Slaughter House 2010 Interview (On-Air Idiot Show)

On-Air Idiots ask Joey, Joell, Crook & Royce Da 5’9″ about beats they had first in their solo careers that later went on to become hits.

Joell says he regrets passing on producer Red Spyda’s “Good Love”, which became Sheek’s last chart hit in 2008.

Joey says he two-track’d Swizz Beatz’ “I’m A Hustla” & “Bring ‘Em Out” a year before they came out. He pushed hard for Def Jam to purchase them but they refused. (…Jay wasn’t president until 2005, long after those singles dropped…)

Royce tells the infamous story about “Renegade”. Royce felt they could do better when Em & him made it, so they left it on the shelf until Jay called… He blames it on being overcritical of himself when he’s in a creative mindframe.

Crook says he passed on C. Delores Tucker’s favorite, Tupac’s “How Do U Want It”, when he had his first record deal with Virgin.

They also name current beats they’d like to freestyle over as a group, whether they think lyricists can still make money in Hip-Hop, and who would be a good 5th member of Slaughterhouse.
