1) Slaughterho… Read Full Bio ↴There are several bands with the name Slaughterhouse:
1) Slaughterhouse is a Hip Hop group consisting of rappers Crooked I, Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz and Royce Da 5'9". The group formed in late 2008 after Crooked I, Joell Ortiz and Royce Da 5'9" appeared on the song "Slaughterhouse" from Joe Budden's album Halfway House. They took their name from the song.
The members of Slaughterhouse all share some degree of controversy from their past in the music industry. Crooked I (Long Beach, CA) was signed to Suge Knight's Death Row label from 1999-2003, but left after his projects were shelved amidst the disintegration of the label due to Knight's continuing problems with the law. Joe Budden (Jersey City, NJ) had initial success when he signed to Def Jam in the early 2000s, but for reasons unknown, fell out of favor with Jay-Z when the latter became head of the label. Budden eventually left Def Jam and released a diss track to Jay-Z entitled "Talk to 'em." Joell Ortiz (New York, NY) was signed to Dr. Dre's Aftermath label but left after he was informed that his album would not be released until both Eminem and Dr. Dre released their respective projects. Finally, Royce Da 5'9" (Detroit, MI) is known for his falling out and feud with Eminem and D12, though the two sides have since reconciled.
All four men address these issues in the Slaughterhouse song "Move On (Slaughter House Remix)," informing any interviewers out there that their pasts are behind them and that questions pertaining to these events are not relevant. A video for the song was released in March 2009.
Their self-titled debut album, Slaughterhouse, was released on August 11, 2009 on E1 Music. The album was reportedly recorded over a six day period in early June. The album features production from Focus, The Alchemist, DJ Khalil, StreetRunner and D12's Mr. Porter.
On June 18th, 2009, the first street single off the album was released via Joe Budden's twitter. The track is "Hood Hop" (formerly known as "Woodstock") and features M.O.P. on the hook.
The first official single from the album will be "The One". A video directed by Rik Cordero has already been shot.
It was announced that "Woodstock" will not be on the final cut of the album due to sample clearance issues.
The debut album by Slaughterhouse was leaked to the internet late Friday, July 31st.
2) Slaughterhouse is an American post-punk band from Los Angeles, California. Original members include Eddie Cairns, Gaby Ramirez, Nick Aguilar and Taylor Ramirez.

