Benzino Doesn’t Redeem Himself

Chuck Campbell of the Knoxville News reviewed Benzino’s new album ‘Redemption’, giving it only 1.5 out of 5 stars. Campbell writes, “As co-owner of The Source magazine, Ray “Benzino” Scott doubtless knows the adage about any publicity being better than no publicity at all. So here’s some bad publicity to help his cause as a rapper: His Eminem-bashing ‘Pull Your Skirt Up,’ a track from his new ‘Redemption’ album, is a desperate play for attention that couldn’t be more lame. Those unfortunate enough to hear the ditty may wince in embarrassment as Benzino bumbles along, spewing insipid lines laid bare by sparse and weak production.”
