Where is this Slaughterhouse interview?
But yeah, as a whole they could be Morton Salt spokesmen and they all are perpetually on their male periods. McDonalds could save millions a year by playing a Slaughterhouse album next to the french fry warmer instead of using actual salt.

listened to two 90s albums over the weekend:
+(Front)+RapPalata.net.jpg)
I had heard The Big Picture, but never Lifestylez in its entirety. The guy was a punchline rapper with actual punchlines, not corny similes and thoughtless word association. A complete package of an emcee...flow, humor, storytelling, a shit load of charisma...it is a shame that he never really got to shine.
Now onto Black Reign....how come I have never heard anyone ever talk about this shit even once in my life? I downloaded it on a whim not really knowing what to expect and it ends up being incredible. Queen Latifah surprised the hell outta me....she was spittin, singing (well) and had some great beats and concepts. Everybody needs to give this a listen.

Here's my take on Weeknd vs. Frank Ocean
It really is an apples to oranges comparison. Although I've badmouthed Channel Orange, I've enjoyed Frank's work and I even fuck with like a quarter of that album. The problems I had with some of the tracks are that they really do sound rather safe despite the bi-sexual lyricism. The best tracks on the albums are those in which both the production and lyrics have bite and showcase a real fluidity. Frank seems to sound better over rather bare production, with a bit of grit. Crack Rock is ingenius, but if the production would have just reached a little darker it would have been monumental. Too often throughout the album do the songs begin to reach this sort of comfort level, resulting in them sounding like Musiq b-sides. Frank's lyricism also sometimes reaches too far for an out-of-place metaphor, Forest Gump is really cheesy because of this. If Weeknd's strength is his immediacy then Frank's weakness might just be his reliance on doublespeak.
The Weeknd as alluded to previously makes song for the moment. The lyrical comparison is ridiculous, as The Weeknd freestyles verses and choruses and suits his music for entirely different purposes. Channel Orange relaxes and puts you to bed, while The Weeknd's music is better suited for getting her or him in bed. The Weeknd's creative success is definitely more tied to the production than Frank, but I wouldn't say this as an artistic detractor. In fact, you could make the argument for the contrary, given that The Weeknd has such a direct control over every facet of his music, and as a result he has fewer contemporaries. There are only Weeknd clones.
The library comparison goes as follows: Frank has the best album, but The Weeknd has twice as many good songs.
Edit: Also I really am confused as to why Bj The Chicago Kid isn't mentioned more

I dig it, but I prefer high pitched Danny.
The laugh track is distracting as fuck, but I do like these type of animated shorts.
What a cool guy

I went to school with these guys. Never could get into them.
It might be the hip hop equivalent of a McDouble, but this shit is catchy. Swag rap.

I dont hate him. Im a huge X fan, but what ive heard of the album so far is ass. Ill stay hopeful though, and i probably will cop the album regardless.

Just finished listening to the album.[first time] It's good. I usually listen to it more than once but this is my first impression. X always delivers.

Thats good to hear. How many songs are on it? And how many songs Dame Grease produce?
With artists I really like I wait until I have the actual CD before listening to it. Ill probably pick it over the next day or two. Looking forward to hearing it, im not expecting him to drop a classic, but its been a while since i played through a new X album.
Lets not have this conversation again.
Wheres that 90s playlist you promised us??

Royce and Kanye had some issues 6-7 years back over THIS track being leaked without Royce having paid for it. I wouldn't be surprised if he's still a bit salty over how that went down and is dying for a way to take shots.
Never knew about this. I doubt he can even recall such a thing but it probably just stings even more with this in the back of his head.
He did preface with no disrespect to Kanye at all in any way, but it seems like he just had a way it was all phrased or the implications of what he said. Basically getting cheesed off of semantics. I don't think he wants beef, he knows throwing shots at Kanye is a no-no in the industry unless your the based god.
Royce has been weird as fuck in interviews recently, constantly bringing up his marriage breaking up recently, etc. I'm not sure if this is just part of the PR cycle or dude is just in a vulnerable state right now.

Got some shit to say about that Weeknd/Ocean shit earlier
Weeknd = Frank Ocean
Fuckin' to Weekend is like, get up from behind and kiss the back of her neck as you lightly choke her to climax, Frank is more like, throw her around the bed and leave no blankets on the actual bed because you're switchin' shit up every two minutes.
Either way, I'm getting laid and it's cool.
Question,
Busta only had 2 hot albums right? The Coming and When Disaster Strikes...
right?
