Slaughterhouse & Cee-Lo Green Seek Radio Domination With “My Life” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Danielle Harling on 04/25/12 | Filed under Downloads, Slaughterhouse, Cee-Lo

Alright, radio domination is a slight exaggeration but it looks like Slaughterhouse might just have themselves a radio hit with this one. I will say that you definitely have to give "My Life" a few listens before you can find yourself getting into the song. Listen and download...

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, Joell Ortiz, Slaughterhouse, Joe Budden, Crooked I, Royce Da 5 9

Produced 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:

Crooked I & Slaughterhouse Battle the “Monsters in My Head” (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 02/20/12 | Filed under Refined Picks, Downloads, Slaughterhouse, Crooked I

As I've written before, Crooked I is the most overlooked member of Slaughterhouse (if this were the Beatles he'd be George Harrison), but that's more because he doesn't have the headline-commanding personality of Royce and Budden then any lack of skill. Listen and download...

Slaughterhouse’s Hot 97 Cypher is 2011’s Classic Hip-Hop (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 12/22/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Refined Picks, Freestyles, Joell Ortiz, Slaughterhouse, Joe Budden, Crooked I, Royce da 5 9

Whether 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, Remixes, Joell Ortiz, Slaughterhouse, Joe Budden, Royce da 5 9

Is 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...

Slaughterhouse Is Indeed “The Illest”, It’s Not Even a Debate (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 10/14/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Downloads, Joell Ortiz, Slaughterhouse, Joe Budden, Crooked I, Royce da 5 9

I don't think there was really any debate before, but after their BET Cypher all of RefinedHype Nation, and Hip-Hop Nation at large, has unanimously agreed that Slaughterhouse is the best crew in the game. Frankly, it's not even close. Not even a little bit. Right now there's Slaughter, and then there's everyone else.

Shady Records’ Ridiculously Dope Cypher, Now For Your iPod (Listen & Download)

Posted by Nathan S. on 10/13/11 | Filed under Top Stories, Refined Picks, Downloads, Eminem, Yelawolf, Joell Ortiz, Slaughterhouse, Joe Budden, Crooked I, Royce da 5 9

After 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.

Let’s Just Take A Minute To Admire This Shady 2.0 Hip-Hop Awards Cypher (Video)

Oddly enough, if BET combined all the Hip-Hop cyphers into one they'd have over half-an-hour's worth of footage. Hint! Hint! Drop the awards and performances we just want cyphers! It's no question that the Shady 2.0 cypher was the hands down favorite of the show, but does anyone have any other favorites? I thought the B.o.B cypher was pretty on point. See more...

Slaughterhouse Address Joe Budden Meeting Women on Twitter & More In New Interview (Video)

I love how every time Jeff and Eric are done throwing out their hilarious list of "A.K.A's" the rapper(s) they're interviewing looks absolutely confused. And Joe Budden is such an energy killer in this interview, "I'm Joe man..." But shout out to Joell Ortiz, the interviewer and blogger, for bringing the energy back up after Budden. See more...
