This is part 1 of a 2hr interview, I am posting the interview in shorter clips and to organize different subjects that we spoke about. I am a white man, the white references were a joke at this point because of another conversation we have during the whole interview about him being called a racist and him saying things like Eminem is a culture vulture... so before drawing conclusions that it is a "kiss a$$ interview" or I am trying to disrespect my own race watch the entire thing. Some of yall really need to chill out, interviews are made for entertainment, I am a fan of Eminem, Knox Hill, Harry Mack, Lil Dicky, Logic among many many other races of rappers. Relax. For the supporters thank you! I am trying out some different content on my channel and I love interviewing people especially people with reality TV backgrounds like myself.
Also that whole Cashis diss tracks, 2 of them to Benzino, after Benzino name drops Cashis in Rap Elvis "and where the hell's Cashis at though?" reminds me of a parallel to the Joe Frazier versus Mohammad Aly(formally Cassius Clay). After Mohammad Aly refused the conscription, they sent him to jail and the boxing industry stripped him off the heavy weight world title belt. Hearing of this, Joe Frazier came over, talked to him a bit, and then did what IMO is a good act of will: he paid off his bail, then funded part of his marketing campaign, and argued for his case towards the boxing industry committee to reinstate his title back so that he can fight him as contender for the world title. And what did Mohammad Aly do in return for this act of good will and honor? Nothing, no public admittance, and instead chose to belittle and trash talk Joe Frazier all the way until their title match, in which Joe Frazier won that first match and educated Mohammad Aly in not underestimating your opponent. I get that same vibe here between Benzino and Cashis, because between rappers and the rap culture, a shout out and a name drop, negative or positive, is an implicit way of showing thanks and sportsmanship like behavior, in fact Benzino did Cashis an implicit favor and honor for name dropping him even in a diss track to Eminem because Cashis was truly irrelevant for 15 plus years. So what did Cashis do back, to at least return the favor? Made 2 WHACK AF diss tracks trashing Benzino. I love it when history repeats itself in such poetry like this, makes us question what the hell are we as a fanbase are doing in Hip Hop culture?
Firstly thanks for that interview, it was actually decent! Don't mind the Eminem STANs that troll/hate on this whole situation, they made because Vulturius and especially Rap Elvis sounded really good. So triggered they pushing rumors and gossip he used ghost writers to discredit and disqualify a diss track, like chill Eminem ain't Floyd Mayweather he's human, he like everyone else in competition should take his Ls as much as he's taken most historical Ws. IMO it's nice Eminem's pen is getting challenged like this and hope he responds back, or if not then let Eminem take this L. Again great interview!
He dont know what a reactor is. He dont know what a double entendre is. He dont know that you can't win a beef by having someone write your disses. He dont know that cashis would lyrically destroy him. He dont know anything. Why is he still talking. I think it's time to tighten those nails...knox did his thing. He did it because the zeester aka bumzino threatened to copyright reactors. If you gonna report, report the truth.
It technically is Cliff Beat's battle, and Cliff Beat's right to diss track Benzino but Knox Hill did it instead kind of stole Cliff Beat's thunder a bit. Also there are a few moral implications, not within the Benzino diss track 'Clout Cobain' it's a nice diss track, but the moral implication is that Knox Hill stole the song title Clout Cobain from Denzel Curry's song title 'Clout Cobain', not choosing to give a shout out/credit to Denzel Curry for that title, in his video or description or a pinned comment, and Knox Hill just right away profiting from that title in his sportify. IMO that's immoral as hell to do to another rapper and artist, and Knox Hill has no way to argue or dodge that because he did cover Denzel Curry beforehand as a live streamer, so he should have known that Clout Cobain is Denzel's, and should have reached out for permission and at least gave a shout out and credit. IMO Benzino don't have to respond, because this beef is manufactured by Knox Hill for clout chasing, and he ripped off another artist in the process, that's a disqualification, exactly like how most disqualify Rap Elvis for maybe using ghost writers, well your track is disqualified for ripping off another title and not giving credit where it's due.
I am not a reactor and I wasnt super educated on the copyright strike thing that I see people talking about. I do not watch Cliffbeets just knox and shaq. Is it 100% proven that it was Benzino that contacted RUclips and filed a copyright strike because when I have gotten them in the past it normally just tells you a company name , I mean did it literally say Benzino? LOL that would be funny
@@TheTimMalcolm It's not 100% proven that Benzino himself issued that copyright claim firstly, then upgraded it to a copyright strike request against Cliff Beats. We can only speculate at most it's Benzino's company and Cassidy's company, but IMO to go so far to make a direct claim that it's specifically Benzino/Cassidy issuing them without concrete proof is bordering onto slander and defamation. How it started is firstly with Crypt's reactions to Vulturius and Rap Elvis, then he made a video trying to prove Benzino used a ghost writer. After that video we had reactors like Stevie Knight, No Life Shaq, VIBE REACTS, even Knox Hill, and especially Cliff Beats going along with this narrative of Benzino using ghost writers and Cliff Beats even again trying to prove that narrative. IMO IDC, the diss track sounded very nice and now it's on Eminem's court to respond or take the L like a man. So from that whole copyright drama, is where Knox Hill specifically chose to interject on behalf of Cliff Beats even though Cliff Beats was a rapper and industry ghost writer himself, supposedly as he got no evidence himself to verify he even is a ghost writer, but Knox Hill decided to interject and release a few videos about this situation for clout, then dropped a diss trak titled 'Clout Cobain' towards Benzino. Funny thing is, that title song is from another title song called 'Clout Cobain' owned by Denzel Curry, which Knox Hill in the past did a react and review. IDK why he didn't give credit and gave a shout out in the video, or description box or pinned comment to Denzel Curry, and just went forward to sell this diss track on streaming platforms, IMO very sketchy thing to do. If Eminem STANs want to disqualify Benzino's Rap Elvis because of ghost writer, then I am justified and some who are reasonable to disqualify Knox Hill's Clout Cobain diss track because he stole that title from Denzel Curry without permission, IMO. Here's some proof of that: ruclips.net/video/KYvQOeh0nEE/видео.html
@TheTimMalcolm if your gonna interview someone and talk shit about the people that are legitimately beefing with him. Then you should actually DO SOME FUCKING RESEARCH. it's absolutely lazy, and makes you look like an uneducated chump. All you mf out here spreading fake news and propaganda cause you don't know your ass from a hole in the wall. What a joke
lol not going to lie I sit around in pajama pants all day most days too.. especially since I work from home.. the gas station clerks near my house see a hot mess every time I come in! LMAO

