Benzino: No Neck And No Crosswalks! šŸš·šŸ¤”☠️

Imagine having no neck and the neck brace is literally near your mouth.

Too bad...

It's 2026, please do not be like him. Matter of fact, do not be like me.

I was expecting him to put his two cents into the 50 Cent and T.I. feud. Alas, he let that temper get the best of him again. He is showing out again. Embarrassing himself and his son.

And of course, Coi Leray.

Midway Wrap Up in May.

Raymond Scott was hospitalized after he claimed he was hit by the friend of his youngest son's mother. Althea Easton has full custody of her son. Scott is unemployed and is required to pay nearly $6,000 a month for his son. 

In Georgia, the court ruled that Scott is not the custodial parent. No matter what he tell you on social media, this fool cannot be allowed full custody due to his past incidents.

Scott likely got into a verbal argument as he usually does. He threatened to harm Althea and her friend Diamond, the lead rapper of Crime Mob.

He claimed Eaton 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.

Imagine you making a claim that your baby mama hit you with a car, you go run to Tasha K, get child protective services involved, accuse the baby mama of being abusive. Diamond and Althea warn Scott that if doesn't stop capping, they will pursue legal options.

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 Eaton's son.

"This is a father who is keeping a child from his mother," Eaton 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."
Diamond flat out denied Scott's version of what happened. She basically said that he was on his usual "I'm a street nigga shit." He was openly snitching claiming that his son was abused by his mother.

Diamond basically finds it strange that he would share a domestic dispute with a notorious media agitator like Tasha K to generate a bit sympathy.

She says that shit is weird. They both agree that Scott is playing in the snow.

He even threatened to sue Easton after she revealed claims he slept with R&B singer Bobby V. 

Bobby V and Scott have allegations of sleeping with men and transwomen. 

They flatly deny the allegations.

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 want 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. 

James had past away in Jan. 2026. I missed this. I will address this at the end.

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. 

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.

He can't be chasing any romantic partners under 50 anymore.

Be a father to his kids. Be a grandfather to his grandchildren.

Get that AARP card so he can get some of those damn discounts.

Go into the gym and do some flexing but no more for the camera.

Em literally put the nail in the coffin on Scott's rap career.

Scott has been jealous of his daughter Coi Leray generating more buzz in her career. 

Scott will react to 50 trolling him again.

Just to make this clear, Scott has tendencies to be bipolar, suicidal, violent and mentally unstable when he is under the influence of drugs and alcohol. So here the number for people dealing with mental illness and has suicidal tendencies.

I am certain that Scott will deny being bisexual. He will endlessly talk his days at The Source, him being a grandfather and his feud with Eminem for years to come. 

To this day, Scott blames Em, 50 Cent, Jimmy Iovine, Angie Martinez, Funkmaster Flex, Julia Beverly, Kim Osorio, Mr. Gzuz, Coi Leray,  Real World Police, Althea Easton, Stevie J, Joseline HernĆ”ndez, Mona Scott, NoLifeShaq, The Evolve, Crypt, Knox Hill, Steve Knight, JayBlac, DJ Vlad, Busta Rhymes, Russell Simmons, Quincy Jones III, DJ Mister Cee, Star, Angela Yee, Wendy Williams, Charleston White and even his old friend Dave Mays for his fucked up situations.

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 politiical 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 Benzino 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. 

Your behavior is a totally a prediction of being a stan or seriously mentally disturbed human being. You know I'm sayin'?

James Bernard Passed Away!

James Bernard, the co-founder of The Source passed away. He was doing a podcast with former editor and chief of The Source, media personality Julia Beverly.

James Bernard, a foundational figure in hip-hop journalism, a pioneering co-editor of The Source, and a co-founder of XXL, has been confirmed dead after being missing for more than 17 months.

According to Black Enterprise, his death was publicly acknowledged by peers in the music and media worlds, including Questlove, who shared a tribute acknowledging the loss and reflecting on Bernard’s lasting influence.

No cause of death has been disclosed.

Bernard was instrumental in shaping hip-hop journalism at a time when the culture was still dismissed or misunderstood by mainstream media. As a co-editor-in-chief at The Source during its formative years, he helped establish a critical framework that treated rap music as a serious art form worthy of deep analysis, debate, and historical context.

Under his editorial leadership, album reviews, artist profiles, and cultural commentary were approached with rigor rather than novelty. And it was under Bernard that the infamous "mic" ranking was introduced for rappers, ultimately entering the hip-hop zeitgeist as MCs gunned for the coveted "5 mic" co-sign on their albums.

Bernard’s pioneering work helped legitimize hip-hop journalism not just as a genre, but as a viable career path—particularly for Black and Brown writers who were often marginalized or tokenized elsewhere. The Source became a proving ground where writers could cover their own culture with authority, precision, and pride, setting standards that are still referenced today.

After leaving The Source over creative differences, Bernard co-founded XXL in 1997 with fellow editor Reginald Dennis. The publication quickly carved out its own lane, emphasizing long-form storytelling and expansive reporting that reflected hip-hop’s growing global reach.

XXL would later become known for platforms such as the Freshman List, further cementing its role in shaping conversations about emerging hip-hop talent.
