I don't think either of their albums are anywhere near classics. There was definitely potential for classic given the talent involved but every member of Slaughterhouse are notoriously bad at crafting songs/albums and choosing beats. They are all spitters but their overall body of work is mediocre at best.

Signing to Shady Records may have been the nail in their coffin... instead of focusing on their strengths, I feel like Em and Shady Records tried to make them marketable to a broader audience (think My Life)

Lately whenever I see SH members reminiscence on the group, they act as if they were the 2010s version of Wu Tang or something.

No

i dont know jack s*** about slaughterhouse but i feel like thatgif accurately represents what the group was

Might be the best thing to come out of the group forming.

Joe really thought he had a hit with that one and it flopped astronomically

Mostly everything u said here has already been said by Joe himself as the downfall of the group, especially the production. He said shady/em kept wanting them to rap on "Eminem type beats". Their best song is Hammer Dance cause it was produced by Araabmuzik. That's why Joe went on to do a full collab album with him once he left the group

I remember Welcome to… Our House was one of the first rap albums I ever got, because I already liked Eminem, so I thought his new label mates must be dope too.
Honestly, it was quite underwhelming.

It was like assembling a bunch of big name role players thinking that amounts to a super team but they’re already kinda washed when you sign them to boot lol

I really liked their on the house mixtape

Their production sucked and they didn't make a lot of decent songs

Yea they were dope.

Truth or truth They all killed this s*** but Joe went off fr

lol no

in hindsight they sucked

I can’t believe “real hip hop” heads gassed them like that

I still remember that Black Hippy x Slaughterhouse song that was supposed to happen

In retrospect they was corny but the climate of rap was different at the time. I used to think them niggas could rap though. A lot of people did fr

Back then I think people carried the mentality of the old guard in certain ways so folks respected them for their lyrics. They all gained internet buzz as solo artists in the late 2000s

In 2010 Ye and Push shouted out Joell when they were on Hot 97. I remember their BET Cypher with Em making noise. Even TDE got some Slaughterhouse comparisons back then. Em co-sign meant something different at that time too

Royce was / is dope

They were so hyped up but looking back they were held back by the Shady sound

Now if they were around for the Griselda era I think they wouldve shined

Their pre album run was good. The mixtape is just a compilation of those. Didn't make sense on an album, but the first one had some songs. The Shady money didn't help things. The second album is where the Cee Lo gif is from.

Could those four guys bar out together? Absolutely. That's all they could do though.

They were basically supposed to be what Griselda ended up being.

man thought he was going to be performing along the coast of greece and in african stadiums with that one

great song
