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.

Slim Thug Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, hell yeah, wanna fuck with the Boss huh
Show you bitch made ass niggaz
Slim Thugger, Boss Hogg Outlawz
(Slim Thug)
Mr. Buster, where the fuck you at
Can't box or lick, so you better get your gat
The click you threw up with, label you blew you with
That's why we don't respect your ass
Now it's time for the Boss, to check your ass fool
Use to be homie, use to be my ace
Now I wanna slap the taste, out your mouth
Make you bow down, Lil' Yo
Hating on me, now I'm hating on you lil' hoe
Oh don't think I forgot, let J-Dog slide
Let Capo ride, just another homicide
Calling me, begging for cash
Dopefiend ass nigga, I get dead in your ass
You should of stayed down, and got paid for verses
But now he ol' broke, bank snatching purses
Stealing cell phone, plumbing for money
You ain't no real G, you's a crash dummy
Talking that killa shit, bitch do what you do
You fucked with me, now it's a must that I fuck with you
The lyrics to Slim Thug's song Dre are aggressive and confrontational. The song seems to be directed at someone who Slim Thug refers to as "Mr. Buster," who he believes is a disloyal and weak individual. Slim Thug accuses "Mr. Buster" of being unable to fight and of resorting to using a gun to settle disputes. The lyrics suggest that "Mr. Buster" used to be a friend of Slim Thug's, but has now become a hater, jealous of Slim Thug's success and status as a Boss.
Slim Thug goes on to describe "Mr. Buster" as a dope-fiend and a thief, someone who is willing to rob and steal in order to get by. The lyrics are filled with profanity and threats, with Slim Thug warning "Mr. Buster" that he will exact revenge for his disloyalty.
Overall, the lyrics to Dre are a classic example of the confrontational and aggressive style of hip-hop that emerged in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Slim Thug's lyrics are full of bravado and posturing, as he seeks to establish his reputation as a "Boss" in the rap game. The message of the song is clear: if you mess with Slim Thug, he will mess with you back.
