Cash call on Kash Patel. The Iranians are hoping to leak Susie Wiles, Pete Hegseth, Vice President JD Vance and Karoline Leavitt soon.
Iran has waited for years. They knew the Israelis would find a stooge to engage in this unnecessary aggression. President Donald J. Trump has become the face of The United States of America as it heads into decline.
Iran-linked hackers have broken into FBI Director Kash Patel's personal email inbox, publishing photographs of the director and other documents to the internet, the hackers and the bureau said on Friday.
On their website, the hacker group Handala Hack Team said Patel "will now find his name among the list of successfully hacked victims." The hackers published a series of personal photographs of Patel sniffing and smoking cigars, riding in an antique convertible, and making a face while taking a picture of himself in the mirror with a large bottle of rum.
The FBI confirmed Patel's emails had been targeted. In a statement, bureau spokesman Ben Williamson said, "we have taken all necessary steps to mitigate potential risks associated with this activity" and that the data involved was "historical in nature and involves no government information."
Handala, which presents itself as a group of pro-Palestinian vigilante hackers, is considered by Western researchers to be one of several personas used by Iranian government cyberintelligence units. Handala recently claimed the hack of Michigan-based medical devices and services provider Stryker on March 11, saying they had deleted a massive trove of company data.
Handala did not return messages. Reuters could not access its website late on Friday.
Alongside the photographs of Patel, the hackers published a sample of more than 300 emails, which appear to show a mix of personal and work correspondence dating between 2010 and 2019.
Reuters was not able to independently authenticate the Patel messages, but the personal Gmail address that Handala claims to have broken into matches the address linked to Patel in previous data breaches preserved by the dark web intelligence firm District 4 Labs. Alphabet -owned Google, which runs Gmail, did not respond to a request for comment.
'MAKE THEM FEEL VULNERABLE'
Iran-linked hackers - who initially kept a low profile after the United States and Israel launched coordinated strikes against the Islamic Republic last month - have increasingly boasted of their cyber operations as the conflict drags on.
In addition to the hack against Stryker, Handala on Thursday claimed to have published the personal data of dozens of defense company Lockheed Martin employees stationed in the Middle East. In a statement, Lockheed Martin said it was aware of the reports and had policies and procedures in place "to mitigate cyber threats to our business."
Gil Messing, chief of staff at Israeli cybersecurity company Check Point, said the hack-and-leak operation against Patel was part of Iran's strategy to embarrass U.S. officials and "make them feel vulnerable."
The Iranians, he said, are "firing whatever they have."
It is not unusual for foreign hackers to target senior officials' personal emails, and breaches and leaks both happen periodically. Hackers famously broke into Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's personal Gmail account ahead of the 2016 election and published much of the data to the WikiLeaks site. In 2015, teenage hackers broke into then-CIA director John Brennan's personal AOL account and leaked data about U.S. intelligence officials.
Relatively unsophisticated breaches of this nature are in line with a U.S. intelligence assessment reviewed by Reuters on March 2. The assessment said Iran and its proxies could respond to the killing of Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei with low-level hacks against U.S. digital networks.
Iran-linked hackers may have other emails in reserve.
Last year, another group operating under the pseudonym "Robert" told Reuters it was considering disclosing 100 gigabytes of data stolen from White House chief of staff Susie Wiles and other figures close to the president.
Besides dating Vanessa Trump, you have a history of adultery, sex addiction, cocaine and alcoholism. Man, kids looked up to you dude. What the fuck has happened to you?
I mean he is free to do whatever the hell he wants as an American. However, the issues that lead to this latest incident have the folks finally acknowledging the obvious...
Tiger Woods is an alcoholic and it had lead to his chaotic life.
He was once again involved in a serious car accident in Florida. The last time was a serious accident which led to him having surgery to repair his hip in 2021. Woods last public arrest was in 2017.
Woods was arrested Friday on suspicion of driving under the influence after his Land Rover traveling at “high speed” on a residential road clipped a truck and rolled onto its side.
Martin County Sheriff John Budensiek said Woods was able to crawl out of passenger side and was not injured.
Last Par.
“He did exemplify signs of an impairment,” Budensiek said, adding that investigators believe he had taken “some type of medication or drug.” He said Woods agreed to a Breathalyzer test that showed no signs of alcohol, but refused a urine test and was arrested.
