If you paid close attention to the backstage footage of Slaughterhouse, filmed after their Eastern Michigan performance a few weeks ago, your jaw probably cracked the floor like mine did when you heard Crooked I say, “Tech-n9ne killed me on my own shit.”

What!? Say that again? Rewind.

“Tech-n9ne killed me on my own shit.”

Jo-Jo @ the 3:42 mark.

If you’re a fan of rappers with incredible amounts of talent oozing from every follicle of their body, then this news should make you jump up and thank the Heavens. Or Hell, depending on which rapper you’re more geeked for.

“They’re like people…but sheep.”

Can’t remember where I heard that quote, but I’ll be damned if it doesn’t apply now.

I came across this video while researching innovative media solutions pretending to be busy at work. The content: alleged reaction of a certain rapper to the alleged altercation between two popstars from some anonymous tipster.

Swiped from Afrojacks, we have a clear offender, much clearer than the last case.
