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.

This song first appeared on the Rap Chart on October 20, 2008

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!

im trying to help out with the lyrics if u dont wanna listen for 21 minutes

Joell Ortiz:
I define gutter, everytime I rhyme I climb up another notch
Hip hop got my spine smothered
But I’ll be fine brother
My mind hovers above all you jive suckers
Listen, that’s word to my mother
You throw a shot at me
I’m throwing a shot back
Your’s is on a joint
Mine’s whistling by your top hat
Ya I’m cool but you violate and I’ll cock back
Open the mac’s mouth and black out like I do not rap
Im sick and tired of niggas lyin
They fifth is lyin in they second drawer
Next door to some bullshit they ironed
yall be makin up stories that them little kids be buyin
I do everything my Penn State like a Nittany lion
I ain’t gotta mention the streets on this song
To get in a nigga ass on these beats like a thong, pause
Veterans co-sign me, the up and coming scared
The pretty girls go “Papi here’s my underwear”
Never in a hundred years I thought I’d be a rapper
But in less than a hundred bars I knew I’d be a factor
I’m PS4 in HD and the screen is plasma
You’re Atari 2600 with a weak adapter
Between us the gap’s so crazy
I’m Gucci, Louis V, you’re Gap, Old Navy
I get coochie in the V, you attract no ladies
You’re suburb, I’m gutter where it make cat’s go crazy

Nino Bless:
@*#$! a lecture, ain’t tryin to be Pun’s sucessor
That term’s done @*#$!, what up whatever
You bird’s is food
I’m about to pluck some feathers, I’m young and clever,
Plus, clutch under pressure, yup! who does this better?
Walk around with metal all on me like the front of Shredder

I lust for cheddar, you owe me
Leave holes in your vest that’ll open your chest like a sunken treasure
I’m somethin’ like a phenomenon
Droppin’ bombs for fun then dining in hell during Ramadan
Whatever I’m rhymin’ on, or whoever I tear em apart
Swear on my pops, no fear in my heart
Shit, been through it all
Done swam with the sharks, snapped fins with my jaws
I’m all that, and a bag of the baddest piff
Off a brick of hash mixed with acid hits
Like sick cracker shit
Get back dumb birds I ignore the hype
Click clack, Yung Berg if you flossin ice
Dog, cross me twice, can’t afford the price
It’ll cost you, I’ll off your life
You soft, I told you I’m raw white
When I’m on this mic, the mourn at Knight
Don’t wanna see mornin’ light
And I feel like I’m forced to fight
When the chips are down like Ponch fallin’ of his bike
Of course my metaphors are type awesome, right
I got em in awe, my aura’s Jordan like
What’s really poppin’, who’s diddy boppin’
You was a willy
Now you all Common and really conscious
I ain’t with that silly nonsense
I really pop shit
My gun stay cocked like Biggie’s optics
I stay evolvin, but grown bitter
On your grave they carvin “fucked with the wrong nigga”

Crooked I:
I don’t write I kill a pen leak his blood on the page
I breathe bars, like oxygen locked my lungs in a cage
Instrumentals get @*#$! on the stage, a pedophile
Unless i dig in the crates, and @*#$! with somethin my age
Forever vow to never smile when I’m at peace
Only when I’m eatin’ the deceased like kiesh
Only when my enemies eternal organs are a smorgasborg in the feast
The dahmer with melanin and let em in the belly of the beast
You’ll be missin’ till fisherman see your corpse
I’ll be in Michigan stickin’ a chickin
In my Michelin ready to pigeon pitch again
from Switzerland to New York
I was whippin’ Bently’s before them pictures up in the Source
I’m a gorilla behind these bars, on some zoo shit
Shoot you while you’re talkin, on some news camera crew shit
Sicker then flying in past tense, on some flu shit
Day old @*#$! flow, I drop new shit
Exclusive, you don’t want it in fact
I’ll have the doctors operating on the front of your back
Tryin to keep your stomach intact
The spiritual you, leavin your body he don’t wanna go back
That’s when the tunnel go black
I’ll send your soul to the atmosphere
@*#$! outta here, and your ring tone rap career
It’s Crooked I, the face of east side Long Beach
Put your ear to the street, so you can hear my heartbeat

Royce Da 5?9:
I hope niggas know
I’ll show up to ya show
I’ll show up where you go
Show up to ya door
4’s will explode shells
For they hit the flo’
I know niggas know
I got an open window flow
I air shit out
In the D’ they used to call me Mayor Royce
Now they call me Clay Davis
Guess why?
Shiiiiiiiiiieeett
Cause when it come to them words
You know I wear shit out
I write rhymes like white lines
On the nose tray
Ice cold, Ice Cube flow like O’Shea
Riding shot gun with Chris Martin my DJ
Not the white boy, but I’m down for the Coldplay
Forever stay violent, better stay silent
Hammers stay hummin’
Like strummin’ the mandolin or violin
Speaking of, I done played into the violence
More then my nigga Charles Hamilton played Sonic
I wrap niggas up, clap niggas up, scrap niggas up
Either that or we gon’ slap niggas up
Dump dirt on you right before I go into my Maino mode
If I smell the scent of Yung Berg on ya
Till it ain’t no more, ain’t no dough
Get into his ass cause I ain’t opposed
I’m a living anal probe
I’m a lame-a-phobe
Matter fact my nigga Jumpoff can I keep goin?
(WHY THE @*#$! NOT!!!)
When I was a teen, I used to pack a .380
Now I’m spittin’, sittin’ between Shady and Jay
I pull da jeans down on my @*#$! and then wave
Cause the @*#$! Max B wavy when she aint shave
I leave the booth smellin’ like somebody ain’t sprayed
I would talk about Kimbo but I ain’t crazy
I’m like Marty McFly
Goin back in time and dissin’ his momma nigga you can’t fade me

Joe Budden:
They say he a bastard for real
Then they see the ass on his girl
So they wonderin’, why he so mad at the world
I take it out on tracks, I R.I.P. it
So even to the producer it’s hard to I.D. it
Bars tremendous, it’s in your best interest
I insist your men just, do your best Bish’s rendish
Endless, move more then 2 inches
My blood’ll boil like I got a big skin cyst
So end this, or see me manana
Or see the speed of a llama
Underground prima donna
That ain’t hard to find popppin’ E in a Honda
With hands like E. Honda, he a monster
I love war it’s like my pet peeve kinda
But for us to even beef you should be honored
My dick gettin hard, I see vagina, PAUSE
Nah, rewind each line each time
Speak mind and meet 9, mano e mano
When it rains it pours grab a teflon poncho
You now fuckin’ with Mouse, the head honcho
Nigga I could fit your house in my condo
I walk around like ratchets been legalized
Just me and the desert eagle, and the eagle eye
Closed casket, now you having a box, wait
Zipper over your head, dude’s calling you crotch face
So ya’ll could bump swag like us
But the next time rap’s discussed
Add this as a plus
Don’t nobody hit the pad like us
And would get up in that ass
But the fags might bust
And since poppin’ tags is a must
I hit the bank and all I do is withdrawl
Chicks removing they drawls
Now your crew is in awe
How you ball?
Your jewels from a cubicle in the mall
You gon’ need another processor,
to process it, I’ll set it
I said it!!!
So keep running around hot headed
Till you get hot leaded
Till everything but your torso on you is prosthetic
Digest it, niggas is pie-thetic
Rap what you can’t afford, ya’ll must got credit
All you gotta know is Crooked I, Royce, Bless & Joell
With Joe spell, NO L!!!!!

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

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.
