When Slaughterhouse’s debut on Shady Records, welcome to: Our House, was delayed to an August release date, many fans wondered the reason. In a recent interview with Fuse, the four lyricists spoke on the matter.
“Too many different reasons, too many different variables with how we control the music,” explained Joe Budden. “I mean, it gets to be an issue between label and retail, but I’m always grateful for more time.”
“It gives you more time to be creative, more time to promote and think of more ways to raise the awareness out there,” added Budden. “It’s a great thing for me…8/28 is the final date.”
Slaughterhouse also discussed teaming up with another quartet: Black Hippy, which is comprised of Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, Kendrick Lamar, and Schoolboy Q. “I spoke to Ab-Soul about it,” said Budden. “It’s just a natural thing. Them standing for the things that they stand for, very similar to the things that we stand for.”
“Both being extremely lyrical supergroups…I’d like to try and make the inevitable happen. That’s a priority for us. I’m gonna make that happen.”
Slaughterhouse also discussed some possibly unexpected acts they listen to. “Kings of Leon, Hall and Oates, Barry White…I was listening to Secret Garden all yesterday,” said Royce Da 5’9.
“Yesterday I was on my in-line skates listening to Radiohead,” said Joell Ortiz. “Yeah, I do that. In these streets, G.”
“I listen to Classical Music,” said Crooked I. “Sometimes I don’t want to hear a bunch of words, people yappin’ all day. I hear enough of that just in my own music.”

Real rappers right here, hopefully they come out with a shady records album
Aftermath album would be the dopest shit ever.
A Slaughterhouse/Black Hippy collabo would be dope.
Yes it would but Slaughterhouse would outshine them
Bunch of Sandusky’s Sellout House
“Yesterday I was on my in-line skates listening to Radiohead”
Those skates must be made to look like cupcakes.
lol ya that quote made me laugh
That collabo making it Shady/Aftermath/TDE!!
the idea of that collaboration sounds terrible, one groups failure is gonna rub off on black hippy’s?? dont fuck up another groups potential just because one group can’t get it together, lmao keep both those groups as far apart as possible, jimmy.. lmao it will not work it’ll only sound stupid as fuck especially with joells annoying ass voice on it..omg i cant wait to hear how bad this is going to sound..and i was a slaughterhouse fan until they basically fuckd up their major label debut, nd theres no debating that, the album comes out in about a lil more than a month..
Clearly… you don’t know shit!
oh and obv theyll have a bunch of european tour dates i just dont get how theyre planning on selling out shows on an american tour..lmao europeans love rap in general it could be eminem performing fack, and theyll love it..
what an idiot!
G-Unit Records nowadays:
G-Unit
Lloyd Banks
Tony Yayo
DJ Whoo Kid
Spider Loc
Hot Rod
Governor
Lea
DJ Pauly D
Shawty Lo
D4L Records
Genasis
Kidd Kidd
Precious Paris
Trav
What are you sayin? Wack?! Yes indeed… Banks is the only great rapper on the label.
LLOYD BANKS SUCKS WITH HIS MONOTONE ASS… HE MAKES A PARTY TRACK SEEM LAME AND BORING
agree with uKnow anonymous is a dickhead banks is real yeah his voice is nowhere good as it was when he came in the game but his lyrics still real
“Yesterday I was on my in-line skates listening to Radiohead”
Probably to go to the Drive thru at Wendy’s after they closed it to walk in’s…
Dogshit “music” for dogshit people…
** THREE ** flop singles in a row too, sweet!!
They sucked on Koch, they such even worse on Shady…
Preach On ….
I AGREE…(in DaveChappelle voice) SHADY IS FUUCKIN UP!!!…
hammer dance was nice the other 2 were indeed kinda weak
Only person I want to see collaborating with black hippy is Crooked-I… he is right. Joell is annoying as fuck. Joe budden is dope but needs work on his monotone ass voice. Royce is dope but doesn’t rap serious enough to be taken seriously. Crook is the most versatile with the illest voice. Pure skill
“I Refuse” the new mixtape from Don Rama is available

Stoneface Ent!If It Aint Bout Biness We Aint Got No Biness In IT!

