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.

All the girls wanna take a picture with me (with me) so baby just smile for the camera, (hey)
For the camera (hey) for the camera (hey) so baby just smile for the camera (hey)
For the camera (hey) for the camera (hey)
I got super size sway, I'm honest with the class
Fresh up out the bag, somebody pull out my tab,
I guess this why these haters always looking so mad,
Her heart beating fast while we froze for the pose,
Before rap I was most chose by the hoes,
Before you go she slip me something else on the low,
A rigged out list to see me with no clothes,
I'm so fly, all the haters and the killers try'n get me (get me) when I walk by,
All the girls wanna take a picture with me (with me) so baby just smile for the camera, (hey)
For the camera (hey) for the camera (hey) so baby just smile for the camera (hey)
For the camera (hey) for the camera (hey)
Beautiful by the bar you wanna be a star,
Look like the boss in a big house and fancy car,
How bout we make everything that's mine, ours,
For example let me let you hold the black cards,
And don't worry bout yo man, he just act hard,
Before we get to you we gotta go through that squad,
You like swimming, I got a lake in my backyard
I'll take you on a date till the B team sore
I'm so fly, all the haters and the killers trying get me (get me) when I walk by,
All the girls wanna take a picture with me (with me) so baby just smile for the camera, (hey)
For the camera (hey) for the camera (hey) so baby just smile for the camera (hey)

Keep that ice on that chest, and we dress so fly,
And we stay smoking on the best so you know a player so high
