Slaughterhouse - Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, Royce da 5'9 and Crooked I
Review: Slaughterhouse 'Move On'
This is actually a pretty good group, this song amazed me. I saw a freestyle they did, and I was really looking forward to Crooked I's verse and he spit an old one (the one I have in an older post from the Wake Up Show). I just assumed that this would be a group of graveyard rappers who are all still struggling to make it after so many set backs. This song actually explained to me why and perfectly captured my attention and changed my mind quickly. The song is called Move On and in each verse the artists all clear up their past issues that have been the main focus on them. It just proves that a good conceptual song can be done extremely well and lyrically SICK. They all spit mad long too which is rare in todays music and if someone does do it most of the time I'm hoping they stop, but these cats deserve to spit that long and they keep it interesting.
Royce surprised me here, I thought he would be a weak link but he actually had the least lyrical verse but it had a strong impact due to the content and I lost myslef following his style and began just listening to the story, everyone else killed it as well, Budden surprised me too, I sleep on him alot for some reason. But this is a supergroup and this song is the perfect intro to their legacy together. It puts the past in the past an answers any questions you may have about them while at the same displaying exactly why these guys make a great group and how they relate to each other through their past experiences.
The beat is sick, very musical, Ortiz and Crooked I are Crazy as always.. The video is good, creative, props...
Move on... I have moved on and I look forward to hearing more from these cats! Peace... Lordroc..
