Article Slim Thug Gives Top 5 Dead Or Alive

D. ESCO · 12-13-2008, 12:02 AM

Welcome back to TOP 5 DEAD OR ALIVE. Yeah you got to love it. Apparently other sites do too; from now on we are charging a rental fee. Nevertheless we step to heavy hitters in all walks of life and get their list of top MC’s going so you don’t have to you.

After a month of Curren$y, N.O.R.E., Max B. and Corey Gunz, everyone’s been asking for some more Southern representation and honestly we couldn’t blame ya’ll. So with that said we put Slim Thug to the test. The Boss Hogg Outlaw is one of Houston’s best; chopped or screwed. In no order, here he goes.

2pac

Slim Thug: Man I’ve been listening to him since I’ve been real young. But it’s the reality in his rapping. The feeling he put in his music made it timeless. He put a lot of thought into it rather than just getting the club crunk or whatever.

He had songs that came from his heart. Me Against The World was the album that really got me from him. When that “Dear Momma” came out that’s when I really got hooked. I been listening to him before that “Brenda’s Got A Baby” and “Keep Your Head Up”, but with Me Against The World, I couldn’t stop listening to him.

Jay-Z

Slim Thug: Yeah Jay-Z, I’m not going to lie and say I been on him since Reasonable Doubt. Yeah the song that really made get into his music was “A Week Ago”. Yeah that song I remember listening to that sh*t over and over again man. Then after that I did the research and went back to the older records.

The Blueprint is just one of my all time favorite albums. I still think he the best rapper alive right now, that’s just my personal opinion. I like everything he do. He came in the game doing his own videos, he did the clothing line, he married Beyonce, he was the president of Def Jam [Records]; it’s like damn how lucky can you get?

UGK

Slim Thug: They inspired me more than anything since they from where I’m from; Texas. They didn’t come out sounding like anyone else. They came out the gate sounding like they were Texas; you know talking country. You know how we talk.

They represented what we were really representing out there. Bun is so lyrical and Pimp had that swag that was so crazy. He was the making the beats and everything and coming up with a lot of the concepts to the songs. Pimp was really the first dude talking about dope and all that there. You got “Pocket Full Of Stones” and all that there, it was just crazy. They really inspired me to want to rap.

[In regards to UGK getting on “Big Pimpin’” and getting a national spotlight]

That was big for me, I was real happy about that. They were finally getting that respect that they deserve. Because at that point, they had gone gold with no big videos, and were legends in the South but no one else outside of we were from knew it. When they finally got that good shine on “Big Pimpin’” and all that there, it was real good for us. We were proud of that for sure.

Lil Keke

Slim Thug: Yeah The Don. As far as inspiring me, he was closer to Houston. He from Houston and he closer to us than UGK with what I was actually doing. He had a fan base out of this world in Houston. He’s still making hot music to this day, on his new album [Hated By Many, Loved By Few]; “I'm A G” is my favorite Lil Keke song ever.

He’s still keeping up the good work. But back in the 90’s with the DJ Screw movement, he was just leading the pack. I basically followed his blueprint in the game. He started on the mixtape sh*t, then he put out that solo album. I followed his blueprint on a lot of sh*t, so I give him a lot of respect because I love his music.

Scarface

Slim Thug: It’s like ‘Face never sold out. He’s never crossed over to do commercial sh*t, he’s always done ‘Face and always kept it gangster. I think that’s why he’s never gotten the proper shine he really deserves. But he’s been a legend in our city for a long long time. We always looked at everyone else as mainstream, but ‘Face is just raw and uncut. Also lyrically he’s just out there; he can stand up with anybody. Still to this day I’m a big fan. I’m on his new album [Emeritus], and I was excited like I’m on ‘Face’s new album. So he still gets that same respect from me and a lot of other cats in the city.

[In regards to first meeting Scarface]

It was a while back. ‘Face is my homeboy. Like he actually picked out my Harley, I was like hey man I’m going to get this Harley, which one should I get? He was like “Get this one and do this to it”. So me and ‘Face cool, he always got a new nickname for me every time he see me. Real talk ‘Face is a cool dude.

real talk... I dont rate Jay-Z that much to be honest either, he got some hot tracks but not worthy of that list imo.
