With Joe Budden’s media career in full swing, Lupe Fiasco recently took it upon himself to spearhead a campaign in efforts to keep Hip Hop supergroup Slaughterhouse thriving under his leadership and lyricism.
In a recent interview with HipHopDX, Royce Da 5’9 flatlined the idea by simply stating, “It’ll never happen” and offered up clear-cut reasoning.
“No one will ever replace Joe,” he explained adding, “no one can replace anybody from Slaughterhouse.”
Lupe Fiasco Hits Joe Budden For That Vacant Slaughterhouse Spot
The Allegory creator clarified that Lupe’s skills weren’t being called into question. It was the aesthetic of the original group that would be jeopardized.
“If anything, that’s elevating Lupe to where he should be. He’s no ‘group replacement guy.’ He’s great. He’s not just an MC, he’s a ‘master.’ So it takes on a completely different form because you have somebody who’s personality traits something totally different, has completely different characteristics outside of the booth and that’s not a replacement to Joe. That’s something completely different. They’re two totally different kinds of rappers and people. So that’s not a swap.”
After getting wind of the interview, Lupe humorously went to Twitter to caption the iconic Crying Jordan meme with “Man y’all… @Royceda59 eloquently said hell to the nah to my request to replace @JoeBudden in slaughterhouse…”
He followed up with a metaphorical résumé: “But I got more bars than Bourbon Street meets Daytona Beach and put in work like the President of Russia…..”
Slaughterhouse disbanded in 2018 after releasing two studio albums.

Lupe fell tf off and those twitter bars were weak af. Stay stuck in 2007, skaterguy rap nerd
ig u didn’t get the put in work part. putin do u kno who that is go Google sumthin dumbass
@TJ – Lupe is that you? Your bars were basic af lollll
I like lupe, but that Putin bar, was not it.
The group sucks! Joe Budden sucks! Lupe sucks! All a bunch clown sucks in the rap game. No one even listen to their music. Complete trash!
You’re an idiot lol
One must never forget that Lupe Fiasco’s vehemently anti-semitic.
Thats cause hes gay af lol
Lupe is welcome to join the migos. No cap!
And that’s why slaughterhouse could never be a successful rap group. They are better off making solo music. Lupe would honestly make that groups popularity EXPLODE!
Lupe my favorite rapper but I have to agree with Royce. Lupe’s style doesn’t fit the content nor the look that Slaughterhouse presents. But bars wise he’s an upgrade from Budden
Hopsin would make a better addition if him and Crooked aint beefin
I agreed …..Hop likes to slaughter
President of Russia just rides around in a horse shirtless. He needs to put in work like a common resident of Prussia.
But even then how’s he gonna “Slaughter”? With flourishing concepts and inspired evocation? As a Lupe Stan I gotta think he’s messing around here creating buzz…
put in work – Putin work, president of Russia. That is all.
Now I see it. A step above my own little wordplay.. Lupe the master
That President of Russia line obviously flew over your head
Apparently it did — I stand isolated ._.
I mean it wasn’t the greatest line…but you completely missed that one huh buddy? As a Lupe “stan” you should be a little embarrassed
That was bad and I feel bad.
As I’m listening to Mural
Dumb and unwise move by Royce and the gang. Lupe Fiasco and his skill level would instantly raise their stock value overnight
Can you read??? Do you know anything about them? If you did, you would know why Royce is saying that and why none of them can’t be replaced….
Lupe is a lyrical master, but not sure if he would have been a match. Lupe needs a group with someone like P.Monch and others like them.
Pharaoh/Lupe/Common/Black Thought should be the new super group
Nah take washed Common out. He out here promoting Microsoft to replace God and humans. Replace Common with No Malice, Phonte or Blu.
Drool. Just imagine. To hear the four of them on a project would be nothing short of incredible. Next question would be who would you get to produce it? Would you pick one producer to do the whole project or a few different producers?
Royce said that because not because Lupe isn’t good enough, but because Lupe would be too righteous to jump on some tracks. However, not every member was on every song and there were some joints where a member would get outclassed to the point they were better off not on it. But Lupe wouldn’t fit their vibe in person just because he comes off more “disciplined”. Royce is seeing it from multiple angles where Lupe is just concerned about the rhyme aspect. But “Sunshine” was about Lupe G.T.D “kinda crowded in here would you care to blow it, she said yeah”
How can Royce decide anything. I thought the group is Marshall’s group.
Joe and Royce started the group, not mathers
The only people who think that’s Marshall’s group are the stans who think hip hop begins with Em. Joe started the group, ergo, replacing him is akin to replacing Phife in Tribe
Lupe is wack. His first 2 albums were good. Now he fucking sucks. He doesn’t belong in Slaughterhouse!!!!!
Nigga you wack. Like Royce said Lupe is a master. Espcially if you think Tetsuo was wack. Foh lame
Huge Lupe fan but just got around to listening to Drogas Wave recently. That album is a fucking classic. I would give him 3 classic albums and 1 really damn good album in Tetsu.
You ain’t gotta entertain this idiot Bruhstopplaying…. Lupe is over his head metaphorically…if he think Lupe sucks it’s because he wishes that Lupe would DUMB IT DOWN!
Lupe would breath life back into slaughter house.
