Slaughterhouse, the rap group which consist of 4 super lyrical rappers (Joel Ortiz, Royce Da 5'9, Crooked I, and Joe Budden) is about to drop their third album (Glasshouse), and the producer putting it together, Just Blaze recently let the world know what's up with it. During a recent interview with XXL Magazine, he spoke on his contribution to the album.
"I'm producing the Slaughterhouse album right now. And my thing with that album is that I didn't want it to be an album full of them trying to out-rap each other. I wanted them to actually be together during a majority of the process of the album as a group and just make things a little bit more rounded." (XXL Mag)
Okay, I think this will come out well. We all know they can rap their asses off, but making actual songs can sometimes be difficult for the 4-man group. With their last album (Welcome to: Our House), Eminem tried to let them make funny type songs that always works for him, but it didn't work for the group. The best songs on the album where songs like Our House, and Goodbye, and that's because they had subject matters- it meant they weren't just spazzing out on some 'I'm the best rapper in the world' rant, but were actually linking up with their emotional sides to create the songs. You always reach the people through the heart...all the time. If they are not trying to make funny songs, or competing too much and trying to murder each other on every single song, then they can actually make great songs. That's also why their 'Truth or Truth' song is such a classic...I shed tears the first time I heard that song.
I am hoping Just Blaze pulls this off, cos I really want them to enjoy some mainstream success too...They are currently the dopest rap group out there. Glasshouse is set to drop this summer.
