Crooked I Speaks on Slaughterhouse Album; Says, “This Time We’re Coming for Blood”
As the Top 10 lists of best rappers, songs and albums were released by various media sources at the end of last year, Crooked I of Slaughterhouse took offense to the group being left off of some of the lists.
While the group received the Shady Records co-sign, and toured all over the world, Crooked I spoke with AllHipHop at SXSW about how the group is “coming for blood” and still fighting for respect.
“We went to Australia, it was a beautiful country, that was my first time there, it was gorgeous dog, just the country was impressive, the energy in the crowd was just bananas. We probably gonna start on the next album in a month or two, you know what I mean, and this time we’re coming for blood man,” Crooked I explained to AllHipHop.com.
“I’m speaking for Crooked I and I’m not speaking for the group, but I think that ni**as kind of light weight went to sleep on the last album. When they did the hottest MC’s list and best song of 2012 I didn’t really see Slaughterhouse on that list man. We rap our heart out man so for this next album, I’m coming out with that butcher knife,” Crooked I said.
According to Neilsen SoundScan, Slaughterhouse’s second studio album Welcome to: Our House debuted at number 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums with 52,000 records sold.

Crook can't have an ear for beats, hooks or song concepts/structure at all because that's why the album failed to make its mark
The fact that the free mixtape was better must say something about the album dawg

I wonder how Dubcc will react to Crooked co-signing Australia.

He can be. But I think he's deeply depressed too

That album was soft. I'm a lot less interested in this group now.

they really dropped the ball by not working with Premo or Dre
the album sounded to me as if they all did what Em told them to do and had little input despite it being THEIR album and not his. with that said it's still 100x better than Eminem's last album was.
i still keep a few songs in rotation (Flip a Bird, Die, Otherside, Coffin)

this. it's sitting on my shelf. i guess i should give it another try. i regret buying it for now.

As long as Eminem didn't produce every beat, then it should be fine to listen to.

lol thats the problem...he's listed as co producer for like half the songs

if i remember right they said they made sixty songs but em chose the ones which made the album

If you cut out the singles that you obviously hear the major label screaming out, it was a dope album. Then again, I fuck with mainstream rap, so songs like "Our House" and "Rescue Me" sound dope as fuck to me.
But I've just accepted they won't win in the eyes of people. If they make ten songs with Premo, they just sound "one dimensional" and if they have a mainstream sound behind the lyrics, people just down talk the production to death, despite "The Other Side" is as lyrical as anything you can post from today lol.

But I will say Joell disappointed me on this album. Came pretty weak to me.

Shit. Well, at least he's better now than he was when he ruined Loyal to the Game. Either way, it makes me look forward to this even less than before.

yeah Joell the past 2 years hasn't impressed me on that much

Wow. Is that a sign that they just haven't got the chemistry to make great music, or Em just fucked up with his final selection.

The album was definitely and absolutely slept on. Its a great album, many great tracks. No doubt. But, it wasn't what we(well i can only speak for myself) were expecting or hoping for.
The lyrics i think were but it was the production and hooks that i feel let the album down and initially had me extremely disappointed and hated the album first listen.
The album grew on me majorly but iam guessing that many peopel threw it in the trash after one listen and missed out on a great album.
I even bought joe buddens album because of how much i liked it. Didnt but royces now though come to think of it^^;
i must be the only guy here who thinks krazy is funny
Good to see that there is a few people here that have a sense of humour and are open minded. Too many closed minded, politically correct, elitist, racist, etc people here.

Deeply is a pretty strong word.

"rescue me" is possibly my favourite track off the album.
Yeah i agree with what you said.
One problem is, some fans hate the Eminem involvement but i am sure the lack of Eminem involvement hurt the album, as far as him actually rapping on it i mean.
They gonna get criticized either way.
Better Em verse(s), Dre beat, Primo, some other lyrical features could go a long way.
As far as all the comments about Australia, iam devastated they didn't come to my city. I was actually planning to travel interstate to see them but unfortunately it fell on the weekend of a bucks night so i couldn't go.
And dont judge Australia based on Clint doggy dogg and me posting hentai here. Its an awesome counrty, one that i feel Americans and alot of people world wide know little about.
I think you'd be really surprised if you came here.
Theres a pretty strong hip hop following.
I havent even seen much of my country myself but we party hard and are pretty positive people. Very multi cultural.

Well I can't knock crook in an interview. He wasn't going to say the album was 'good' nothing great and never gathered any momentum.

When they did the hottest MC’s list and best song of 2012 I didn’t really see Slaughterhouse on that list man. We rap our heart out man so for this next album, I’m coming out with that butcher knife,” Crooked I said.
I think they didn't make lists because most of the lists are made by people who have very limited knowledge of hip-hop,
like they think dope lyrics have to be some Jay-Z metaphor, that he whispers slowly over the beat so you can figure it out.
And they've never heard a Kool G Rap or Masta Ace or DOC or Pharcyde track before ever in their lives,
but they're making a list of who is meant to be the dopest in 2012.
It's like when you ask most kids/teenagers "who's your top 10" and they've only ever really heard 10 rappers before,
so guess who they list... the 10 they've heard.

Which throne exactly?
Something just didn't click all the way with me on that Shady album. I can't specifically point my finger on the problem but something was missing. My best guess and this is kind of murky thinking in itself is that the compromises just didn't add up to a workable end result. There were some bangers on there and it was a good album but I don't feel it was a great one and given the talent involved, that was what was expected.

....so lame....ny niggaz=haters like here and crook is so wack live...
