Ahh…I remember that shot like it was yesterday. Holler @ Gunaxtin for more clips from their list of the Top Ten March Madness Buzzer Beaters. Thankfully, the…the…*deep breath*…”the shot” didn’t make an appearance.
With the unstoppable flood of emails & mp3′s, tracks can get lost in the shuffle & I’ll forget to big up a track that I’m liking. This Billy & Busta collabo is a few months old @ this point, but still gettin rotation. For some odd reason, it popped up in the inbox & made the e-rounds on other sites, reminding me that it was worth making mention of.

As a staple in Houston’s forever flourishing, refreshingly independent Hip-Hop scene, Slim Thug has enjoyed worldwide success while remaining true to his deeply rooted Houston heritage. With his sophomore record on the horizon and a brand record label gracing his CD’s, Slim Thug took his show and his new artists on the road for a nationwide press tour, eventually landing in the backyard and woods of Kentucky. After nearly an hour long detour and many missed turns and phone calls later, TSS Crew’s Landon A. sat down with the Boss of all bosses to discuss everything from Houston to codeine cultures, his newly signed artists and his forthcoming album, all over a few drinks and a fish sandwich.
TSS: Slim Thugga! What’s good? It’s been a while since you’ve been in the spotlight, it was about 2005 when you dropped Already Platinum, what have you been up to?
Slim Thug: Aw man, trying to put my team on man put my other artists on my Boss Hogg Outlaw label out. You know, build up the brand and all that. And at the same time go from one label to another; go from a major back to an independent. That’s what’s been taking up my time.
TSS: How’s the game changed since then?
Slim Thug: Man it’s changed a lot; you know a lot of people don’t hardly sell no records hardly no more you know what I’m saying? That’s definitely changed, which influenced me from leaving a major label. People always tell me “you crazy, you over there at Interscope, there’s no way I would have left” but if I’m at Interscope and I ain’t making no money then what am I over there for? They’re a big record label and can do a lot but if they ain’t doing it then I’d rather be at a smaller company where I get more attention and can make more money off of each CD.
TSS: Is it more important to you to focus on the target audience the label’s trying to push your record to or the people who’ve been riding with you since your Swishahouse days?
Slim Thug: Man that’s a good one, but honestly I don’t try to really cater to nobody. I kind of just do what I want to do man and that’s just me. If a person tells me they want me to rap a certain kind of way, naaah. I mean I’ll definitely listen and try to give them what they want, but at the same time I want to satisfy them and myself and show that I can do a little more than just that type of music. So I definitely don’t go in there with a mind frame of let me do it like this, I just go in there and do what I do and hopefully you’ll like it. That’s how I do it every time.

Lil’ Scrappy’s return hasn’t exactly stoked the masses into a rabid frenzy the way he would have hoped. Perhaps that’s because Silency & Secrecy: Black Rag Gang isn’t a full Scrappy project, but rather a chance for him to give shine to his G’$ Up clique. Or perhaps it’s because Mr. Scrap himself hasn’t exactly built a catalog worthy of renown and attention.
Silency & Secrecy barely beats its low expectations by delivering occasional choice cuts of southern-fried Hip-Hop. To put it frankly, the album’s not breaking any boundaries or offering anything progressive alongside the fact there’s little difference between the strong and weak selections. Standout tracks are driven by particularly well crafted beats of moments of charismatic rapping that give a little boost of humor or pizzazz. Read the rest of this entry »

Fresh off the presses comes “50 Minutes of Fresh”, a sampling of some of my favorite Mannie Fresh productions, features, and solo joints. It isn’t trying to be a greatest hits. It’s literally 50 minutes of Mannie Fresh. Enjoy, share, and let me know if you’re feeling it!
With Eleven (and The Rub trio in general), it’s never a question whether I’m going to cosign or download for myself. By featuring Mannie, Eleven forced my hand on clearing some hard drive & iPod space. Tracklisting & link after the break. Read the rest of this entry »
