EXCLUSIVE – Benny The Butcher has been pumping out mixtapes since 2004 but only rose to rap prominence over the last few years. Proof that hard work and perseverance pays off, Benny and his Griselda brethren — Conway The Machine and Westside Gunn — are attaining the kind of success they dreamed of as young kids growing up in the art-friendly yet gritty rust-belt of Buffalo, New York.

As Benny prepares to drop his highly anticipated follow-up to 2019’s Plugs I Met, the aptly titled Plugs I Met 2, on Friday (March 19), he’s primed to deliver another batch of potent, lazer sharp bars, this time with producer Harry Fraud. Guests include Fat Joe, the late Chinx, 2 Chainz, French Montana and Jim Jones, among others.

quote:

As Jim Jones said following Benny’s shooting, being a rapper is also one of the “most dangerous jobs in the world,”something Benny now understands all too well.

“I agree,” he says when the topic is brought up. “There’s other guys who got more money than rappers and got maybe a better life than a rapper, but they still want the fame and they still want the spotlight because that’s what come with being a rapper. So guys envy you because of that. Everybody envy you because of the money you make.

“They envy you because of the position that you’re in. It’s not just the money either — it’s they look online and see a bunch of people loving you and praising you for the talent that you have. That’s dangerous. It’s like a king. It’s dangerous to be a king because everybody want to be the next king. Everybody wants your spot.”

The cost of disability insurance alone is ridiculous and why I gave up my career in rap music.

We need rapper safety programs. Maybe a task force to study their effectiveness. Lunch will be served.

I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: 'try being rich first'. See if that doesn't cover most of it. There's not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job.

- Bill Murray


Of course, this takes some life skills and work ethic. And not following some absurd sub-culture where people get shot consistiently.

End hate against rappers!

That's how this works right? Also, the danger has nothing to do with the fact that some rappers still sling drugs or run guns. That would be preposterous.

You're giving them too much credit, baw. That would imply it stems from legitimate business disputes and interests. Nah, most of it is over stupid rap beefs or "respect".

Being a violent drug-slinging criminal goes hand in hand for a lot of rappers, so ending up like Pop Got Smoked or Extension Cord is a known hazard. Live by the sword, die by the sword. Get on with it and spare us the shitty music.

Everyone want's to be some C rate rapper. I had to give up my rap career when the boat accident took my weapons to the bottom of the sea. I am no longer qualified for the profession.

Stupid black people often shoot other stupid black people. Career title is irrelevant.
