Annotation
According to P&B Fortezza Sound Ventures, the song was inspired by songwriter and producer Kareem Jacobs' reaction to a local television news broadcast while working in a recording studio on music for an independent film.
The label stated that Jacobs observed a series of crime and tragedy-focused news reports and remarked that the broadcast resembled "slaughter television" rather than traditional news programming. This observation reportedly became the basis for the song's title and lyrical themes.
The lyrics of "Slaughter TV" incorporate and reinterpret language commonly associated with television news reporting, particularly coverage of violent or distressing events. The song has been described as a critique of sensationalist media coverage and its perceived effects on public fear and anxiety.
According to accounts provided by the label, Jacobs temporarily halted work on the film soundtrack to develop the song, which he allegedly wrote, recorded, and produced within approximately three hours.
