Huh? Go Listen to some Holo / Warcloud. Hot 97, that _Silkworm_ record, _Bastard Swordsmen_ (w/ Killarmy), _Fever Dream, Crunch Time,_ etc. And I got mad respect for Slaughter House. They're like many others- on A level just below Holo.
Yeah agree with the guy above me crooked and k rino are probably the 2 best ever would give k rino the edge over crook but still Crook is apart of the best of the best
Crooked is fucking nuts. Seriously..his raps, flows, delivery..everything is perfect. And he's still the least popular dude in slaughterhouse. It blows my mind
No that's easily Ortiz then Budden. Royce and Crook neck to Neck for number one. But only cuz Royce stands beside Em so much. Crook kept death row alive by himself. Royce carrier was dead in the water when he beefed with eminem
One of the most iconic moments of lyricism in general. Never again will four dudes this unique and equally gifted come together as a group. These were special times man.
" find a good loop, hit the drum pad; and rhyme as hard as my biological sons dad!" people stay sleeping on Joell man. Him and Crook MURDERED this shit
fuck yeah!!! See my mama named me Dominic that's synonymous with ominous I'm in this game to show you what drama is, I'm in this game to conquer it. Genghis Khan of this monstrous entourage. WHAT CHALLENGER CAN DODGE MY BARRAGE!!! Dude goes off on one!
Mazza Scazza I agree hopefully Slaughterhouses next album will get them more recognition their all dope and could go bar for bar with anyone in the game and body most of them ain't nobody fuckin with EM + Slaughterhouse!!!
I honestly was jumping up and down like a crazy person to Crooked I's Verse. :P He's the strongest part of Slaughterhouse i believe. Multi's for days, Punchlines, Wordplay.....I'm taking it a step further...this guy is easily neck and neck with Em.
Damn straight dude.. Back when pac blew up from suge knight, suge was choosing between him and pac to make a super star.. Pac was making so many moves that suge said he could only handle 1 superstar at the time unfortunately. But the dudes right there.. He's a fuckin legend
I've listened to this probably 50 times and just realized Crooked said "you know my spine hungry/that mean I'm back starving!" They should have kicked the microphone and walked out the station!
Joell Ortiz was SO UNDERRATED on this freestyle. Alot of people didn't think Joell's verse was as hot because he spit right after Crooked-I. Both of their freestyles were hot in my opinion but I think Joell should've got some more credit cause his delivery was on point.
I play this shit back just waiting for that break before Joell comes in... He is so unreal dope on this track it's crazy. "Pull off in a sick 'Rarri, and all you'll see is paper plates like a kid's party" FIRE
budden is so dope, life lessons hidden in bars. he's not as technical, but his soul food is crazy. once you get past the bars and there's a lot of information on emotional intelligence.
Imagine he would actually live like his emotional intelligence WOULD SUGGEST... His written words show he KNOWS, but he doesn't apply it to his life... But ain't that most of us? We all do things we know we shouldn't like that. Or don't do things we should do... PEACE
@@stephencox8723 I don't believe in the theory that people are different just because of a different shade of skin.. It's his character, no matter if he's purple or pink. Isn't that black on black racism? All the "ight skin" talk.. kinda f*cked up
@@nimmha6708 it’s a running joke in the black community that light skinned niggas are emotional/extra. It’s not that serious. It’s no different than joking that Jamaicans are short tempered or late.

I assumed you were in on that joke.
@@stephencox8723 Thank you for clearing that up for me then.. I really never understood the lightskin joke to be honest.. I love and respect all colors and really don't care about a person's skin..