I agree
Who cares? Add lupe to sell maybe 10 more album sales. Lmao. Get a drake feature or get the fk out the rap game you bum ass rappers. Drake has the rap game by the throat.
Real MCs don’t have ghost writers….. drops the mic….
Drake doesn’t run rap, you utter clown. Nice attempt at trolling, but Royce, Crooked and Joell would run rings around Drake with their eyes shut. Anyone with any kind of sense knows this…
Lmaoo real spit. No one listening to no slaughterhouse in 2020 Lmfaooo stupid old heads I swear. Drake outsells all of them on one album. Ouch
“If you go platinum it’s got nothin to do with luck
It just means that a million people are stupid as fuck”
Yo… Lupe?… jus get ya own group together ?of the Dopest MC’s u can find?and jus go fa the Belt??I’m jus sayin?To Be The Best?U gotta Be The Best?Be Great
Lupe- Black Thought- Yaasin Bey- Kendrick Lamar
Lupe- Kid Cudi- Mick Jenkins- Denzel Curry
Lupe- jay elec- yaasin bey-
Good explanation–Joe is the founder of the group, and cannot be replaced. lol at Lupe breaking out the crying Jordan meme
The only 2 emcees besides Eminem. That are even capable lyrically to be in Slaughterhouse in my opinion is Chino XL and MC Juice. They have the skills to possibly out rap any of the guys on Slaughterhouse. Crooked I and Chino XL have a freestyle together on the wake up show. MCJuice actually beat Eminem at a freestyle battle. At 97 rap Olympics. Also had numerous other battles where he was untouchable. He can also write songs. Chino XL can put multi syllables rhymes together better than most people in the world. If I had a choice. In my opinion. I would put both of them on Slaughterhouse not as replacements. Joe Budden is an incredible emcee. His flow is impeccable. Besides you can never replace anybody in the world. Those guys are family to each other. As far as Lupe goes he’s OK. I don’t his flow to be nowhere near these guys. Twista is a way better emcee than Lupe. But I don’t think Twista is a good fit for Slaughterhouse.
Chino and crooked also have a collaboration on a tech n9ne song sickology 101
Crook and Tech are 2 of my favorite rappers but God damn did Chino XL kill them with his verse.
Yea but most ov his songs suck he has yet 2 make a classic album and MC Juice I just big him up 4 the rap olympics 20+ yrs. Ago i wanna hear more then syllables thats just one aspect ov rap.Thats why Pac,Nas, Andre 3000, and even black thought remain my favorite they all well rounded mcs and all have more then 1 classic album. They are all great songwriters and especially Pac touch on all different topics in the music. I rather see Kurupt in Slaughterhouse then Chino XL but that will never happen we all know slaughterhouse is just uh off shoot ov kurupts dreamteam group The Four Horsemen
Why do you type like you failed every spelling test in elementary school?
Shutcho dumb ass up. Stuck in 2001. Chino stay rushing to catch up to the beat and he didn’t make good MUSIC. Multi syllable rhymes don’t mean shit if the music is ass. Hip Hop didn’t start in private school. Tired of artsy fartsy hip hop heads
MC Juice beat Eminem in 97 at the Scribble Jam Festival in Cincinnati
Joe Budden made the group look corny. They could use another lyrical beast like Lupe.
Royce, Joel and Crooked: raps about groupies
Lupe: raps about groupthink
Shit wouldn’t work
Man people too serious, it’s obvious Lupe just joking around. Y’all need to go meditate. Ask Lupe he invented Meditation.
humor meets truth
Lmaooo slaughterhouse ain’t selling NO records haha stoooooop it. Joe budden?! You mean pump it up joe budden?! You got 4-5 dudes who got “bars” for days but can’t even outsell mumble rapper future at ANYTHING! Lmfaoo. Slaughterhouse only get looked at because of they slave master em. Just stop old heads
Outselling Future is only important to fans who want to listen to what’s popular. That’s it. All 4 of the slaughterhouse members would run cirlcles around future when it comes to actually rapping. Maybe you should listen to what you think sounds good instead of listening to the songs with the highest play count. It’s not a popularity contest, it’s a personal choice of what your ears are hearing so why would you pick who to listen to based off popularity.
This attitude is why your generation makes garbage music with no longevity. No respect for the foundation or the art form and motivated by profit only
You new weak mentally niggas live other slow and wack music! You are definitely to stupid to keep up with actually Barz! You idiots need retard Barz and easy melodies to keep up with! You dumb fools are why we all these Lil’ whatever’s and of course future : the idiot who uses audiotune because he like rest of us are simpletons! These are idiots chosen by the white man, in my JCole voice dumbass! To make sure you fools stay fools! Listen to some Kendrick to damn moron!???
You new mentally weak niggas love other slow mfs and wack music… I meant ? I’m driving to work like your generation doesn’t understand! My bad on the bad sentence structure ???
Joe budden never was nice on the mic ? jus sayin he definately should keep his podcast career going And lupe couldn’t tell u 1 of his songs lol
Joe was nice but **** buddens greedy @$$. just go with the 3 members. game isn’t over because Joey took his ball and went home crying
slaughterhouse failed because nobody listens to them individually at a large scale so why would putting them together sale?get a dream team like j.cole,drake,Em,Kendrick,..then you will have sales.
