You always talking about cd's. Did you post your collection before?

Got my own topic man:

They released 5 albums together as a duo.  People grow, want to move on, do other things.  DPG did their own albums, Wu Tang did their own albums, Bone Thugs, etc.  As far as I know, there's no drama or anything like that, just wanted to branch out and do other things.  I respect that.  Crooked I started out as a solo, this Slaughterhouse/Joell group project was a fun thing to do for a while, but I don't think his intent was to be thought of a group member the rest of his career.

Fine, but my point remains.  Why did they have to completely trash any possibility of ever having a Slaughterhouse reunion?  They could've just done their own thing, like they did with H.A.R.D.  Instead, they destroyed Slaughterhouse, but said they would remain "brothers" and would collaborate together for a long time and then, bang, two years and it's over.  So no more Slaughterhouse AND no more Crook/Joell.  If they hadn't trashed Royce and Joe, there could've been future projects from the four of them.  It just seems very short sighted, particularly from Crook and Joell who probably benefited the most from all the collabs, when you consider Royce is Grammy nominated and Joe is super successful podcaster.

I think you're taking it too literally.  I took it as they were done making albums together and not to expect another one.  They can still collaborate, do guest spots on each other's albums.  As far as Slaughterhouse breaking up, that's been argued to death and i think they all agreed all 4 of them could've done things differently and they are all at fault.  I appreciate the honesty to the fans of them saying "hey guys, there's no more Slaughterhouse".  That's not trashing anything.  It's done, it's the honest truth. 

Plus you never know, it's easier to say something is done and never happen, then end up doing something years down the line.  Rather than them saying yeah someday will do Slaughterhouse again, and then get bombarded with fans bothering them constantly asking when it's gonna happen, and they promised it was gonna happen, etc.  Just kill any thought of it right now, then if some sort of reconciliation ever occurs, it'll be a nice surprise for the fans and not an expectation.

They already mislead the fans once by saying they were working on Glass House when it was DOA long before then, they don't want to mislead fans again.
