Although I can’t cosign on this this album cover (I only have MS Paint and could make a better cover), I will say that having Primo executive produce your album is a great look. AND then to have Bun B and Joell Ortiz get on the track is just bonus. I still bump “Shake This” so with that, I am excited to hear what Royce does on this album. I am currently looking for my Rock City CD as well. Via NR.
Now, that you saw the previous post about how passionate and dope Slaughterhouse is about hip-hop, now you get to see the other side. Too many quotables. After the jump is a bloopers reel/behind-the-scenes footage.
One of my favorite bloggers, Dallas Penn, got a chance to be at the Slaughterhouse listening session. These guys got some passion for their craft and got me excited for their project after watching this video.

Joell Ortiz, 1/4 of Slaughter house and full-time Brooklyn MC, does justice to most, if not all, to the songs he covers. Hell… this mixtape just wins for the cover art, which was done by ChiefRocka Industries. Props to eskay and everyone else who is posting this. Spread good hip-hop. Tracklisting after the jump.
Tell ‘em why you madd, son! Tell ‘em why you madd.
Joe Budden (hip-hop’s new king of twittering and new media) gives us his reactions to VIBE’s “Best Rapper Ever” bracket style tournament. They caught some flack for their top 50 Hip-Hop Blogs a week ago. (Anyone else think its ironic that a mainly R&B and tabloid magazine in a failing industry is promoting online hip-hop blogs?) Now they got a new arguing piece. Although, I agree with 95% of the quotes and gems Joe drops in here, he may be gassing himself by saying Slaughterhouse is the best hip-hop group ever created. But that look when he mentions Prodigy on the list… Priceless!

Joell Ortiz is one of those guys that I’ve never downloaded a mixtape or album from but gets respect from me just off his lyrics from various songs I’ve heard. I took a chance and listened to his “Covering the Classics” sampler. And man, Joell just tore through some classic songs. What impressed me most was his ability to change his delivery and voice to match the beat (something I wish Joe Buddens would do) and sometimes mimic the original rapper. Notably, he rips through the song that gave us our name quite well. Thanks to eskay for the heads-up. Peep the zshare below.
