Crooked I Says Slaughterhouse Will Elevate Hip Hop, Speaks On Recording

    As Slaughterhouse, the group is preparing to drop their Shady debut. Crooked I, who recently released Psalm 82:V6, spoke about the new album, what he feels it will do for Hip Hop and how the group records “like a well oiled machine.” 

    “I can’t wait until the people hear this,” he told DJ Skee of the new Slaughterhouse album. “I already know what it’s gonna be for Hip Hop. I’m not talking about Billboard charts. I’m talking about what it’s gonna do for Hip Hop. It’s gonna take Hip Hop to a whole ‘nother level.”

    On being in a group, Crook explained that he has had to learn humility. 

    “You learn humility,” he expressed. “It can’t just be about you and you go from being a leader of many to a follower of few. It’s a life experience. It’s a great thing though. We’re like a well oiled machine when we get together. We don’t play…It’s beautiful, man. It’s been a great experience.”

    The video to the interview can be seen below.

      1. 1st E.J made the corny joke and y’all thought it was funny by following like sheep… I don’t get the mentality of haters, go listen to Self Made Vol. 2… nah oh that’s why you hate because you REALLY want Detox & welcome to: Our House to drop

    1. shis group is corny too any real hip hop head out there. elevate hip hop it will not im sure the production alone is goin to sound like the rest of the bullshit everybody else is doing songs over (young money,lmfao,basically 1994 n syne and backstreet boys beats) a clue too all you eminem fans hip hop has always been around turn the fuckin radio off and get in touch. id rather hear hrsmn,EMC,scienz of life crew,strong arm,polyrhythemaddicts,WU,D.I.T.C WIT NO FAT JOE,hiero,bootcamp,def squad so on etc new booty rap fans dont no any thing about any of that. crooked i is the only one credible but cause he fucks wit them he is corny the other 3 wak rappers in the group need to just stop. p.s. tell rass kass to get eminem dick out his mouth fuckin clown ass nigga you are replacable

      1. just as dr dre says..heres another ‘semi-super expert’ who always tries to redefine hip hop from its infancy. you mention ditc and no fat joe.. you must have never heard fat joes first album. i like the hip hop artists you mentioned though. music production has evolved significantly in hip hop. that doesnt mean there arent wack producers out there like lex luger. but some people love lex. one mans garbage is another mans treasure.

      2. as long as its an expert opinion compared to yours which doesnt even count. oh and tell dre to do his own beats and stop putting his name on everybody elses if you know him so well. please turnn your radio off and get a perspective first before you comment

    2. 5TH OF FUCKING NEVER IS WHEN THIS TURD DROPS

      YA’LL WANNA SEE SOMETHING DROP WAIT TIL JOELL GETS DONE WIPING OUT WHITE CASTLE THAT ** SHIT ** IS NASTY

    3. Lets be honest, nobody is checking for slaughterhouse. A group of neverwas that form like voltron to create one mediocre average rapper..meh!

      1. You obviously just listen to the bullshit non lyrical, meaningless songs that are out there on the radio or made by Gucci man… Slaughterhouse is a lyrical beast machine. They have word play that your favorite “rapper” couldn’t even possibly comprehend. Stop dumbing down your music and learn some shit from it. Scrub.

      2. Joell has BREASTS, yes, otherwise using too many words (not even big or inventive words, just a lot of dull ones) in every verse, every garbage ‘song’ doesn’t make you ‘lyrical’…

        It means you don’t know when the shut the fuck up.

    4. crooked need to keep being solo and stop lyin to himself about the glory of this album its going to be a MAINSTREAM in the club and gun frontin type shit.they are seriously overrated for real

      1. They haven’t been around long enough to be over rated you dumb ass. As soon as someone hears a popish beat by slaughterhouse they instantly don’t listen to the lyrics. sad

    5. FUCKING CORNBALL…

      CROOKED WAS THE ** ONLY ** ONE OF THESE BUMS WITH ‘POTENTIAL’…

      JOELL IS WHINING FAT FUCK, UNLISTENABLE… ROYCE IS BORING DRUNK AND EM’S GUILT TRIP… BUDDENS IS AN EMO HAS-BEEN…

      ** MAYBE ** CROOKED COULD HAVE A HOT SOLO BUT ALL THIS LAUGHTERHOUSE NONSESE IS STRAIGHT ASS

    6. I’ve noticed that people are REALLY scared by Slaughterhouse and look to hate whenever the opportunity arises.

      1. yes we ‘frightened’ to death they such ‘scary’ ‘lyrical’ ‘monsters’

        no asshole we’re tired of the bullshit hype 4 x Zero Soul Bums = Zero

        what’s your favorite LAUGHTERHOUSE song?