Under Florida law, he would have to spend eight hours in jail before he could post bail.
Budensiek said the sheriff’s office will follow the law regardless of who has been accused of a crime. He said Woods was being held in jail but separate from others.
“He’s not going to be with other inmates that could hurt him or try to capitalize on what he did,” he said. “He’ll pay the price, but he’s not going to pay the price by getting punished in jail.”
It was the second time Woods has been arrested for a DUI not as a result of the influence of alcohol. He said he took a bad mix of painkillers when authorities found him in 2017 asleep behind the wheel of his car, the engine still running and its driver’s side damaged. Woods pleaded guilty then to reckless driving.
President Donald J. Trump, whose former daughter-in-law is dating Tiger Woods, was asked about the golfer when he landed in Miami on Friday afternoon for an investment summit.
“I feel so badly. He’s got some difficulty,” Trump said. “Very close friend of mine. He’s an amazing person. Amazing man. But, some difficulty.”
Vanessa Trump divorced her drunk cheating coke head husband Donald, Jr. for Tiger Woods, another drunk cheating coke head.
The crash occurred just before 2 p.m. not far from where Woods lives on Jupiter Island.
Budensiek said Woods attempted to pass a pressure cleaner truck while driving on a two-lane road with a 30 mph (48 kph) speed limit. He said authorities could not determine how fast Woods was going.
The Land Rover swerved to avoid a collision as he was passing the truck but clipped the back end of the truck’s trailer, Budensiek said. Woods’ car then rolled onto its driver’s side.
The sheriff said Woods was “cooperative, but he’s not trying to incriminate himself.” He said Woods has the right to refuse the urine test and that authorities “will never get definitive results with what he was impaired on.”
Woods’ manager at Excel Sports did not immediately respond to a text message seeking comment.
This was the fourth time Woods has been involved in a car crash, most recently in February 2021 when his SUV ran off a coastal road in Los Angeles at a high rate of speed, leading to multiple leg and ankle injuries. Woods said later doctors considered amputation. He also previously sustained multiple injuries to his left knee and his back during his golf career.
Woods returned from multiple back surgeries to win the 2019 Masters for his 15th major. His 82 titles on the PGA Tour is tied for the career record with Sam Snead. Since that LA crash, he has played 11 tournaments without being closer than 16 shots to the winner the four times he was able to finish 72 holes.
Trump is good friends with Tiger Woods and Jack Nickolus.
Friday’s arrest comes as Woods was trying to decide if he was fit enough to play the Masters, which starts April 9. He also was to be in Augusta, Georgia, on April 5 to unveil a golf course project with Masters chairman Fred Ridley.
Woods also was days away from what was described as a “soft deadline” to decide whether to be the U.S. Ryder Cup captain for the 2027 matches in Ireland.
Woods, 50, had been working his way back to golf from a seventh back surgery in September.
His last official tournament was the British Open in 2024. Woods ruptured his Achilles tendon in March 2025 and that kept him off the course all season even before the back surgery. He managed to play in his indoor TGL golf league on Tuesday night.
He has remained deeply involved in PGA Tour affairs as chair of the Future Competition Committee that is restructuring the model of the tour.
Faced with a strong primary challenger, Rep. Sam Graves (R-MO) decides to announce his retirement.
The Republicans know that the shitshow we come to realize President Donald J. Trump led the country into is not going to benefit Republicans in the long term.
The second term curse came early. It came when Trump decided to play a King in a country that is tired of the status quo. Former president Joe Biden faced the wrath when he failed to save the soul of the nation. He led us into chaos through his support for genocide through his support of Israel, his determination to work with Republicans, his decision to allow Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema and John Fetterman fuck up the agenda.
Former vice president Kamala Harris was lockstep despite her reservations.
They lost and we got chaos in a second Trump presidency.
Graves was a valiant supporter of this.
Graves, 62, has represented Missouri’s 6th District since 2001 and is now among a growing number of House members stepping aside ahead of the 2026 midterms.
“I think it is time for me to step down,” Graves told the Journal’s Olivia Beavers. “I filed for re-election, and I was still kind of evaluating…my next chapter in life, and what that might look like.”
