Slaughterhouse - My Life
Artist: Slaughterhouse
Featuring: Cee-Lo Green
Producer: STREETRUNNER & Sarom
Album: welcome to: OUR HOUSE
Label: Shady/Interscope
According to common wisdom, artistic integrity and financial success are mutually exclusive; thus, a rapper can be forgiven for releasing garbage on the grounds that he or she had bills to pay. Like most pearls of common wisdom this is utterly f**king false. Living proof that you don’t have to sell out in order to sell records, Slaughterhouse revel in the riches that their uncompromising dedication to their craft has earned them on new single My Life. Inspired by Corona’s Rhythm of the Night, this anthemic jam has all the makings of a hit—a scorching club instrumental by STREETRUNNER and Sarom, a sing-along hook by pop icon Cee-Lo...—with one key difference: Royce, Crook, Joe and Joell don’t take the cut’s appeal as license to slack off, instead lacing the beat with all the fast, furious and aggressive lyrical flames a head could ask for. “How does it feel to count dollar bills that I found off skills?” Pretty damn good, evidently. Fans of the hip-hop supergroup can find this cut and much more on their Shady Records debut, welcome to: OUR HOUSE, set to drop June 12. In the meantime, be sure to check out the official video for lead single Hammer Dance, newly-added to the DJBooth feature post.

Maybe the guys were listening to Jock Jams and got inspired? Who knows, but this is unimpressive to me.

This isn't the best track from them, but I wouldn't say it is bad by any measure.

We are talking about Shady 2.0 boys and Cee-Lo Green here, and they can do amazing things together, but this is just not one of their better days.

This was a tight track. I like the epic sounding beat. Slaughterhouse delivers lyrically, and good work by Cee-Lo too... That is my m-f-ing dude!!!

For any other rap group, or artist for that matter, this is pretty good. But for a rap group like Slaughterhouse? This honestly couldve been a million time better.

NO no no. Never thought I'd see the day I'd rate SH 1star, but here it is. What's next David Guetta? Florida? Kei$ha? The beat is weak, Cee-Lo is just plain wack.

This needs a few listens to get comfortable with everything going on there's no arguing with that. However, I fail to see how collaborating with Cee-Lo is a bad thing. Expanding ones horizons while still tearing up a track just proves that SH is one of the best groups EVER.

From reading the comments, I guess it is solidified artists aren't allowed to strafe too far from what they are good at. This is hella good mainstream, regardless of its 180 spin from what we are used to. I hate people rating songs based on what they think they should be producing and not take things at face value for what they are.

I never thought I'd hear Slaughterhouse rapping over a beat this mainstream, but if they have to put out a radio-friendly single, this is the way to go

Hot track. Reminds me of the vibe of T.I's "Live your life" Should be a big hit, with the backing of Shady Records. It's catchy and definitly a bit more pop than these guys are used to, but it's a quality track. Solid.

Cee Lo probably spent some 10 seconds writing that hook. And even though the concept of the whole thing is corny as f*ck, the way these guys flow on the beat is simply incredible. Crooked's delivery is insane! Too bad Royce only has a few bars at the end of the song (and Joell an entire verse).
