Budden rhymes, "My men think in sync, roll with the best crew/ Move to the beat of the same drum without Lex Luger," which might be a savvy big-up to a young producer who wants to branch out from what he's done with Waka Flocka Flame and Gucci Mane. Of course, maybe this is one last showcase for those who don't know who they are, before they start bringing in better producers for their actual record. They already know that their vocals alone won't make a hit. It stays out of the way of the vocals-which is exactly what Slaughterhouse doesn't need. The beat, though, is "hard" but not that interesting, especially since the hook is just Eminem singing an utterly un-catchy two-line chorus. (After all, as 8 Mile enshrined on film, that's his origin story.) All six rappers have great verses with clever punchlines, sure, but one would expect no less from any of these rappers. (Yelawolf probably would have made it either way.) But if "2.0 Boys" is exemplary of the music that will follow, "Shady 2.0" is less about underwriting the cost of getting Slaughterhouse in the studio with good producers to write great rap songs, and more about reaffirming Eminem as a "good rapper" in that rap-battle sense. The "Shady 2.0" deal at first looked to be Slaughterhouse's big break. Fridays et al.) When he, Royce, and Ortiz were invited to be on a Budden track called "Slaughterhouse," the four hit it off and realized that they were all stuck as "good rappers" in the post-Rakim NYC-rap battle sense, but without any mainstream success-so why not team up? Some time afterward, the group, named for their first collaboration, was signed to Shady Records, along with Yelawolf, who had been building his own buzz on a different Interscope subsidiary with the retail mixtape Trunk Muzik 0-60. Crooked I was tied up in all sorts of contracts with labels that were unable to put out any of his records for a number of reasons (Death Row, for example, didn't really function when Suge Knight went to jail), and in 2007, after 12 luckless years started releasing one freestyle a week for a year (a precursor to G.O.O.D.

He shouldn't have said all of that unnecessary shit on the podcast. Joe Budden got closest to big success with 2003's Just Blaze-produced, Grammy-nominated hit "Pump It Up"-but he and Def Jam parted ways due to differing expectations about his second record. Budden kept claiming the line was wack or that the podcast wasn't a reaction out of hate, yet he kept coming back to that one line - and the part about Eminem was actually him throwing a tantrum and claiming shit he just spat out of pure hate. Joell Ortiz was signed and dropped from both So So Def and Aftermath, though he was arguably never a priority at either label. Dre but had a disastrous falling out and no success recovering. Royce da 5'9" famously came up with Eminem and Dr. Slaughterhouse (Royce da 5'9", Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, and Crooked I) all proved themselves in the rap-nerd internet world after their attempts to break through solo met with varying levels of failure. Too bad its beat is only passable and its hook nearly nonexistent. On an episode of Everyday Struggle with DJ Akademiks in May, Budden stated that Eminem has two bad albums. Because in my quest to hurt him, I realized that I was hurting a lot of other people by saying it.The first song recorded with all the members of "Shady 2.0" since their signing and appearance on the cover of XXL, "2.0 Boys" is a stellar showcase of the skills of all MCs involved. Joe Budden (JoeBudden) December 13, 2017. The word that I called him on… that song was one of the things where I felt like, this might be too far. I was angry when I said the shit about Tyler. I’m not going let everybody just… I’m not gonna be America’s punching bag. “When Tyler tweeted out the thing about ‘Walk on Water,’ ‘this fucking song is horrible.’ I was like alright, ‘I need to say something now,'” Eminem told Sway In The Morning in a 2018 interview. We rewound it and were like: ‘Oh.’ And then kept playing.”Įminem later expressed regret over the lyrics, saying it was an ill-conceived response to Tyler’s criticism of “Walk on Water. He felt pressured because people got offended for me.

In 2018, Eminem released Kamikaze album which included the song “Fall.” He took aim at a number of hip-hop figures, including Joe Budden and Lord Jamar but Em’s attack on the Tyler, the Creator was by far the most controversial, as it was widely criticized as homophobic: “Tyler create nothin’, I see why you called yourself a fa**ot, b**ch.”īut it appears Tyler wasn’t too fazed by the lyrics.