The move confirms weeks of rumors that Graves planned to bow out of the race before candidate filing closes on March 31. It also sets off a possible mad dash of candidates eyeing a run for the safe-GOP district that spans the northern half of the state.
On Thursday, before the news of Graves’ departure was official, Republican state Rep. Mazzie Christenson of Bethany confirmed she is seriously considering entering the race.
Christenson won her House seat in 2022 by toppling an incumbent Republican in the primary. And she brings bona fide Trump credentials to the campaign: before the legislature, she worked in the Trump White House and served as a war room analyst for Trump’s 2020 campaign.
Lobbying or a role in the Trump Administration. Sam Graves could be replacing Sean Duffy soon as Transportation Secretary.
That matters because if Graves steps aside, this primary may not just be a local fight over who inherits a safe Republican seat. It could become a proxy war between Trumpworld and Jeff Roe’s political universe.
Roe founded Axiom Strategies, the Kansas City-based consulting powerhouse that has long shaped Missouri Republican politics. But after Roe’s work with Ron DeSantis’ 2024 super PAC, Trump mocked him publicly and Trump aides later warned House Republicans against hiring Roe.
The other name making the rounds is Nathan Willett, a Kansas City councilman who is already running for an open state Senate seat in Platte and Buchanan counties.
He’s a former high school math teacher, a third-generation Northlander and a Republican with a base on the southern edge of the district. He’s also proven he can raise money. Last year, a PAC supporting his run for state Senate got a $100,000 boost from Herzog Contracting Corp.
That’s significant because while Roe’s consulting firm is one of the power centers in the Graves machine, Herzog is the cash engine that has helped give northwest Missouri Republican politics its financial muscle for years.
Jim Ingram, a veteran and retired business owner from Kansas City, already filed to challenge Graves in the primary. He told Fox4 in Kansas City that a Graves retirement would likely mean more candidates in the race. There are also three Democrats filed to run: Josh Smead of Liberty and Scot Pondelick and Matt Levine, both of Kansas City.
For years, rumors that Graves was ready to step aside surfaced almost on cue, and every time he wound up back on the ballot. This time, though, the chatter landed against a different backdrop.
If Democrats take the House this fall, Graves would be headed back to the minority. And even if Republicans hold on, his grip on the Transportation Committee gavel was in doubt. House GOP rules generally cap committee leaders at six years, and Graves needed a waiver in late 2024 to stay on as chairman.
Dayton continues to have suburban assholes tagging the city.
You see it on buildings, trash cans, street signs, street poles, billboards, abandoned properties, on sidewalks, on overpasses, bridges, underpasses, on freeways and noise walls.
It happens in every part of the United States and many other countries.
Some call it art while others call it vandalism.
Many see it as an expression of free speech. Others see it as violation and a degradation of the community.
It is called graffiti or tagging.
Usually taggers would spray paint over properties with a unique calling card and go throughout a city and suburbs lacing the tags.
I have discussed this on this blog. I often have frustrations with seeing it when it comes from white suburban people doing it in rust belt cities such as Dayton, Ohio.
But it's gotten worse in Cincinnati, Columbus and Toledo. Whereas Columbus and Cincinnati are growing in population, the remaining cities are declining.
Cleveland, Toledo, Akron, Dayton, Canton and Youngstown are rapidly declining.
Cities are resorting to police state tactics to curb vices, tagging and theft.
Flock cameras are often used to detect vehicles license plates. It keeps a registery for a jurisdiction to look into to determine whether crimes are being committed.
They are installing cameras in neighborhoods to monitor drug trafficking, street takeovers, prostitution, illegal dumping and homeless encampments.
They are pushing for traffic cameras to regulate freeway speed, red light running, school bus passing, school speed reductions and toll evasion.
They are putting cameras in parking lots to deter shoplifting, vandalism, panhandlers and extremism.
It is a part of America that some notice and other ignore.
The Kia Challenge is still an ongoing issue. Yeah, the Kia Challenge which Republicans exploited in their neverending hypocrisy when it comes to law and order.
The Rust Belt is still the same area as it was.
The Rust Belt is a region in the northeastern and midwestern United States that experienced significant industrial decline and job losses in the late 20th century, particularly in manufacturing, steel, and coal industries.
