What do you guys think about Yelawolf's album from Shady Records (Radioactive), and Slaughterhouse's "Welcome to Our House"? I think the production/beats, and overall albums are complete crap for these particular artists.
Is Shady messing up these artists? Eminem should know better... Slim Shady LP, Marshall Mathers LP, and The Eminem Show are what made Eminem the legend that he is. Not Relapse, not Recovery (though Recovery made him more popular to mainstream noobs).
Yelawolf's Trunk Muzik 0-60, and most of his other projects are spectacular. Slaughterhouse can spit, as I saw from the Shady 2.0 cypher. The whole Shady 2.0 cypher was amazing, so why are these albums so bad? These guys have so much potential, Yelawolf especially.
Yelawolf should have stayed independent/signed to Strange IMO What do you guys think?

I don't think signing with Shady "ruined" Yelawolf, per say, but it did put pressure on him to make more mainstream friendly tracks. Less "Pop the Trunk" and "I Wish" types of tracks and more "Let's Roll" and "Hard White" type tracks. I don't think Radioactive was a bad album, in terms of rap albums in general, but I think Yelawolf could do much better. Like I said, it's mainstream pressure.
I think that, if he signed with Strange, the pressure would be the exact opposite and to keep making "Pop the Trunk" type tracks, since that's like Strange's persona. BUT, he is making way much more money at Shady then he would at Strange. Plus, he hasn't completely sold out, he still has his core base of fans.
Slaughterhouse on the other hand, I haven't heard that album and haven't heard a lot from them other than the Shady 2.0 cypher. But there is a difference between rappers that can spit good freeverses/freestyles and rappers that can make good entire albums. Good albums are usually more diverse than just cypher spitting.

Nah, Yelawolf hasn't sold out. He still makes awesome tracks (Ed Sheeran EP, Travis Barker EP, etc.), but Radioactive could have been something real special. It's not a bad album, but Yela can do so much more. Gone, Candy and Dreams, Daddy's Lambo, etc... those songs could do amazing in the mainstream IMO. He needs to keep making tracks like those.
