alright Stevie let me give you the timeline because it's all over the place: I'll do my best
-2009 - Joe reaches out to Joel, Crook, Royce and Nino bless for a feature, song called Slaughterhouse. Internet fucks with it heavy, so the group is formed, minus Nino (check out the song it's dope). Joe squashed his beef with Royce in the making of this song.
- Slaughterhouse drop an album (and a mixtape) on an independent label - it's a fucking cult classic. Bars for days. You would love this album
- Em sees what Slaugtherhouse is doing, during the time he reconciles with Royce, he signs Slaughterhouse. Circa 2011
- Slaughterhouse drops their 2nd official album 'Welcome to My House" on Shady, and it was poppy trash for the most part. Em and his label messed with the album heavy, they had the best intentions, but they were essentially trying to turn Slaughterhouse into Eminem lite and follow the 'Recovery' Template. It failed - the core fans hated the album and no new fans were gained. The only good thing is we got a mixtape before the album that was basically true to Slaughterhouse' style - Check out the cut Gone for more detail on Joe's unhappiness with Shady's meddling
- 2015ish - Eventually Slaughtherhouse falls apart during the making of their 3rd album "Glass House" - Joe essentially refused to make another album on Shady after the previous debacle. During this time he starting his transition to podcasting. This song came out around this time.
In 2018, Slaughterhouse is dead and Joe is on Everyday Struggle. He torches Em's song "untouchable" as one of the worst songs he's ever heard (sonically). He even questions em's intentions for making a song about black plight(fucked up right?)
Em then comes out with Kamikaze and fires a few shots at Joe on "Fall".
Joe says he is retired so won't respond to Em in music(unless Em put out a whole song), so we got a 2hr Podcast of Joe basically outlining how Em fucked over Slaughterhouse in the making of their second album. He raised a lot of really interesting points, but I personally felt he was a bit too angry and emotional to think clearly. In any case, this is when we found out that THIS song was originally meant to be a diss towards Eminem, that's how he started out writing it. Presumably Royce and Joe's team stopped him from doing that, because at the time Eminem was his boss. Joe made it clear that Em and him never had a friendship or relationship outside of music, but he still respected him enough not to diss him at the time, so instead we got this song, which is basically him airing out his grievances while giving props.
Fast forward to Music to be murdered by, and Em keeps up the subtle jabs, but by this point Joe has calmed down and so eats the shots and praises Em's album. Beef is dead, and there are rumous that they are trying to work behind the scenes to get some of that unreleased Slaughterhouse stuff released.
..I think that's everything haha
