Joe Budden Says Slaughterhouse Has Not Signed With Shady Records

    There has been speculation for over a year that Eminem’s Shady Records was going to ink the lyrical supergroup Slaughterhouse to a deal. Joe Budden, who has been the most forthcoming about the situation, told MTV that the deal is still not done.

    “The deal is not done. If everything goes according to plan, [then] hopefully. [It’s] too premature for me to speak on,” said Budden. In April Royce told fans that the deal was a week from being done, obviously that was not the case. In late October Budden verified the deal wasn’t done, but did give the album a tentative release date. Until the ink the is dry, the questions will keep coming.

    “I’ve been answering that same question for a … year and change. Maybe ever since the Drake “Forever” video … when Slaughterhouse was standing with Eminem, I’ve been answering Eminem questions,” he said. “Eminem is a whole ‘nother entity, the guy’s nominated for 10 Grammys.”

    Budden, who teamed up with his former nemesis Saigon, went on to talk about Em’s dedication to Hip Hop. “Em, to be as successful as he is, and I’ll just tell this to anybody with two ears, or one ear, for that matter, is just one of the most supportive hip-hop people that I’ve met,” Budden said. “He’s really, really just into hip-hop and rap and lyrics. He’s just really into all of the things that group was built around.”

    1. ARGH! I cant wait! Can you imagine an entire album with Eminem and Slaughterhouse?!?! Imagine any D12 album but instead of the rest of D12 it would be Slaughterhouse and Em!!! WOOT WOOT!

    2. If the they release an album thru shady records they’ll have to change their name to softerhouse with all the weak hooks, beats and emo lyrics that em will have them doing.

      1. “Weirdo” must mean someone you don’t understand because you’re either simple-minded or close-minded. Try leaving your block once in a while.

      2. why does everyone referece pump it up? that was almost 10 years ago people! think of ur fav artist and i bet they have a “pump it up” of their own. the labels dictate what they will release n they wanted pump it up so thats what they got. have u listened to ANY other track? prolly not cuz u probably just listen to the radio and base your opinions off of that. Joey is deep and real. He not the best in my opinion but he my fav. big differnce.

      3. Check out Mood Muzik 4. Even if you don’t like it, “corny” in no way describes it, so I’m assuming you didn’t listen to it. He goes where other MCs are scared to.

    3. Slaughterhouse will not be signed to Shady so deal with it. I don’t understand what the fuck is so damn secretive about this fucking signing deal anyways. Just fuckin’ sign them if they can’t any sell any damn albums enough to go Platinum then don’t be afraid to dump their asses off of the Interscope major label if it’s such a fuckin’ hassle…Now is that hard to do or what? Or just simply say that we don’t wanna sign these clowns. Makes no sense to talk about this shit. These Slaughterhouse clowns are making bullshit gossip off of this shit as if they are starving for their last fuckin’ meal or something…If the msuci shit doesn’t work out then act like the average human and go get yourself a fuckin’ job for christs sakes…It’s not the end of the fuckin’ world because you can’t sell records in the music world unless you want it to be…Just stop talking about this bullshit signing because it’s completely useless at this point…And even if they do get signed who’s to say that their album is gonna come out…Jimmy could sign these guys and they could just sit on the fuckin’ shelf just like Aftermath so I don’t see what the fuck the excitement is about anyways…I seriously doubt these muthafuckas will go Double Platinum unless Eminem is heavly intensely involved other than an Executive producer…

      1. guess what jackass Slaughterhouse has already signed to Shady records,so you can go eat shit and die, you hating ass fucker.

    4. Slaughterhouse will not be signed to Shady so deal with it. I don’t understand what the fuck is so damn secretive about this fucking signing deal anyways. Just fuckin’ sign them and if they can’t sell any damn albums enough to go Platinum then don’t be afraid to dump their asses off of the Interscope label if it’s such a fuckin’ hassle…Now is that hard to do or what? Or just simply say that we don’t wanna sign these clowns. Makes no sense to talk about this shit repeatedly for so damn long if nothing is gonna go down with it. These Slaughterhouse clowns are making bullshit gossip off of this shit as if they are starving for their last fuckin’ meal as if their lives depended on it or something…If the music shit doesn’t work out then act like the average human and go get yourself a fuckin’ job for christs sakes…It’s not the end of the fuckin’ world because you can’t sell records in the music world unless you want it to be…Just stop talking about this bullshit signing because it’s completely useless at this point…And even if they do get signed who’s to say that their album is gonna come out…Jimmy could sign these guys and they could just sit on the fuckin’ shelf along with the garbage ass Diplomats so I don’t see what the fuck the excitement is about anyways when everyone of these dudes are washed the fuck up and haven’t sold shit over Platinum for the past 3 or 4 fucking years…I seriously doubt these muthafuckas will go Double Platinum unless Eminem is heavily intensely involved other than just being an executive producer for Slaughterhouse’s second album…

    5. What Budden is trying to say is the people who pay Eminem truckloads of money won’t sign them to a deal because they know they will flop. It’s not enough for Eminem to just endorse them and the checks get cut.

    6. Slaughterhouse = Revival of HIP HOP….

      all you haters can go listen to your worthless young money cd’s or go back to sucking soulja boys d*ck now….

    7. Holy shit, some people on this website are so fuckin retarded. If you dont like Budden or Em then you have a terrible taste in music, these are 2 legends to the game. A Slaughterhouse album would just add on to how great 2011 is gonna be. Even though 2010 sucked for hiphop, 2011 is gonna be the 2001 of hiphop. SLAUGHTERHOUSE will fuckin kill anything. And Em will only help. I hope this goes through nd they put some shit out there.

      So what they may not sell much? All the underground fans want dis to happen, nd Eminem has 30 million from his last album, just go with it man.

    8. this is becoming the detox of label signing.. always hearing about it, but never anything confirmed!

      ..having said that it could be the best thing to happen to hip hop in YEARS

    9. How the fuck is Joe Budden a legend in the game? Opinions vary, and while I respect his ability to release albums at a steady pace, there’s a reason why after Pump it Up, he essentially went nowhere. Eminem can’t save him. His endorsement is solely for money and that’s cool, but he’s not a legend. Legends are successful.

    10. Legends don’t have to be succesful. I mean, Trae the Truth and Z-Ro are underground legends, and these poor guys only sell thousands of records.
      Legends are critically acclaimed artists who have been in the game for a mad long time. Joe Budden is not yet a legend in my opinion, even though I got a whole lotta respect for him. He will be a legend one day, that’s for sure.

    11. all yall fuckers who think Joey is wack have no fuckin idea what REAL hip hop is. Just because he isnt lying his ass off about killing people and pushing kilos doesnt mean he is wack. If putting ur heart and soul on wax isnt real, then eminem isnt real in yalls opinions.
