The Eminem hate on this website is idiotic and totally ridiculous...but signing to Shady Records is what killed Slaughterhouse.
The blame goes to Eminem....and to everyone else at Shady / Interscope who made "Welcome To: Our House," INCLUDING Slaughterhouse themselves.
Some people say, "Slaughterhouse just made rappety rap songs, they didn't make actual songs." But that is 100% false. On "Welcome To: Our House," EVERY SONG has traditional structure, and a different theme. The only ones that you could call "rappety rap" are "Coffin" and "Die," and even those have traditional song structure. Actually, the opposite of that statement is true - Slaughterhouse fukked up because they tried to make actual songs, and quit making rappety rap songs. Rappety rap songs were their lane, and they were great at them. Their mixtapes were all rappety rap, and their mixtapes were great.
Listen to SH interviews from around that era. They say stuff like, "People think we can't make songs, well with this album we're going to prove we can make songs. We got emotional songs, a strip club song, etc." They had a thing they did very well (rappety rap) and then they tried doing another thing, which is cool, but they weren't very good at it, and part of the problem was they picked really bad production that didn't sound anything like the sounds they were going for on their mixtapes. You can tell when a rapper's inspired by the beat or not. Nobody was inspired on Welcome To: Our House. Joell's bars, in particular, were HORRIBLE.
Despite what the dumbass trolls say here, Eminem is one of the greatest rappers in the world, and I get why they would want to work with him, but his sound was not a good fit for them, and it's a shame they tried to get in Eminem's lane, instead of having Eminem get in their lane. Remember when Eminem smashed that Alchemist "Microphone" instrumental? Imagine if that verse was on the original "Microphone," off SH's (very good) debut album. And then compare that to the mediocre at best collab "Our House."
It's stupid as fukk Glass House got shelved, too. Sell them back the masters back and let them out of their contract, if you're not going to put out the music. SH got bitter at Shady / Interscope shenanigans and that splintered the group into what they are now.
I never realized how much Eminem was hated until I signed up on forums. Not just this one but many other ones really despise Shady.
