“I don`t want to say that he said you have to say this, but basically he came to me and he was like this is the image I`m looking for on this song. I`m looking for a white kid from South Boston, who is Irish, who’s extremely pissed off, got a drug problem, doesn’t like authority figures and doesn’t like Black people. My inital reaction was I can’t say that because I live in the most cultured part of Boston,” The Bawston Strangla told sohh. Hmmm, white, pissed off, drug problem, doesn’t like authority…sound familiar?
Benzino signed Strangla to his Surrender Records in the late 90’s before dropping him out of nowhere in ’99. The white Boston emcee, who claims he has no hard feelings towards his former boss, used the ‘n’ word in a song with Benzino’s support. Stangla also offered the reason as to why Zino is after Em in the first place, saying that Zino tried to show Em love at an award show only to be snubbed cause Slim was pissed about his 4 mic rating.
“It became one of those things where Benzino just kept trying to lyrically beat him, battle him and it wasn`t working out so he just went for the next best thing,” he said. “It was kind of hypocritical because dog turned around and do the same thing to Eminem that he did to me.”
