In a newly released interview with The Bee Shine, Brooklyn lyricist Joell Ortiz discussed the likelihood of jumping into the ring for the second edition of Total Slaughter. There has been much speculation about Ortiz battling following fellow Slaughterhouse member Joe Budden’s match-up with Hollow Da Don at “Total Slaughter” on July 12.
“They want me to get in the ring for Total Slaughter 2,” Ortiz says. “They want me to battle. They feel like I would be good in that ring. I feel like I would too, I’ve been thinking about it.”
This isn’t the first time Joell Ortiz has commented on the possibility of a battle. In an interview with ThisIs50 Radio last month, the "House Slippers" artist said, “They want me in the ring bad."
“Yo, they won’t stop! Everybody said they got something for me,” he says. “They want me in that ring bad. All of them want me in that ring bad. I don’t think they really want that kind of a problem though. I’ma tell you why. My whole career has been a battle. You know how hard it was for me to just get accepted by the hip-hop community in general? For the first three years of my career it was: ‘He nice for a Puerto Rican.’ You know what I had to do to just be accepted by the masses? All those freestyle y’all love was subliminals at everybody. It was just like, ‘I hate everybody, man.’”
