He honestly pretty much was. Name someone else who you think of when Boston is mentioned. And if you're not being fake about it... You can't! He put that City on!
It was his adopted home though, this was 2000 ai believe and he'd been in Boston since he was drafted in 97' so not like he was a visitor to the city for the weekend..
Art:"Tell me about the Paul Pierce situation"! Benzino:Well Boston is a tough place! I was getting money! The murder rate went down, I didn't get credit!
He literally told us, why..... And added some info about, himself .... afterall ... this is HIS INTERVIEW .... you need to SPREAD THE RESPONSE OUT , you can't just answer it in one sentence ..... the video would be 3 seconds ....
He was setting up the scenario and how Paul Pierce and his teammates happened to be in that night club that night... An album release party for the Wiseguys and how the group came into existence.. Yeah he spiced it up a bit but I don't see anything wrong in how he was describing the era and how the group itself came into being.. Esp for those who weren't around in the late 90's, early 2000's.. Context matters in an interview like this and besides if he doesn't go into some detail how long would the interview be!! Nothing he said was repetitive btw, just facts...
It's not always the female's fault. If the man told him that's my woman and he still trying to get her,is the utmost disrespect. Especially if it's a BM trying to take another BM woman. It was all his fault.
Lord's Willing I will be 64 this year. By His Grace I'm still here. Everyone knows that there are Laws of the streets, and sometimes there aren't any make-up tests. "You snooze, you lose". The Hustlers, Boosters, The Playas" The Ballers, Street pharmacist, Those getting money, Those Banging, all make up the "Streets" Oh yeah, and the Haters.What I didn't know at the time was "The Streets" is another name for "Satan Ways" just like the Lord teaches us His Ways, Satan teaches those in the Street his ways. Ever hear the saying, "You can't beat the Streets" it's true because, "Every seed you sow, you will reap" (...And seeds produce fruit bearing more seeds!) I was supposed to be a statistic, the guy who claimed that he was going to kill me, in up killing someone else and after the Lord saved me I visited the jail and witnessed him.satan, will give you whatever you want in return for your soul. His strategy is to keep you doing whatever you are doing, hustling, sex, getting money etc. For he knows that each one of us has an expiration date. If you leave this world in your sins you will certainly lift your eyes up in hell to be tormented for eternity. (Facts) There is no such thing as R.I.P. for a sinner the bible declares 1 Peter 4:18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?I pray that this helps someone. If you don't know the Lord, Just pray and ask Him to come into your life and to fill you with His Holy Spirit.God Bless
Where ya girl at? I'm from the ghetto of Baltimore and here we take. I bet you won't do me like you did Paul Pierce. Take ya girlfriend then dump her ass
That girl Paul was already fucking..when he saw her there he asked her “you fucking with these broke ass niggas” it escalated from there..basically he was smashing shorty and ole boy found out in real time
How else was it supposed to end up tho??? Paul was a ball player not a street nicca so them no snitching rules ain't apply to him. He probably was wrong for getting aggressive with another man's girl but after the police got the evidence I doubt he was just going to stay silent and let it go.
@@kaydee1485you are missing the point it don’t matter if they ain’t know , “NBA STAR” they wasn’t getting away with it , meaning to much sources to much money they were going to find out who did it
Paul back then was a dude from Englewood, and even if you ain’t a gangbanger and you’re from a part of Englewood with his bloods, you ain’t snitching politics, so Paul knew better
Don't matter if he athlete or not acting tough, being disrespectful and then pointing the finger at the wrong niggas is out of line ain't no fucking excuses!
I agree with Benzino on this ☝🏽… respect and humility can circumvent a lot of problems! Especially when you in someone else’s city! show respect to the locals in that city because that’s not your sandlot
@@MACTASTICTV absolutely agree w/ you 100% …. hopefully the person giving and receiving the interview on this reads the comment and applies it to themselves.
Damn benzino said some real shit right there with that one 💯 “when you’re entertaining them and laughing n’ shit you’re not a threat but when you’re standing on business just to get by they despise you”
Paul always was the type to think he was better than everyone. Luckily for him. He stopped acting that way in front of street dudes after he got poked 11 times.
Paul is from Los Angeles..those dudes had huge egos back then (mostly b/c LA was still the US gang capitol with a nasty rep for breeding killers)..add in having long bread & boom a powderkeg
No, he didn't stop thinking that after getting stabbed. He got even better, and the guy grew up in Inglewood so I'm sure it wasn't the first time he was around street dudes having a good time in a club.
Bullying rappers and his people beating up sport players. Threaten to kill eminems daughter. Beef with eminem was a big mistake on benzino career and stunted entire hip hop growth in Boston.
Come on, give him some credit. He saw that his community was headed for self destruction so he decided to stop the violence by putting various gangbangers together to show them all, that we're in the same gang.
all he did was lie in this interview. There was guns and knives in that establishment and Benzino let them in. The guy who stabbed Pierce is a guy name raglan. He was a know crack dealer and shooter. He was Benzinos boy. Pierce is from California and did not know the details.