Dayton is one of the most controversial Rust Belt cities. It is still in relics of segregation. Most big box retailers are not in the city.
Well, the graffiti issue has gotten worse. Former mayor of Dayton, Jeff Mims and police chief Kamran Afzal have threatened to get tough on taggers.
There are three known taggers who have spread their tags in not only Dayton but the suburbs of Vandalia, Moraine, Harrison Township, Jefferson Township, Butler Township, Trotwood, Riverside and Kettering.
It has spread into Franklin, Carlisle, Miamisburg, Centerville, Huber Heights and Englewood.
On North Main Street (Ohio State Route 48), five taggers has over 200 properties with their signature tags. One was caught last year and was ordered to repaint the properties he has tagged.
He and two of his allies continue to do it regardless. They don't believe they'll face serious repercussions for their actions.
The other tagger has 50 throughout the community.
Well ICE isn't loved in the DYT.
Tagging has plagued downtown as well and it has frustrated city leaders.
Shenise Sloss-Turner, the new mayor is three months in and her job approval is tanking.
Cargill is closing.
Dayton Police have shot a man on a bicycle after a scuffle and he died. The cops are trying justify the shooting and the junk food media shows his mugshot on television.
The suspect had mental health issues and had allegedly a firearm. Again, Ohio does not have laws preventing mental ill people from obtaining firearms. In fact, they allow anyone with no major criminal history to obtain firearms.
Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) and Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH) are ineffective. They are fully backing President Donald J. Trump's aggression in Iran. They have backed the repeal of the Affordable Care Act. They vowed to support the Trump administration in mass deportation and eliminations of DEI programs.
Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH) represents Dayton, Xenia and Springfield. Rep. Mike Carey (R-OH) represents Columbus along with some the suburbs of these cities that Turner doesn't.
Republicans have a supermajority in Ohio. They control the statehouse, the state supreme court and the governor's seat.
So far, Ohio has gained on 1.2% in population while losing 5% of the general.
That's in part of the illegal gerrymandered congressional district map that went against the voters. The voters rejected an independent committee to redraw the congressional maps.
So if I was a tagger, I would use that energy to make the community better. I would do a mural like the young woman who made one over the old Norfolk Southern tressel which Dayton is trying to convert to a lighted trail.
Norfolk Southern want $8 million for the abandoned six miles of track.
Anyway, your thoughts on the tagging... is it art or vandalism?
Going to CPAC is not cheap. Most Americans are concerned with the economy. These far right elitists are back on their bullshit grievances. They have control of the federal government and yet they're still blaming the left for the chaos they created.
The Conservative Political Action Conference is an annual gathering of America and some of the world's biggest assholes. They have nothing better to do with their lives other than convince dumb ass Americans to believe the elite will save them and the vulnerable will harm them.
Most of the people showing up are rich, powerful and always in the ear of a Republican politician or president.
With a damn war going on and so much chaos in the United States, one would think the President of the United States and members of Congress would skip this event...
Well, several of the Trump Administration will make an appearance in Grapevine, Texas.
U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Health and Human Services secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Agriculture secretary Brooke Rollins, Education secretary Linda McMahon, Housing and Urban Development secretary Scott Turner, Medicare and Medicaid Services Dr. Mehmet Oz, FCC chair Brendan Carr, Reps. Keith Self (R-TX), Chip Roy (R-TX), Kevin Hern (R-OK), Mike Collins (R-GA), Kat Cammack (R-FL), Beth Van Duyne (R-TX), Brandon Gill (R-TX), Tim Burchett (R-TN), Ronny Jackson (R-TX), Sens. Rick Scott (R-FL), Ted Cruz (R-TX) and several more lawmakers not listed are expected.
On Saturday or Sunday, expect either President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance to make an appearance. They always love the attention, especially Trump.
Also appearing is the son of the ousted shah of Iran. Reza Pahlavi is the Crown Prince of Iran and currently serves as the preeminent transitional leader of the Iranian opposition following the decisive military action by Israel and the United States and the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
The U.S. and Israel are trying to put this puppet in power.
The chairman of the Conservative Political Action Conference (who faces allegations of sexually abusing men) said he plans to use its annual gathering this week to rein in Republican infighting, warning that divisions could hurt the party in November's midterm elections.
