Slaughterhouse talks about the art of the cipher.

Joell Ortiz’s grandmother has passed away, resulting in him leaving the Tech N9Ne/Slaughterhouse tour for the time being.

Our condolences to his family.

3/4 of Slaughterhouse dropped by B96 and Peter Parker had them each write a verse in 10 minutes and drop them one after the other.

When “Forever” dropped, it seemed to quickly be one of the most talked about singles of the year. As all of the emcees went through their verses, Eminem clearly murdered the track. Hands down, in my eyes anyway.

With the video for “Forever”, when it was Eminem’s turn to spit on the track, you could see Slaughterhouse standing behind him dressed in all black. Apparently this was a way to let the fans know that Slaughterhouse and Slim Shady are in negotiations.

The rumors have been flying and running rampant with the possibility of Slaughterhouse signing with Shady Records. But nothing has been confirmed by either crew.

I have to agree with my dude Caesar. It was nice seeing Royce The 5′9′” standing behind Em in the video.

Slaughterhouse discuss with Vanessa how many chances a guy should get to prove himself in bed before he gets his ass dumped. Pause.

DJ Hotsauce managed to catch up with Joell Ortiz and Crooked I at their release party for their Slaughterhouse album. DJ Premier also makes a quick appearance.

Joe Budden stays clowning on Freqshow’s trouble with the ladies and Joell Ortiz gets his ass kicked in basketball by a chick.

Slaughterhouse finally speaks up about the Joe Budden / Raekwon situation. Joe Budden wasn’t in attendance to make a comment, but it’s nice to see the rest of ‘em are on the same page, and ready to move on.

Sometimes, we as fans thrive off that hip hop drama, but for real, we don’t need to lose any ill emcees or any human beings in general, for the sake of our own entertainment. I wish Slaughterhouse and Wu Tang both, the best of luck in the future.

The most important game show ever. LOL at having a Dell be such a lame thing that even rap groups clown themselves for it.

Joell Ortiz talks about why everyone might not like Joe Budden.
