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 finally here motherf**kers (f**kers) Slim Thugger (Slim Thugger)
Long awaited (long awaited), anticipated (anticipated) Already Platinum (Already Platinum)
I'd like to thank everybody who been down with me from day one
From my represent this to the boss, to having thangs, preciate ya, Stay down
(1st Verse)
I'm back for the first time, like Luda
Pull out ya radios and computers, the big boss about to say something to ya
And I ain't speaking to move or groove ya, I'm here to teach-n-tell
And take advantage of this time to introduce myself
I'm Slim Thug, across the states, I know that name rings bell
A young Texas, independent, given these majors hell
Cause I ain't signing for crumbs, and given up my income
To get treated like a bum, niggas must think I'm dumb (huh)
I'm rich and shameless, I ain't gotta be famous
Just pay me cash out the anus, I won't do no complaining
And my budget probably won't cut me million dollar videos but
F**k the props, we got our own drops and jewelry to show
I got plenty of fine ho's and top of the line clothes
With behinds that blow the minds of the niggas behind doors
I still perform at sold out shows, and rock the crowds
And can be heard on radios on every block loud
You can't believe everything you see on T.V, especially the cats you see on BET
That's why this DVD is attached to this CD, everything you see
You gone see, when you see me (yeah)
I'm not a fraud mayne (nope) I swear to GOD mayne (yeah)
I grind hard mayne (yeah), to shine hard mayne (yeah)
You see the broads I bang (you see'em), you see the cars I swang (you see'em)
The stars on chain (you see'em), nigga I'm having thangs
They think I'm slinging cane, when they see me switchin lanes
24's glistening, rocks on top of wrists and rings, everyday
Different piece in chains, that's why “The Bossâ€, my name
This ain't a game, ya'll can't even ball like my dame, mayne
(Talking)
You gotta excuse me for being a little arrogant right now, uknowhatimsayin
I'm a little heated at how these white folks try to treat a nigga
They already know, we got three ways up out the hood
Either you play sports, you rap, or you sell drugs, uknowhatimsayin
A nigga tryin to do it the right way, with this motherf**king mic and thangs
And they wanna offer a nigga, a dollar off each motherf**king CD
And expect a nigga to eat, and take that
While them hoe's try to chump a nigga, $50,000, $100,000 up front
Nigga I'm sitting on that already
(2nd Verse)
Slim ain't waiting six months for a check in the mail
I'ma make my staff check retail, and pick-up my checks myself
I'm a boss, and proud of my position, check out how the young man hand glisten
I'm “Already Platinum†listen
Majors, I gotta be reading these papers wrong, cause what they say ya'll paying
I been sitting on
I bust my ass to spit hits, and you gone tell me I can't get at least half, of my cash (huh)
Don't make me laugh
You won't get my autograph on ya dotted lines (nope)
I master underground grind, I ain't gotta sign to shine
So you can find me in the “Unsigned Hypeâ€, but don't look down on me homey
I got my money right, the rap industry remind me of “pimps and ho'sâ€
And Slim ain't selling hisself, to bring nobody no dough (preach)
We all bosses, so please be cautious, when you approach us promoting losses
Tryin throw us in crosses, come with the Master P love, when you approach Slim Thug
I ain't tryin to be on “106 & Park†and still sell drugs
It's a damn shame how niggas in the game getting f**ked
You went platinum and all you got to show is a Cadillac truck
So major labels get ya weight up, I ain't taking no pay cut
Just to be seen on the screen when I'm a Underground King
And I don't mean to be conceited , I just got shit on my chest
But you can't expect the best, to just settle for less (huh)
(Talking)
Yeah, I feel much better now I got that shit up off my chest
That was fyi..For all ya'll those that don't know Slim Thugger, uknowhatimsayin
And don't understand why I ain't signed or you don't see me on BET
That's what up, uknowhatimsayin, I'm getting this underground down here in Texas
Mayne, I sell 100,000 to get my meal ticket if I got to, you feel me
I refuse to let these motherf**kers rape me (rape me)
I'm getting money, how I doing it right now, baby, I'm good (I'm good)
I know you see me in the streets, I know ya see me, I know ya see me
Slim Thugger, Already Platinum

In the first verse, Slim Thug introduces himself and explains his independent status. In the second verse, he asserts his authority as a boss and praises his accomplishments as an underground artist, while also criticizing major labels for their treatment of artists.
Slim Thug uses his prominence to send a message about the exploitation of independent artists. He expresses his frustration with the way that black artists are often offered poor deals and limited exposure, while major labels profit off of them. The artist highlights his own wealth and success, without a major label deal, to emphasize the point that he does not need them. The lyrics are more powerful with the artist's delivery, as at times he seems to be almost yelling to make sure he is heard.