Kicking off on Thursday just outside Dallas, the CPAC conference comes at a moment of growing voter unease over U.S. strikes on Iran, a spike in gas prices tied to the conflict, and broader inflationary pressures - all exacerbating cracks within Trump's Make America Great Again movement.
Some of the biggest voices in MAGA have broken with Trump over the Iran conflict, saying it is a break from his 2024 campaign promise to end the U.S. involvement in "forever wars," as well as his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
"If some of the luminaries of MAGA are all at each other's throats in a kind of continued disunity, I think that could be devastating in the midterm elections," CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp told Reuters in an interview.
"The question is: can we pull together to get the right guys elected and hold on to the majorities? That's one of the intents of this conference."
Republicans will be defending slim majorities in the Senate and the House of Representatives in November, a challenge compounded by the historical pattern of the president's party underperforming in midterms.
Sometimes referred to as the "Woodstock An elitist event for conservatives," CPAC has for decades been a central gathering for Republican politicians and activists and presidential hopefuls. Trump's rise in 2016 reshaped the event, however, shifting its tone and purpose toward a more populist, personality-driven platform.
Trump is not scheduled to attend this year's CPAC, which runs through Saturday, skipping it for the first time in a decade, as he grapples with the fallout of a war the U.S. and Israel launched against Iran nearly four weeks ago.
Trump's approval rating fell in recent days to 36%, its lowest point since he returned to the White House, hit by a surge in fuel prices and widespread disapproval of the Iran war, a four-day Reuters/Ipsos poll completed on Monday found.
While Trump is considering skipping CPAC, his administration, several lawmakers and notable will be there. Former Trump adviser and podcaster Steve Bannon; and online influencer Nick Shirley, whose cellphone videos in December purporting to expose fraud at Minnesota day care centers thrust him into the spotlight.
Poland’s nationalist president, Karol Nawrocki, and Brazilian Senator Flavio Bolsonaro - who is challenging President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in this year's election - are also scheduled to speak, highlighting CPAC’s continued push to expand globally.
This year's theme, “action over words,” reflects a concerted effort by CPAC to give a platform to speakers taking concrete steps to elect Republicans or advance conservative causes, rather than simply offering commentary online, Schlapp said.
Missing from the list of speakers at CPAC is anyone likely to criticize Trump outright, underscoring how tightly the party remains under Trump's sway, said John K. White, professor emeritus at The Catholic University of America.
"It seems to me that they are engaged in a kind of politics of comfort," White said. "They're isolating themselves in a way that prevents the party, in a lot of ways, from moving forward to being a majority party in the country."
CPAC will hold a straw poll for the 2028 presidential race on Saturday. Last year in Oxon Hill, Maryland, Vance led with 61% of the vote, followed by Bannon at 12% and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis at 7%. Secretary of State Marco Rubio captured just 3%, but has risen in prominence in Trump's second term.
Raymond Scott cannot exist without Eminem and 50 Cent.
Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson rather address T.I., Rick Ross, Jay-Z, Young Buck, The Game, Ja Rule, Jim Jones, Pappose, King Harris, Domani Harris, Sean "Puffy" Combs and Fabulous.
They got money and a large fan base.
Listening to Raymond Scott, a 60 year old former rapper and media personality jump into the booth to rap like he one of these YNs is truly sad.
Scott has some fans but most people never of the dude.
I mean he is a walking fire sale of scandalous shit.
Just think about how he was in underwear trying to stab himself when he ex-girlfriend was concerned about him having these engagements with women, transwomen and men.
Althea Easton said he was breaking Bobby V's back.
I mean 50 could post on Instagram an image of him and automatically people will notice he has no neck. They are going to look at him as a grandfather who long past his time as a rapper.
For a one hit wonder, Scott sure loves to be the center of attention knowing he has no other source of revenue but an occasional appearance on podcasts.
I got my issues with 50, but Scott is beating a horse dead. His career was destroyed by Eminem. One of the greatest rappers of all time, Mr. Marshall Bruce Mathers III rarely addresses him but when he does, expect fireworks from Scott.
Scott has expressed frustration that Em did not directly mention him on the 2024 album The Death of Slim Shady, despite Scott's multiple recent diss tracks. He has also publicly criticized Dr. Dre for calling Eminem the "best MC ever," viewing it as an insult to other rap legends like Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg. While Scott once apologized for the beef in 2012, he has since backtracked, stating his current stance is "still fuck Eminem".
