If Locksmith were in Slaughterhouse...

[Triple OG Rapsodie]

How would you rank him against the current 4 members?

[LAC/EASTSIDE]

Good question Spice! You see, I show you some love ha. I would probably rank him the same with everyone else behind Eminem. You?

the best raw spitter along with crooked, but more intelligent.

disclaimer: joell is prolly my favourite member overall.

[Smackdog]

they would still be wack

I agree with this. At his best Lock would outshine Crooked on verses. The question is can he do it consistently. Crook almost never comes weak. I would have 1) Lock 2) Crooked I 3) Royce 4) Joell 5) Budden (as members of the group, not as artists)

There Has Already Been A Couple Dudes Come Out & Said That They Was Supposed To Be The Fifth Member & What Not, But They Got Left Out The Fold & Also Not That Lock Ain't But These Dudes Been In The Game & Have All Had Some Kinda Label BS To Deal With Which Is Whats Been Discussed In Countless Magazine Interviews Already. Lock Is Dope As Fuck But Has Yet To Prove Himself In The Game, Cause As We All Know He's Heavely Slept On. My 2 Cents

But how would adding Lock have stopped them from signing to Shady? And what has any of them proven in the game? These are all guys who have failed on majors, if anything their experience hurt their chances. Majors like signing fresh rappers, not proven rejects. He may have never been on a major, but Lock has released two group albums, been on mtv and had multiple regional hits.

My Point Is That The Current Members Are Just What You Said...Proven Rejects!...Which Is What Brought Them Together To Form Slaughterhouse. Thats The Story Behind The Formation Of Slaughterhouse, Lock Wouldn't Fit Into That!...Even With Your So-called MTV Airplay & Regional Hits Which Don't Really Count For Nuthin!!

You still haven't explained why he would have prevented them from signing to Shady. They didn't get signed because they are rejects. They got signed for being 4 emcees that tear the mic up. He would easily fit into that.

Charles Hamilton?! lol never heard that guy tear the mic up. And he hasn't been around half as long as Lock.

Where was your explanation? You said if he had been in the group they couldn't have signed to shady. I don't see why. It was their underground buzz and Royce hooking back up with Em that got them the deal.

He should replace joe budden

How would you prove that Lock would outshine Crooked? I think its a matter of opinion right? I haven't heard enough of Lock for  me to put him above Crooked yet. I'm not even sure If I would put him above the rest.