I'm just proud of this channel... Been on it for a minute and now when Im watching other channels they are referencing YOUR interviews when it comes to hip-hop and certain people... You've come a long way... It's just beginning... The sky isn't even the limit...
It was an album release party and the lady being hollered at was one of the dude:s chick and another dude's sister.. The brother and her man were both present. So she had people in there, like the home team... Paul Pierce as a top ten NBA draft pick wasn't even supposed to be in an enviroment like that, and if he was, should have been in a VIP type of roped up area, not co-mingling with regular street cats... He was lucky the hospital was a few blocks away and he got help quickly or he would have bled out... He had to have emergency lung surgery, the man lucked out
Benzino invited his Homies to that club. Knives and guns were inside the club. A guy named Ragland had just shot another guy named Sakoya in Dorchester that day and was in the club with his homie benzino. He was drunk and acting a fool as usual. He got into a confrontation wioth pierce and they jumped pierce. Ragland stabbed pierce after his friend refuse to give him the gun. Benzino was never doing anything for no peace. Made men were drug dealers and gang members from friendly hoods.They would go to local college and act a fool. They were the reason many clubs would ban hip hop.Benziono would try to use these men to intimidate Dj and clubs. They wre Beefing with many side streets and blocks. They tried to intimidate outside acts and lock downBoston so only Benzino approved acts can come. This worked at first but it eventually back fired. Benzino claimed "Paul pierce was a just coming to boston" That is a lie. Paul pierce was in his 3 year. He claimed he was at the pool table and that was a lie. Benzino was under serious pressure After the paul pierce incident and Bloods in California was on his tail. Ragland was eventually arrested after hiding out. He got out and police ran in his crib and found a gun and gave him life. Ragland lost a lot of homies and family BC to his action. Benzionos car was shot up and his days in boston came to an end.
Bro you don’t know what your talking about 😂 he wasn’t the one who stabbed him. He also didn’t get out then caught with a gun and life. Ragland been in jail for 24 years and is on his way home.furthermore he never received 20 years for that case it was for something completely different.
And that's pretty much the truth finally someone really remembers this coward, he ain't never even fought in Boston let alone bust his gun, He don't got a Record of being locked up here for nothing , he has never been to Charles st ,Deer Island or Walpole ,Shirley max or no lock ups so please keep that music gangsta just to that
Paul don't know the detail so he can't offer a rebuttal. Benzino let the guns and knives in. Ragland stabbed Paul in the club but earlier that day he shot Sakoya in the neck in dorchester. The Greewood street dudes was looking to get him for that. He was in the club with his Homie benzino. This is why Benzinos car got shot up. The Bloods in California knew Benzino was involve in that situation.
Paul already told the story. Benzino is doing the rebuttal.... why? Idk.... he make it seem like Paul lying when Paul basically told the same story he told
@@rm8344 He just running his mouth. Pierce had noClue that Ragland was going to do that. Ragland had a knife and his Homie had a gun. Benzino allowed all that.Ragland shot sakoya in the neck earlier that day and them Greenwood dudes were looking to kill Ragland. Ragland was in the club drunk with his homies.Benzino is a liar.
Allegedly I got the right to holla at anybody chick and if she say no I'ma leave her alone but u not a man if u don't risk getting poked up tryna holla at a girl because u might get murdered over it if the decide to choose u and cheat lmao. If I got stabbed over a chick
Pt two : if I got stabbed over a chick because she like me as well as her man or more then her man I'ma allegedly come back years later to allegedly commit m*rder or allegedly put a hit out or spread negative word about the individual who stabbed me. Im not just gonna convert to not hollering at someone girl lmao. If I die o well lmao. I would try to avoid childish jealous men in the first place though. It sounds like Paul was in the right and the people who stabbed him were either losers or had a problem with ego. Happens everyday
People keep saying civilians have a right to snitch i don't think any human has the right to tell on someone and not mind his or her business or retaliate instead of telling lmao
@@lyricalshapeshiftertelling is retaliating. Civilians don't have gangs for retaliation, they have the law and authorities. That's the way it's always been, and sure sign of a wannabe is not understanding that
@@darkdante9 It amazes me how weak minded you internet people are... You literally think me saying Benzino won't get flowers somehow has anything to do with being triggered??? Go live life a little miii boy than come back here... You not seasoned enough for an intelligent conversation...
I was a freshmen in high school when that happened the gang shit was crazy. The crip n folk movement was popping. The old beef from the 80s was coming back and young niggaz like myself was hopping on the porch
People like clowning on Benzino over the Eminem shit,I get that.Im from Boston and remember the stabbing and Benzino is telling the truth.At a time back in the day Benzino and his crew was RUNNING Boston streets.Dude is certified.
