Lupe Fiasco got his answer about wanting to take Joe Budden's place in Slaughterhouse.
The Chicago M.C. made the request in January, a little after Kxng Crooked, Royce Da 5'9" and Joell Ortiz appeared on the song "I Will," off Eminem's Music To Be Murdered By album.
"It would never happen," Royce told HipHopDX. "Nobody can replace Joe. Nobody can replace anybody from Slaughterhouse. He's (Lupe) no group replacement guy. Like, he's great. He's not just and MC he's a master. It's takes on a completely different form."
Lupe caught wind of Royce's interview and responded on Twitter with a series of tweets.

Do you think Lupe would have worked in Slaughterhouse?
