It's extremely impressive how many tangents Benzino goes on while telling a story and is still able to come back to the original story without being reminded. Lol how TF is he doing that?

Benzino downplays it, but The Source was truly the source in the 90’s, and the rating system hugely affected album sales! Especially if you look at it as teenagers being the main consumers. In the 90’s, we were buying FULL albums at $15.99 per CD/8.99 Tape. Two albums per month was a stretch, so we trusted the “Expert’s” ratings to buy one or two albums. Now I KNEW some ratings were BS, but for the most part, it was the source!

Remember being around 15 when I first saw the mighty RSO on video 📹 music box. Same time was introduced to Boston fellowship at Lake champion and Christian camp 🏕 in Glen spey NY. Met a bunch of Boston teens that were around my age which was 16. That's when I realized that Boston people were into the gang culture, Adidas, and were some of the toughest mfers that I ever met before. Started going to this camp 🏕 every major holiday weekend as well as the summer. Gained many friends till this day outta Boston. I'm from Newark,NJ. Met a bunch of brothers and sisters from Boston that help mold me and spoke highly of benzinoz influence in the city. Most of them said the same thing, dude was a real one. When I realized he was part of the source I was super proud to be affiliated with people that knew him.

I guess I had preconceived Ideas about him because of the media driven narrative at that time. I just think it's about time Zino gets his props. He's mature enough to admit when he was definitely out of pocket.. Not just because he has a talented daughter who happens to be a little hottie neither, lol 😊, Respectfully of course., Anyway I wish him all the best for the future. He's in the Hip Hop history books for sure. Great stuff Math and his team. That's why he cannot lose right now.

The contradicting part is that he gives a lot of credit for his growth in the business to some white people who he had great relationships with.
