Disco de Slim Thug: “Already Platinum [PA] [Limited]”

I copped this disc mainly due to the Neptune affiliation. Truth be told, Slim Thug is a slightly-above average MC at best. I know a lot of his fans don't want to hear it, but he is thriving on a built-up image as opposed to actual musical superiority. There is nothing remarkable about this album except the number of tracks provided to those who purchase the double CD version. While I respect the current rap movement that is taking place in Houston, Slim Thug is not an upper-tier MC. In my East Coast opinion there are only two strong tracks on this disc - "I Ain't Heard of That" and "Playa' You Don't Know." In all fairness "Boyz N Blue" and "Miss Mary" are also notable. Slim may be the latest version of H-Town cool, but Scarface's throne remains safe at least for now.

I feel so badly for DJ Screw, up in heaven, sippin' codeine, and watching his former protege Slim Thug make a fool out of himself, almost in similar fashion to Lil' Flip. This album is back to back garbage, and the only reason anyone bought it was because it was produced by the highly(and I mean HIGHLY) overrated Neptunes, who have no idea how to make a beat that doesn't sound like bubble-gum rap. Oh, who am I kidding? They invented bubble-gum rap.

Instead of picking up this album, try and find some of DJ Screw's tapes and/or posthumous compilations. Any one of his 100+ tapes is better than this album, and if you're 'lucky,' you may even hear Slim Thug on one of the songs. If you don't want to hunt around for mixtapes or underground records, and want a taste of Southern hip-hop, you can't go wrong with Chamillionaire's Sound of Revenge.

Support real hip-hop, and leave this garbage on the shelves.

the neptunes have done it again. slim thug was know only 2 the underground until he appeared on mike jone's STILL TIPPIN. he then released one of the most surprisingly good albums of the year. the production is great. the beat r exceptional. his lyrics r one of the best out right now. the best songs r

three kings

i aint heard of that

THE BIG BOSS OF THE SOUTH. didnt like it when i heard he was getting neptunes and jazze pha on the album, i was hoping he'd keep it truer to texas like paul and mike. but the album still goes hard despite being a little more pop than his fans are used to.

Man I just want 2 tip my hat for the neptunes because they constantly prove 2 the world that they r genius. Some one said a quote in a source mag one time that was so true 2 me;"The Neptunes r like spandex, they can make any a@# look good" Now if u think about that the right way, u will agree that the neptunes have worked with so many different people and made their music sound phenomonal. As far as slim thug goes, he's cool. He's not the best rapper I've heard but I didn't expect him 2 be. He still delivers and he has a rap style that is common nowadays(talkin' about material stuff) but it's just somethin' about the way he delivers it that makes him different. I guess it's the fact that he brought the neptunes 2 the hood and I tellin ya'll it works out great. I put it like this, if u want lyrical supremacy, u won't find it but if u want some bump, this should definitly be in ur crosshairs. 4 those of u that need somethin' 2 fill in that clipse void like me, go pick it up 4sho.
