Slaughterhouse is getting to know Eminem and vice versa. Royce Da 5'9's relationship with Slim goes way back, but there's always an adjustment period when you start a new job. Which is essentially what Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz, Crooked I and Royce did when they signed a recording contract with Shady Records earlier this year.
SH sat down with MTV recently and explained why Eminem has turned to be the ideal boss.
"He's kinda walking eggshells around us creatively. He's telling us basically, 'Do exactly what y'all did last time. We're just gonna do it on a bigger level. Y'all don't need me to make records; y'all can do that,'" Royce said "It's more of a bonding thing. They all play basketball at the studio, and it's just them getting to know him better and making his comfort level high with them, because he met them when we signed the deal."
Budden paid Eminem maybe the biggest compliment when he said that Em still loves the hip-hop culture as much as ever.
"Being with him, you just totally forget that he's one of the dopest rappers and he's so successful. He's a great person, and he's still a humungous fan of the culture and very much in tune with what's happening," Budden said.
As far as their Shady Records debut album Royce said earlier in the week that the album was about 70% complete. It's possible we may see a single by December.
One thing is for certain, Eminem has made a very positive impression on the group.
"He really is a fan too, though. He's a fan of Slaughterhouse. When he comes in and listens to songs, it's not to critique them; it's to listen," Joell said.
