Slaughterhouse Addresses Hypothetical Battle With Black Hippy

    During a recent appearance on MTV’s Rap Fix Live, Slaughterhouse members were asked about a hypothetical cypher battle against Black Hippy

    “Say you guys were matched up against Black Hippy in a cypher,” Rap Fix asked Slaughterhouse, “And you guys would just have to Rap Battle against each other, do you think they would stand a chance at beating you guys?” 

    Crooked I explained what that scenario might look like.

    “It would be eight emcees going for theirs,” Crooked I said. “People are gon’ to say what they’re gon’ say. As soon as that song comes out, you’re gonna have comments on the Internet like, ‘This dude served that dude.'” 

    Rap Fix asked Crooked I a more general question around the topic. 

    Do you honestly believe there’s a crew that can serve your crew?” Rap Fix asked.

    “No, but let me tell you something,” Crooked said. “That’s not a shot. I really appreciate what they do, but as a rapper, I feel like I’m supposed to believe that when I get on the court that nobody can see me. That’s just what I’m supposed to do, but that doesn’t stop me from being a fan of other great lyricists.” 

    Royce Da 5’9 also addressed the question, highlighting what he believes are stylistic differences between Slaughterhouse and Black Hippy. 

    “I don’t think we pair up as easy,” Royce said. “They do different things. I don’t feel like we’re in the same lane. I think we get compared to them because we’re crews. But I’m not so sure that me and ScHoolboy could really go at each other. With what he does versus what I do, it’s not really the same thing, so it would come down to a matter of preference. .  

    Royce also said he would like for a Slaughterhouse-Black Hippy collaboration to come to fruition. 

    Slaughterhouse was at the show to announce a Battle Rap reality series, Road to Total Slaughter, which is set to pit eight Battle Rap emcees against one another. Read more about this announcement here

    In 2012, Joe Budden was asked about how he would feel about a Black Hippy-Slaughterhouse collaboration. Ab-Soul spoke about this as well in 2012. In that interview, Soul praised Slaughterhouse members as lyricists. In 2013, Crooked I addressed Joell Ortiz’s response regarding Kendrick Lamar’s “Control” verse. In that interview, Crooked also spoke about a potential Black Hippy-Slaughterhouse collab

    1. Wtf are these niggas talkin bout? Budden is wack and emo shit getting rejected by Tahiry. He a joke. Crooked aint lyrical, Joell not good. Royce the only one thats nice. These niggas would get smoked by BH.

      1. You can’t be serious. The fact that you said Crooked I isn’t lyrical automatically makes your opinion invalid. As much as I love Black Hippy and I do think they make better music , they can’t touch Slaughterhouse lyrically.

    2. Slaughterhouse are better pure spitters than them as a whole. Schoolboy Q is not better lyrically than anyone in Slaughterhouse. Neither is Jay Rock, though he has his moments. Ab-Soul touching them is a stretch too. And Isaiah Rashad, he can spit, but I’ve yet to be blown away, then again he’s new. Kendick is arguably on par or nicer than many of the dudes in Slaughterhouse.

      That said, on average Slaughterhouse are better spitters. Better overall musicians is a different thing cause I’d rather hear a Schoolboy Q album than a Crooked I album.

      But yeah, they should collab on some “Triumph” shit, it would be great for hip hop.

    3. let’s see…

      CROOKED I – beast KENDRICK LAMAR – beast
      JOE BUDDEN – semi-beast SCHOOLBOY Q – swag rapper
      JOELL ORTIZ – beast JAY ROCK – dope
      ROYCE DA 5’9 – beast AB-SOUL – over-the-head dope

      I just SH for the win but TDE fans won’t let that happen… it’s NOT about who’s the better.. it’s about who has the most dickriders.. fin

    4. Slaughter House would win. They have better Chemistry as a crew and don’t bitch about when other ppl talk about other members in the crew more than others. I think too many ego in Black Hippy would be their undoing.

    5. Slaughterhouse are better at spitting. Black hippy are better at making music. I’d give slaughterhouse the edge

    6. Anyone who has listened to that nigga crooked i know that he alone is enough to take on the whole black hippy crew

    7. Let’s see

      Lyrics: tie
      Flow: black hippy
      charisma: black hippy
      song making ability: black hippy

      black hippy >>>>>>> SH

      1. You lost when u said BH has the edge when it comes to flow. Slaughterhouse are way better with flow, especially crook his technical game is insane

    8. yall crazy. If you say anybody from House Gang is wack you obviously dont know anything about hip-hop or lyricism!

    9. until I saw the draft which was of $4634 , I didn’t believe …that…my neighbours mother was like realie bringing home money in there spare time on their apple laptop. . there uncles cousin has been doing this less than twenty two months and just took care of the debts on their apartment and got a new Audi Quattro . view website… http://www.Fb39.COm

      Funny how we’re the so called editors getting paid a great salary and you’re still a lowly, minimum wage drone.

    10. Slaughterhouse.. Without a doubt. Black hippy only got a better ear for beats n can craft an album better as individuals. But slaughter as a crew can’t be touched. Smh at all these people (who may actually be just one troll) posting comments calling SH wack without backing up their statements.. That’s jus hate. Which other crew could go a whole 14 minutes spitting straight fire? Which rapper go’s at a freestyle for 7 minutes like my nig crooked I spitting raw punchline after raw punchline. Slaughterhouse

    11. In a battle SH wins, it’s more their forte. SH first album was hot, second album I was not so much into, I have hope for the 3rd album. Would like to see a black hippy album and see how it comes together.