Em said it best, "Why give them attention?" He doesn't want them to catch coins. He wants to leave the steaming in their filth. Scott is neck (uh, no neck) deep in the filth.
Scott better focus on getting his family back together. Cause word on the street, Coi LeRay and his half sister are greenlighting 50 to take him down.
Scott released three diss songs aimed at 50.
50 has not responded to any of them.
Scott is the father of Young Chavo, a regional rapper formerly known as Ray Ray.
Scott is the father of Coi LeRay, a major rapper, singer, model, media personality and podcaster.
Scott was the former co owner of The Source Magazine and Hip-Hop Weekly.
He had a brief stints on Love and Hip-Hop, Iyana: Fix My Life and Marriage Boot Camp.
He only released three albums as a solo artist. His albums The Benzino Project (also repackaged as The Benzino Remix Project), Redemption and The Archnemsis are no longer in distribution. You have to obtain them through eBay or Amazon.
Last month Scott claimed that Althea and rapper Diamond tried to hit him with a car.
This happened when Althea and Diamond came with an escort of police to do a well fare check on Zino. Apparently, Scott got upset when the police were present and he went into his usual "I'm from the streets" and "You stupid bitch" mantra.
He tried to reach into the vehicle as Zino and his mother were in the car and I guess the windows rolled up and hurt him.
He would soon head to the Grady Medical in Atlanta. He posted an image of himself in a neck brace laying down. People quickly mocked him for having such a large medical device over his head. He is routinely mocked for having no neck.
He claimed Easton snatched their young son, Zino, after he got off the school bus, put him in her car, and drove away. He was allegedly side-swiped by the vehicle and fell to the ground. Police officers, who were present at the time of the incident, called an ambulance and sent him to the hospital.
Scott said he hit his arm and head on the car. He also has a lot of pain in his back. In photos that were posted to social media, you can see the "Rock The Party" rapper in a neck brace while lying on a stretcher. Althea and Diamond were pulled over by police soon after they drove off. Cops were able to retrieve young Zino and returned him to his father.
Despite the allegations Scott made, his ex and the Crime Mob rapper are telling a different story. In a video she posted on Instagram, Diamond claimed they brought the police to the bus stop to conduct a wellness check on Easton's son.
"This is a father who is keeping a child from his mother," Easton told TMZ. "He’s trying to make a mockery of this situation, but this is my livelihood. I haven't seen my son in months, so I wanted to do a wellness check to lay eyes on my child."
Anyway, he appeared on Tasha K to disparage Althea and Diamond and claim that the women are mentally ill. He was openly snitching claiming that his son was abused by his mother. He also threaten to sue Althea for defamation after she revealed that he had sexual trysts with transwomen and Bobby V, a known R&B singer who has allegations of gay affairs.
Why bother? 50 buried Raymond Scott. He might have to beat a horse dead.
Scott decided to throw his two cents into the 50 Cent and T.I. feud. It prompt 50 to repost that image of Scott in the media bed with that neck brace to intentionally mock him for having no neck.Scott retaliates by getting a shirt of 50's mom which T.I.'s sons King and Domani are selling online. 50 sparked a feud with T.I. by mocking Tameka "Tiny" Cottle-Harris. Tiny is T.I.'s wife and the mother of King and Domani.
Now weeks later, video reveals Scott being his usual self as Althea regained custody of Zino.
At 60 years old, one would think Scott would just settle down from the microphone, camera and television. Not seeing he is no longer a rapper, Scott continues to act like he is one of these YN's.
He started rapping in 1987, that would be a grandfather year for some who never heard of him. He can't try to be the cool guy when he barely can do anything but scream at the clouds.
Nah, I am not trying to reign on his parade. He is a grown ass man. He is free to act how he wants to in public or in private.
No one cares whether he is riding with that community or not. No one cares about his neverend feud with Eminem or 50 Cent. People are on the internet not in the bookstores reading The Source or Hip-Hop Weekly.
Retire the noise, Raymond Scott.
He ain't palling around them white guys. See Dave Mays and Jonathan Scheter were the brains and co-founders of The Source. Two white..... Jewish guys who went to Harvard and were listening to hip-hop on a local college station. They came together with James Benard and Ed Young.
