Albums KXNG Crooked & Joell Ortiz - The Rise and Fall of Slaughterhouse (Discussion Thread)

[Freestyle Phantom3.0]

I can see both sides of this issue and Budden can be a drama queen but yo making a whole album about the sh!t is something else. I get a diss track but this came off like some jaded ex girlfriend type stuff. And I agree 100 percent with Royce that they’re using the name to create a buzz.

This isn't an ideal situation, but the album is dope as fukk from what I've listened to. Seems like Crooked and Joell put all their frustration in the music.

"Still in My Feelings"

I'm surprised you guys don't like the production because it's dope, too. In fact, this album makes me see that the whole rappity rap style with multiple entendres and punchlines can be done very well. Eminem does it in such an uncomfortable way that it made me think the style rarely worked, but Crooked and Joell make it look easy.

Royce spending 20 hours in the studio a day only to get ethered by nerd ass Lupe will always be funny. Another L for the most L worthy “super group” of all time. Including a nikkas whose claim to fame is being the 12th man on the bench at Death Row, a mental midget who beats women, and a Brooklyn rapper whose most memorable career moment was rapping about getting shape ups because he can’t afford a haircut.

I'm surprised at how good this album actually is. The songs aren't repetitive and it doesn't sound like they're flogging a dead horse content wise. I like the DJ Silk tracks as well, haven't heard that name in long time.

This will have more of a shelf life than I expected it to. I like the fact they put this into raps instead of interviews and tweets as well.

Like Royce used Eminem to create a buzz. It happens.

I Think Royce feels the same as well he going to say that sucka shyt talking about Crook had one good verse on the album fukking corn

Man it's a shame these dudes can't get it together for real. Grown ass 40+ year old men airing out dirty laundry from 10 years ago. The album overall is dope, better than I thought it would be. Backstage is an ill track.
But it just goes to show you even the lyrics in that track Joell says after the tours, bytches, and partying they all went back to their respective cities and didn't really chop it up like that, only "some holiday texts".
Maybe they all wasn't as tight as the fans think they were.

But I will say this, I blame Joe for the groups disbandment. He basically retired or wanted to retire and then that was that. Joell said he was acting like the head of the group too, when he really wasn't....trying to make business decisions on their behalf without the whole groups agreement. When it was suppose to be the 4 of them together making the business and $$ decisions. Money fukks a lot of stuff up man.....it's a shame but that's the evil of that dollar. It destroys friends, relationships, family, everything.

Royce on that bytch tip too lately but I won't get into that, but the main reason for the group breaking up is Joe, plain and simple.

continue jerking off your dogs you sick prick

I don't get how Joell and Crooke ruined anything when Joe is retired.

 

[mindgawn]

Somehow it seems like the ownership of a brand gets lost in the sauce in all these arguements...I am sure all of them have been going through shyt but Joe been said ownership or nothing. Then been going through shyt the public has seen and mofos say get on board with a slaughterhouse album or get blamed for the demise.

If slaughterhouse or ties to SH affects your money that much...I see why you say fux your money (i will fux your money up you thought you had with the SH brand) but damn man my actual brother can be told No but some pseudo brothers cant...even when they got other revenue streams is crazy.

Joe and Royce aint never said nothing negative about them brothers while SH was stagnant...they should have continued getting to they individual bread while SH was curbed

"See what had happened was" The Album

 

[Bickin Back Being Bool]

I got to track 10, I'll finish it after work

It's a dope album so far

I can understand Joe n Royce hating, but this is hip hop, you supposed to rap about what you going thru

 

[jshani]

album is pretty good...

kinda ironic they got a song title "Ain't Nobody Mad"

when the whole album makes them sound mad af

 

[Killalex]

Dope to hear Joell and Crooked rap over some slaughterhouse type shyt. This is better than nothing with Joe not wanting to rap and Royce acting like a new age guru super thug on social media.

 

[GreenGhxst]

Listening to Royce and Joe, it sounds like Joell and Crook are mad they couldn't get their way

so they decided to just burn the whole house down

 

[Duke Dixon]

I don't know how people are saying Crook is the best with his pen when he has a lot of Eminem worthy punches on here.

One person can't be the goat and the other be washed when they're both doing the same thing.
