Before I jump in, what's with Royce/Em's projects having these colons in their title? "Hell: The Sequel" "Welcome to: Our House"

Off first listen...
1. The Slaughter
2. Our House - This is a good opener, very solid. Eminem's verse is great, hook is decent. 3.5/5
3. Coffin - The production? What's going on. Those gay ass synths were not needed breh. Busta How did Hit-Boy make this atrocity? 2/5
4. Throw That - ....... 1/5
5. Hammer Dance - This song has always been fire to me, SH gotta stick to this formula not atrocious circus music. 3.5/5
6. Get Up - Very average 2.7/5
7. My Life - There's no doubt Cee-Lo did what he had to do, but this song is beyond corny 2.5/5
8. We Did It
9. Flip A Bird - Not too bad 2.9/5
10. Throw It Away - Joe Budden and his doppelgänger brother reunite Honestly, I ain't expect different from this song. It's alright, hook is not bad 2.8/5
11. Rescue Me - Skylar Grey The production on the other hand.. 2.5/5
12. Frat House - 3/5 Not bad
13. Goodbye - Average 2.5/5
14. Park It Sideways - Not too shabby, but something about it just screams corny. 2.6/5
15. Die - 3.4/5 At this point I would take a track like this. A good song, I like the concept, but that intro at the beginning was not necessary whatsoever.
16. Our Way - 3.5/5 Album closes out like it opens, very good.

17. Asylum - This is a very enjoyable track. 3.5/5
18. Walk of Shame - I don't know, this song can just range from average to great to wack at moments. The sample, verses, hook are all good, but the production can just fukk everything up. 2.7/5
19. The Other Side - Now this right here 3.5/5
20. Place To Be - Again, a good track. 3.1/5 BoB delivered and did what he was supposed to do

What I don't get is that Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf were supposed to be lyrical intellectual saviors of the unwashed masses, but they make these bland, generic ass songs with poppy hooks Where's the trading bar for bar competitiveness promised? Only Em kinda did what he was supposed to do microphone wise. There getting bigged up by people to be lyrical messiahs, but I'm not hearing that on this album. I mean, its like if a freestyle battle rapper decided to lay his diss verses on mediocre production, how is that supposed to be super lyrical What's most amusing is people claiming "this is real hip hop! Not that pop radio bull!" will be sadly disappointed Where the fukk was Joe Budden on this though? Album definitely has its moments, not gonna lie, but it needs a lot of work. Yeah, they probably wouldn't sell a copy if they didn't do some of these songs, but who gives a fukk. Are you guys in it for commercial success or intelligent lyrical rap?

I really hope they treat this whole Slaughterhouse/ Shady thing as more of a novelty than taking this seriously. It looks good on paper, but it's just not coming together. I listen to all five of theses artists (Slaughterhouse & Eminem), but putting out releases like this again could really fukk up the way they are received. Why can't we get that BAR EXAM Royce, that MOOD MUZIK Joe, the Joell Ortiz that used to demolish freestyles? Crooked never really disappoints tho. There's no reason these dudes should be spitting over some "The Eminem Show" type beats. In my opinion, it just doesnt fit them. They gave it a shot, but they should really get back on their solo shyt and stop bullshytting.

 

[John Hull]

This is a very LOUD sounding record.

Pots and pans, forgettable double time verses. Did the engineer purposely compress every beat to a hollow shytstorm.

I'd like to give this another listen when I'm blunted and drunk, but it's not looking good so far.

 

[Tetris v2.0]

Hammer Dance, Get Up, Flip A Bird and maybe Goodbye and MAYBE Coffin (aside from the hook) are cool tracks.

WTF happened to the rest of the album?!

 

[dakidbanks]

Listening to it again.. It's not terrible but it's REALLY not what they're capable of.. As a group, Crooked stands out the most

 

[Chief Queef]

As a Budden stan and from someone who really liked their debut this shyt is straight trash bin status.

I can actually say that I wasted 175mb of bandwidth and hard drive space on this weed plate. How can Joe Budden promote this generic piece of dog shyt....it must kill him to say good things about this.

When they first signed to Shady all I could think about was how Em and Joe would make a classic track together and they came out with Throw That, one of the worst songs I've ever heard...I'm talking Laffy Taffy bad.

It seems like Joe is ready to distance himself from this atrocity since he was barely on On The House or this.

Whack as fukk.

Edit: How the fukk are songs like Juggernaut, Sucka MC's and On The House not on the album? Em should never be allowed to exec produce an album again.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

No, no one's doubting their lyrical skills, their music just sucks. Simple concept

It's not even that they make bad music. There's good music on their first album and on the mixtape, but this album is fukking trash. It's awful. It might be the worst production on a major release from a serious hip-hop act in the past 5-7 years, seriously. Certainly one of the top 5 worst produced albums from a talented act in the past decade.

These beats truly are listenable, and I only was able to finish 4 out of the 20 songs. The rest I skipped around the 2 minute mark. I just couldn't get through the album friends.

It's such a pandering ass album. Such a blatant attempt to crossover. To whoever A&R'd this album, if they read this, people aren't as dumb as you think. if you make good music with dope production and stay in your lane, release the music with confidence and people will support it.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

These dudes combined age is 131

Album is a dud, surely between the 4 of 'em they can pick better beats

They did pick better beats, and most of them are from Alchemist, Mr. Porter, No ID, etc on the mixtape they just dropped.

And to be honest, I'm not sure how much the 4 of them really had a say in when it came to picking the songs for the album.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Hit Boy, No I.D., JUSTICE League, T-Minus, Araab Muzik, Kane Beatz, and StreetRunner? How do you go wrong picking beats from them?

Side note.. never understood why Shady Records never uses Alchemist on their albums.. his style compliments Em and SH so much... and Alc was on SH's first album and mixtape

I dunno either. Eminem did that one long verse on Alchemist's 2nd LP but that's it. You'd think that being his DJ would do something. He had a gang of beats on that Shady Re-Up album (the true Shady 2.0 squad with Stat Quo, Obie Trice, Bobby Creekwater, and Cashius) but Em wasn't on any of the ALC beats.

Havoc and Just Blaze were on recovery, so I feel like it gets closer every time, but no cigar. I almost don't even care anymore. If Em wants to keep throwing away dope tracks from Just Blaze and ALC good for him. A good source told me that there were some great Just/Em joints that got cut, and that Cold Wind Blows way way doper but it got changed a bit.

I know, I wanted, pretty much all I wanted out of the deal was Budden/Em trading emo verses over 'Recovery' production, and I got 'Throw That'

 

[LandryFieldsDad]

I usually agree with white Mike music wise so I doubt ill like this album
Will give it a listen tomorrow though

But there's no justifiable reason for no alchemist beat

I'm probably way off base Here but hear me out

Eminem probably gathered all these beats like,"these are hot right? Right?"
And none of them want to be the one to tell Eminem nah

 

[Black Ball]

Brehs, album worse than I thought it would be.

This is clown music. I can't get with it at all. Music has no soul, rawness, or bangers. Either make raw street music & some soulful hiphop shyt or disband this pitiful group. This coming from a nikka now embarrassed to call himself a Slaughterhouse fan. 1st album was a banger though.

 

[Air Nikes N Hats]

Just skimming through this.....the mixing/mastering was atrocious.....WTF??? This is a Shady release? who was the engineer on this shyt? Sounds like an amateur did this.

I agree I think they can redeem themselves somehow but damn this sounds way too pop and soft
