Yelawolf, Slaughterhouse & Eminem cover the new XXL

With news of Slaughterhouse signing with Shady last week, this XXL cover confirms it all, as well as Yelawolf's spot in the camp (he's so under the radar it's sick).  If this is the new Shady Fam, I'm a fan all over again.  And for the record, I still fucks with D12.  Pick up the new XXL ASAP

Slaughterhouse Feat. Dres- "Back On The Scene"


Royce Da 5’9”, Crooked I, Joell Ortiz and Joe Budden, along with Black Sheep front man Dres are all letting us know that Hip-Hop’s Transformers, Slaughterhouse, are officially Back on the Scene. With a line up like this, and the damn near classic album they dropped in ’09, I for one have been fiendin’ for more from the group. Since then, all of them have dropped fire mixtapes or freestyles, and being the borderline stan I am for Slaughterhouse, my expectations based on recent material has been sky high. Honestly, I’m not sure if this lives up to them. While all of them bodied their verses over M-Phazes’ bouncy, throwback influenced track (peep the The Choice is Yours sample), it was almost like I’ve been spoiled by their over-lyricism, so when they don’t come as hard as possible, I feel cheated. But that’s my hang up. Dres’ hook brings back memories of a time when spitting like these guys was the norm and his voice definitely brings his signature energy to the track. So let the debate begin! Who came hardest? Good use of the sample? Are you picking up the new LP on Feb. 8th?
