[Lolnollkoll]

PETITION TO PUT BENEFIT ON MILK CARTONS

[MrPoppaBearr]

I love benefit

[VA703]

B.e.n.e.f.i.t., I've been a fan since you killed the Napster contest. Eminem should've signed you instead of Yelawolf. 

[sonicizkool]

@VA703 Or eminem's new clone Denace

[jamstamanify]

it's a shame he used that weird voice effect

[RedAssG123]

@jamstamanify no it's not, you fucking retard.

[ThunderKnows1]

[mandoelowks262]

[tazzinurface]

story of my life.....

[jacephonz]

BENNNNNNNY GET AHOLD OF ME BRO, I DONT KNOW HOW THE FUCK TO GET AHOLD OF YOU BUT YOU DESERVE A GRAMMY, DONT GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAM GET YOUR ASS OUTTA THE BASEMENT AND START DROPPIN MORE SHIT. YOU GOT A MILLION FANS ALL OVER THE WORLD. RECORD DEAL WAITING 

[kenpowoody]

@jacephonz..lol i wish the same too, but hes not in a basement hes producing now.

[tirsobust]

To all those who are fans of underground no name artists who are trying to have their voices heard.

In 2005 an amazing artist died in a car accident on the Central Coast of California. If you like Benefit's underground style, which I greatly do, you will love Dieaniesis as well. No hate please just give him a listen and give him a chance. R.I.P. Gabriel "Gabby" Gonzales.

[mitchal54321]

Perfect beat for this

[R5224B]

finally, good music. its good to see that mainstream hasnt fully taken over hip-hop.... (HCL ent.- Abnormal) .... look it up if you wanna listen to more REAL underground rap/hip-hop

[TheyCallMeDanksy]

Good shit, stay underground man...your flows and beats are perfect.

[Xx420KilluhxX]

Yo yo I'm spittin mad flows kick it with mad hoes fuck all those lame ass bros I slap bitches and leave their body's in deches

[tirsobust]

Real samplin THUMBS UP if u dig that old school feel!

[Baxxter101]

@tirsobust its not just "old school feel"... This shit IS oldschool... Motherfucker produced this shit SOLO back in '99... Stupid niggers like those with current respect took lessons from Benefit but never gave proper props...  Fucking niggers.

[Alrekur]

You dumb bitch. Who can say, Its what's right or wrong for me. Faggot

[Baxxter101]

Sooo... Based on the first 10, there is no fucking way I'm going to read back through these comments...

Would be much appreciated if some kind knowledgeable person would let me know wtf happened to Benefit... Obviously he was/is a true artist who isn't concerned with success or recognition. But I'm still curious...

[MrMandoChingon]

Once there was a little kid named Benefit

Walked around town with a frown, face down, lookin bent

Had problems inside, his little sister just died

Keep your head up little man, all you got is your pride

He said 'the world doesn't want me, and neither does my daddy

He'd rather get drunk and puff blunts then have a family'

That's real, and ain't nothing realer then that

[sharpshooter1125]

@londontownsongz if you base how good people off sales then Justin Bieber must be one of the best to you.

[CahillBeatz]

sooooooooooo he quit rappin cause why?!

[Ewokdesigns1]

ill sick so awesome i puked blood on my way to feeling joyful. optimistic that your skills will be appreciated soon.

luker

[SickDemonicGuests]

@ handlthescandle that is one of my favorites by Benny all other works are amazing but that song dragged me into the eternal circle of benefit tracks which i am still incited by today.

[SickDemonicGuests]

@realAndTrueHipHop how dare you campare yourself to benefit you foolish soul, you will be struck down by the wrath of hip hop for even insinuating such a stupid and unbelievably untrue statement. FUCK YOU go die and rot in a hole. the best MC alive holds no weight compared to that of benefit, you sir should die a painfull death and if i had the chance i would deal it myself get off this page and never come back you have disgraced yourself as an artist or whatever self proclaimed title you choose

[reksD8]

@SickDemonicGuests ahahhhahhah

[RealAndTrueHipHop]

Angry Mic > Benefit

Check out "Jitters" by Angry Mic

[ferrettamer1]

@RealAndTrueHipHop I just listened to him. He's (most likely you) is (are) good, but he (you) are no benefit.