"We all god's kids, but I'm the chosen one. He took his time with me. He said 'I'm almost done... I just want to make his brain murder. and Add a lil' more down there so when he stroke He could go way further.' HA! She boning me cause you can't hurt her. You ain't got nathan on my frankfurter!" - Joell Ortiz ... It's rappers like this that provide the reason for me being such a tough critic on the genre. It's true that too many weak ass rappers are becoming popular and rich and aren't even remotely close to being as lyrically talented as these fellas in Slaughterhouse. IT'S RAP! ALL YOU GOT IS YOUR VOICE AND YOUR LYRICS (CAUSE MOST OF YA DON'T MAKE YOUR OWN BEATS EITHER), AND IF BOTH OF THOSE ARE WEAK, YOU AIN'T SHIT!
Judging from a 2021 perspective,KXNG Crooked still the mc who stands out the most today outta all 4 of them,Royce da 5'9 is definitely the most improved mc by a mile to the point where stands on the podium of top tier mc's of all time and Joel still nice as ever and has also gotten better with time🤞🏾🔥🙌🏾
La leakers and sway royce freestyle. He came 1000 miles sense this. He was rhyming 2 or 3 syllables. He rhymes biblical fibnonacci sequence I'm la leakers, he came a universe.
@@BkuBrown his content after he left alcohol became wayy more mature and he has been using his multi syllables,punches,metaphors etc to express powerful messages and also having a lot more creative concepts making best bodies of work in the more latter years of his career
All of the group are amazing but Crooked is head and shoulders above. No one can rap the way this man does, the cadence combined with heavy punchlines and double/triple entendres is just crazy.
"You don't think that Crooked I's hot? Why not? Is it because my mind box in your blind spot? I sleep with one eye open like an insomnia stricken cyclops so I can rest in that pine box!" I think this is the best verse i've ever heard.
"See my momma named me Dominick, thats synonymous, with ominous, i'm in this, game to show you what drama is, i'm in this game to conquer it" ugh, dude to sick, best in group.
"Look at the DuPont registry...that's my garage". Cali Crooked shredded that beat. So glad that this crew exists and that they're getting the play they deserve.
full109 Joe is better than Joell.. I’d take Royce over all of em but Joe’s content elevates him over Crook in my eyes. Crook is great for a verse but I’d rather hear a Joe album
Brandon Reed nah bra I can’t agree with that, I agree with the album thing tho but when I hear slaughter house all together on they song it seem Joel outshines joe ALOT I can’t think of to many verses joe had that’s better the Joel and they left joe off a lot of they songs. Crooked is good for a verse but I’m talking bout who raps better if crook is good for a few verses his verses will outshine joes I’m not talking about music I’m talking bout who rap better crook cyphers are better than joe again imo bar for bar

Old as this is? 24 years years ago he was putting heat down on Kurupt's "I ain't sh.. without my homeboys"
"What Challenger can Dodge my barrage" Luv that!!!
I haven't heard amazing lyrics in years, glad I clicked on this video

I think he's the most underrated rapper, he's got flow, longevit, punchlines and the dude is funny
he's in my top 3 in the game right now along with Kendrick and Eminem
Mazza Scazza I agree hopefully Slaughterhouses next album will get them more recognition their all dope and could go bar for bar with anyone in the game and body most of them ain't nobody fuckin with EM + Slaughterhouse!!!
Jesus Christ. They all went hard but Crooked murdered that shit.
they gave him Shook Ones, he had to kill it
Still in 2021 one of the best freestyles of all time. Crook went OFF🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wish it was 2021😢

wow that Em & Sway interview took me back to the archives
Crook is such a legend he absolutely murdered this freestyle and its not even close...
However many years later and this bumps harder then anything out currently . They need to get this group back together the world needs it

Joe Budden]
Some dudes drink away the pain, I think of ways to gain
And it happens so naturally you think it's preordained
Straight from Lyor's Reign, escape from that ball and chain
Couldn't tell if I was in it for the long haul or fame, wait
See, I'm layin' low on the island
I been learned that saying no is a talent
Jokers want beef but keepin' up is a challenge
Can't tell if I'm tryna get even or find a balance
But I'm much closer, I won't front
Broads love it, so sober but so blunt
A charming asshole, want him all the same
Tell him I feel the ice as its forming in my veins
Chasin' the high so much that we both hurtin'
To the point it ain't even about the other person
So we even, I'm in love with her rear and where I would be
And she in love with the idea of what I could be
On top of the world but desire to fall
But what's the point of dreamin' big if you acquired it all
But if lyricism is back, we helped it spearhead
If we orderin' CL's make mine a year ahead
I skip the club line and don't get turned around
So girls come at a high volume I don't turn them down
No pregnant broads and no minors, A1 bars with Em as a co-signer
I hit jeweler without checking the cost yet
I ain't rich my dude, but peep the way I offset
Don't be confused by the Bentleys and the Corvettes
Got stories from my hood that'll rival those of war vets
Jersey City helped 'em mold to what I amounted to
My only beef is that they don't hold itself accountable so
A few resent me, but I'm cool with it
They handed me the city before I knew what to do with it
G B nah, he might have been the lowest. All 4 are great but if we ranking, joe is last.
Tripping. If anybody was the weak link, it was Royce
Henry Hernandez well if you thought that, you are wrong. Royce is better than Joel, joe(retired) and crook at this moment. He’s getting better period
