brehs....where did Slim Thug go wrong?

[2manyFCKNrappers]

it seems as though he had all the right ingredients to be a southern rap superstar. he didn't make it tho? why?

 

[Batsute]

He got bodied on his own single by TI and Bun B.

Seriously though he should have never signed with Star Trek. If anybody was to sign to Star Trek from houston it should have been Flip.

named his album already platinum, as if he didn't care two shyts if he sold.

 

[FeloniousMonk]

Signing to Star Trak, not getting push by the label..etc.

Production carried hom too much. Truth is he went the same way as paul wall and chamilionaire. None of them held mainstream attention for long.

 

[Money Be Green]

He fell off after he cut his cornrows

probably this...plus the New Houston Movement died and quickly as it was given life... basically they let gay ass Atlanta shut them down. They should have supported Flip when TI was coming for his head. Made them all look weak.

Slim Thug did everything right...he knew what type of rapper he was from the jump.

Unlike Chamillionaire, who fukked his career up with "Riding Dirty".... Thug went the indy route, and made more money on the back end...all his shyt outside of that Already Platinum album, are indy releases.

as a general rule...Texas rappers are more concerned about money, than fame.


He's really winning for an indy rapper, he's not Tech N9ne... but he aint doing bad.

double

went wrong by not knocking up Latoya Luckett

if you ever have followed his twitter you would see he is actually a dumbass and kind of corny

like a previous poster said he lost it when he cut his cornrows plus he lost weight and just got old.

he looks like a balding lurchy old guy. if you check his twitter he has multiple baby mamas and just fronts like he is still balling from rapping. he is a grown man still stuck in a 21 year mind frame which is only cool with certain things

1. Slim Thug never had a bonafide, nationwide hit. Closest he got was being on that Beyonce joint.

2. He was never really "slim", so that damaged his credibility.

Right, and had a baby by his own cousin instead :thisnikka: :thisnikka:

lowkey this is one of the funniest posts i ever read

 

[HipHopFeeling]

didn't he do real estate and shyt at one point?

I'm pretty sure Slim is richer than most rappers that are/were more popular...he's doing just fine
