Yeah it’s that time again.

Too often do we sift through the predictable media cycle of artists yelling how “crazy” their album is or even fixing their lying ass mouths to utter the other “C” word — classic. How about these C’s: cut the crap. Each year, the allure of the album continues to decrease thanks in part to overhyped, superfluous projects that only possess a handful of good songs. Not to mention the legion of stans that will stick by anything short of a satanic message their favorite artist puts out. Not I. Air ‘em out like spring laundry. Read the rest of this entry »

What seems like an eternity ago was actually only 6 months when Slim Thug released his lackluster second album, Boss Of All Bosses.
And although there’s a some a few well-placed rats and a funny intro, this is still the wrong single. Read the rest of this entry »

After the underwhelming success received for his freshman album Already Platinum, Houston native Slim Thug decided to do his best to distance himself from the machine that pushed him away from his roots that was Interscope records. Since his 2005 debut, he has released two group albums along with his partners in rhyme, the Boss Hogg Outlawz, but otherwise we haven’t heard much from the low-toned Texan.

With his official return Boss Of All Bosses, the self-proclaimed “boss of the north” doesn’t take much of a step forward with his content or production, but what he does do is continue the legacy of the Houston Hip-Hop scene with a slightly different approach sonically than most of his peers. Songs like “Top Drop” which features the third coast’s favorite White boy Paul Wall and the UGK assisted “Leaning” fall in line with what fans are used to from the state of Texas.

Here’s a couple new album joints from an artist we recently smoked with, Slim Thugga.

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.
