AUDIO: The Benzino Voicemail Tapes
Gotta thank the illustrious Miss Info for passing this on. It's a couple of voicemail messages Benzino left at Ozone magazine for Julia Beverly. Benzino may not be much of a rapper, but when it comes to misogynistic voicemail hissy fits? He's got it down. Because I'm a nice guy I bleeped out his phone number, but the rest is uncut:
Benzino's Ozone Voicemails - (MP3, very very R rated)
Um... wow. So uhh.. you mad, doggie?
Sure is hard to imagine that guy harassing women in the workplace, huh? if you want to see the Ozone piece that wounded Benzino's heart so, here it goes right here. It's a good one. (and by the way this is almost exactly what Dave Mays sounded like when he called me back in the day, except he wasn't as versatile with the namecalling.)
EDIT (via nah right): Ozone just put the tape up on their site, complete with phone number intact.. not that I endorse calling him, unless perhaps you are a licensed therapist.
2nd EDIT: Meanwhile Allhiphop.com continues to play apologist for Benzino, with this "TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY! Zino just might have just reason to be mad.." nonsense. Allhiphop is one of the best hip-hop news sites but their coverage of Benzino is often light in the backbone area, and this is the worst example yet.

a version with the number bleeped out? Thanks Jay. I wanted to post the one I had last night but caught feelings about putting his math out there.

I love that he thought "slut monkey" was such a great insult that he had to keep repeating it...Kudos!

She must read Crunk and Disorderly too. I see three post topics and photos that came straight from Fresh's blog.
Jay, tell Miss Info to link back! It's good blogging manners!

yeah, I wonder if Fresh knows about that.

oops, my bad! actually I mostly get stuff (pics, files, vids) sent to me via email from my listeners so I never know where it comes from. (not to mention I am a total tech-moron when it comes to web stuff) I'm learning tho. I thought someone just wrote Fresh on there as a title for the photo. Definitely dont want to get embroiled in a blog battle that I can't handle, lol.
Apologies! Will try to link stuff.

I noticed that a while back...I don't really care too much. Miss Info is one on my myspace buddies actually, haha. It's all good. No cyber guns.

So he can call her a "stupid cracker bitch", but when he catches Eminem saying "nigger" on an old mixtape, it's worthy of a press conference?

Let me get this right, Hashim: Benzino threatens a woman and you're concerned about "putting his math out there"? C'mon. Dude committed a federal offense, son. And any nigga threatening a woman---on VOICEMAIL---needs to be put on full-blast. What a bitch.
Fuck that.
Benzina---that is some hoe-typuh shit.
Two words: Man-up.

OK zeno, first of all before you talk about anybody else's looks you need to consider yourself because you obviously have not in a very long time. 2nd how you gonna get all screw faced at some body else's opinion when you talk mo' shit than a little bit about people who doing bigger things than you (EM,50,Flex,and JB can get added to the list now.) Keep it 100 and face the fact that you can dish it out but you cant take it. You are the only one looking stupid cause ozone is getting all the free press from this!!!!
BE A MAN!!!! And BTW any one who wants Zino's number its 917-502-6719.
