Slim Thug's debut album, Already Platinum, was released on July 12, 2005. It features the singles "Like a Boss", "Three Kings", "I Ain't Heard Of That", and "Incredible Feeling". The album debuted at #2 on the U.S. Billboard 200 Albums Chart. His second album, Boss of All Bosses, was released in 2009.
Slim Thug has had some success with his mixtape releases. He has proclaimed himself the "Big Boss of the South", referring to the U.S. south, and the "Big Boss of the North", referring to North Houston, Texas, the neighborhood where he grew up.
As of July 22, 2005, he is dating Letoya Luckett, former member of Destiny's Child.
In 2005, he also appeared in a remix of the song "Luxurious" by Gwen Stefani, and Check On It by Beyoncé.
Slim says that his rap name comes from the fact that as a teenager, he was very tall and lanky before he filled out. He stands 6'6" tall. The Thug part comes from people's assumptions of him due to his braids and sunglasses.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you see a pimp shining bitch tell me how you feel (I got the)
Diamonds pressing up against the woodgrain wheel (Yeah)
When you see a pimp shining bitch tell me how you feel (I got the)
Diamonds pressing up against the woodgrain wheel
When you see a pimp shining bitch tell me how you feel (That's right)
Diamonds pressing up against the woodgrain wheel
When you see a pimp shining bitch tell me how you feel
Now who other than Slim Thugga, still tippin on fo's
Wrapped up in gator boe's closing them candy doe's
Drank poe'd music slow how I roll when I'm flossin'
Trunk cracked in the back I'm in my lack big bossin'
I got the diamonds pressin' up against the woodgrain wheel
When you see a playa' shining bitch tell me how you feel
I'm tryin to chill cause pussy niggaz ain't real
Gon' make me drop 'em with the hands or pop 'em with the steel
I'm the dirty south boss them other suckas is clones
Misrepresenting Texas with them weak ass songs
Screens showin' trunk glowin' while I flip through the hood
Big diamonds, shining, blinding, while I'm grippin my wood
I got the..
I got the diamonds pressin' up against the woodgrain wheel
Butter top dropping on the candy Coupe Deville
Cup full of drank man we poppin' pint seals
The candy trunk bangin while I drop the fifth wheel
Riding so low I got my hand up on the steel
Them jackers tryin'a plot I bet the glock'll make 'em chill
I'm straight up outta Texas yeah the land of the trill
When you see a pimp shining bitch tell me how you feel
Had to bring back the foe's made them put away the choppers
Got the candy blue shining while I'm swangin on the boppers
Keep straight through stop signs fuck if the law stop us
Screamin' free Pimp see to the motherfucking coppers
I got the..
Diamonds
The song "Diamonds" by Slim Thug is an ode to his lifestyle as a successful rapper and pimp. The lyrics depict his love for diamonds, luxury cars, and hedonistic pleasures. The opening lines, "Diamonds pressing up against the woodgrain wheel, when you see a pimp shining bitch tell me how you feel" emphasize the importance of wealth and material possessions in his life.
Slim Thug goes on to describe his luxurious lifestyle, with lines like "Wrapped up in gator boe's closing them candy doors" and "Big diamonds, shining, blinding, while I'm grippin' my wood". These lyrics, along with references to drinking and popping seals, portray a life of excess, with no regard for consequences.
However, while the lyrics may seem shallow on the surface, they also serve as a commentary on the societal values of American culture. Slim Thug's success is based solely on his material possessions, which society deems as markers of success. The song highlights the shallowness of these values and the way in which they can contribute to a life devoid of true meaning.
Overall, "Diamonds" is a song that glorifies excess while also shedding light on the destructive qualities of a culture that places such a high value on material possessions.
