Charlamagne thinks it was the most honest version of Benzino that exists.
Charlamagne tha God, Jess Hilarious and DJ Envy have recently discussed Benzino’s new emotional interview on Drink Champs with NORE and DJ EFN.
During Drink Champs interview, Benzino got drunk, got emotional and started crying: “I don’t have nothing against Eminem. He can rap but I care about us more. I don’t want to talk about it no more. For 22 years, every time I do interviews they ask me about Eminem. The fu-k you want me to do? C’mon man. My daughter came to industry figuring ‘I gotta be cool with Eminem because everybody is against my dad.’ You think this sh-t is fu-king cool? Nah man, we are failing as a people. I don’t hate Eminem. I don’t know him to hate. I don’t hate white people. I’m tired of this sh-t man. It’s too much.”
After Jess Hilarious played the audio for Charlamagne, he said: “I like when people get that drunk. That’s when alcohol gets your holiness soul, you just start spilling your gut and give your life to the Lord in that moment. I respect it.”
He then continued: “Whatever he said in that moment is what he means. So, he don’t hate white people and he don’t have a problem with Eminem like that. That’s it.” From there, DJ Envy added: “I feel Benzino. They play on Benzino’s name a lot. Let’s be honest. Benzino was one of the people who created The Source magazine which was an institution that helped so many different artists. They were doing so well.” Charlamagne added: “They always coming for his neck. You know what I mean. Salute to Benzino. And Salute to Drink Champs.”