[NYCarlo718]

@RealAndTrueHipHop die die die die die die die die die die die die die

[kingsofthenortheast]

Heard he was only about 15/16 when this was recorded, but it's brilliant.

[xmrticex]

I wish he made just one more album

[mexicanbeast14]

[lilypearl1966]

benefit true king of hip hop

[Zashatana]

@LuvSicc betraying* not trading

[Area51rezerch]

[TheVersetile]

@Area51rezerch 8 people that benefit destroyed in a rap battle

[elflordbob1]

@TheVersetile

[ModifiedMystery]

[Fettotv]

[ModifiedMystery]

[RedAssG123]

@ModifiedMystery Apparently about to drop a new album = D BenefitOfficial(dot)com you can contact him there.

[elflordbob1]

The world is much colder then the steal of a gat

But yet he moved on, he fought to stay strong

In this cold world, to stay warm he put a jacket on

Made of 100 percent pain

The label said the only way to wash it was to stand out in rain

[eagletalonpl]

i first heard this guy back in 2005 socom days holla.

[2064219393]

Man I first heard this dude from the Mario rap which was cool, but I heard this and I realized this dude has some real talent. Now I'm back in 2011 showing some love.

[Area51rezerch]

when you get famous i can say i was a fan since 2-3k views on youtube ^.^

[lwil2]

Is this dude connected wit illbil or necro this intros are very simular. I like this shit though scrap the intros

[ExtraSpicy121]

@lwil2 Yeah Necro and him should make a song it would be really sick.

[BayGame1]

The guitar work sounds like it is either from Clapton or Santana, but I can't find any specific. The Hook is from a Supremes song

[elflordbob1]

life is colder then a gat

one of the hundereds of amazing benefit quotes

[458237]

8 people dont know our story

[TheSpyro420]

This is one of my best songs.

[lahc666]

Keep your head up little man, all you got is your pride..

[gabesta400]

[EcktoSNR]

Thanks for this Benny.

[villasixx]

[cantein22]

[PeanutButterSkillet]

Who has the right to know, my life's a steady flow, who can say what's right or wrong for people...gets me everytime.

[lokisalazar]

he raps like i write my poems...this is one of my favorite songs it kind of reminds me of my life

[XBlowinKushX]

Proof that hip hop isn't dead...

[LuLuNJerry]

Once upon a time Hip Hop was Love..  be a HUMAN and LOVE SOMETHING. One World.

[gusgus3able]

did benefit die...

[D1V1N315]

My dream guy is a guy like benefit,, poetic with versus! love you benefit

[Mazter0fRemix]

@D1V1N315 get real fag

[D1V1N315]

@Mazter0fRemix first of all i'M A GIRL!!

[TBBlends]

DUDE LAY OFF THE REVERB. but this track is still nassssstyyy

[SuperMrsPunk]

@TBBlends Not trying to start shit, but i think that the reverb is just right in this song. It gives "my story" a kind of flashback sound that, I think really works for what this song is about.

[plompz]

Damn, if he actually got signed, and released new albums, got better recording equipment, made pro beats, and kept real hip hop going, im sure he would have been the next tupac or biggie

[takeahint123]

@plompz

truesay

[gamermanz12]

@plompz hes still does his thing, has his own studio / equipment but listen to his lyrics in some songs he dunt want to get signed, just like lupe fiasco says build your own station become your own dj

[providenceflims]

Loneliness has followed me my whole life. Everywhere. In bars, in cars, sidewalks, stores, everywhere. There's no escape. I'm God's lonely man

One of those stories you here once in a lifetime with crazy brain things like you can inherit a killstreak from a billy kid king. This is one of 900 bullets that can penetrate walls floors and inatimate obsticals. Accurate to a single hair folical then knocked back and demolished on contact with no contract just masks and bats
