To say Slaughterhouse is good at this rapping thing, would be like saying Dwayne Wade and LeBron James had a good game yesterday. It’s obviously much more appropriate to use words like monstrous, unmatched, staggering, etc., but this one comes with a shade of gray. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s honestly really difficult to come up with different ways to say that Slaughterhouse can really rap. Really well. For their most recent exhibition, the rap game Dangerous Alliance came through to bless one of Hip-Hop’s best beats “What We Do.” Not sure if Just Blaze heard this, but the freestyle should be a rallying cry for him to get in the studio with these guys Read the rest of this entry »

After they dropped an ode to packing heaters in the club for their first single, we weren’t quite sure how Slaughterhouse was going to boost album sales this go round for their sophomore LP. However, after hearing the mainstream-leaning second leak from welcome to: Our House, “My Life,” it’d be safe to say they know what they’re doing. Read the rest of this entry »

Slaughterhouse’s Welcome To: OUR HOUSE doesn’t drop until July 12, yet planting the seeds possible future success cannot begin soon enough. The four headed bizzaro MC legion let loose of their “Hammer Dance” video with MTV getting the honors of first crack. Read the rest of this entry »

The Ides of March have come and gone and we’ve celebrated the month long with songs. And shows. And SXSW. Add in sports and March ranks as our absolute favorite month on the calendar. Read the rest of this entry »

As you could have expected, Slaughterhouse’s “Hammer Dance” is indeed referring to the infamous shuffle made popular by a certain Oakland entertainer. However, until you listen, the actual music couldn’t be less applicable to the metaphoric title. Read the rest of this entry »

It’s really hard to find tributes to fathers in Hip-Hop. Lyrical diatribes against deadbeat dads and odes to hardworking single mothers are plentiful. That’s why it’s so refreshing to hear Jersey emcee Moruf pay homage to his late pops on “Rest Well.” Read the rest of this entry »

We’ve all got a few things buried deep inside, yet most of us don’t have an outlet to express them properly. Luckily for listeners, the Slaughterhouse crew has eerie piano-riddled beats like the one on “Monsters In My Head” to help us forget our own issues Read the rest of this entry »

I still vividly remember when Slaughterhouse came on to Green Lantern’s radio show and for 20 minutes proceeded to completely annihilate Hov’s “D.O.A.” record until there was nothing left but the occasional dust particle here and there. Truth be told, I still go back and play that jawn on occasion. And only two years later Funkmaster Flex got to host his own demolition site and give the four-headed monster the keys to the wrecking ball and bulldozer. Read the rest of this entry »

I have an idea: from now on, every single from Shady Records rappers should come with a 2.0 version featuring the whole team. Because this shit right here is just rappity rap rap brilliance. I probably could jot down more about why this song is great, but you’re probably skipped the write-up and went to the song as soon as you saw the title. Read the rest of this entry »

Well, there’s no way this song was going to be making any albums anytime soon. The Biggie sample on the hook took care of that. But we’re all winners since Flex dropped this teaser from Slaughterhouse’s Shady debut for free.99 earlier today. Read the rest of this entry »

The 2011 BET Hip-Hop Awards happened last night but nobody cared. Rappers, chains and shoutouts pretty much sum up what we can assume happened without even putting ourselves through the torture. The prime reason anyone tunes into the show is to catch the cyphers and, thankfully, the Internet makes it so we can catch those without ever having subjecting ourselves to the rest of f*ckery.

My, how things change. About this time two years ago, the then-recently-formed four-headed monster known as Slaughterhouse was going on a rampage, destroying anything they touched. One victim they kept in-house was Joey and Joell’s candid collabo from Ortiz’ Free Agent mixtape, “Move On,” which was reworked to add in the additional two butchers. Read the rest of this entry »

Boy, I don’t know who greenlighted the “furiously dangerous,” screeching cat but here’s a track from the highly-anticipated F5 movie soundtrack. Yes, I said “highly,” which is largely subjective but I’m guessing somebody cares about the film and the music associated with it. Read the rest of this entry »
