Slaughterhouse or 4 Horsemen?

[Lord Funk]

This would be a battle. 1999's 4 Horsemen vs. 2009's Slaughterhouse. I have to do the measure of the tape for this one.

OK, in 1999 you have the 4 Horsemen, Ras Kass, Kurupt of the Dogg Pound, Killah Priest of the Wu Tang and Canibus. Killah and Kurupt had been out in the public due to their groups, and were two of the best lyricist in the game. At the time, Ras Kass and Canibus were two hungry beast who had just came into the game, Canibus ripping throught legend LL Cool J and Ras Kass on the Dr. Dre produced track, Ghetto Fabulous. So mainstream wise the 4 Horsemen were standing strong. Now of course politics got in the way of the project, and even the guys careers, but lets say it didn't, what we would have are 4 hot lyricist, two in their prime and two vets putting down on hot album. Now because Kurupt was on the decline, and Killah was in Wu trauma, I'm not sure how much they'd put in, but you can bet the house that Canibus and Ras Kass would bring a flaming hell with them.

In 2009, you have Slaughterhouse, which this time is 4 disgruntled emcees, Royce Da 5'9, Crooked I, Joe Budden and Joel Ortiz. All 4 have their fan base, Royce and Crooked are known for being just beast on the mic, Budden and Ortiz are seen as solid emcees who just can't hit that mainstream, and the 4 want to take it out on a track. Slaughterhouse seems like it would be hungrier,and Royce and Crooked will finally get that chip off their shoulder.

In a battle, I think it would come to Crooked and Royce vs. Ras Kass and Canibus, and off this I am going with....

Slaughterhouse. It's not easy, but I just think that Crooked and Royce's experience will give Slaughterhouse that extra push that's needed to be a great group.

Great analysis. +1 dude.

canibus in 1999 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> slaughterhouse

[CHUCK KNOXXX]

i dont think heads give joell enough credit yo.....outta everyone in the group, his lyrics are the most sincere and real, i mean he really coming from the heart most times, it aint just sum braggadocios type shit, and for that i think he gets overlooked....crooked and royce always get more propz, and they deserve the shine they get no doubt, but to say joell is a supporting character? never that....he definitely more versatile than crooked *waits for the hate*....

Nah id take canibus. Hes head a nicer flow. Crooked sounds to similar to me. And yer Ortiz is underated. In fact i think hes the most listenable out of all in Slaughterhouse. He spits from the heart like u said and he always kills his verse. Whereas the others are always talking about bustin guns or how great they are...

But you still like him though?

[afgmafia]

fuk this is sooooo hard to choose from umm i love kurupt kurupt is illlllllllll and i love crooked so like those two ppl are the leaders i wud say and den i like ras kass more than royce so den its like horsemen but then buddens and canibus are tie cuz of buddens delivery and voice (i dont like canibus' voice) and priest plus ortiz are w.e in my opinion so from my analysis ima have to say slaughterhouse

although it wud be sick if the four horsemen got motivated by the slaughterhouse movement to get their shit together that wud be liveeee

[arubiano83]

if by non existant, you mean couple hundred songs on my hard drive, sure.


Havoc is an ill producer but as rappers mobb deep are both average to me.  to compare them to Crooked I as rappers is like comparing Robert Horry to Charles Barkley because one has 0 rings....
