While Eminem has been in the studio recording the follow-up to his last album Relapse, the project is not the only one he’s working on. Recovery is just one on a list of big projects the Detroit veteran is sharing with audiences. On Friday, Em revealed to BBC’s Radio 1 that he will finally be signing Hip Hop supergroup Slaughterhouse to Shady Records.
“We’re kinda trying to start the process of rebuilding our label, Shady Records,” Eminem said. “I’m sure I’ll be looking for younger talent coming up. There’s a new group we’re looking to sign, Slaughterhouse. But I don’t want to give anything away. We’re looking at a few [artists] now.”
The deal not only confirms speculations that arose after Joe Budden, Crooked I, Royce da 5’9″ and Joell Ortiz appeared with Em in Drake’s “Forever” music video, but it is also a move to rebuild Shady Records. The rapper said that along with the Slaughterhouse album, he may even go back to doing some production work.
“I think that record is going to be crazy and I think it’s going to be fun to make.” he told Tim Westwood. “And that’s where I might step back in and try to produce a little too.” The Slaughterhouse album has not yet been given a release date.
Lets be honest here, we all knew this was going to happen it was just a matter of when.
Em and Royce re-united, lets hear a bad meets evil 2.. maybe even another scary movie 🙂
SHADYHOUSE!
this is gonna be dope as fuck
SLAUGHTERHOUSE >>>>>> YOUNG MONEY
HELL ONE MEMBER COULD TAKE THAT WHOLE GROUP OUT!!!
LIL WAYNE = GAYEST OF ALL TIME FUCK THE DICKRIDERS!!!
See it’s shit like this that gets me. Why even bring up Lil Wayne at all in an article that has no relevance to him?
Pretty soon, we’ll be seeing an all out war between Handddddyyyyyyyyyy and Randddddyyyyyyyyyy! LOL
To the guy above me: Who the fuck cares. Stop encouraging these stupid fucks
yea randddyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy is handddyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy’s brother man. you both dnt kno what your talking about. wayne is a sick rapper, but you cant say hes the best at everything in hip hop. cuz hes not. dnt get me wrong hes still dope as fuck. but come on man.
U r out of your mind bro’. I believe lil W is ill and all, but have you ever heard a joell ortiz freestyle or mixtape? Have you ever heard Royce on that battle business?
I listen to wayne, got countless of his good music, but not because he is good means that u gatta say what doesnt make sence…
I mean stop it mehn
I co-sign that Weezy is garbage…Every last one of slaughterhouse will destroy Lil Weezy….I have heard Em on a drake song eat Weezy up like he wasnt part of the song….Weezy= overrated garbage…
bring Stat Quo back to Shady/Aftermath!!!!!!!
SO HE CAN SPEND ANOTHER 5 YEARS WAITING FOR A BOGUS RELEASE
FUCK U NIGG
Holy crap this wasn’t just speculation. F*CK YEAH!
Raw lyrics + Shady production = Something I need to cop!
I wonder when was the last time a revered underground artist/group broke into the mainstream…probably not since Mos Def and Talib Kweli?
I LOVVVVEEE Eminem, but his production is not that great
Slaughterhouse on Shady will change alot of things, I cant remember the last time MC’s as dope as Crooked I and Royce actually got a major label push behind them, If Slaughterhouse can succesfully sell records at interscope, we might just see the tides change, from all this retard rap thats out now to Lyrics actually counting for summin again…….Here’s hoping it works out
The rap audience has completely changed from the 80’s and 90’s where lyrics meant something…It is way too radio driven…The thing is, before rap was mainstream and on the radio, you had to find the music that was good and you liked all on your own, it wasn’t thrown in your face every day on top 10 lists…The thing is, the good music is still out there, just turn your radio off and find it….
@FOODSSTAMP313 Sry dude but most people who listen to radio music percieve it all to be good because they see pop stations like z100 as tools for filtering out bad music instead of advertising stations, which basically means it’s pay to play.
what would really be hot is if shady/aftermath just hopped one track together, produced by dr dre. that means you have banks, 50, game, slaughterhouse, eminem, all one one track. sounds like a classic to me.
anywho,
CHECK ME OUT. I PROMISE GREAT MUSIC. IT’S A PROMISE!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdylMPXtisY
I’m with ANON1. This guy obviously has Lil’ Wayne on his mind alot.