Yeah right…we all know both of y’all are dead-scared to see your album Go triple wood thus Y’all Old Bums keep pushing your album back back back….to prevent the inevitable.
they cant make a hit no shit
Even if they had a huge hit single, their album wouldn’t sell. Look at Waka Flocka. He has HUGE hit singles on both of his album, but they both sold like dog shit.
Because he’s waka lmao
And define huge
@ETK Define huge? How bout this dick shoved inside your mom’s throat?
I would rather listen to willie nelson instead of joe budden
“Look at Waka Flocka”
Both his albums weren’t bad.
“I would rather listen to willie nelson instead of joe budden”
Willie Nelson can’t rap.
JOE AND JOELL SUCK…THE GROUP IS MOSTLY CROOKED I AND ROYCE
neither can joe budden he is awful smh
lmao. joey released one of the finest works a rappers has ever done with mm4 and it’s bonus tracks. i haven’t a rapper completely destroying a beat like he did on pray for them since then.
black hippy will destroy this group of old ass washed up rappers. daughterhouse tries to sell out with commercialized songs with cee-lo and swizz beats but they didn’t chart. no one but internet nerds cares about this group. go black hippy!
“Daughterhouse”? That’s the BEST you can do? smh
BLACK HIPPY > SLAUGHTERHOUSE
SLAUGHTERHOUSE IS MAD OVERRATED
Good joke Slaughterhouse actually have an album
Black Hippy is wack besides Kendrick
YEA AND ALL OF SLAUGHTERHOUSE IS WACK
these cats from sh are rappin for years and non of sh or bh can touch crooked. if i would make a list of best to least best from these 2 groups i would go for: crooked, royce, kendrick lamar, joe, jay rock, schoolboy q, joel,ab soul.
in line skates? lol
LOL!
all i have to say is that this album better be lyrically incredible if there talking about all there pushbacks to be creative and what not fuck the beats fuck the hooks i wanna hear some rakim, nas, em, sick bars come out there mouths budden said “fuck record sales or who the machine markets best” so i have a feeling they are currently selling out with all this bs… Id buy there first albums every week if they remained the only emcees in the game
Its kind of funny and fucked up to see yelawolf talking bout not getting on any coabos with anyone from his camp his down for his camp but no one puts him on…Black hippy just gave it up to slaughterhouse no more than 2 months ago and their making them a priority to get on a song. I really dig slaughterhouse but something is telling me their gonna endup with a sellout album like yelawolf. MMMAAANNN MAKE SUM GANGSTA SHIT FOR THE HOMIES IN THE HOOD. NOT THESE FUCKING RADIO STIFFS…DONT LISTEN TO THE RADIO ANYWAYS
Well, “Homies in the hood” don’t support. If so, they had hundreds of oppurtunities to support these guys when they made music for the “Homies in the hood”, so don’t act like a bitch because they’re catering to crowd that will support them.
homies in the hood don’t fuck with slaughterhouse anyway lmao
THIS IS MY MUTHAFUCKIN LIFE!! MMYYY LIIFFE OOH YEAH!!!THIS IS MY MUTHAFUCKIN LIFE!!!……WHAT A FUCKING ENOYING ASS HOOK….REALLY GUYS??????
EVERYONE NEEDS TO LEAVE INTERSCOPE!! FOR REALS… WORST LABEL AROUND. WITH THE RECORD TO SHOW FOR IT…WHY ARE PEOPLE STILL SIGNING TO THEM??????????????
man man whats with all this hate …shit yall didnt even heard the album…2 tracks with catchy hooks and yall say they washed up…what kind of bitch ass fans are u…the thing is they wanted to do a collab with Four Horsemen but Canibus’s bitch ass fucked shit up now they went after Black Hippy….the track’s gonna be dope…
these people are dumb as fuck. if they didn’t make these tracks they would be saying “niggas can’t make a decent song to save their life”.
“Joe and Joell suck”
They are the only two in the group who have released decent solo albums and they both can lyrically murder Royce and Crooked but they are keep it equal
I have to disagree with you on Joe vs Royce tho
WOW they couldnt murder Crook & Royce its just not happening. Bar 4 Bar Crook is probably the dopest lyricist in SH, followed by Royce.
“‘I’d like to try and make the inevitable happen.”
People are stupid.
It’s like saying “I’d like to make sure the impossible doesn’t happen.”
WORD Budden is fucking stupid the irony of what he said before “Both being extremely lyrical” LOL extremely lyrical but don’t even understand the basic English language LOL
they got dressed at the local goodwill
WORD Budden is fucking stupid the irony of what he said before “Both being extremely lyrical” LOL extremely lyrical yet he don’t even understand the basic English language LOL

Bunch of haters! Yall some drama suckers (hoes).

Lil wayne kisses dudes, and rick ross is 5.0 but yet yall ryde to that. The new hip-hop has turned you out. You relate to fuck boy shit for a reason. Go blog about that!

“this is gonna be a good pop rap album”
If TRL was still around Slaughterhouse would have alot of fans who haven’t graduated junior high yet.
“they got dressed at the local goodwill”
The least Eminem could do is take them to The Gap.
I want Crookeds verse next to Kendricks. Thats all I want out of life honestly.
god damn, i feel bad for you.
poor beat selection can’t make a hit. Let’s blackball them.

you guys are pretty dull.. clearly each rapper does something better than the other.. I see people talking crazy about Ab-Soul but he’s probably the most intelligent of the rappers.. If I put up my list OVERALL though considering all aspects KDOT is easily tops, then Solo, Joey, Crooked, Royce, and then Joell/Jay Rock.. you guys give Crooked and Royce so much props but they are really just aesthically appealing more than anything.. they are bar after bar of punlines.. I dig substance, not that they don’t have it. At the end of the day Black Hippy and Slaughter both are amazing lyricists and rappers in their own respective ways. Just realize when y’all argue who is better than who they are all on Interscope now.. and if they collab it isn’t to see who’s best it’s to give fans a combination of their favorite rappers.
In closing shut your fucking mouths and enjoy the music.
