nail in the coffin 

The death of the rapper, Benzino! Eminem fucking spit bar-after-bar right at his throat, each diss more savage than the last! The line where Benzino just died instantly was:

Slap my mom! Slap the fuck out of her
She can't sue you, she wouldn't get a buck out of ya
'Cause you're broke as fuck, you suck, you're a fuckin' joke
If you was really sellin' coke, well, then what the fuck
You stop for, dummy? If you slew some crack
You'd make a lot more money than you do from rap

It was too much for Benzino to handle! RIP Benzino!
Eminem put a nail in the coffin and ended Benzino!