Presents, The Way It began
"Let's see now
First thing I can remember is an evening years back
The four of us was together even then
And from that time on, nothing was ever gonna be quite the same again
Yeah, especially us"
G-G-God given, I'm killin' this bomb bidniz
I'm calling rap that because I put my time in it
I-I don't mind being ready to die as long as this is at an arena
And we did it and my momma seen it
This is my arm swinging and my alarm ringing
Fighting against time but writing is on
Singing the light on my wall or just look how the mighty have fallen
You fell for it, say bye to them, say hi to Ryan mature
I can't (lose) 'cause God won't let me (lose)
Bet against me you can go (lose)
Anybody can tell you (nah) nah
I knew the cats knew I was down so I fell back
Hit the ground, landed on my feet vertical, fell back too, so you can (lose)
I will never lay down and (lose), I was definitely about to (lose)
Then Eminem came like (βnahβ) βnahβ
This shit is entertaining, listen to the shit they saying
Venom is spraying which is why all I know is
I'm on a all time ultimate high inspired by all time low
How quick are you gonna get up
How quick are you gonna get up
How quick are you gonna get up
How quick are you gonna get up
In these days life is short, shots'a try to end you
And this game is like a sport, comp'll try to pen you
I leave the stage on life support when I rock a venue
If you ain't got a knife and fork you're probably on the menu
If I ain't make history before I left
It will be like using my last important breath before my death for snorting meth
More or less, I'm, Jordan-esque, I ignore the refs
I son you like you morphed into a Orphan yes
Nah, I never (lose) yeah, you said I would (lose)
My destiny said (nah), homie you went against me
Foolish as Judas, nigga you're lost
Now I'm feeling like Black Jesus, wrong nigga to cross won't (lose)
If I refuse to (lose) the fact that I used to (lose) is making me say (βnahβ)
This is how we attacking it, four rappers who passionate
Took the idea of a group and re-imagined it without planning it
Now the whole planet has to admit that's the shit
How quick are you gonna get up
How quick are you gonna get up
How quick are you gonna get up
How quick are you gonna get up
Anybody I'll invite into a crazy party
Have some fun, blocking the sun with the Shady Army
These women they feeling like skin, baby, they be on me
My flow water for sure, I'm a great tsunami
I'm with my awesome clique on another touring trip
From front of the stage all the way back to the door it's thick
Like secretly filming a mob, we recording hits
What a fucking lifestyle, maybe that's why I'm on my dick
(Lose) Man, I ain't about to (lose) I don't know how to (lose)
You beating the yaowa (nah) Mr. Ortiz I got you
Can't find a reason not to, my ink, take 'em to church
Guess you could call it pentecostal, man Eminem told me (lose) yourself
So how can I (lose) focus, you roaches
In combat so war? (nah), but if y'all need me to make it clear
For those slightly impaired
Like a flat in a snowstorm with no gas we ain't going nowhere
We the sixty minute group, this year finna be our year!
How quick are you gonna get up
How quick are you gonna get up
How quick are you gonna get up
How quick are you gonna get up
A mixture of showman and skill, imposing my will
A visionary, want me with my back to the ground, I ain't with the missionary
Walk in my shoes and reap all of that gain
Along with every invisible woe that accompanies fame
Louis Vuitton frames cover the scars that go with stardom
Got enemies that I birthed these bars is for both pardon
So I taught me to steal plate, they threatening me from behind a condom
But you can't scream, fuck me! Then feel safe you just (lose)
Some people are praying I (lose), I thought I was set up to (lose)
Then Slaughterhouse came like (nah) nah
So I live by a real simple philosophy
If you stay grounded watch God keep giving you reasons not to be, can't (lose)
It's not in my plan to (lose), if I still happen to (lose)
Is that even possible (nah), keep that out of my reach
Still I'm praying the shit get manifested
Let the flow stage dive and hope for the fans to catch it
If you ever persevered you should understand the message
How quick are you gonna get up
How quick are you gonna get up
How quick are you gonna get up
How quick are you gonna get up
The rest, what they say, is history

If I don't achieve greatness, it would be a waste and similar to throwing away my life with drug use
More or less, I'm, Jordan-esque, I ignore the refs
I am a dominant force in the rap game, like Michael Jordan in basketball, and don't let critics or doubters affect me
I son you like you morphed into a Orphan yes
I dominate and outperform my competition, making them feel like helpless orphans

Destiny is on my side and I won't fail because of it, despite opposition
Foolish as Judas, nigga you're lost
Those who doubt me are like Judas, a biblical figure who betrayed Jesus, and are misguided and lost
Now I'm feeling like Black Jesus, wrong nigga to cross won't (lose)
I feel indestructible and unstoppable, like a divine figure, and anyone who messes with me will regret it

This is how we attacking it, four rappers who passionate

You beating the yaowa (nah) Mr. Ortiz I got you

Can't find a reason not to, my ink, take 'em to church
My lyrics are powerful and inspiring, and can have a profound impact on my listeners
Guess you could call it pentecostal, man Eminem told me (lose) yourself
My lyrics are so moving, they could be compared to the energy of a Pentecostal church service, and Eminem inspired me to put everything into my work with 'Lose Yourself'
So how can I (lose) focus, you roaches
With my talent and drive, there's no way I can lose or lose focus, especially not to those who are insignificant like roaches
In combat so war? (nah), but if y'all need me to make it clear
The rap game isn't a literal war, but I'm always ready to come out on top and clarify my status as a top rapper
For those slightly impaired
For those who don't fully understand or appreciate my talent and success

We may face difficult challenges or obstacles, but we won't give up or fail because we are prepared and persistent
