Dont Waste Your MoneY!
Benzino is by far one of the worst rappers EVER! i aint even gonna speak on the album that much, i bought this album in frustrations.. and i thought it was sad for this guy to get so much disrespect from the media, the whole Shady/aftermath/g-unit beef.. people said he was bad, i had to clear this up.. cause he could'n be THAT bad.. when i listened, he was even worse than i expected... this dude has no talent what so ever...!!! thank god for Eminem ending his career!!

The Benzino Remix Project by Benzino
From Almighty RSO to Made Man to solo artist, no matter what direction in rap Ray Scott aka Ray Benzino has went in he has always seemed to come up short. He leveraged his power at "The Source" magazine to promote and try to create a buzz for Made Men. This Boston native could have adverted any doubts of him by showing the world his skills. He dropped his first solo album, "The Benzino Project" which wasn't commercially accepted but he didn't stop. Following the popular string of Remix albums Benzino decided to drop a Remix album to The Benzino Project titled "The Benzino Remix Project". With help from some well known East Coast artists such as: Busta Rhymes, M.O.P., P Diddy, G Dep, Prodigy from Mobb Deep, and the production of his Hangman 3 maybe Benzino could get over the hump and earn some respect in the game. <

>The album begins with a nice produced intro "617" which has Benzino talking over singing. The lead song "Who's Benzino" features P. Diddy and it's basically about who is Benzino and we all know who Benzino is by now. Today his mark of fame is being co-owner of The Source Magazine. He reminds us of his ownership by blatantly yells "F*** 5 Mics mutha***er I'm The Source" on the last verse of the song. The beat isn't striking but it can have your head nodding. "Bang Ta Dis" which was on his previous album really doesn't need much of an explanation but he does spit some lyrics that make you have a chuckle "Check a n*** history better ask around raps greatest mystery." With lines like that it is almost intriguing to keep on listening to see what Benzino will say next. After skipping through a few lackluster tracks "Figadoh (Remix)" which features New York's livest Bustah Rhymes and M.O.P. is the first vigorous track that makes you nod your head. The liveliness of Busta Rhymes & M.O.P. saves the track from collapse. The "Bang Ta Dis Remix" features Prodigy from Mobb Deep and it really isn't any different from its original version apart from Prodigy and a mediocre verse. "Nobody Liver" has a very bizarre combination with Benzino and Pink collaborating on a song. What is astounding is that Benzino portrays himself as a hardcore gangsta from Boston and Pink is a pop singer with pink hair. The entertainment value of the song is thinking about how they hooked up together. Black Rob and Benzino hook up on the track "Any Question's" and the hook does no justice, they claim that they're like big Shaq in the paint. <

>The second half of the album heads into a little more diverse direction then the first half, which was basically one long boring story about guns, sex, money, drugs, and so on. "No Part Of Us" features Bobby Brown and even though he isn't too gifted on the mic he outshines Benzino on the track. The fact that he is Bobby Brown will lend your ear towards the song. "So Beautiful" has a semi reggae feel to the song since it features an unknown artist by the name of Dr. Bellotoma. The plot of this song is about a girl that's so fine that they want to bone and Benzino spits some pioneering lyrics "Gimme respect I got juice like OJ, four play that suck me off all day, I need a girl like P Diddy & Usher Say". With lines like that there is no need to give him five mics because Benzino is "The Source". "Boottee (Remix)" featuring Fabolous & G Dep is most defiantly a banger with two artists that spit catchy lines left, right, and center. The remix would have been much better if Benzino would have let Fab and Dep ride out on the song by themselves. The album finally begins to get into a little rhythm of consistency with two tight tracks back to back with "The Jump Off" which features Raekwon and Cormega. After "The Jump Off" though the album goes back into that mode of horrible tracks including "Shine Like Son" which features his son Rey Rey whom is by far the worst kid rapper to ever touch the microphone. The concept of making a father son song is beautiful but the song is the total opposite. <
> <
>The whole point of making a Remix album is to remix good songs that you have made but this album here takes the cake. After not even pushing 50k albums Benzino still manages to slither back into rap with a remix album. Why remix an album when no one is feeling the original solo album? The album's feeling isn't really a remix it's like a Lou Rawls telethon. When you have 22 songs and a small fraction of tracks that are good, keeping the listeners attention toward the album after a few songs really will be the mission impossible. Benzino's subject matter is the same on just about every song and him rapping like he's one of the top MC's should just be left alone for the top MC's in the game. Sorry America "The Benzino Remix Project" is BOOTTEE, BOOTTEE, BOOTTEE.

He tries, he really does
It's kind of sad when you're from Boston (like myself) and never hear this guy get any air play in his own city. His flow is mild at best and his content (Drug Dealing, Murder, ect) has been done to death. But if thats what you're into, try Eazy E, Big L, or even LL Cool J. They do a better job at it and they always draw you into the story. But hey, its your money.
