Why Eminem's Rap Supergroup Failed

[@Thysta]

Agreed!!! I love all these guys lyrically. But many times it sounded a little “dated”. People like myself who just love lyricism will give them a listen. But the average consumer wants to hear something that they can relate to. Not just complex rapping. Again I love that type of stuff cuz I’m just a Rap junkie. But the average listener don’t wanna hear that.

Yeah man, first he was kinda shunned by Snoop, then he chose Deathrow over Aftermath and wasted four years of his career (probably would have happened on Aftermath as well), then he pretty much just became a freestyler and mix tape rapper, seemed this was his big break (Shady records) and then even that failed. Dude is SUPER talented and been around all the big guns and just had ZERO luck.

Raskass' Van gough situation was another, The L.B.C crew album never coming out, Crooked I's Deathrow years, Canibus's first album, The Gravediggaz second album, Snoops second album. Off the top of my head they are the biggest disappointments. I do like the second Gravediggaz album and i grew to love Tha Doggfatha album, its a great album but didn't live up to Doggystyle. Detox never coming out and then the disappointing "Compton" album would be another. I heard that Busta was going to still drop another Aftermath album? peopel sleeping on Xzibits Napalm album is disappointing as well, great album.

[@nu-metalfan2654]

@Vincent Louise Beltran. Bingo, you understand how mainstream music works. In order for an artist to break out into the mainstream, be it Rap or other types of genres, you either need backing from mainstream record companies or a gimmick that can sell. Eminem got success because of his Comedy Rap/Horrorcore style gimmick in his early years. Mainstream record companies have always targeted a young audience and groups like Slaughterhouse just don't resonate with a young audience.

[@fredstolperman2785]

This might be true, but the weakness was failing to impress an audience, and the reason for that wasn't that music dumbed down (otherwise Kendrick or J.Cole wouldn't sell), the problem with slaughterhouse was just being too much and uninspired regarding the art part. They might rap very good, but they haven't had anything remarkable.

[@sumwhatkeezy]

For me the album just didn't have the right production and even though they didn't need features some dope lyricist features and also big time EMINEM himself should have dropped some dope verses on there.

[@KarlMarkyMarxx]

I'd pinpoint it to two things: 1) The first album sounded too commercial and alienated their core fans at a crucial moment in their career 2) (the one none of them will admit to) There's no defining personalities within the group that could draw in new fans. Outside of hardcore hip hop circles, their appeal is weak. It's really evident in the marketing and bland visual presentation. They basically leaned entirely on their mic skills to sell themselves and assumed that would be enough. Besides that there isn't anything about them that really stands out and makes outsiders want to pay attention. That limited their appeal strictly to their established fanbases and essentially cripples their commericial potential right out of the gate.

I was a huge Slaughterhouse fan, Welcome to: Our House was off the mark but looking back, and taking it for what it is, it is a good album. But Royce hit it on the head when he said that too many pop songs were picked for that album. Now would it have sold more if it was fire? Probably, but it's hard to say. I went to see them live in Royal Oak (near Detroit) prior to the album dropping and it was a small venue, a couple hundred people there if that. So I don't know that the internet buzz translated to success, and that's all Em was going for with the pop tracks, so I don't blame him too much, because there was a time when Em was HEAVY promoting the group, moreso than any of the other rappers on his label other than 50 and Yelawolf, maybe.

[@jalazel6447]

The fault falls on Em & Paul. Em said, "oh, i just went in and polished it" when anyone who is thinking about music isnt thinking, lets polish Fucking Slaughterhouse 🤦‍♂️ Joe had an issue with how Em mixed it, and choose the tracklist without their input. Royce says as nicely as possible, that there was too many radio songs, and thats how Em wouldve done his own album without saying that he ruined the project thinking about money. Juelz straight up said management, and crook is sitting there blaming Joe bc to him as long as Joe wouldve shut up and let this happen, they couldve still been around 😂 its not hard to see. Shady tried to make Slaughterhouse into a Pop Rap super Group, favoritism towards Royce made the others hella jealous, Royce's loyalty to Em meant that Slaughterhouse wouldnt ever being going anywhere outside of Shady Records, Em and Paul wouldnt even let them open for him, then Em gonna act stupid to Sway.

Secondly, "bars" DON'T guarantee great records✋ These guys can spit, but their songs don't connect with the public🤷‍♂️ For example... B.I.G. had far more than just "bars"...he had great OVERALL rap style, charisma and a keen perspective, which resulted in timeless classics; songs that are relatable💯 His songs *feel good*👍👍 He made it all seem so effortless, too..he had a knack for it👌 On the other hand...
