i see most of their music as soundin the same. i respect all of them but Crook could do a lot better if he just reached out to some other artists on his coast

i'd much rather see a westcoast supergroup of hmmm Crooked I, Eastwood, Roscoe and somebody else like Shade or Tri-Star(i'd say kurupt but he's supposedly workin on about 10 projects already). this would be a hella better album and sell more too as long as they can put out at least one video and not just on the internet

if any of you ever run into them let em know so they can get this shit started ha

but for real there's no way this group could fail

in what world are you living?
on what planet would a "Crooked, eastwood, roscoe, and whoever else album" be better or sell better than a "crooked, joell, and buddens (roycs succs) album"??

youre dreamin my nig

that other shit would definitely fail

joell is dope as fucc... niggaz gotta stop sleepin... him with crooked is ugly!!!!!

Hell yeah, I'm feeling Ortiz most from the group too! So sick with it! For me Budden is the weak link but he can hold up pretty well.

Budden comes off the weakest just because he doesn't have the vocal presence as the other three.but when you listen to his solo shit he is a beast.not to mention one of the deepest rappers ever.no wonder he can't be on a major.each album and mixtape is his soul in audio form.

your judging it off of two songs? plus they aint even been together that long. give it time is my opinion. also muh fuckas need to stop sleepin on joey(especially west coast cats). if you aint up on dude cop that Padded Room,or Half-Way house and the mood muzik series is a given.

i think ull should be thankful that theres a west coast rapper in the group. they coulda easily had another ny rapper in there and left the west coast unrepresented like the south

This is part of the problem with West Coast die hard fans. The whole "coastal mentality". Example: Dre needs to quit working with artists outside the West Coast and focus on the West more.

I've never heard this said about DJ Premier, Timbo, Just Blaze, or any other producer for that matter. They're all out there networking with each other regardless of regional affiliation.

Truth is, Crooked I reps the W all day every day, even as a member of SlaughterHouse. It shows in the pictures and videos that are scattered across the internet. So it ain't like he's abandoning the coast. He's finally playing it smart and linking up with other niggas (dare I say, smarter business men than him) who actually have experience in releasing albums and networking with BIG NAME people from producers, other artists and industry people in general. Crooked I is benefitting the most in this group as far as potential business contacts and expanding his fanbase goes.

What does Crooked bring to the SlaughterHouse table on the business side of things? He doesn't have BIG NAME people on the West Coast for them to network with. Example: Royce has DJ Premier, Black Milk, Diddy and numerous other niggas who are considered somebody in the industry. Joe Budden is tight with a lot of radio personalities, like Shade 45 DJ's, Hot97 DJ's. Joell Ortiz is like the East Coast Bun B. Everybody loves him. He's worked with everyone from legends to up-and-comers Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, KRS-One, Fat Joe, The Lox, Saigon and the list goes on and on. So what does Crooked bring? Dre, NO. Snoop, NO. Cube, NO. Power106, NO. KDAY, NO. Contacts with other underground artists on the West, YES. The only thing Crooked really brings to SlaughterHouse is his skill as an MC and maybe a handful of fans from the West who might actually support them.

Last but not least Budden, Ortiz & Royce have all released retail albums.

So who is benefitting the most in the group?

It's one thing to not like the group for whatever reason. That's your choice. But it's another to dismiss the potential that the group has when you really look at it from a holistic perspective being that they are multi-regional and each member does have a cult following. And you can't deny that they're buzzing like crazy on the underground circuit. Like Joey told Miss Info after the SOB's show, "this ain't about what Hip Hop needs, the fans out there tonight let us know that this is what Hip Hop wants."

that's word.
