Slaughterhouse definitely could’ve used a singular producer. I liked the first album and one of those mixtapes they did (I think one that had a song they did over a Kanye single), but that second album was horrendous. That single with Cee-Lo was putrid. They’re all dope artists in their own right, but a group of 4 spitters should not at all be rapping over those lame Skyler Grey/Em hopeful anthemic ass beats.

This was their formula. Just straight spit until the track ends. That’s all anybody that listened to their music wanted to hear from them. Any rap fan should have zero complaints about these.







That second album hurt. Especially after that fire ass mixtape they dropped right before. They completely sold out what they said was their purpose of getting together.

Go back to being a mechanic or whatever. Also him saying he broke up slaughterhouse was weird when Joe was refusing to rap and Royce follows whatever Joe does.

Edit: this bum talking about sh breaking up like its the temptations or some shyt. He misses people caring about him.

All this. LOL!!

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster

I watched the entire video. In the last two minutes of the interview, Joell was asked about Slaughterhouse. He didn't diss anyone, and he didn't go into depth about what he regretted saying during the fallout. The whole thing was 38 minutes, and he discussed SH for 2 of those 38. Everything else was about the album.

Who would you say isn’t wack?
I think more rappers are mediocre/wack than nice. I'm not going to name anyone you don't know yourself breh.

All the rapping to get bars off instead of trying to make good music admittedly isn't for me. I can't really fukk with coast contra for the same reason

Nah, i'ma have to disagree with everyone on here and say THEY REALLY HAD POTENTIAL but the IRONY OF IT ALL was that they all agreed to do the one thing they were so AGAINST and that was hook up with a major label even after they had all in unison said they got f*cked over plus twice on a sunday. These mfs we're like gambling addicts thinking they we're gonna hit a Home run signing with Shady of all the labels :russ: and i can't blame em either after they saw the success Royce had with the bad meets evil project, it was a facade, a VERY CONVINCING FACADE thinking Eminem was going to save them all but when you have eminem as an executive producer having you rap over goofy production, the public's first impression that has no clue on who you are will see you as a diluted D12 project and no diss to D12 cuz they had some good rappers on them, but EM's strategy is going the goofy route cuz it worked for him, making everyone else that follow suit look like clowns. It's a miracle he ain't do 50 like that maybe cuz Dre was as much involved on some :whoa: "aight Em, maybe sit this one out, and all the other cuts and let me take the wheel" sh*t.

They could've kept building slowly but surely a strong core base independently and released what they really wanted. But ya know how it goes, everyone always lookin to hit one over the fences :heh: small ball goes a long way.
This was the main problem, musically.

They had potential.

Dope “group” that came together organically then saw dollar signs and started forcing music. That 2nd album was one of the most disappointing albums ever for different reasons but mainly because they were fool enough to think that shyt was gonna hit with their fans. Probably should’ve have never been a group more than being a collective who came together to just do projects. Egos were too big. Music too contrived.