..and he aint lyin, I remember all of this shit. There is a video of him in the studio with rival gangs and keeping dudes from shooting each other. Benzino maybe old and ya'll got short term memory...he was a real dude in the culture, they was scared of this dude back in the day trust.
That’s if this story is true. He said he was standing from afar so the actual details are coming his boys (2nd hand information). Paul pierces version is very similar except he said when dude said that was his girl the girl was looking at him nah not really. I seen both ways play out and both scenarios be true. So it’s hard to believe who telling the truth.
You had to be there to believe it. I remember reading about The Wise Guys and Boston in ironically The Source Magazine. The Source was the Hip Hop Bible back in those days. Im not from Boston.
Roscoe was sentenced to 10 years for the stabbing. The other dude got 1 year. He's up here exaggerating like a mfer. Now he was a peacemaker for the gangs in Boston lol ok. And before Paul Pierce there was a witness that identified Roscoe as starting the fight and using a serrated knife.
The Lox said same thing after their brawl woth Benzino crew. They said the police kept wanting them to say Benzino was there cause he was so hated by cops in Boston
Paul owes my Homie $250k at that party that ESPN fired him for he Welch on a Bet saying he was going to pay he been Ducking and Dodging since he's A Slime Ball
"he told huh" damn right he told. He's not in the streets. Only street people live by stupid street codes and most of them don't even follow the code correctly.
He said he didn’t know it was Paul Pierce when they were jumping him, but said he rushed out the club back to NY cause he knew it was gonna be world news😂 He knew that was Paul! 😂
@@clydechavo4797He wasn’t a gangster than he shouldn’t had been acting like one disrespecting another man trying to kick it to his girl right in front of him. Ya’ll nighaz are dumb
To be fair he said when he was outside he heard Battie and other celtics telling the police that benzino and his people stabbed PP. At the time of it happening, he probably didn't know and tried to jet to NY after personally seeing his name being implicated with the crime.
@@user-rh8fg5hz3n you missing the point. Maybe your from a place where the term G-Code doesn't exist, but to inform you. It's a code used by gangsters. It includes street codes such as "never snitch". Being that Paul Pierce is a civilian and not a gangster, and he's just a civilian that got wrapped up into some ganster sht. Rules such as, "never snitch", don't apply to him.
@@DOEGrindzNo one called him a Snitch tho, He just made it clear that He Told.... Disrespect is Disrespect regardless...Unless The Girl was leading him on he in the Wrong
Art u hilarious for this ....i love u bro "you made bro feel like a major factor his body language is "legendary" hand movement he happy to be there 😂😂😂 "the wise guys"
I was raised in Boston from the 80’s to mid 90’s. From Hyde Park, Mattapan, Roxbury to Dorchester, ninjas was getting busy DAILY. Boston wasn’t called The Jungle for no reason.
Paul Pierce was NOTORIOUS for trying to holla at people’s girls. He did it to my homeys girl too on South Street in Philly. This was after the Allstar game in Philly years ago. He was belittling us about his money he had compared to us and being disrespectful. Broke people have nothing to lose, so it was a matter of time before he got what he got. He’s just lucky to live afterwards.
Only problem is the philadelphia all star game took place in 2002 that 2 years after he got stabbed so i guess he did not get the message to not mess around other people girl ....
@@dantemccainnah, if u kicking it to another man’s woman right in front of him, you’re deliberately disrespecting him and u know there’s consequences behind disrespect. U sound dumb
In my time in Boston 88-95 almighty rso use to beat up radio DJs they were not to be messed with I was in a group call ATG,Urban Gods managed by Mass effect.
I'll save you the time. Benzino saw Paul Pierce getting jumped but he knew he wouldn't be able to influence the situation and was scared for his safety so he pretended to not notice.
Brings allot of clarity on why the way this brother feels about hip hop. He's responsible for bringing down the murder rate at one time in the most racists city in America but still gets demonized. He's right about hip hop but he didn't direct his anger at the people responsible. I'm on Benzinos side all day It might not be the popular opinion but its the right one. More people need to start riding with this dude
I always have still fan this I was a kid at 14 years old bumping his first group Almighty RSO EP and there 1996 debut album my favorite Track with MOP Coca Brothaz One in the Chamber
Benzino is really certified man. Brings Gangsta in the community together through music resulting in peace.... You can tell that incident still sits on his chest as he said, if I knew it was him I would broke it up. Much respect.
no he is not ha ha ha you don't know nothing and is on the outside looking in. How did the knives and guns get in the club? Oh i know Benzino let them in. Did the guy who stabbed Pierce stab him over a girl? Hell no. He was drunk and was asking his boy for the gun. He had just shot Sakoya in the neck early that day and was in the club with his homie benzino. The green wood dudes were looking to kill Ragland the guy who stabbed pierce but he was hiding in the club.
