“Summer(Aug) 2002 – Eminem was out in Puerto Rico for the Mixtape Summit and for the promotion of his Movie 8 mile. He did a performance and after backstage Benzino tried to go over and talk to him. Eminem ignored him and said he didn't wanna talk to him because he was mad about his album not getting a 5 mic in Benzino's magazine The Source. Eminem later on does a interview and he's asked about what he thought about his album The Eminem Show being praised with a 4 mic rating.
