Arch Nemesis [Clean] [Edited] Sales Rank: 455822 $3.70 At Amazon on 1-29-2008.

Arch Nemesis continues Benzino's feud with rapper Eminem. What looked like a possible truce at the top of the year when Eminem recorded "Toy Soldier" on his now multi-platinum Encore, turned into a false alarm when the video was released. In a scene which shows Eminem agonizing over the bloody body of D-12 member Proof, Benzino is assumed to be the shooter. Catching feelings, Zino shot back with "Look Into My Eyes," a jab at Eminem as well as his first single: "If Eminem want to squash beef, tell him call me/ I'll meet him anywhere, he can bring his army." Worth mentioning however, is that his reference to Em is only a small portion of the song. Not mentioned in any of his press is that the track is more about his life: "Pops went to prison/ I knew about the system/ Every Sunday morning me and moms paid a visit." Other standouts include the hood ode "What's Really Good" featuring Scarface and the Lil Jon produced "Dat's How It Goes." Surprisingly, this track finds a somewhat believable crunk Zino. Track listing: • Intro (1:09) • It's Nuthin' (3:45) • On My Mind (3:41) • Bottles & Up (Thug da Club) (4:06) • U Can't Handle It (3:42) • Numb (Skit) (0:38) • Look into My Eyes (Reponse to Eminem's "Toy Soldiers") (4:32) • News Flash (Skit) (0:27) • Arch Nemesis (Wish a N***a Would) (3:15) • What's Really Good (4:19) • Wide Body (3:43) • Dat's How It Goes (3:02) • 2Pac (Intro) (0:12) • Trying to Make It Through (3:45) • Ride (Skit) (2:13) • Front Back (Side to Side) (3:46) • Sorry (Skit) (1:09) • Not Me (3:58) • Noche de Estrellas (3:41) • Diamond Girl (3:26) • JB Floatin' (Skit) (0:27) • World Famous (4:00) • Killa (2:53) • Last Days Calling (*) (3:38) Despite his co-ownership of The Source, over a decade in the music industry, and a rather high profile feud with a little rapper named Eminem, Ray Benzino has yet to acheive little more than a couple of gold records and a whole bunch of accolades in his own publication. With "Arch Nemesis", the Beantown hustler attempts to drop his biggest album to date. The biggest problem with this album is despite some impressive production and some quality guests which include a guest spot from Mr. Face on "What's Really Good" and an unreleased Tupac verse on "Trying To Make It Through", Z-No is still caught up in trying to sell off his drama from the last album. Rather than using a Tupac track for all its worth, he takes the low road and turns it into a diss track against Eminem who produced some rather mediocre joints for Pac's last LP. He also advertises his first single, "Look In My Eyes" as a response to Eminem's "Like Toy Soldiers". While the video for the track acts as an unoffical sequel to Em's, the song itself doesn't really address anything mentioned on the song. "Killa", which was leaked in spring of 2004, was a pretty solid diss against the Shady camp but the version that appears on this album has been changed with over half of Ray's verse missing. The rest of the album is a mixture of gangsta bravado, club tracks, and cheesy skits. There is some pretty crazy production on this one but the lyrical content and overall subject matter really doesn't offer anything that hasn't been said on a thousand gangsta rap albums before it.
