Eminem’s oldest rival has hit back after the rapper released a diss track about him.

Despite previously stating he didn’t think he’d release any more music past the age of 50, the real Slim Shady wasn’t about to let one of his rivals have the last say.

The 51-year-old recently reignited a feud with one of his oldest enemies, taking aim in the best way he knows how – a diss track – and his rival has since responded.

Earlier this week, on 26 January, Lyrical Lemonade – real name Cole Bennett – released his latest album All is Yellow.

And who should not only feature but have also partially produced one track titled ‘Doomsday Pt.2′? Bennett’s friend Eminem, of course.

And within the song, the rapper couldn’t help but take aim, slamming a fellow rapper and music producer in his lyrics.

The lyrics read: “Now I got a riddle (What?), one condition, you mustn’t laugh (Okay) / What is the opposite of Benzino? (Uh, what?) A giraffe (Haha). Go at his neck, how the f**k is that? (Yeah) / How can I go at somethin’ he doesn’t have? (Haha) / Arm so short he can’t even touch his hands.”

If you hadn’t clocked who he’s talking about by now, Eminem is dissing Benzino – real name Raymond Leon Scott – an American music producer and record owner who previously co-owned magazine The Source.

Eminem also comments on Benzino’s financial struggles and takes shots at his daughter, Coi Leray, 26 – also a rapper.

And it hasn’t taken long for Benzino to hit back.

The pair’s feud first began in the early 2000s when Benzino leaked a recording of Eminem using the ‘N’ word.

Eminem publicly apologised for the racial slur and the leak ended up reflecting not only badly on him, but on Benzino too, who resigned from his role at The Source.

The rappers haven’t seen eye-to-eye ever since, either taking to social media or relying on the power of song to call the other out – think Benzino’s ‘Pull Your Skirt Up’ and ‘Die Another Day’ and Eminem’s ‘The Sauce’ and ‘Nail in the Coffin’.

And Benzino’s response to the latest hit from Eminem? Well, another song of course, with Benzino not holding back from diving straight into mocking Eminem’s drug overdose in ‘Vulturius’ – released yesterday (28 January).

“Candy-ass Eminem, b***h-a** feminine/ Mad he lack melanin, all Valium’d up again. Aw, s**t, here we go, Benzino vs. Jim Crow/ Know a custy when I see one, how many times you overdose?” he raps. “Cracker on crack who rap/ But hate Black and it shows/ Invade our culture then insult us/ Time you get exposed.”

Benzino also rapped about Eminem’s late friend Proof.

He also pokes at the death of Eminem’s friend and fellow rapper Proof – real name DeShaun Dupree Holton.

Benzino continues: “You a punk, plan my funeral? Please, you shoot who?/ Square ain’t even go circle the block for Proof.”

Oh, and Benzino even decides to question Eminem’s sexuality.

“Trailer park swine b***h, shit, you’re miserable and you’re alone/ And we think that they cloned you/ You look weird, don’t care how much Just For Men they put on you/ Never seen with a girl, never seen with a b***h/ But got a song ‘What If I Was Gay’ with Joyner Lucas.”

And it’s probably only a matter of time before Eminem hits back.
