Before finding indie success and forming Slaughterhouse, both Royce Da 5’9” and Joell Ortiz spent time under the Interscope/Aftermath umbrella—with Royce ghostwriting at Aftermath and Joell Ortiz signed as a solo artist. Their group deal as members of Slaughterhouse signed to Eminem’s Shady imprint will effectively bring them back under the Interscope/Aftermath umbrella, and both emcees spoke on the significance of their return. The importance of the return was not lost on Royce, who spent a good deal of time involved in a feud with both Eminem and D12.
“It feels great, man,” Royce explained to Shade 45’s Farragut Foster, DJ Wonder and AJ The ManChild. “It’s obviously a little more personal with me, considering what myself and Em went through. It’s more just I’m happy we were able to mend that friendship and get back to how we used to be. That meant more to me than anything. We worked together a lot before, so it’s good to be back working again. When we first got back cool, I was really focused on just mending the friendship. I didn’t really care about doing no more music with him. It wasn’t important as me getting my homie back. It definitely means more to me…I feel blessed man. I think everything happens for a reason.”
Much like Royce, Ortiz found success independently after his time at Aftermath. Ortiz formally announced a split from Aftermath in 2008, after months of speculation. He always maintained that the split was amicable and allowed him to both continue to do business with Dr. Dre and keep the material he recorded while signed to Aftermath. True to his word, Ortiz is back in the fold with some of Hip Hop’s most critically acclaimed emcees at his side, and he expressed optimism at a return.
“When somebody like Eminem co-signs me in a group and is excited to do this, it means a lot to me as a person,” Joell Ortiz added. “Dr. Dre, of course, he was the first dude to really give me a chance singed to a major and show interest. It’s been an uphill climb, because things didn’t work out over there and other situations. But look, we back at it in 2011. It’s fresh and the sky is nowhere near the limit.”
step your spelling up
WTF happend to that three headed monsters yall was talking bout on this site couple years ago (50,EM,DRE) remeber they was gone do this n that and its over for such n such aint shit change

Royce has been actin like a cornball ever since he made up with Em dudes like a straight up Eminem groupie shits pretty sad
i still fuck with him musically but as a man nah cant respect any dude who acts like a male groupie for another male
I’m glad someone said it. Royce has mentioned Eminem at least two or three times on every album he’s done. Dude has been so butt hurt by losing Eminem over the years it’s almost laughable.
They was childhood friends…fuck iz yo on about?…ever mended a bond with a long last friend that was like a brother?…pussy comment
yea i have cornball and that didnt make me wanna wave pom poms with their name on every day, Royce acts like a groupie for Eminem as soon as Canibus dissed him Royce dissed Canibus, he didnt do it coz he’s loyal to his friends he did it coz hes a fuckin Eminem groupie if it was out of loyalty to friends he woulda dropped some disses when Inspectah Deck jumped in the Meth n Joey beef n backed Joey up or he woulda dissed/done somethin when Raekwon smacked Joey HIS FUCKIN CREW MATE
Royce is on twitter constantly suckin Eminems dick the shits embarrassing n goes way beyond simple friendship its groupie behavious
Slaughterhouse are pretty weak as a group individually their all dope but as a group their music is average at best and lacks any real chemistry you can tell for the mos part it’s jus 4 cats emailing verses back n forth which is wack
Onslaught was a fire track but their album was a let down n this EP pretty much sucks
If you compare their last album with the Money Making Jam Boys mixtape The Prestige it isn’t even close
pretty sad considering the hopes I had for this group when they leaked ONSLAUGHT and the original MOVE ON was flames even tho it was jus a remix with 2 added verses
personally I’ll support them individually but as a group I don’t see based on the last 20 songs me supporting them
good comment, very impressed with get money jam boys. Solo careers Slaughterhouse is awesome as a group average music. they do have moments of greatness but they spit flames but music is average.