        A: there is none!!

        there’s only variations on which is the fucking worst according to the horrible beats and fat fuck Joell laughing at his own idiot ‘punchlines’

      2. hmm.. sound off,lyrical murderers,microphone,pray,cut you loose,raindrops,killaz,onslaught 1 and 2,slaugterhouse,warriors,move on, everybody down.. theyre all dope songs..but it seems like slaughterhouse tag teamed your mother if you think otherwise

      3. What! and Weezy is lyrical???? WTF This is the last part of his verse from B.o.B’s Strange Clouds:

        My nigga, all day, all night, half pipe
        I dive in that pussy, yeah I belly flop, I jackknife and shit
        And tell my homies that I say its a party
        Got that tech for technical difficulties
        Im top dog, you top ramen, Im top dog
        Piru, gangsters, outlaws

    7. “I already know what it’s gonna be for Hip Hop. I’m not talking about Billboard charts. I’m talking about what it’s gonna do for Hip Hop. It’s gonna take Hip Hop to a whole ‘nother level.”

      You see that’s what people/haters don’t get! It’s all about Hip Hop for these guys not selling there souls for good sales and I don’t get how they get hate for that…

      1. that track my life was a fail. i know it was the label that probably forced that track upon them, but it still sucked. i know they are better than that. looking forward to the rest of the album

      2. The label (Eminem) aint forcing them to do anything, they just wanted to have fun and make a track that would get them publicity, and considering it is their biggest hit so far and the music video has only been around for a few days I’d say they somewhat accomplished it.

      3. compared to other tracks they have released..its not their best. i had a poor choice of words. i hope they get whatever publicity they can.

    8. I get why they hate… If YMCMB MMG BBR signed Slaughterhouse they would be all over their dicks saying “see you can’t diss us now, we have real lyricists” y’all just jealous!

      1. LAUGHTERHOUSE ** ALWAYS ** SUCKED DIPSHIT

        EM’S PITY FUCK ISN’T MAKING HEADS CHECK OUT THEIR PREVIOUS CRAP IS IT? UHHHHHHH…

        NOW THEY’VE BEEN HYPED TO DEATH, TRIED EVERY ‘TRICK’ TO SELL OUT AND HEADS ** STILL ** AIN’T BUYING IT

        WHY THE FUCK YOU THINK INTERSCOPE SHELVED THIS CRAP

        BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT CAN’T EVEN SELL 15,000!!!

    9. Catch-22: If Slaughterhouse sold of 500k in the first week and still have a dope album haters say (Oh you see they sold out) they sell less than 50k but still have a dope album haters say (see we ride YMCMB MMG BBR dicks all day!)

      Either way it’s gonna be a dope album

    10. 5 (Murder by Numbers) THE NUKE DROPS NEXT WEEK:

      Producer

      Dr. Dre (exec.), Hit-Boy, Boi-1da, Alex da Kid, Havoc, Just Blaze, Jim Jonsin, Symbolyc One, AraabMuzik, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Drumma Boy, Swizz Beatz, Scoop DeVille, Jake One, Sap Da Beat Man

    11. Crooked I has been in the game since 98 and has not released 1 solo album. That’s 14 years! Stop talking shit about what this album is going to do for hip hop and let the music speak for itself.

      1. 14 years, no album and still has a core fanbase and he’s still young. Slaughterhouse might not sell as much as other rappers but they will be able to live of this shit for a long time. Stop hating, respect their grind you ignorant 14 year old asshole, i-lick-cum-face ass having motherfucker.

      2. @ Karol…typical groupie behaviour with your immature insult. I made a perfectly valid point. A guy who has struggled to put out albums his entire career is talking about this new album changing hip hop. That just sounds stupid. And I paid hard earned money to buy their first album so FOH with that hater shit.

    12. Man the tracklist and artwork better drop soon so we know it’s defiantly dropping!

    13. Crooked I ssuuttx2 cob is the best along with slaughterhouse. I really hope people get the word out about these dudes they are truly talented & need to be pushed to the for front to show all of these lame acts that hip hop needs to be about lyrics & skills just as it’s been for years. Not this kids bop music wack garbage that people be making out the wood work. Crooked I is that dude, too real & such a great MC.

    14. elevate it how? it’s a figurative mountain of shit true but literally? Whining Joell might be a whale on the beach but his bloated belly and man tits ain’t that high.
