Title: Slaughterhouse overexposes themselves and thus oversaturates their market...
Post by: TraceOneInfinite Flat Earther 96' on November 17, 2012, 05:58:52 AM
Slaughterhouse being on all these fuckin mixtapes and having their EP and dropping all these "freestyles" and solo and group albums and so on and so on is part of what is the problem with hiphop.

Atleast Dre understands that its quality over quantity.  Putting out a million subpar verses pales in comparison to dropping one classic song.   Id rather Slaughterhous figure out how to make a few classic cuts then every other day finding on a new track or mixtape

Mixtapes are a good way to give out free music to fans. Dre makes it seem like he doesn't give a fuck about his fans, which he obviously doesn't. There can obviously come a point where too much is too much, but I don't see that being a problem with Slaughterhouse. There styles are more fit for mixtape type shit anyways.

I think it cheapens your work.  Like everybody is always fiending for a new Dre project.  In the good old days of Death Row, Suge and Dre used to always teach their artistts to never overexpose themselves, and it kept the demand high for their music.  And when it finally did drop that shit would hit you hard like Kush... but Snoop said once Puffy and them started having success being on any and everybodys albums that he started doing the same.

I hate to say it, but for once I gotta go with Brian on this one.

Quality over quantity always pays off in the end. Don't put out more wack shit than good shit and people will check for you. I miss the old days of when you wouldn't heard from an artist for like 3 or 4 years until they were ready to drop a new album. The quality of music was much better.

But this isn't the case with Slumberhouse though. They don't even motivate me to steal their shit.

Geto Boys were created by their label, not neccesarily the industry.

As for Slaughterhouse, I don't feel overexposure is their problem. I think their last album was just lacking something. They're trying to put these songs together with individual verses for each one or splitting a verse into two half verses but I go through that whole album and the chemistry still isn't quite there. I mean, the one record I can point to as a group joint where the chemistry was on point was "Louis XIV" off Xzibit's last one. You had Xzibit, T, and the Liks switching off verses, bouncing back and forth, and everything felt sharp. I think Jadakiss and Styles P. have a similar chemistry when they do songs together. I'm not sure those rocked-out Skyler Grey tracks fit their style either. I know a lot of people hate Eminem doing them as well but I actually think his style works better with them as he's a versatile enough songwriter to carry them.

their music is too forced, u can tell theyre going for a certain sound that they feel would appeal to current times as opposed to just putting out the best music they possibly can. geto boys mighta been put together by a label, but their music came from the soul and they banged out classics because of that, they werent making music to appeal to mainstream pop audiences because the label wanted it that way ala slaughterhouse.

Post by: Chamillitary Click on November 18, 2012, 10:58:54 PM
As solo artists, they're better than 99% of the game right now. Together, I can understand the "forced" sound. But "oversaturates the market"? Niggas dropped a mixtape & an album. Them dropping freestyles is something they've all been doing for their entire careers. Oversaturating the market is when you appear on everything on the radio with features & shit. Like Rick Ross is the perfect example. That's outrageous over-saturation. Personally, I feel like that's why Eminem, Jay-Z & Kanye have such longevity. Given they try to keep up with the times, they drop their solo music, maybe do a feature here & there as promotion & go ghost for a year or so. Then when they come back it has a fresh feel to it. Guys like Rick Ross & Meek Mill are just phases for the moment & they'll get old fast.

But for Slaughterhouse; not a highly, widely popular name, you need to do SOMETHING to create some sort of hype/attention. Hasn't that been the formula forever though now? Drop a mixtape, do some radio freestyles & drop an album.

Okay... the day Slaughterhouse can make classic cuts like "My Minds Playin Tricks On Me" or "The World Is A Ghetto" then we can talk.   Because there is no way that you can listen to Geto Boys and deny their chemistry, as far as I know all the artists were from Texas, and unlike Slaughterhouse their work wasn't just a dope line here and there but that shit was powerful and moving.

A supergroup has to be composed of artists that can hold their own. All 4 of these cats got talent but can't get a real buzz on their own. Shit, they got Em backin them now and it ain't doin that much. Plus, their singles are way too forced. They might as well drop a single begging for iTunes sales.

