he's only being interviewed by them because he's the hot name right now... he's the hot name because he's white but complex had nothing to do with making him hot from the beginning... i see benzino's point though... people grind for years and will never make it to complex...

:ehh: He has got a point, and I'm a white dude.

Same. Other than the fact that a number of rappers (and performers of all types) have gotten on without paying dues, he's right.

He doesn't know the proper time to use quotation marks, but his point is valid.

I think Slim Jesus is everything wrong with rap right now too

but its not cause of this reason

what does "paid dues" even mean ? Did Nas pay dues before illmatic ? What about Snoop Dogg? Majority of rap super stars blew up within the first year of their first mixtape/record..

Nas is a poor example because he was known as early as '91.

Snoop is a better example but between "Deep Cover", "The Chronic", and then "Doggystyle" he had built up a buzz and anticipation.

Benzino is a clown but nowadays you can start rapping 2 weeks ago and be on the cover of Complex in a month. Paid dues is basically a catch-all phrase that means put in any kind of work on any level to break into hip-hop or rap. To have a back ground in it.
