![]() I wish they also included tracks like “Move On (Remix)” and “Wack MCs” on the album though, but you can easily get those off of YouTube.įinal verdict…I’m pleased with the album and I HIGHLY recommend people buy it. For some time now, all you’ve been hearing is lovey-dovey tracks or that swagger/dance shit…there NEEDS to be a balance and Slaughterhouse definitely delivers the LYRICISM back to the fold of things. Like what Crooked I said “This is what Hip Hop needs right now” and true indeed, it’s a breathe of fresh-air. Given that this was done in a span of a week, I give ’em props all around. On the whole, Slaughterhouse is a very SOLID album. #Mos def the ecstatic rate crack#“Too many fantasies, and no fame/ Too many claimin’ insanity, and they soo sane/ Less than wack, Scooby snack, lack flow game/Rappers, everything I do be crack cocaine…Too many monkey-see monkey-doers/I slaughter pigs on my tails like Punky Brewster” I could only imagine if DJ Premier or Pete Rock hopped on this… The other producers on it are: StreetRunner, Focus, Emile, RealSon & Filthy Rockwell, and without a doubt, they delivered as well (gotta hand it to Emile with the “Killaz” beat). Porter and they definitely hit the boards hard. There’s not a lot of big name producers here except for Alchemist and Mr. The soundscape is alive with that boom bap, and can become soulful at times. But that’s what made people turn their heads to Slaughterhouse and they definitely bring it.īeat-wise, Slaughterhouse never lets up either. I do wish that there were more conceptual tracks though(topicals), majority of the tracks are the “hit-the-side-of-ya-head with dope shit” style, the vibe is akin to Enta Da Stage by Black Moon or the debut Wu album. Pray, Cut You Loose and Rain Drops are a great change from bruising the mic. I do appreciate that their trying to gain wider appeal, so don’t get it twisted. “One” is an attempt to get radio airplay, BUT I guess it’s just a way to REEL in the casual/average/hip-hop ‘friendly’ listener to Slaughterhouse and make people listen to that real Hip Hop shit. The only track that didn’t really pique my interest is the album single “The One”, IMO I think either “Microphone” or “Killaz” could’ve taken it’s place. It also contains 3 skits (personally, I’m not a big fan of skits), but it doesn’t ruin the flow of the album.įrom a lyricist’ standpoint, it never lets up or slows down entirely. From the initial “Sound Off”, its bar after bar of severe wordplay, flow, and tight lyricism hitting your head. This album contains NO autotune, swagger talk or corny-ass dance tracks, its unadulterated, raw, lyricists workin’ the mic. Royce has got the flow, Crooked’s got the rhyme scheme, Buddens’ got the charisma and Joell’s got punches…and together they just mix it up real nice. There’s a cohesive synergy between the four and it’s evident in each of the track. “I’ll have your clothes lookin’ like they was designed by bulletholes and shoeprints/When I bless a joint/ It’s like Spock came up in the spot and grabbed the beat by the pressure point/ I got the Vulcan touch/ I tell my bitch, I’ma give up drinkin’ when she give her emotions up!…” “The West treat me like I’m really king/ I’m Pacquiao in the Philippines, illest thing niggas seen…”īuddens, Crooked, Joell & Royce…4 real hip hop heads band together to form Slaughterhouse, and their timing couldn’t have been any better.Īs you may have guessed, the album leaked and I’ve been hankerin’ to listen and review this album ever since hearing the original Slaughterhouse track and their other leaked songs.įirst and foremost, this album is a fucking lyrical onslaught…dudes brought their 4.0 GPA game here.
