Eminem Covers XXL; Signs Slaughterhouse & Yelawolf

Wednesday, January 12 2011 1:46 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Newsstand Stan

After months of speculation, Shady Records have finally signed Slaughterhouse and Yelawolf. The union is immortalized on the cover of the March issue of XXL, which goes on sale February 8th. Below, Eminem discusses the new signees.

“Yelawolf and Slaughterhouse, it’s kinda phase two of Shady,” says Eminem. “It’s the new generation of Shady Records and as we’re trying to rebuild our label, it’s exciting for hip-hop and with all of these forces coming together and with what everybody’s capable of on the mic, it’s gonna be fun.”

As far as Yelwolf is concerned:

“Considering where I’m from and the shit I’ve been through, it’s hardto put into words what partnering with Shady means to me, my team at Ghet-O-Vision, and my state of Alabama. I can tell you that when you’re willing to give yourlife up to see a dream through, the reward is great. And now that I’ve become anapprentice to one of the greatest artists in the world, my potential reaches beyond anything I ever imagined. Let’s kill this shit.”

    That’s a spectacular look for all involved. Yela’s definitely talented and has his own style.

    And Slaughterhouse is just the illest lyricists in a group together since Wu Tang. With Dre and Em behind them, this is great. Don’t know why people are hating. It’s a great look for real hiphop.

    That’s what’s up……take a long look at Hip-Hop: IT’S ALIVE!!!!!

    Pay attention y’all, Hip-Hop is making that full circle.

    Finally, Slaughterhouse/Shady connection. Greatness.

    Best Hip-Hop news I received a in a long time.

    Shyt shout out to Yelawolf fans, that’s one for y’all too.

    1 for Hip-Hop, 0 for B/S rap.