This is gonna be dope tho. I just hope the album sees the store shelf and not Interscope’s shelf…
FUCK ANON1!!
this mufukka don’t know what he talking bout
in this era, hip-hop is irrelevant without lil’ weezy
he is the benchmark, all other artists MUST be measured against him
Then go kiss him then….You sitting here lying about weezy when he hasnt sold more than 50, Jay-z or Eminem…Hell I will throw in Black Eye Peas…They are more sucessful than your boy…So you fail, you Pathehic liar….I dont care how you gas up Weezy…In real life he aint shit fuck boy….hahaha
NAS AND EMINEM MAKE A TRACK TOGETHER THAT WILL BE LIKE THE BIGGEST DAY IN HIPHOP HISTORY… THE TWO BEST RAPPERS ALIVE
imagine Jay and Andre on the same song with them two. that would be historical.
dude…. the first part of that is totally correct. bout em and nas together on a track. that would be dope. but they aint the best artists of all time. arguably two of the best lyrical artists of ALL OF HIPHOP. but i feel ya.
Nas is lyrical! i would i love to see Nas and Em on a track.
Nas & Em did do a track together, he just didnt rap on it. Idk if you’re familiar with “The Cross” from God’s Son, but Em produced that one.
@ITSIZZO
If by Jay you mean Jay-Z you are completely out of your mind! LOL Jay-Z aint even on the same level as Andre. Andre is a lyricist. Jay-Z is just a smart businessman. Wow lol, I bet your the kind of dude that went out and bought the blueprint 3 and american gangster lol.
Sorry man, Nas ain’t got shit on Crooked in the present, may-be illmatic Nas but no longer…..
How about another Royce and Em album? … part2?
love the idea
Yo yo this some whack ass shit crackaz. I hope yall eat a dick niggZ!
feel better now dude???
Just sign Royce and Crooked. Never mind the other two scrubs.
joey is the best you faggot
they all work together, sign the group…
Everytime Shadey/Aftermath has a big signing, they don’t do shit with them. Mobb Deep, M.O.P…. Slaughterhouse will go on the back burners watch.
I cant agree with what you r saying sompletely. MOP and Mobb Deep were only signed to G Unit.
Dont forget that 50, D12, Obie all came out with albums that all eventually went platinum. There is also Cashish tho, he was on shady but he never did come out successfully.
I share your sentiment of they maybe getting shelved, but I have a feeling that Em will be pushing this foward. And I believe that a Joell Ortiz solo album will definitely come out iether before or shortly after.
Let me know what you think
mobb deep & m.o.p were g unit artists
Fuck slaughterhouse! Em just sign Joell ortiz n kick the rest 2 da curb. The others had a shot @ mainstream deals n bombed. Joell ortiz has never gotten the shine he deserves.
aint noboby gonna listen to your dumb ass…Get the fuck outta here you lame ass nigga…
fuck r u krazy everyone on SH is shady material like they can actually keep up dumb ass!!! eminem is da verse killer put him at da end of ya song he rapes ya shit put him 1st n noone listens to da rest atleast SH can keep up lyrically
Actually if you knew anything, you would have known that Joell was signed to Aftermath and cuz Dre wasn’t dropping anybodys shit he got his release.
these bunch of faggot ships were giveing lil wayne! hint after hint so he could sign them to cash money\young money but weezy! didn’t give these faggots any attention…
so what they suppose to do?
the answer is simple,when u can’t roll with the greatest and number 1 u have to get low to number 2 or even lower…
these niggaz did everything so they could be part of that cash money empire which runs hiphop for years but fail,which also explain their sales…
they’re some flunkies who can’t sell 20k without weezy! i bet signing with eminem won’t help them sell 30k…
eminem want these niggaz so he could satisfy his pink ass,he can’t get full of that 5 d12 niggaz or stat’s shit he needs another 4 cocks in his ass…
since proof,eminem didn’t have a real black cock in his ass,all other nigggaz are some funny dudes not rappers….
plus eminem is lil wayne’s! fan and these ships are also lil wayne’s! fan so there’s no big diffrences between these broke ships and that white cunt eminem except for the $….
