Benzino (born Raymond Scott in 1964) is a rapper and former CEO and co-owner of The Source, a popular hip hop magazine in the United States. Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, Benzino met The Source founder Dave Mays while attending Harvard University. From 1988 to 2001, Benzino was a silent partner in the growth of the business. However, in 2001, Benzino acknowledged his involvement in the publication.
As a rapper, Benzino’s career has been relatively unsuccessful, compared to many of the artists featured in his magazine. Though known for his run-ins with the police, Benzino is most famous for his on-going feud with rapper Eminem, and more recently hip hop group Slaughterhouse.
Benzino’s impact on The Source
Benzino started his rap career with a group called the Almighty RSO. The group was known mainly for their anti-police song “One In The Chamba” from the Forever Doomsday album released through Tommy Boy Records. The single and album were considered controversial for the tone of the rap group and encouraging the murder of local law enforcement. In 1994 The Boston Police and the Fraternal Order of Police union had placed the group on high priority at the time forcing RSO to be dropped from the label. Benzino went on to record with rappers Antonio Twice Thou and Mr. Gzus, to form Made Men.

I contest that Benzino has a "very high similarity" to Eminem. I'm offended for Eminem's sake. Can anyone fix that?

Benzino is a fucking dickhead. He ruined the sources reputation. Who gives a fuck about there ratings anymore cos i certainly don't. The reason Marshall Mathers LP didnt get 5 mics was because Benzino didnt like Em and was jealous if his success, Its in the top 5 best hip-hop albums of all time easy. But what takes the biscuit? this fucking douchebag's piece of shit group that most people have never even heard of gets 4 and a half mics even though its a complete pile of crap! Hes a fucking twat that ruined one of the greatest music magazines of all time. Benzino can go fuck himself!!!!