10 to 1 they drop before Crooked I releases an Album, also I love how they dropped 2 in such a short time compared him. 
 

Also their a super group lyrically. That's it. N.W.A was a super group, Wu-Tang was a super Group, Cypress Hill, I mean shit. Their isn't nothing original or super about them. Except the whole Slaughter House Pig concept, and the Lyricism, everything else is recycled horse shit that they've spewed out for years. Crooked I been spiting the same bullshit since his 19-St. Days. Even with Slim back them, they still aren't known outside the internet. Face it they fucked up any chance of success by not capitalizing on their original much more impacting buzz.  Especially Crooked I Him not releasing a Death Row Album at the time when he was essentially the only artist not a knock-off, and pretty much utilized as the main star was just piss poor management.

The whole concept of this group was kinda forced from the get-to. You had 4 rappers who failed to make a name for themselves in the mainstream that decided to band together and go about with this "we got fucked by the industry but look at our amazing lyricism" vibe. While that concept would make them appealing to most hip hop fans, they haven't really been able to deliver on it. Their ear for beats is beyond wack and there isn't really any chemistry between them (although I admit that the only SH stuff I've listened to so far was their debut album). However at this point 3 of the rappers in the group realise that Slaughterhouse is the closest thing they'll ever have to a successful career in the rap industry and have basically decided to go along with it. Resulting in more of the same from them on every song they release out of desperation to keep SH's name (or more importantly THEIR names) relevant.
And the Eminem co-sign wasn't going to do shit for their careers anyway and sinice Yelawolf disappeared off the face of the earth it looks like it never will do shit.
Anyway, they'll never be the "supergroup" or "the saviors of hip hop" that people expected/want them to be. I myself gave that title to J. Cole a long ass time ago ;)...

Yeah it was made for Radio why? Because they made, released and pushed it as the main single on the Radio/for the album and even gave it music video treatment. and yeah Rap was made to bust your system. 80s beats sounds more hard hitting then half of the soft shit being released today. If I wanted to hear soft music I'll listen to RnB.

^This gets more Rotation then The One.  infact if they made least 1 album with consistent production like this They'd probably have a better career. All I ever hear from rap fans is how the new stuff is crap it's shit the older stuff is better, you got tons of movies and books, artist, talking about the older albums and the higher standard they had. So tell me why in 2012 when the Industry is at it's most exposed to the mainstream are motherfuckers not gonna capitalize and drop albums of the same quality?  

I Bought the First Slaughter House album I ripped off this second one because I figure the production (In this day and age) would be crap and guess what I was right. Moment I got done listening to it I just deleted it.

I agree. Out of all of them I can probably see Royce being successful on his own.

lol @ the other one

But in spite of having the red carpet laid out for him, Royce is more than 10 years deep in the game and still has never had solo success.  He's never had a solo album sell anywhere near gold, in fact I bet he usually falls under 100,000.   Also, he's never even made an underground classic solo album.   It's one thing not to get commercial success, but he never even put out an album that had any buzz even amongst hip-hop headz.  Like Rass Kass may have never gone gold but people still talk about Soul On Ice to this day.  Same with many rappers that have classic albums that didn't go gold.

All this after getting having the best possible connection one could ask for entering into the industry (Eminem), being the only artist other than Dre featured on Em's debut album, working side by side with Em and Dre on the Chronic 2, nearly being signed to Aftermath, having a classic unreleased bootleg album in 2000.... yet never finding success as a solo artist.

Given they try to keep up with the times, they drop their solo music, maybe do a feature here & there as promotion & go ghost for a year or so. Then when they come back it has a fresh feel to it. Guys like Rick Ross & Meek Mill are just phases for the moment & they'll get old fast.

But for Slaughterhouse; not a highly, widely popular name, you need to do SOMETHING to create some sort of hype/attention. Hasn't that been the formula forever though now? Drop a mixtape, do some radio freestyles & drop an album.

Rick Ross? Bad example. I guess you picked him just cuz he's somewhat popular now.

A good example of oversaturation is what Wayne did around Carter 3 era, even though it worked for him. Dude was literally on every single song out there and people just got tired of him but ironically that is what some loved about him.