    12. DAMN SLAUGHTAHOUSE AND BLACK HIPPY ARENT ANYTHING TO SCOFF ATE BUT THEY WOULDNT STAND A DAMN CHANCE ON STAGE AGAINST SNOOP AND DRE THESE YOUNG NIUGGIASE BE REPPIN HELLA HARD AND SHITS BUT THEY BETTR BOW DOWN BEFORE THE ORIGINAL INFLUENCE DETHROW AND SNOOP LION!!!

    13. Black Hippy has a lot more natural chemistry. Man for man Slaughterhouse is probably nicer and would win a “battle”, but Black Hippy is greater than the sum of their parts, and I am certain if they made an album it would trash anything SH could do/has done. Black Hippy consists of better artists even if they aren’t necessarily better rappers. They can craft songs and albums better and have better ears for beats.

    14. Black Hippy.. Without a doubt. rappers like kendrick can paint pictures with their lyrics, they can say a lot of things with very few words. these trash from SH rhyme for the sake of rhyming

    15. Blackhippy are better pure spitters than them as a whole. Royceis not better lyrically than anyone in Blackhippy. Neither is Joell, though he has his moments. royce touching them is a stretch too. And crooked, he can spit, but I’ve yet to be blown away.

      1. U took some other niggaz comment and flipped the names around. Anyway I strongly disagree, my nigga crook will take em all out on his own!

    16. “I don’t think we pair up as easy,” Royce said. “They do different things. I don’t feel like we’re in the same lane. I think we get compared to them because we’re crews. But I’m not so sure that me and ScHoolboy could really go at each other. With what he does versus what I do, it’s not really the same thing, so it would come down to a matter of preference. .

      Well said!

    17. LET’S BE ALL THE WAY CLEAR. Black Hippy, in their own right and for their age, are dope. BUT ON NO LEVEL. FROM THE HEAVENS TO THE DEVIL, COULD THEY BAR FOR BAR DEFEAT SLAUGHTERHOUSE. Kendrick, one on one can’t beat ANYONE in SLAUGHTERHOUSE. They are too technically and socially aware. As Emcees. Kendrick is abstact and I love it! He reminds me of a young 3 STACKS, but the thing about abstract is that you can get lost in it, as to where, if they tried to go against ANYONE in SLAUGHTERHOUSE, they’d get that asshole ate out. They make sense fluently more. Debates????lol

      1. Slaughterhouse is boring as fuck. At least each member of Black Hippy has their own style, Royce and Crook sound exactly alike, and all dem niggaz rap about the same shit.

        I had and still have high expectations for them, but yo all 4 members can’t be on every single song together, that shit is wack as fuck. And another thing stop listening to Eminem and getting beats from that nigga, yall niggaz put your money together and get the whole shit done by Alchemist.

      2. DK is right, sorry ds but your argument is based on style over substance when it comes down to techniques SH will eat BH all day, we’re talking strictly about spittin and to be honest BH sound alike too, if it wasn’t for the videos we wouldn’t know who’s who except for Jay Rock. People were familiar with SH before they hooked up they are the next best thing to the 4 Horsemen which never happened sadly enough. Overall they’re both good crews but it’s really apples and oranges.

    18. I don’t think anyone in BH can go bar to bar SH. Although they don’t have as much fame, does not mean that they are not capable. Every one SH has way more experience then BH. That alone is enough to make a valid decision.

    19. In a cypher I’d say slaughterhouse. As far as an album? Black hippy of course. I’d put that black lip bastard joint from bh over any sh joint.

      1. Black Lip Bastard suffers with Schoolboy Q’s verse that starts hard and then goes downhill from there, Jay Rock with the save at the end. Put that up against We are Crazy from the SH DJ Drama mixtape, or Onslaught when they had Nino Bless or Shady 2.O.

    20. Here it is:
      Royce Da 5’9 vs Schoolboy Q
      Crooked I vs Jay Rock
      Joe Budden vs Kendrick Lamar
      Joell Ortiz vs Ab-Soul

      1. Joe Budden vs. Kendrick? Joe would start rapping about his ex ex gf on some emo shit. Crooked isn’t my favorite but he’s the only one that has a chance of keeping up with Kendrick in a battle.

    21. Black Hippy has greater individual talent. not just talkin about Kendrick but damn near everyone of them can put out a good solo project. Slaughterhouse, not so much. except for Crooked, everyone else is hit or miss. in the end though I think SH would have more bars, if we go at it on a bar-to-bar competition

    22. Slaughterhouse would win, it aint even something to think about. Black hippy’s style of rap is not even fit for battling. Slaughterhouse would murder these niggaz man it aint even a debate. Technically and lyrically. It aint even something to think too hard about.. Bh are dope though

    23. And I’m sure the lames will say something about Joe Budden… LMAO! Go ahead and test that man in a battle. Go listen to the Mood Muzik mixtapes! You lames probably just listen to what the radio force feeds you… SMH!

    24. Slaughterhouse would destroy Black Hippy in a battle, but in terms of who makes better music at this point I’m going w/ Black Hippy.

    25. Slaughter House would win easy because they are more raw spitters as a whole. Black Hippy make better songs though.

    26. Slaughterhouse is cool, but I can’t ever understand why they think they’re better than everyone. Dem niggaz can’t even make one good song as solo artists and especially not as a group LOL. Are you fucking serious with Welcome to My House bullshit, my nigga I would rather listen to Miley Cyrus Bangerz over that shit 100% serious.

    27. the name itself slauterhouse, plain clear idiots dont want to feed their kids, only interest to bring other rappers down. dont mix with pigs BH do ya thang f**k what they looking at, in the words of of uncle cube.

    28. I been dying to see these two groups go at it. ever since Joell came at Kendrick on that Control remix, I was hoping for an all out Slaugtherhouse vs Black Hippy war. I’m a huge fan of both crews
