Joe Budden - Slaughterhouse ft. Various Artists
Artist: Joe Budden
Featuring: Joell Ortiz , Nino Bless , Crooked I , Royce Da 5'9"
Producer: Scram Jones
Label: eOne
When Joe Budden jumped inside the DJBooth this past February, he revealed what he thought was an accurate release date for his long-long-long-awaited sophomore album, The Padded Room. Unfortunately, things have not gone according to plan. Originally supposed to drop in May, the project was rescheduled for release this month, only to again be delayed until mid-February. To tide over longtime fans distraught over the lack of a new Budden disc, the emcee and his label, Amalgam Digital, will release an appetizer project, entitled Halfway House, on October 28. The first release from the project is the Scram Jones-produced Slaughterhouse, a wordplay exposé put on by Budden and guests Joell Ortiz, Nino Bless, Crooked I, and Royce Da 5’9”. At seven minutes long, do not attempt to devote any less than 21 minutes (three full listens for non-math majors) to this lyrical masterpiece; otherwise you might just miss the most impressive line spit.

I;m going with Z's advice here, I'm not rating after first listen. I will say, damn, everyone on here brought it hard. The production on here is just made to rip apart with lyrical wordplay from start to finish. Hot, hot song, now I gotta go back and listen harder to the words!

This is definitely a hot street banger. Joell WENT IN on this! Scram Jones beasted on this track. Once again, JOELL WENT IN! Nino did good as well, but he didn't capture my attention as much as Joell. May I mention again, JOELL WENT IN! Crooked I snapped as well. I think Royce went IN second place of "THE HOTTEST" on this track. Budden wrapped it up nicely...BUT CAN I GO BACK SAY "JOELL WENT IN!!!!!" Joell and Royce WENT IN!

Big ups to E-Dub on the lyrics. Right here you got 4 beast on this track and they all eat it up. I can't even pick who rocked it harder cus they all put it down real nicely. The beat was average but they all murked it.

Thanks for those lyrics E-DUB. Ay Z, is there a way you guys could change the format on the site where the spaces people put between lines and words show up when posted? It does the same thing to reviews I try to post on Albums on here in the comments section. It just presses everything all together. It's just a suggestion. It just would be easier to read, less jumbled up and less stressful on the mind.

Underground hip-hop at it's best. This makes you think of some John Blaze from Big PUN's days and if you don't know what I'm talking about then you really need to get off the mouse and keyboard, go dust off the classic hip-hop CDs that only the Legends make, and educate yourself.

Here we go. Real MC'n! Joell got off as I know he can. Neno impressed me with his last track and he is now on my radar. Crooked destroyed this, OMG... I would pay to see this cypher in action... Royce did even better!! Done deal. This is the best MC cypher track since John Blaze! Classic!!!!

I had no time to read the lyrics E-Dub put here...I'll do it later! For now I wanna express an opinion about the musical part...I like the production but after a while the song gets really boring, they're rapping like they have no breath! They give me anxiety. I'll be rating when I read the lyrics, maybe they can increase my rating

First post & rating here, just registered myself just for this song. It's just that good... Best bars for me has to be Joell, he just had the sickest punches and -let's go inti white hiphop nerd mode- he can be agressive while beeing intelligent & in full control it seems

I have never listened to Joe's first album, so I can't say much as to whether or not this stuff is better than his original stuff, but I really liked the two "Who" songs, and this isn't far off. The lyrics on here are some of the best I have heard off of anything. But the beat is only okay for me.

Listened to it about 10 times by now, and it strikes me how each mc brings it in his own style (in Wu-cuts for example, it sometimes gets it little montone). They're compatibility just lifts this song to a banger for me (but i have to say that the beat starting to annoy after 70 minutes :-), so i have to lower to 4.
When picking the favorite bar (as your bound to do in these songs), since they all blast in their style, i just think it's more picking your favorite style rather than picking the best performance |

One word - R.A.W.
This is soo ridiculous! Joell's punchlines caused the most rewinds, but Budden & Royce's were just ILL. Nughck |

E-DUB is the man! Thanx! Maybe other djbooth members will follow his lead and post the lyrics whenever they get the chance to, that'd be great! As this song is... lyrically great! Deserves better (cleaner yet catchier) production, so that everybody gets the chance to appreciate it.

It took me a lil bit to warm up to Royce but if anything ever deserved classic status...production could've been more interesting if it wasn't on a 30 second loop but eh...
