Eminem paces through a dilapidated office, dressed in all black other than a yellow tie and some yellow accents on his sneakers, in the video for Lyrical Lemonade’s “Doomsday 2.” On the track, Eminem raps about how much “shit with a purpose that matters” but also dissing his longtime foe, Benzino. “Now I got a riddle … What is the opposite of Benzino?” he raps. “A giraffe. ‘Go at his neck,’ How the fuck is that?/How can I go at somethin’ he doesn’t have?” And he keeps going and going.

Eminem put longtime rival Benzino on blast on a new song, and he made it very personal.
People noted that the 51-year-old “Lose Yourself” rapper’s feud with Benzino, a rapper and producer, started in 2002 over a review of one of Eminem‘s albums.
Since then, they’ve traded barbs in lyrics. The tradition continues with the release of Eminem‘s song “Doomsday Pt. 2.” This time around, he even brought Benzino‘s famous daughter into the mix, too.

As the song continued, Eminem called out Benzino‘s finances and alluded to his sexuality.
