Filed under Opinion, The Immersion, Joell OrtizI finally understood the struggle in his voice. I understood the stories of crack-dealing in his songs and their foundations in his reality. I understood that Joell wasn’t just some artist who had signed a contract to work with Dr. DreSee more...

Posted by Nathan S. on 08/20/12 |
Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Mixtapes, Joe Budden, Slaughterhouse, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I, Royce da 5 9Here's how the pessimistic (some might say realistic) part of me views this new Slaughterhouse "On the House" mixtape. Their upcoming "welcome to: OUR HOUSE" album is going to be a disappointing mess of wannabe radio singles. Listen and download...See more...

Posted by Nathan S. on 08/13/12 |
Filed under Downloads, Joe Budden, Slaughterhouse, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I, Royce da 5 9, Shady RecordsHow fitting. Just when we were in the midst of discussing how everything from Slaughterhouse's upcoming official album hasn't been nearly as good as their free shit, the Shady Records crew goes and drops off exactly what we've been waiting for in the form of "See Dead People".

Slaughterhouse’s “Hammer Dance” Sadly Bereft of Dancing MC Hammer (Listen & Download)
Posted by Nathan S. on 03/03/12 |
Filed under Refined Picks, Downloads, Joe Budden, Slaughterhouse, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I, Royce Da 5 9Produced by noted Cam Newton workout DJ AraabMuzik, first official single "Hammer Dance' is a little more laid back than I'd like, but that's a nitpick complaint when we're getting bars like these. As for those bars, I'm not going to get into some "who had the best verse?" shit, but I can tell you who had the best line: See more...

Posted by Nathan S. on 12/22/11 |
Filed under Top Stories, Refined Picks, Joe Budden, Freestyles, Slaughterhouse, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I, Royce da 5 9Whether it was "The Illest". unquestionably the best BET Cypher or anything else they even considered rhyming on, in many ways 2011 was the Year of Slaughterhouse. No one's bringing back that classic hip-hop "just rhyming as dopely as possible' feel than Budden, Crooked, Royce and Ortiz. The best rapper is the one who raps the best. Imagine that.

The “Hard White (Remix)” is Wack. Just Kidding, It’s F**king Dope (Listen & Download)
Posted by Nathan S. on 11/03/11 |
Filed under Top Stories, Refined Picks, Downloads, T.I., Yelawolf, Joe Budden, Remixes, Slaughterhouse, Joell Ortiz, Royce da 5 9Is there a safer bet in hip-hop right now than Slaughterhouse? That's a rhetorical question. No, there's not. There's exactly a 0.0% chance they're dropping something wack, and the same goes for Yelawolf. As for T.I.? Maybe not as dependable, but when he's on, he's fucking on. In other words, there was never any doubt that Yela's "Hard White (Remix)" would sound dope. Listen and download...See more...

Frankly, it's not even close. Not even a little bit. Right now there's Slaughter, and then there's everyone else. See more...

Posted by Nathan S. on 10/13/11 |
Filed under Top Stories, Refined Picks, Downloads, Eminem, Yelawolf, Joe Budden, Slaughterhouse, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I, Royce da 5 9After we all instantly and unanimously agreed that the Shady Records BET Cypher put every other cypher in a choke hold and put it to sleep (no offense Tity Boi) we finally and inevitably have the high quality audio. I know I put the video right above, but I recommend listening to this at least the first time around on audio only. You'll catch a lot of lines on headphones only mode that you miss on the visuals.