LIL WAYNE! IS DA GREATEST OF ALL DA TIME FUCK HATERS
Dude……………………………………………………………………………… Just stop, its not funny, it never was. 4real tho
what ever fuck boy…The only thing Lil Wayne is known for is kissing men…You see, you didnt pop that bullshit because you know that Lil Wayne is no where near as succesful as Eminem…So eat a dick you pussy mouth bitch…
shady (w)rapped circles round weezy FUCKIN baby
hip hop aint about black and white and wayne is not a rapper he even says so himself in a interview he gave he said (i cant rap, em just make a song wit me when it comes to rap i cant fuck wit him) talking about em so dont talk about shit if you aint got the facts
I thought Shone Jones was stupid….but u take the cake bro bro!…Lil Wayne is fucking WACK!!…had to take it ol’school on u bro…lol….I can name a gang of niggas that would smash his bitin ass!…ALL OF SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!……Fab….Lux……hell…it’s even a couple niggas on Grind Time that would give it to that faggot!!!….
Slaughterhouse…biters
SLAUGHTERHOUSEEEEEE
i wish nas and em did a track
i love nas but i think he has an incredible ego and he prob thinks shady is the only rapper in the game today that could beat him on a track so he prob won’t do it.
to the inbred hil-lbilly below me
mufukka stop dick-riding the honkey….he trailer trash just like you!!
somebody shoot handy, please

eminem is trash slaughthouse will flop just like tha d-12 bullshit cmon Em is a racist fareel!!
Chonsey….first off it’s “Slaughterhouse,” second, Slaughterhouse is WAY better than D-12, they aren’t even on the same radar. Third, If Eminem is such a racist…why is he the only white dude on his label?! AKA, SHUT THE F*CK UP!
i dont know if this is a good idea or not, only time will tell. I consider myself a fan and support all members whether solo, mixtape, or together as slaughterhouse. Im not going to buy their album just cause their signed to shady, i’ll buy it because of the music. So do us a favor and stop using marketing as a crutch for y certain albums dont sell, it doesnt mean that the music is bad or that the fans are brainwashed. People buy the music they like and what they are feeling at that time in there lives, and when u tell people what they should like or who’s cd they should buy because that’s who you feel is”real hip hop” than u become the brainwasher. The hype machine that pushes gucci mane is the same hype machine that will push slaughterhouse, they only care about “green”. The game hasnt changed, we as fan continue to be deaf, dumb, and blind
@YOUR STUPID
Slaughterhouse is ill, very gifted dudes, but for anyone that knows anything about D12 they know they are killers. No way you can possibly say that D12 aint on the same radar Slaughterhouse. D12 funny dudes, but they are slayers, dont take there humor lightly because they will tear any group out there an new asshole. We all hold Shady as one of the greatest, why do you think he chose to associate himself with D12 and not Royce when he had the chance?
D12 killers!? haha lolz
@ J90
shut up dude. Hip-hop critics in DX themselves said that the emcees in D12 are very skilled.
Want me to quote the fucking page?
the only one thats skilled was proof n unfortunately his life was taken early
So what you are telling me is aside from Proof, anyone of them bums are lyrical?
Should of just popped Westwood in his retarded fuckin’ face, prick.
year of the S L A U G T H E R H O U S E
fuck lil wayne fuck eminem fuck slaughterhouse……its soulja boys time…..the BEST RAPPER EVER
this guy up above me is a fuckin clown
IDIOT!!
SOULJA BOY…..YEah A ASS CLOWN……..
lmao
your a fruit just like soulja boy! bet you wear ya sunglasses indoors thinking you some shit! well you aint shit and neither is soulja boy
like I said before if they really do do this then don’t be wasting time with dr. dre beats, and don’t use em beat as a single, I like em beats but only when him or nas do it. get focus, jus blaze, and everybody else on the first album to do the beats cause all the tracks was hard hitting.
It’s a good move for a group of guys who collectively have a ton of talent. None of them could really hang solo, Buddens never jumped off like he was supposed to, n some of you Slaughterhouse fans prolly didn’t even realize how LONG Crooked been in the game. I digress tho, I hope for the best for these guys cause they all have really good talent. The one that will flourish to me is Royce.
i like this idea but replace joe budden i hate that fucking guy.the rest are top mcs but budden is a lame ass dude.
