Dear You,

Way to go internetters. Pat yourselves on the back. Run laps of joy. You have now officially exiled yourselves from marketplace relevance. Slaughterhouse sold last week.

Congrats, you are a nobody.

ragamuffins about your dependency on free downloading, and did anyone listen? Nope. You had a chance to prove yourselves and the Slaughterhouse album flopped. Plain and simple it did Brooke Hogan numbers.

The Interweb has been going bonkers since Mouse, Royce, Joell and Crooked announced they would join to form a blogger’s Wet Dream Team (ll). , and aside, Slaughterhouse has seemed to be able to do no wrong, which is rare considering that they’re swimming in a thinktank of scrutiny and angry commenters. Almost every bar has been met with e-oohs and ahhs. And the album is dope. .

Still. 18 stacks?

Slaughterhouse is an Internet phenomenon. It is full of MCs that have gained recognition via the blogs and produced an album catered completely to the sites & their visitors without even a dream of a crossover hit. And out of the tens of thousands of Internet Hip-Hop fans that frequent TSS, Nah Right, etc. all we could muster up was 18,000 purchases - much lower than the already measly 23-25K the album was expected to sell. And I know you got the album. It’s been all anyone could talk about for the past two weeks. And despite how dope you thought it was, it still apparently wasn’t purchase-worthy.

Ladies and gents, you have now reserved the right to shut the fuck up. No more complaining about Wale making songs with and . No more grumbling because Wayne has too many “Ms. Officers” on his album. Zip it. Why would a label care what you think? You’re not affecting the marketplace and in the grand scheme of things, the 18,000 albums you’re going to buy are just a drop in the bucket compared to the sales that “selling out” provides.

For these execs, money = power and our reliance on Rapidshare has squandered any perceived power the net had left. This shows that no artist can be completely sustainable on Internet support alone. Trust, the labels were watching.
This was a test.

Your grade? F. A big fat F to everyone.

the members of Slaughterhouse are all decent emcees and can be lyrical but i really hope their next album goes together more and is more cohesive and better thought out and planned. Maybe work with some different/better producers that would fit them better.

Im just on the fence as to whether i like the album or not. Its got a handful of dope tracks and theres some dope lines scattered throughout but overall as an album im having a hard time saying its a "good" album. Ive seen people on other forums and sites calling it a classic and that its great but i dont see that at all. Its got its moments but its definately not classic. I think they are capable of putting out alot better shit than some of the shit they have put out so far.
