So how many Best Of 2012 lists did Slaughter & Yela make?

[cheeseburger]

Yelawolf will never be big, he will never get recognition.
He released a sick ass mixtape, 2 great collab EPs and people still don't care for him.

He will only reach Tech N9ne's level of fame, he won't go platinum nor get recognition that's for sure.

Other than that, I agree with you....we want raw Shady Records albums, i'm sick of seeing people saying Shady Records suck.

If he wants to be as big as Em, Lil Wayne or Drake he needs to sign to JANG MANEEEEJJ..
But that aint happening, Im pretty sure hes happy about being as big as Tech N9ne. Still a long way to go though.
Looking forward to his progression in Hip Hop!

[Sam.]

I think he means the album should be applauded.

LOL, no

He's saying it's not fair to throw all the blame and responsibility to Em, Slaughterhouse also had a hand in making this album mediocre.

Thanks for understanding what I said. I would like to know what Eminem would have to say about this. He'll prolly avoid it.

@Miller:It's a vintage proverb used here.

[EminemBase]

Why the fuck is WT:OH getting so much hate? It's fucking bombastic.

Because it's one long, sprawling, boring, generic, sloppy compromised turd of an album.

[ImANoob]

WTOH has a lot of highs and a lot more lows. "got this bitch bumpin like a but bite"?...really?

[Sam.]

@Miller: It was, It was made by me when I was little. Now, call me genius.

That's cool but I respectfully disagree.

So Sad.

It's not underrated though, most of it was forgettable.

Yeah tbh it was very OVERrated.

It was going from "this album will change the game, this will be in the top 10 etc." to "I feel hip hop needs this album now, it will influence new upcomers in 5-10 years. We were high during this album, next one will be better cause we´re clean now thanks to marshall.."


I like a couple of songs on there, but I havent listened to it more than maybe 4-5 times for real. Sad really

It's because it was a total sack of shit compromise.

Royce's cheeky fucking ass telling 'fans' to go buy the album "for hip-hop" too , no, you mean for pop chart attempts and your bank account Royce.

How the fuck is supporting compromised, lukewarm half-rap, half-blatant-radio-attempts and trying-to-fit-in-tunes good for hip-hop; that's what's known as bullshit. The kinds of people they wanted to buy in to those records aren't even fans of hip-hop ffs.

If you wanna do something for hip-hop or have any credibility then stop putting out "Lighters" and Alex Da Kid tracks Royce. Probably just as much Em too, he's totally on that Recovery high... sigh. They keep justifying this meeting-half-way bullshit, which actually makes no sense as their only INITIAL fans are fans who love hip-hop and expect something original... and because their rapping and styles are too lowkey for anything bigger or pop'er, fans of 'big' and 'pop' ain't gonna like it, or it won't connect... and all they do is alienate the real fans they did have. Totally pointless.

And you don't 'gain fans' either, as you'd just be gaining fans who aren't really in to what you do or don't know what your art is, it's a really strange thing, to try and appeal to faceless, imagined demographics of popularism on some vague hope they will like you and you can trick them, and then claim to be in any way authentic

They should just realize that if they put their ARTISTIC all in to something, and blow people away - THAT is what will sell records. Most of the biggest hip-hop records in history (sales and/or legacy) are not pop-rap. The Marshall Mathers LP is the biggest solo rap album ever, and it's as hardcore as you can possibly get, and as original and daring and weird as you can get. That says it all.

Lmao.

Nope @ Rap Radar; it didn't drop at the wrong time, it just dropped wrong. It didn't sell because it was a total letdown, and also because Yela had like no promotion or budget, no doubt. But it's certainly not an underrated album; it got the flack, and recognition that it deserves. Some highlights, but overall a massively inconsistent let-down that sags from half-way onwards.

And Yela knows this.

Indeed the album was a letdown. But there are other albums out there that gets more support from its release label.
I mean, I just listened to it today and cant figure out why for example Write Your Name wasnt a single with a nice video to it. Its got a nice catchy beat and young unknown girl on the hook. And Yela Raps about inspirational and relatable stuff. Its great!
And Radio, wow cut one verse down and its perfect for radio lol.

[EminemBase]

^ Oh there were definitely some 'big singles' on that album I think...

"Made in the USA" sounds like it should have been his breakout huge hit.

As much as Yela fucked up, Interscope fucked up too.

[cheeseburger]

Ive never seen why Made In The USA get so much love here. I dont like it at all.
The hook is bombastic though. Maybe as an american you would like it, idk.

But yeah, I feel you like my stepfather felt me.

[Trimss]

Write Your Name and Made In USA could've been big. Maybe even Animal.

This thread is already more successful than Shady 2.0.
