In a recent interview with VIBE, Harlem’s Charles Hamilton spoke on what his role became of in the formation of powerhouse group Slaughterhouse, which consists of Crooked I, Joe Budden, Joell Ortiz and Royce da 5’9″. Charles Hamilton claims that he was suppose to be the fifth member, though his membership ‘never came into fruition’, his name badge didn’t seem right I guess to them, who knows. Despite this, Charles still maintains the love.

Quoted to say: “Joell, Royce, Crooked, Joe, yall did me dirty!” he said. “I was supposed to be the fifth member of Slaughterhouse and they know it. Me, Royce and three other people drove out to Jersey, kicking the breeze. I was like ‘let’s start a group.’ He was like, ‘Charles, you’re on a major label.’ He calls up Joe and I already had Crooked’s number, so we do the illest conference call. Joe Budden says to me very sternly, ‘Charles, we are not your age. We cannot afford a failure. And we don’t want to be a failure and bring you down from your situation.’ I said, ‘Y’all are representing hip-hop. Only way y’all fail, is if y’all don’t spit.’ Royce was with it, but I know the love is still there. If they’re still on board, I’m with it.”

All in all – would Charles Hamilton have been a good addition to Slaughterhouse? Or just simply slaughtered out?
