful that he actually might die because his arm was bleeding profusely. Apparently his nephew phoned in to police and admitted to shooting Benzino out of self-defense. Benzino stated that if it comes down to test...

I bet cutie wanna freak
Don't matter if she on covers of Maxim or Jet "Beauty of the Week"
Give 'em wet cooties when I speak
I usually flash thousands worth of invisbly set jew-ies on a freak
It's likely I'm a take boo in the cut
Take her back to Spike Lee & have her doin' the butt, and I'm a mention
Just the way you shake it make my little soldier stand at attention
My hands gon' be inchin', cause I'm standin' there flinchin'
Tryin' to hold my hand back from pinchin'
But, ma I can't follow too long
Unless you look like a model who on, and swallow boo bons
I'm the kid in the XL Model Yukon
That get more numbers than a lotto coupon
Yo, F-A-B go scanty
Ma, you know how many I meet with no panties?
Boottee (*5 Times*)
I see boottee, I see boottee
[Verse 2: Benzino]
Benzino, if you can't stand the heat get the f**k out the kitchen
Chauffer driven limousines straight outta prison
In jewelery, man listen
Masterpiece was out to long I never wore presidentials
Still payin' for the shit Jacob lent you (Bootee)
Still waitin' for the check the label sent you (Bootee)
I'm still doin' things you can't imagine (Bootee)
That's there for blastin'
Bangin' on wax that's bootee
Face it Teddy banged tracks
Zino lace it
I like the chicks with the big fat ones
When you back that ass up all you feel is my gun
Hourglass ass you a mo'f**ker boo
So please believe it I'm leavin' with you
& if you want 3 I'm freakin' with you
Benzino smashed bootee more than a few
Ha, ha ha
Bootee (*4 Times*)
I see boottee, I see boottee
[Verse 3: G-Dep]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Aiyyo 8 classes, champagne glasses
V.I.P. passes lettin in all the asses
Got move fastest, cheek to cheek
Move from freak to freak, speak the greek
Shorty with the sleek physique, lots of stylin
The way you move I can tell you got some talent
Intelligent & she f**kin' with seniors
I need brains & you probably a genius
Bein' the Bad Boy you know I be
It's all ages you ain't gotta show ID
Too young as a man in China
So what if she can buy a gray goose with a loose vagina
Forget Azure's, I'll take her to court
Catch me on the dance floor tailgatin' a broad
I don't care is she ain't a cutie, ask fruity
When I see boottee, I see boottee
Bootee (*4 Times*)
I see boottee, I see boottee
[Outro]
Aiyyo my party people dance to this (boottee, boottee)
Party people dance to this (Feel me, feel me)
Repeat 3.5 Times