One Joey goes way too hard!! and Secondly hes the one who put the group together!
Crooked will lyrically kill just about anyone in the game right now, joell is just plain dirty, royce needs to get back on his bad meets evil shit, and joe is one of the realest and deepest artists out. it would be a MISTAKE to NOT sign them
what???…go lisen to the bar exam mixtapes from Royce,,Bar exam 3..Royce is killing it..top 3 best rapper doing it right NOW
yo, Bar Exam 3 was garbage. It disappointed me greatly. Royce def needs to reassess himself cause his raps right now sound kinda corny. He’s got great presence on the mic, but his lyrics are weaker than what I expect from him and the Slaughterhouse collective.
Joe Budden usually bores me, but for some reason i think he sounds good with Slaughterhouse. I don’t get why, but i guess he provides a good balance to the group.
Joell and Crooked I are simply dope as hell with whatever they drop.
LOL what a waste of money em…them bums would fit better on def jux or shit like that…their shit will go quadruple wood at best
Royce is leaving all these rappers behind,,,Royce >>>>>>>>LIL Wayne
@wtharri2 In the immortal words of Clay Davis, “Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiittttt”.
Crooked ripped Budden’s ass to pieces and Joell Ortiz tries too damn hard. He has that FAT JOE syndrome, where he just wants to force-feed his presence too much whether it’s in his delivery or his constant bk/hip hop advocacy and he was one of the many ill fated rappers to sign to AFTERMATH where his only task was being a featured ghostwriter on the DETOX album……whenever the hell Dre decides to release that.
And also Joell doesn’t have nearly the lyrical dexterity of the late, great Big Pun.
yo S.H. is the real deal nigga…. microphone, the one & killa’z is some of the illest music out right now. if you aint heard the tracks “microphone” & “killa’z” then you need to peep that shit son cause you missin some tru hiphop , know wut im sayin?
this should be dope…
just like this is dope…

PLEASE don’t screw this up. Let Slaughterhouse be them, but give them better production. Don’t sign them then they don’t release an album for 3 years then leave the label. I know that’s more Interscope then Shady Records but still
Correction: …that’s more of an AFTERMATH thinng
if em signs slaughterhouse, he should become a group member.
that way em can lead 2 groups.
d12, his homies from wayback.
and slaughterhouse, his lyrical goon squad.
5 man crew, royce, crook, joell, joe, and em. that would be murder on every track. i hope thats what the plan is.
em being in the group would increase visibility, and it would be ILL to see a guy that big, put himself out there and work with artists like that.
devils night is a classic. slaughterhouse with em, alc, and dre beats? game over for any other rap group not named wu tang.
i wanna see em all over the slaugherhouse record, itd motivate his fans to support it, and be a great test for him artistically. these guys deserve the sales.
royce and em finally back 2gether tho. hip hop fans around the world poppin bottles to that. thats a 2 man wrecking crew right there.
Nah, Em should definitely drop a guest verse and sign them onto Shady but he should never be a member of that group. Having an all-star cast doesn’t make a good group (The Firm anyone? How about the defunct Murda Inc. with DMX, JaRule and Jay-Z?). Chemistry is more important. D12 works for Em because of the shared sound, but Slaughterhouse is a different beast.
Look at it like this, how awkward would it have been if Em joined G-Unit?
Eminem would change the Slaughterhouse sound too much. Also the subject matter. Slaughterhouse talks underground style gutter/gangsta shit. Eminem would not work in that collective.
@Shone Jones….You’ve got to be on of THE DUMBEST people on this blog!…U must be a lil wayne fan?….How dare u even try to put Joell and Fat Joe in the same category!….and why u bullshittin Joell Is better than Pun!..Not taking anything from Pun…but c’mon son!…SLAUGHTERHOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Alright, I’ve seen people in this thread saying crazy things about Slaughterhouse that I just have to speak on:
1) Royce Da 5’9 is a very talented MC, but he is by no means the best. In my opinion, he’s limited by his subject matter. I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Royce song where he didn’t mention a gun. It’s the same “Gangsta Bravado” Schtick like every track. I think that he could do more…if he tried a little harder, he could be like Detroit’s Ras Kass. He’s dope but he needs to step his game up IMHO.