I liked the new EP, hopefully they keep the momentum going

no one is looking for slaughterhouse, like seriously….their name fuckin sucks too…all 4 are mediocre rappers and have had their share of hot tracks but for real no one cares about royce da 5 i try to hard on every track, and joell who?, and joe “never will be where i think im supposed to be” budden…crooked i ill give a pass to cuz he is a beast lol
H_A_T_E_R right here folks!!
Def a hater, what rappers do you think are better? I’m not sayin no one is better than these dudes. But, I’m interested in hearing who this douche likes. Probally Niki Garbage or Waka
actually i dont listen to losers like gucci mane and wakka whatever the fuck his name is, im strictly Nas, eminem, big pun and rappers in that realm
@ oofgoof
U’s a hatin’ ass lyin’ bitch! How u gon hate the ‘House & still love Nas, Em & Pun and “rappaz in that realm”? Oofgoof…smh @ that shit!
I like all these dudes individually, but as a group, not so much…
they had a rushed first LP though, so that could be a skewed view.
I think they need to use a different blueprint on the next LP. instead of the “all 4 of us spit a verse on every track” shit, they should use the old hotboys style. Maybe a solo track from each, one just royce and crook, one just joell and joe, a few all together, etc.
and more heartfelt music is needed. my man Joe is a beast and needs to be heard on something his style, not this “you fuckin with a killa” bullshit. Thats nice for Royce and Crooked, but come on… these are 4 different emcees with 4 different approaches to the microphone. youre never gonna make 18 cohesive, dope songs for one LP with all 4 of you on it.
Been listening to these guys for a while, and if you look for it you can already find a lot of what your talking about. Just wasn’t on the album so much. I think that was the point – to come together as a group. But you can also find:
Crooked I ft. Joe Budden – Blood on the Wall (Rmx)
Crooked I ft. Royce da 5’9 & Horse Shoe G.A.N.G. – Cypher (1 & 2)
Joe Budden ft. Royce da 5’9 – 40/40
Joe Budden ft. Royce da 5’9 – Hottest in the Hood
Joe Budden ft. Crooked I – Sober Up
Joe Budden ft. Joell Ortiz – Warfare
Joell Ortiz ft. Joe Budden – We Don’t Believe You
Joell Ortiz ft. Crooked I – Grudge Me
Royce da 5’9 ft. Crooked I – Gun Harmonizing
Royce da 5’9 ft. Crooked I – On Fire
Royce da 5’9 ft. Crooked I, Bun-B & Joe Budden – Nobody Fuckin’ With Us
Still missing a few off the top of my head, but that’s a good start.
he’s not talkin bout random songs here n there he’s talkin bout they need to learn how to produce better albums
example: Wu doesnt have all the generals on every single track and that along with actually having chemistry together is why they make such dope albums together
Now Canibus needs to mend things with ‘Em so that maybe, “The Four Horsemen” can also be signed to Shady records, coz they won’t get the recognition & respect they deserve remaining underground…as ignorant as underground artist maybe about the commercial world, to make good music u have to combine good lyrics n’ good beats, its a balanced equation and can’t never work one way…u spit sick, then u need to infect a wider audience, and thats the commercial world
agree …one good proof is Tech N9ne…that dude has dope beats and dope lyrics
fuck shady records CANIBUS is better off without them and he makes doper albums and has a doper catalogue than everyone on the Shady roster
not one Shady rapper has an album close to fuckin with Rip the Jacker not even close
BEEZLEBUD HIT MY TWITTER
The new EP was dope… can’t wait for for the album to drop.
Slaughterhouse are gonna kill the industry this year, to me, even though they signed to a commercial label, they rep the underground as well. Caus theres no way in hell you would find a mainstream group with that amount of lyrical weight…NO WHERE!
SLAUGHTERHOUSE ALL DAY!
*fingers crossed) I really hope Eminem gets behind these guys and really push em like they deserve. These aint new artist so they already know whats going on which should make it easier for Em. I mean look at what he already did for 50/G-Unit, Obie, D12 and you can go as far as to say he kinda saved Dre’s ass from being extinct!!
These guys are getting on my nerves now.The album was trash and they dont sound good together.They all are dope mcs but budden is a weirdo.Hang this group up its getting to be a wack concept.
