Lupe Fiasco Hits Joe Budden For That Vacant Slaughterhouse Spot

    Slaughterhouse is no more, but Lupe Fiasco is giving fans a glimmer of hope regarding their return. Although a reunion seems out of the question due to Joe Budden’s retirement, Lupe has thrown his hat into the ring to be the rapper-turned-podcaster’s replacement if the supergroup attempts a comeback.

    “Yo @joebudden Lemme get yo slaughterhouse spot,” he wrote on Twitter.

    Lupe has previously expressed his admiration for Slaughterhouse, praising the group during an appearance on The Breakfast Club in 2012. He also has experience as a member of a supergroup, teaming with Kanye West and Pharrell as part of Child Rebel Soldier. However, CRS never released a project together.

    Slaughterhouse officially disbanded in 2018 following Budden’s retirement and KXNG Crooked’s exit from the group. Their final release, the House Rules mixtape, dropped in 2014.

    Royce Da 5’9, Joell Ortiz and Crooked recently had a mini-reunion of sorts on Eminem’s Music To Be Murdered By, joining Slim Shady on the album cut “I Will.”

    1. This sounds like a weird clash of styles. Lupe has a much more sophisticated style than slaughterhouse. I can see him mixing with slaughterhouse content wise. Lupe is conscious, slaughterhouse was about slaughtering MCs. Lupe should form a group with black thought and rapsody. That would be fire.

    2. Yeah….. No… Slaughterhouse were comprised of street freestyler type rappers…..Lupe is far from that style of rapper.

    3. Lupe can fit any style, and a project would be more cohesive imo. Budden is my fav rapper, but I definitely wouldn’t mind hearing how Lupe would fit.

      1. Budden is your favorite rapper? SMH. I Gee sorry for you man. Don’t repeat that again, to anyone, ever. Hide that deep down inside.

          1. If he’s in the mood…that was the problem… he’s hard to work around and he’s kinda a bitch in the studio tho…

        1. I agree with you @ Oh no! I don’t know ANYBODY who said joe budden is their fav rapper! Dude need to get out more!?

    4. Lupe is a lyrical rapper….His style doesn’t mesh with Slaughterhouse who do wannabe lyrical white boy rap. That’s like putting Nas in Bone Thugs or something. Doesn’t mix….

        1. I think he means Slaughterhouse. And I wouldn’t call them “lyrical white boy rap”. They just rap by ability while Lupe is more of a story teller. Would be a meh mesh.

    5. Even though Lupe is very lyrical but he isn’t on their level content wise. I do wish Em and interscope just release their shelved album already.

    6. Besides Nas, Lupe.Fiasco is my favorite rapper, lyrically he can definitely hang with them but I don’t see him as a good fit, I’m pretty sure he was joking anyway, him and budden stay trolling each other….he should have done all city chess club back in the day, now that would’ve changed everything.

    7. OMG that would make my life. Slaughterhouse was my favorite group ever. Joe was by far the worst, he just couldn’t keep up with the other 3..Lupe would be the only one that hang with crook, Royce, and Joell.

    8. Eminem should replace Joe Budden that would be even better as long as he don’t have control of picking the music…don’t need another D12 sound. Eminem need more street bangers to go hard.

      1. No. A beef is one thing but highjacking his group after their album flopped on Shady would be a very bad look for everyone involved. And the reason I like Eminem is because he doesn’t try to sound street. Not everyone needs to sound the same.

    9. At first i imagined Lupe wouldn’t fit in, Then i realized recently all remaining Slaughterhouse members have evolved lyrically cociously and content wise. Royce on his new single overcomer and previous single, Black Savages., Crooked on Gravitas album and Joel on his Monday project. Truth is Lupe is a better lyricist than any slaughterhouse member, Pls do not argue if you haven’t heard every project from all 4 rappers in this discussion. The fact is lupe would have been too much for them to handle if this was a decade ago, but i have watched Royce and crook evolve tremendously. So this might work

      1. U nailed it IMO. Seems silly at first but actually would be a good mix with Lupe & the others elevating each other

    10. Lupe and Slaughterhouse are both lyrical as hell but in very different ways. It wouldn’t be a good match, the cadence and subject matters are too different. Personally I think Slaughterhouse should just continue onwards with three members. Just because Joe retired it doesn’t mean the group should die.

      1. Lupe is one of the best lyricist out there. I don’t think it would be a problem.. but somebody like Ransom or Planet Asia would be a better match but come to think of it maybe not Planet asia. but definitely Ransom or Saigon.

    11. who cares bums joining bums. Not like they will do anything in the rap game. Drake has the rap game by the throat. All these bums need a drake feature to be relevant.

      1. Dude you’re sucking dick hard, any member in slaughterhouse can out rap Drake , he needs ghost writersssss, bums???? I take it your rich or just a Drake stan fan , just go suck his dick already corn ball

      2. Drake is and never was a lyricist… he would get slaughtered by the remaining members of slaughterhouse.. your statement is obviously a trolling joke.

    12. I take it yall never listened to mood muzick 1-3.

      Lupe would be interesting. Content wise not the right fit.

      Locksmith
      Ras kass (wouldnt do it)
      Chino xl
      Elzhi

      Are better fits

    13. Joe Budden is a GOAT. Pump It Up some of the illest shit of the past two decades. Only Hovy Hov cocksuckers would deny it. Joe Budden the heir to Biggie’s throne (maybe Hopsin is 2nd)

    14. Lupe would need to change his whole vibe to fit Slaughterhouse. I would recommend Black Thought, Elzhi or Cyhi The Prynce.