2) Joell Ortiz is dope, but anyone that says that he’s better than Big Pun is insane. I respect Ortiz’s talent, definitely, but you can’t compare him to Big Pun…Pun was a lyrical freak of nature.
3) I never understood what the big deal was about Joe Budden. The guy just never has impressed me that much. I have a bunch of friends who rave about him, and they give me his tracks to listen to, and i’m like “He’s just OK”. I’ve just never heard anything by him that made me go “WOW”…plus I tend to like him even less because he’s one of those guys that starts a bunch of drama for no reason (like Game does sometimes). I recognize that he does have some lyrical talent, but I’m not his biggest fan at all, and I don’t understand how people can say he’s the best. It might just be a matter of opinion, but I can think of dozens of MC’s that I think are better than him.
4) Crooked I is dope, but he is NOT better than Nas. I’m sorry. No disrespect to Crooked…I think he’s really talented, but someone in here said that he was better than Nas and I just thought that was silly. Someone said that he was better than current Nas, but I thought that on Nas’ last output (Distant Relatives) that he spit very thought-provokative lyrics.
5) As far as Eminem goes, his production is pretty hit and miss. Some are the tracks that he has produced have been pretty dope, others have been average. As far as Eminem’s rhyming skills, in my opinion, his style has gotten better, but his actual lyrics have gone downhill a bit every since he started gaining more & more fame. I miss SoundBombing II Eminem…he was really dope lyrically. Eminem’s one of those guys that has a style that’s so dope that he could make an entire song about doo-doo, and people would be like “Oh shit…this is the best song ever!!! Eminem’s the best rapper ever!!!”. LOL. In all actuality, lyrically, there are a lot of MC’s out there right now that are out-shining him. For example, Canibus’ verse on “Post Traumatic War Lab Stress” embarasses anything that Eminem has done in recent memory. I’m waiting to hear the Recovery, because I heard that he’s trying to come back to form, but we’ll have to wait and see. I like Em a lot…I just hope that he can get back to his old self. And I’d also like to see him tackle some different subject matter. The only time that he really gets deep on tracks is when he’s doing songs that are about his personal life. I’d like to see some really dope social commentary tracks from him in the future.
Ortiz on the free agent freestyle
“There’s was only one Big Pun Baby Boy!”
Ortiz and Em on the same track = Instant Classic…No question
signing slaughterhouse to prep them for a major release is like building a mall that is comprised of walgreens, modells, roy rodgers, and a.j. wright
FUCK you money custard…..U dickhead FAGGOT!
Ya’ll Krazy to think an Em & Slaughterhouse record isn’t going to be EPIC kid….
– Wow Money Mustard, Really!!!… ah never mind go back to listening to your soulja boy songs.
– Culture Clo Co. I respect your views on each of the members, but come on…. please give me a reason why you think it’s silly to say Crook is better than Nas???
Word for word, line for line, story for story he is equal or better…. Better because when did you ever hear a NAS joint that made you speechless when you heard the punchline???
I bet if Crook was a East coast cat it would be a close and shut case as to who’s the sickest MC in the game.
For all you cats thinking I’m D-riding Crook & Slaughterhouse, don’t be silly…. only a D-rider would think that.
It’s all about the words that make up the story for me man…. and if you only heard a snippet of Crooks & SH songs and didn’t think it was MCing at its finest (in recent years) than there’s nothing more to say to you.
Long live the MC
Yo Slaughterhouse is trash …there last album was garbage, why everyone on there nuts….WTF em
U mama is trash….We still like her. SO give SLAUGHTERHOUSE that love, U little COCKBOY!
Yo how in the FUCK!! could u possibly say Slaughterhouse is trash???? I can almost gaurentee you listen 2 str8 up garbage dont you ?? answer me ?? Lil wayne and all this autotune shit. Your one of the hip hop fans that should fall in a pool of piss. Your the reason hip hop is a soft piece of shit now, Real hip hop is Eminem Slaughterhouse Jadakiss and a FEW others.
