"We are one fkd up decision away from being fkd up again." That hit so hard. I never looked at it that way so when I heard Joell say that I was like "yeah" & I had to rewind it again to hear him say it again bc it's so damn true.

It’s because Royce is just not that good, and he knows it. He rode Em’s coattails..and got undeserved hype from that. These dudes say slick lines…metaphors…particularly Crook. Royce knows he cannot compete, truth be told. They did not even give him a verse on “Hammer Dance”..their first single ..as a group. He did the hook. He is mostly hype, so he stays on IG rather than rap, because if he does now…he will prove he is weak, compared to these two. He is not on their level.

It sounds like Crook might not be retiring anytime soon.... we're in for more albums!
‘“That’s a wrap on that” I can’t wait for what’s next, I’m here for it
These 2 are literal walking W's. Video after video, song after song, they're hittin on all cylinders right now and it's amazing!! This payoff has been more than worth the investment as fans!! Excited for the future going forward and all the big things that are coming.
Man. I been on slaughterhouse before I graduated high school. And I’m 27 now. I needed that and I understand all the issues outside of the music. From Tennessee what up
It is a fantastic album, and while I miss Slaughterhouse after so many years I let it go. Hearing you two putting out this album was fantastic, who cares it isn't all four of you? You two still rocking and rocking it hard. Not only that the album itself is pure fire. It is a love letter to how rap should be, how an album should be made. It is a beautiful ending, though still hope there is more to come from you two. Only 4 mins into this video but wanted to get this out there. Thank you for the amazing tracks.

If you consider this not to be fantastic then your taste in what is and isn't rap isn't close to mine so why bother? Probably listen to some 69, or mumble or auto tunes so strong you can't even understand the lyrics. Tbf that is mumble itself but you get the idea.

"Rise and Fall of Slaughterhouse" is easily a 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤 album! Both brothers have classic quotable verses on there. Both display their lyrical talent and dexterity. And NO OTHER rappers were needed OR missed the entire time. Then they dropped a deluxe with 2 more liquid swords 🤯! We gotta appreciate this ya'll. Real hip-hop heads needed this and I'm here for it all!

27:31 That is 100% real. I felt Joell's super power strongly in the "Uncle Chris Car" song off the Autograph album. Joell told that story so vividly, it felt like I was there with him through all those moments of his childhood. I saw everything clearly. He's done that many times before though. Thank you, Joell and Crook, for these experiences. It's a great gift that you have to be able to do that so well.

Much respect for y'all from Portland, OR! Thank you for the closure! Edit: I love that Crook gave props to Joell about the "Look Mama" verse.... That verse makes me and my girl tear up every damn time. Fuck yeah.
Not gonna lie, Crook & Joell at first I was against all that was going on. I honestly just didn’t want it to be true. Slaughterhouse together AND individually got me through tough times in my life. This Rise & Fall album really grew on me & came right as I left the army. So as you guys closed that chapter, I closed a chapter of my life too. It’s been this way ever since I discovered you all. I’m excited to hear what comes next for you two. & also whether new music comes or not for slaughterhouse, I’m happy Joe & you 2 got to talk at the hotel. Brothers disagree. Your relationships are more important than any music to me. Stay blessed
This album is album of the year already. Two goats for real, thanks for the blessing. Everyone needed this, best outcome from the situation.
I'm just gonna go ahead and say it, 38 min was not enough for me. I enjoyed this way too fxvken much, this is just beautiful 🙂. That project was incredible and I can't wait to hear more from you KINGS👑. Love and ✌️🇿🇦
Can't wait for the new album! 🔥🔥🔥
Seems like yous have reinvigorated something in each other with the music. Its great to watch and the fact yous are so active as a duo and seem to be enjoying creating together has reinvigorated something in me as a fan. I haven't felt this exited about up coming music in a long time! 💯
I Love To See The Excitement And Hunger These 2 Lyrical Giants Still Have After All They Been Through.
⚠️ This was well needed and anticipated. Honestly though? My attention span is impeccable, and I needed like 2 hours of this. 38 minutes won't cut it in my world 🤣, but again, your boy is still thankful 🔥🔥
I missed my chance to show up live but foreal I gotta say, Thank ya'll....Slaughterhouse music saved my life a few times. It's a shame what happened, but life is life, and although I was up on Crook, Royce and Joe, I discovered Joelle; and that Battle Cry joint is crazy lol
Loved the album!!! Crook and Joell deserve more praise in the hiphop game.
No cap, y’all album was incredible. Those deluxe tracks Dream and Corned flakes was HEAVY bars, maybe y’all could do an album of that????

