Fans eager for an update on an upcoming Slaughterhouse album were hit with grim news this week when New Jersey rhymer Joe Budden revealed that there is one particular album from Slaughterhouse that won’t ever see the light of day.
During his “I’ll Name This Podcast Later” podcast, the Slaughterhouse rapper revealed that a previously recorded album featuring unreleased tunes from the Hip Hop super-group won’t be made public.
To add even more salt to the wounds of Slaughterhouse fans, Budden revealed that the project features the best Joell Ortiz verse he’s ever heard in his life.
“That album’s never seeing the light of day … For all of you people that keep wanting a music update, here it is,” Joe Budden said. “That Slaughterhouse project, you’re not getting it … It’s some shit on there. Unfortunately, the best Joell verse that I have ever heard in my entire life is on this album that y’all are never gonna hear. That’s fucked up.”
Budden added that the project is “dark” and “depressing,” and is something even he wouldn’t want to listen to.
“I wanted to take a few of them records … The entire group was in such a dark space when we recorded all of that music,” he said. “It’s a very dark, depressing. I don’t even wanna hear any of that shit. I don’t even rap like that. I don’t wanna rap like that. We would have to record all new verses to put that project out.”
The rapper later provided additional clarification on his comments about the now-buried project, via Twitter.
“No, Joe Budden said THAT PARTICULAR SH ALBUM W 5 YEAR OLD VERSES is never coming out,” he tweeted in response to a news story about his Slaughterhouse album remarks.
Budden’s reveal serves as the heartiest update fans have received in regards to Slaughterhouse, who last dropped a studio album in 2012, given that the rest of the group has remained relatively silent when it concerns the group and any new music.
Last month, KXNG Crooked did make the following request on Twitter: “No more Slaughterhouse questions for me in 2017 ok?”
The West Coast MC added another twist to the story as he quoted our tweet, saying the “grim news” is perhaps “alternative facts.”

all the backpacker nerds will be super disappointed. serves em right, they don’t buy music anyway. this is why rappers like lil yachty, migos and uzi vert are popular now, because you old geezers complain about them but never buy your favorite irrelevant rapper’s music. and now, one of your cherished groups is shelving an album. boo fucking hoo!
Dudes gotta point…!
I bought that first salughterhouse album, the production was average at best, for one reason or another I never bothered to listen to their second album. Best thing slaughterhouse ever did was kill that “Death Of Autotune” beat at shade 45.
Die was the beat track off welcome to our house. Royce started with” im about that life so much that i might go touch my rifles butt and my dick jusy might go up” haha. Too bad tho, been looking for this album.
It’s crazy how you’re able to type that much all while cupping the balls and rubbing the shaft. You’re multitasking skills are next level.
I fux with these dudes but im really not pressed for an album by em so…it is what it is.
Bandcamp mu’fukka!!!
Joey cupcakes should find a alternate career . maybe janitor
Slaughterhouse’s street album “House Rules” is a dark album with depressing tones and I think it’s their best work to date. I would much rather hear that album than their poppish lite Eminem driven “Welcome to Our House” album.
Crooked basically already made this announcement on his “Alternative Fact’s” track, when he rapped:
“I’ve got another alternative fact before the beat stops
Raindrops, droptops
I’m glad Slaughterhouse album ain’t Detox”
… Well that’s disappointing.
But why though?
The way he describes it makes it sound amazing. Just Blaze executive produced, and dark depressing themes? It sounds classic to me. If only you didn’t have to have a hit single with incoherent mumble rap in order to get a release date nowadays.
Shady Records is holding Slaughterhouse hostage – just as they did D12, G-Unit, Obie Trice & 50 Cent… Very disappointing…
They never made the money back from their initial investment sadly. Too hard to motivate guys in their 40’s living in different states to keep it moving. Its a rap.