As far as Slaughterhouse you already knew they weren't gonna deliver what internet geeks demanded. This whole internet thing has made alot of hip-hop geeks rewrite history and definitions. A classic is an album that has somewhat of an impact, has replay value and overall is dope.

Now all 4 are dope MC's but how can they make an album that has an impact when the minute they try to make an actual song every super underground geek hates on it cuz it's isn't just a song with them sptting 1000 bars? Same thing applies to replay value. Music is music at the end of the day. Dropping hot bars is cool but that isn't enjoyable to listen to after a while.

I've said it before and i'll say it again one big reason why hip-hop is the way it is is because of stupid as fans (both mainstream fans and underground fans). The whole internet has brought the dumbest people out who just love to rewrite shit and think that their opinion is law.

Rick Ross is on every song on the radio lol. Whether it's French Montana's, Lil' Wayne's, Drake's, DJ Khaled, MMG collab. Son finds a way to grunt on just about every popular mainstream song.

When I hear someone call Slumberhouse a "super group" I laugh hysterically.

A supergroup has to be composed of artists that can hold their own. All 4 of these cats got talent but can't get a real buzz on their own. Shit, they got Em backin them now and it ain't doin that much. Plus, their singles are way too forced. They might as well drop a single begging for iTunes sales.

I see what you're saying, but I don't think that the term "super group" can only apply to popularity. Obviously none of these dudes are that big, but it's safe to say that they all have a pretty dedicated underground fanbase. I just don't think not being able to get mainstream "buzz" should define who you are as a group. With that said though, the group itself has been a pretty big disappointment in terms of execution and the shit you mentioned

See i don't really think you understand what that term means.

I'm not a fan of Ross so it's not that i'm tryna defend him or anything. Again, oversaturation is when you clutter the game with your music/appearance. Some of those songs
probably gets played cuz of Ross level of popularity at the moment, but it's still not oversaturation.

Like i said during the Carter 3 era Lil' Wayne had more than 5 mixtapes out, had over 100 guest appearances,
appeared on every tv show either for an interview or a live performance, performed on every award show etc etc, everything basically became about Wayne or whatever he was doing. It was like even if you were a fan you got tired of seeing/hearing him. That's oversaturing the game.

Ross has what? Another solo and a MMG album since 2010? And then 2 mixtapes since that year. That's not alot. He has a few guest appearance but obviously not nearly as much as Wayne had. And also if we gonna keep it real most of those features are with artists on his label. French is on MMG, Meek on MMG, Khaled and Ross are business partners and Ross was introduced with the help of Khaled and obviously MMG is his own label. See the difference?

What's his point? That Carter III Lil' Wayne saturated the market more than Ross? Sure. But if Dooby over there robs Fort Knox & I rob a grocery store, we're both still doing the same thing.

You have to be pretty out there or a HUGE fan tryna defend that Ross isn't over saturating the market. "A few guest appearances?" Niggas on damn near every song. I don't care whose song it is. Look at Slaughterhouse for example, signed to Eminem & Eminem was on two songs with them. Listen to any MMG album, Ross is on nearly half the album, every single, then like I said every other popular artists single. Clearly market saturation. Makes sense too. Rick Ross & his grunting will only be hot for a minute, so they're cashing in on it as much as they can until people shut him off.

Anyway, Slaughterhouse has done nothing relatively close to either Wayne or Ross. So this topic itself is just plain stupid & a further mockery to this forum that this dumb nigga is allowed to make threads like this weekly.

Say what u like about Ross he's on the come up as an artist. Every solo album has surpassed the last. God Forgives was actually worth the money. 2012 been a good year for him

They really don't have a good ear for beats. The sad thing is, what I expected them to do, just rip up shit, the Horse Shoe Gang is doing three times better.

Have to disagree. He hasn't changed at all from his first album. Song by song, you can literally swap ANY verse of his career onto any song & people wouldn't know the difference.

Like I said he repeats himself constantly, but still managed to sound good on the right beats. God Fogives slams. It's not intelligent hiphop but Ross spitting Boss Shit over big band Justice League beats = fire in this instance. He did everything before but not as well.

And none of the other MMG albums were constistanly tight, Ross keeps the best for himself (except recently Maybach Curtains which he graciously gave Meek Mill - needs to an end)