The two illest brothas of the group made one of the greatest albums of all time. I'm not even mad about it. You told it how it is. I've been following your careers for over a decade and this was your best work up until this point. Keep doing your thing. For anyone looking to debate me, say what you want. It's all good. Peace to everyone here. God bless y'all. 🙏🏾💪🏾✌🏾
This was so genuine and heartfelt. And this is why I never mind aging. The wisdom that comes from experience in living cannot be taught, it must be lived. I look forward to the next chapter for sure. 💯💯
No cap I only streamed the album a bunch and have a few songs slapped into my daily playlists. It's not like I'm the biggest supporter of all time lol. But I still wanna say thank you man this shit was so dope, what a throw back man.. Would really love a consistent dose of Crook/Joell releases or even verses over today most popular beats. To show your respect but to also showcase your superior lyricism. Respect y'all
I know this interview could've been longer and wish it was. Great stuff as always!
Yes please we need another one ..beautiful masterpiece.. you are beautiful souls ..two legends being humble an caring .its an honour to be here to witness such greatness ...truly mean that thanku so much love and God bless always x
Man i been waiting for the next Crooks Corner. Thanks bro. We appreciate this.
I love y’all for real. Appreciate all you do for the culture and how you show love to us, the fans and the MUSIC is always fire! Much love and respect!
The album is so dope! Thank you both for everything!! You both are amazing!💜💜💜🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for this great interview, from two of my favorite MCs 🐐 🐐. Can’t wait to see what y’all both got coming in the future 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The time travel thing was an amazing conversation, Joell made some of his best music from it. The song "125 Part 4 (Finale)" is one of the best songs I ever heard from Ortiz.
Two level headed legends who didn’t forget where they came from , didn’t let their egos take hold of their entire existence, learn from them.
The album was so dope, I can't thank yall enough!
The album was dope can’t wait for the next one and thx for the interview 🙏🏼
“ It’s our duty to give back to the culture” ✊🏾……..dope Convo & insights.
We all gutted the way it ended but we still supporting you guys till the end, I'd rather listen to just 2of you than none of y'all. Keep it coming the new record is dope AF...... Peace ✌️
Every album you two make together Imma cop. Y’all got a fan here since day 1 of what was the 4 headed monster. Thank you 2 for the rise and fall and how y’all ALWAYS kept it 100. Much love and always looking forward for the next project from both of y’all.
Yall are dope! Dope dope video. We got yall🔥🔥🔥 Can't wait for yall next album
So appreciative of you 2. Keep doin yall thang. When Gangsta Rap and the Mecca of Hip Hop collide 💥. Peace and blessings 🙌🏽.
Album is A Deep Relief for all of us fans dreaming yall get all back together and spark that magic again, thank you for turning the page now, Slaughterhouse chapter is over, great things ahead and you both feed of from each other, slaughtering these dope ass beats, yalll keep ridin that vibe, yall doing the right thing, stay blessed legends
Two of the world's best spitters, chopping it up. Keep it coming bro!!!!!
Thanks for Dropping this!
“i can’t believe it never happened because we all rap about what’s going on in our lives” that was so meaningful.
Damn, this convo hit home on so many levels 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Great job, fellas
Amazing content fellas!! Much love ❤️
Album was fire. And glad to see you brothers working!
Dope episode. Loving the music and convos from you guys, keep that shit coming

I think it would be cool if Crooked and Joel ran with the Time Traveler analogy and did a whole album start to finish telling us (the fans) stories from their lives. Or they could rap about important events their perspectives and where and what they were doing when said events happened. "Joel & Crooked's Excellent Adventure!"
Love the vibes...I know this next one gon be crazy also 🔥🔥🔥
Hey Crook and Joell, I just want to say that I absolutely Love the new album and I hope that most appreciate it as much as I do. I've listened to the whole album all the way through at least twice a week. Best to you guys
I want from you both to talk about 10 situations in life from 2 different coasts. Like family life back then to get money, what was your first song to make you rap, what you did to get your 1 deal, how your 1 song was and getting in the studio, how the coast embraced you to in the urban and spanish environment..... so many to name on topics and situations. Love the music I was always following all 4 but keep it going for us fans. You all made songs together that mad us fans get to the next day to today.
You can tell who is genuine in the former "group" based on the energy in the conversations. These two seem like they are on some high vibration and positivity, while the other 2 was just melodrama, talking trash, name calling, etc. Crazy.
Amazing MCs and Artists hands down. Just pure Hip Hop for the fans.

Thank the algorithm for feeding me this cause all I've been seeing are vids that are against Rise and Fall so to finally hear what you guys are feeling is great. Loved the album, my boy put me on it cause I didn't even know it dropped or there was even a conflict there. Still gotta listen to H.A.R.D. at some point and I will! Oh, and can y'all get Horseshoe on something?
Thank you for giving me closure in such a amazing way.
