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 ↴
It's your girl Alana D.
Chillin' with my boy the boy slim thug
He's from Texas
Now son you've been doin' it real big for awhile
But please, tell us what's the secret to your success?
I'm a bonafide hustla
In order to see the cash
That's in the past
Niggas outta see the stash
Went straight to the bentley
Skilled, the S-class
I was a star before I signed autographs
This the beginning, y'all ain't seen my last
When I call myself a hustla,
I ain't talking about moving rocks
I'm talkin' bout them 9's and them aks and them glocks
When y'all was on the corner
Out there runnin' from them cops
I was out there sellin' all them local crack spots
Boyz in blue and we creep deep
Motherfuckin' police
We make the rules in the streets nigga
I feel you
I feel you
Now we talk about the style of Texas
NOw many seem to think cause you got that Texas style
That's gonna limit your success
Tell us what you think about that
I'm an H-town nigga
So FUCK y'all niggas
Got a fo'-fo' thatta buck y'all niggas
Stay out my way
Cause nigga I'm not for play
Ya niggas say you G's
That must mean you niggas gay
He's from H-town
But he don't stay where I stay
I'm from the land of the killers
He don't lay where I lay
So get it right motherfuckers
Don't try to put me in the same shoes as them suckers
There's a real thick line between rhymers and some hustlas
Them niggas ain't no gangstas,
Them niggas is some bustas
Okay talk to 'em
I see you here with all these diamonds, all these chains
You drivin' around in bentley's
But I don't ever see you with any security,
Please, what's the word on that
Pistol grip pump in my lap at all times
They be checkin' other fools, but they ain't checkin' mine
You run up tryin' you gon' be lyin' down dyin'
When you hear that clock clock sound comin' out of the iron
I ain't no fuckin' punk, I suggest you niggas chill
Cause if I pop this trunk, then somebody gon' get killed
This ain't no rap act, my nigga I'm really real
Go on run your ass up, and watch me stop you with the steel
Niggas must be on peel, cause it's evident they
Think the boss went soft cause I got a record deal
I do this rap shit cause makin' hits pay my bills
And I could give a fuck what you other suckers feel
For real
Aight yo, keep doin' your thing
We lookin' out for you brother
You got anything else in the works
What can we expect from you in the future?
Boys in blue, comin' soon
The lyrics of Slim Thug's song The Interview depict an interview style recording with a female host, Alana D, questioning Slim Thug about his success, style, and lifestyle. Slim Thug answers the questions with the bravado of a seasoned hustler, and his responses are full of references to his criminal past and subsequent rise to fame. In the first verse, he argues that he is a bonafide hustla who used to bust bricks down in half to see the cash. He talks about the lavish lifestyle he now leads with a Bentley and an S-class, and how he was a star before he signed autographs. Slim Thug claims that to him, being a hustler is not just about moving rocks, but also about building and maintaining his reputation on the streets, where he makes the rules.
In the second verse, Slim Thug addresses the perception that his Texas style of rap limits his success. He claims that he is an H-town nigga, and anyone who doubts him can "fuck y'all niggas." He talks about the thick line that separates rhymers and hustlas, arguing that the former are not gangstas but just "bustas." He suggests that he is a real gangsta with a pistol grip pump in his lap at all times and warns his enemies that he is not to be messed with. Slim Thug's lyrics in The Interview are a testament to his belief in himself, his hustling skills, and his readiness to defend his position.
