Slim Thug
Album : Already Platinum
Release Date : July 12, 2005
Label : Geffen Records

Already Platinum will be Slim Thug’s solo debut, after releasing three albums on his indie Boss Hogs Outlawz label : Boss Hog Outlawz by Slim Thug and ESG ; The Big Unit by Slim Thug and Lil Keke ; and the Boyz -N- Blue compilation by the Boss Hog Outlawz, Slim Thug’s crew.
The name of the crew plays on Slim’s own nickname, Boss Hog, which he earned because of the car he used to drive, a drop-top ’75 Cadillac, "just like the one Boss Hog used to drive in the ’Dukes of Hazzard,’" he says. The idea of the Outlawz was born because Slim and his comrades felt they were running the city, "like the street police - the real police."

It may seem surprising that Slim Thug is working with the Neptunes on Already Platinum - but not to him. He feels that with all the freestyles he’s dropped over Neptunes-produced instrumentals on the mixtape circuit, "I damn near did rhyme over all their stuff already." Slim Thug met Pharrell when he would come into town for shows and promotional appearances. "I ended up doing a song with Fam-Lay (also on Star Track) and Pharrell liked what he heard." Enough to sign him to their label.

Slim Thug’s major-label debut solo album will be released by Geffen Records through Star Trak, the label founded and fun by mega-star producers The Neptunes.

Updates :

Slim Thug Already Platinum Delayed, One’s again :
New Release Date : July 12, 2005

Already Platinum : New Track Listing.
Iterviewer : There are already bootlegs of "Already Platinum" floating around the internet. Apart from ethically speaking, why would you advise fans to purchase the retail version of your album over others ?
Slim Thug : ’cause the bootleg version, first of all wasn’t the whole album. It had a few songs on there, I ain’t gon’ lie, that’s off of the album. But at the same time a lot of the record is just songs that were recorded. They just put them together. Not to mention, I’m gonna put at least ten more new songs on that record. They don’t have the record with me and Snoop. They don’t have the record with me and Scarface. They just got a few records I had did by myself.

The single from Slim Thug "I Ain’t Heard of That" will be available for digital download 2/22 through iTunes, MusicMatch, etc...

What it do Mannn ? I have been keeping up with that Boy SLIM THUGGER for about 10 years down here in the BIG TX. I have been wondering why the world waited this long to just now understand SLIM THUG ran this shit down here coming out that Greenspoint aka (THUGGSPOINT). You know I’m not from the H I’m from a small town northwest of Screwston TX to you all probably known as Houston TX,but any way it’s much love to SLIM and hurt dem" boy’s nationwide it’s been a long time coming but we Dirty azz N.I.G.G.A.Z there ya’ll ain’t heard of that uh. signing out BaccWoodBoyRider.

Oh, please BELIEVE the Big Boss Hog is gettin’ love from DC baby ! That man is hot in these streets, ya heard me ?

> Slim Thug "Already Platinum", by Bigg Ro ATX Boy [2005-02-01 23:14:09]

Slim Thug is one of the hardest rappers out of H-town. Hopefully Slim Thug wont become commercial like another rapper did from Houston (Flip). He represents Texas to the fullest and everybody better watch out for us Lone Star Ballers.

> Slim Thug "Already Platinum", by s.b.mexkin [2005-01-23 19:54:36]

I just gotta say people gotta get ready fo that boy Slim, cause that nigga gonna take over the rap game, his already well respected in Houston and the whole dirty south, now he gonna show the country how it goes down in H-Town.

> Slim Thug "Already Platinum", by big chris [2005-01-22 23:26:56]

what it is folk it’s a shame that this nigga album is already on the bootleg market man shit it’s bad niggas try to bust yo hustle before time is due for shit to happen dog i would change shit up on niggas if i was slim you know i will buy the original shit mane when it drop cause comin from me a rapper and a dj i will damn near beat these spamp ass niggas half to death for bootlegin my shit.

> Slim Thug "Already Platinum", by Up North to Down South Migrator [2005-01-19 23:01:29]

It’s too bad that folks up north only go by what they see on "106& Park" because this dude is really good. I’m glad that his style is basically the same as it was when he was "screwed up" cause at the end of the day Slim Thug gonna still have his money, his street cred., and his HOUSTON home-town respect...besides, who really wants to trade a #1 countdown spot for your personal self image-I’ll choose the Boss Hog ova musik like B2-whack ANY day !
