If you haven't seen it yet, the brand new music video "Forever", featuring Drake, Kanye, Lil Wayne and Eminem, dropped this week. It features each rapper filming their parts separately.

If you paid attention, you may have noticed something a little interesting during Eminem's portion of the video -- and that is that Slaughterhouse (Joell Ortiz, Joe Budden, Crooked I and Royce Da 5'9) are given some serious face time for their cameos.

First off, why are they even given cameos? Second, why are they so dominate throughout Em's clip?

There's an answer for both. NY radio personality, Miss Info, breaks down the reasons, according to her sources.

Here's what she had to say:

If there's anything that we've learned over the years, it's that ... there are no coincidences in hiphop. Many of you sharp-eyed readers were speculating about that not-so-subtle Slaughterhouse cameo in the new "Forever" video. The four lyrical butchers stand behind Eminem during his scene, which was shot in Detroit (as opposed to the rest of the video, which was shot in Miami).

It's a befitting finale for such a heavyweight crew cut. Eminem's verse is fire (my personal favorite of the four) and so is the visual: seeing Em, alongside Joell Ortiz (who was once signed to Em's mentor, Dre), Crooked I (who was once signed to Dre's de-mentor, Suge), Royce da 5′9″ (Em's renewed friend), and Joe Budden (who is just ... Joe Budden, lol).

The combo was premiered on RapRadar, and 2DopeBoyz hinted at future collabs.

So here are the "rumors" that I'm hearing ...

That Slaughterhouse appearance in "Forever," was indeed a non-verbal announcement of the contract negotiations going on behind the scenes. For the past month, both sides have been working towards bringing the group to the Shady label. And that the gathering of Em and the guys at the shoot, is the first of more collaborations to come.

For now, Eminem is working on Relapse II, in Detroit. Joe is working on The Great Escape. Royce is preparing his Oct. release, StreetHop. Crooked I is working on an EP called Mr. Pig Face Weapon Waist (lol!). And Slaughterhouse will be on the road with Tech N9ne for all of Oct and Nov. But fans all want to see Em plus Slaughter on a track (especially Em and Royce). Imagine the killer verse volleys!

What are you thoughts on this possible pair-up? Would Shady Records be a good home for Slaughterhouse?
