In this episode, we go deep with Benzino as he unpacks everything from his rise with The Source magazine to his infamous feud with Eminem. Kicking off with his journey into simpler living (00:00:08), Benzino shares the hard-earned lessons he’s gathered from a life spent in the spotlight. As we shift gears, he clears up lingering Eminem rumors and weighs in on hip-hop’s biggest icons—Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, and Drake—while dissecting the ups and downs of hip-hop’s most cutthroat rivalries (02:10).