I think that is a fair statement this interview once I edit the rest shows that I based it around everything else he has done rather than just the Eminem stuff, in fact I told him ahead of time that I didn't want to spend much if any time talking about Eminem because it has been covered enough. Regardless of whether or not he wrote his diss tracks he co-founded The Source, had his own album on Motown Records, has had several TV shows, and documentaries, and even produced on records like Nas... The point I wanted to make with this interview is that it is ok to be a Benzino fan for what he accomplished and his contributions to hip hop even if you do not like his music and you can STILL be an Eminem fan also.. you do not have to pick sides you can like them both. Thank you for the comment though!
The main issue I have about you bringing up Knox Hill here, is that he ripped off Denzel Curry's song title Clout Cobain, without permission, and titled his diss track to Benzino called 'Clout Cobain'. He never made any mention in that video, description box, or pinned comment giving credit to the title's origins, and the irony is that Knox Hill did cover Denzel Curry here: ruclips.net/video/6psjBchAsfA/видео.html Also more evidence of him clout chasing here: ruclips.net/video/KYvQOeh0nEE/видео.html&lc=UgywOROVC7XYyFokahZ4AaABAg.A05R7Zej3icA0AWXkz6ozZ He really should have gave some credit where it's due, and I feel like this is the biggest Achilles heel of that diss track, if only he gave credit....
I took it as he understands what a reactor is but he doesn’t understand what the appeal to the audience or fans is… which to a 59 year old man he might not get it or he might be full of poop, my parents don’t understand profesional video gamers or that you can make a million dollars a year off making videos of what you had for dinner and posting it on social media lol so let’s put a fair generational context on his assessment😂

@@danielnelson3136 thank you its just a clip of the interview but appreciate the words!
Nah man you did knox diry ,with the decent reactor thing . Benzino is damn clown man hes so back and forth is ridiculous.

man thats deep lol thats a very cool connection thanks for sharing.
We don't respect him because he didn't write it lmao 😊

Benzino is a clown
I respect that... just curious who are your top 5 rappers of all time?
5:49 - He's full of it. He definitely knows what a Reactor is. He reached out to Knox HIll for an interviewed but wanted to be paid. C'mon.
I took it as he understands what a reactor is but he doesn’t understand what the appeal to the audience or fans is… which to a 59 year old man he might not get it or he might be full of poop, my parents don’t understand profesional video gamers or that you can make a million dollars a year off making videos of what you had for dinner and posting it on social media lol so let’s put a fair generational context on his assessment😂
🫣👍🏿💪🏿
thank you for your support!
How much did you have to pay him for this one?
one million alpacas.
