DEF JAM DIDN’T LIKE THIS STORY!!! BENNY THE BUTCHER SAYS SNOOP DOGG IS THE REASON...

In this past clip from My Expert Opinion Ep.176, Benny The Butcher sits down with Math Hoffa to break down his come-up, 30 mixtapes deep before his major label run, his days with Griselda, DJ Shay’s influence, and his time around Conway and Westside Gunn. Benny also clears up rumors about being signed to Shady Records, shares how his Def Jam deal was structured as a licensing/profit share, and why Snoop Dogg was the key figure in making it happen — even though Def Jam doesn’t like when he gives Snoop all the credit.

Benny also speaks on independence, why Griselda changed the game, his early years with 38 Spesh, why he turned down other labels like Atlantic, and why signing to Def Jam was about broader audience reach rather than money.
