Search - Benzino :: Benzino Project

Forget the beef, this is what hip hop needs more of.

"Ok, so I'll be the first to admit that Benzino shoulda kept quiet about Shady, but on giving this album a listen, I gotta say that this is a damn good CD. What hip hop has been missing since Pac left us is what 'Zino tries to bring back. Sure, he's not exactly a great lyricist, but production is tight, the album gets high points on production, and the guest list of M.C.'s and singers is top notch. "Feel Yo Pain" featuring the Outlaws is probably the high point of the CD, and features some of Benzino's best rhymes. Hip Hop is sorely lacking albums that have more than a couple of songs worth hearing, but "The Benzino Project" is full of songs you will listen to again and again. Hell, unbelievable as it seems, even P. Diddy rips it on the second track. I highly recommend this CD as opposed to 'Zino's second album, which suffered from the sophomore curse of hip hop. THIS IS TRUE HIP HOP! We need more albums of this caliber- its the only thing that can save rap music."

Give Bezino some respect

"This album isn't bad for his first solo release! Most people are hating it lately cause he beefed with Eminem! Also most people sleep on Benzino's production skills. He made almost all the beats on this album! Sure his rhyme aren't the most complex but it gets the job done, there are so many worst rappers then him! Standout songs Bang ta dis, Feel your Pain, Any Questions(My favorate track), No Parts of us, Figadoh(my second favorate), The Jump up and boottee(Nobody can front on this club banger)! I would rather pick The Benzino Remix Project over this, cause it has all these songs except it has the bang ta dis remix featuring prodigy and bars n hooks, the boottee remix featuring Fabolous and G-Dep, and the Figadoh remix featuring Busta and M.O.P.!All and all a good album, not great but far from horrible! His new album Redemption is much better! I'd cop that before getting any other Benzino album!"

FIGADOH!!!