The Source was founded in Boston but ended up moving to New York where it grew to be one of the biggest hip-hop magazines of the 1990s.
Nonetheless, Scott managed to get in after Mays saw him performing at a local bar.
Mays thought it be a good idea to create a group from Boston involving Scott and four of his closest associates. They were known as the Almighty RSO. The group tried to be like Public Enemy meets Run DMC with Native Tongues and NWA inspiration. They didn't do well.
Scott kept pushing for better promotion. Mays was strong armed into it. When The Source did their music ratings which they labeled the "Five Mic" counsel, Mays pushed through ratings that didn't appeal to the reviewers. It led to Scheter, Bernard and Young leaving.
They took over 40 staffers with them.
Mays continues on and Scott ended up being the co-owner (despite having no experience in the media).
Scott would create another group called Made Men. Scott would end up pushing the group among his ventures and sub groups. It ended up being a costly expense.
Scott was inching for a feud. He was snubbed by Em after Scott pushed for a lower rating of his critically acclaimed The Marshal Matthers LP.
Em ignored Scott and eased up a small tap saying "Five mics in The Source, ain't holdin my fucking breathe..."
It set off the battle. Scott who went under the name of Benzino launched a series of disses on him. He named dropped Em's daughter which triggered the rapper to go all in.
He started a feud with Em to promote his album in 2002. Scott accused Em of being a "culture vulture" and a "Rap Elvis." Eminem is white and probably the most successful rappers because of his rhyming skills, not his race. Em released two devastating disses at Scott and ruined his rap career.
Scott in turn, used The Source Magazine as a weapon to trash Em. He tried to brand Em a racist after he made a demo tape dissing a Black woman. The song was blocked by Em and Scott ignored the injunction and released the single in full. Em sued the magazine and its founder Dave Mays, a white business executive and Scott's rap manager at the time. The Source ended up wasting all its money and going into bankruptcy. The magazine executives fired Mays and Scott after the feud. Mays ended up doing other ventures and Scott ended up going broke. Mays helped Scott get on reality television with Stevie J. He ended up ruining that and as of today, Scott has struggled.
Nobody wants to hear their grandfather rap.
Scott who still goes by the name of Benzino has no chance of ever regaining the glory of his yesteryear.
He is pretty much toast.
He might as well settle down with an older woman (or whomever he chooses outside of that) who is in his age bracket.

What would be the best nickname for Raymond "Benzino" Scott?
Scott keeps saying that no one in the hood plays Eminem's music. Yet, he doesn't consider his music or even rivals Eminem defeated is played in the hood.
Scott said Em's music is trailer trash and most of his fans voted for Donald J. Trump. Eminem despises Trump and endorsed Kamala Harris for president. He normally doesn't get political but he hates politicians who target his music.
Eminem has dissed Candace Owens, Bill O'Reilly, C. Delores Tucker, Tipper Gore, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, Dick Cheney, Ron DeSantis, Vivek Ramaswamy and Majorie Taylor Greene.
He said thinks Em rhymes "masturbater in the elevator" whenever he's on the mic.
While Em does say controversial things, most of his lyrics are mostly double entredre. It usually flies over Scott's head. If Em was being subliminal, Scott would be spared the wrath.
Scott aimed at Em's family (daughter and grandson). Eminem responded in due time. He personally goes after rap rivals who still don't understand why he is considered one of the greatest rappers of all time.
Tell me:
Has anyone in the hood ever heard of a Raymond Scott song (other than the most recent disses)?
Or perhaps has anyone ever played any of Benzino's music?
Let me make this clear. If you believe your street credibility leads to you being arrested, financially struggling, estranged from your family, constantly angry at people, always trying win favor for unruly behavior; it's not the streets, it's you.
Raymond Scott, please get some mental health treatment. Try to repair the broken relationship with Coi, Chavo, Taj and Zino. Stop capping. Act your fucking age. Stop obsessing with Eminem.
Matter of fact, keep going. You want the attention. I mean you're over 60 years old, there still some money in being an old clout chaser.
Your behavior is a totally a prediction of being a stan or seriously mentally disturbed human being. You know I'm sayin'?
