Soulja Slim RIP...10 years later

[catfish hunter]

the patron saint of new orleans. a real one.

Love Me or Love Me Not should have been a hit.

Love Me or Love Me Not should have been a hit.

It should have been. Sadly his first hit record was the guest verse on Slow Motion which even Juve says was a Slim song. It's still surprising to me how often people forget to mention his influence.

[blastmaster]

Yup. He basically just jumped on the song. BG has used a bunch of his shit in a jay-z/BIG type of way.

"I'll Pay For It" makes it way into every New Orleans mix I ever make. His post-No Limit stuff is so damn enjoyable.

i wanted an album of him and Mac over KLC's beats......that was my ultimate teamup. R.I.P. to the man who brought us classics and my war cry of "NIGGA......WHAT THE FUCK!??!"

i remember buying "Give It 2 Em Raw" and "MP Da Last Don" in the same week back in 1998, but never really giving the Slim album much listen.
i didn't even know who we was outside of being one of many No Limit artists releasing an album that year. i still to this day can't name a song
outside of "Slow Motion", but it is a shame that between at least 1998 and 2003 he had dropped a few albums, but didn't get recognized until
Juvenile decided to use "Slow Motion".

Isn't the case of Soulja Slim and Juvenile the first time a No Limit rapper was on a Cash Money rapper's album? I think people overlook that, too.


oddly enough, one of my favorite new orleans rap songs is by a deceased rapper, too, but that's MC Thick's "Marrero".

Mac was on Chopper City but that might have been recorded before he was signed to No Limit. Slow Motions definitely a bigger deal either way.

slim wasn't on no limit anymore when he made slow motion

[catfish hunter]

Mac wasn't on No Limit when he did the song with B.G. & Slim wasn't on No Limit since the 90s.

I doubt anyone remembers an adolescent Mac when he that music video about having crushes on girls riding the school bus? I wanna say Big Boy Records was responsible. I haven't seen the video in ages but I'm sure it can be found on youtube.

also FREE MAC. I think he had the potential to be a contender.

WHAT THE FELLAS BE YELLIN

instant classic

Yeah Mac was a great kid rapper actually. I think some blog post about that video was how I heard about him.

Im looking at it on discogs now and I think Mannie produced the whole album and Gregory D wrote at least some of it. Actually, this might be one of the earliest examples of how how they all worked with the same people before the labels/rivalry. I think P said recently it was neighborhood beef that spilled over rather than just competition like with Big Boy.

Id love if there was tapes of whatever Mystikal and KLC did together early on, so much shit gets lost to time.

one thing i used to do back in the days when record stores existed was look at all the cd racks. and, as i remember, "the streets made me" was released on "No Limit South", whatever the hell that was. no limit was south by definition, well, once they became popular. i guess there's argument for that consider the richmond roots, but i don't think that existence of "Def Jam South" then the sudden existence of a label called "No Limit South" a year or two later is any coincidental matter.

then again, that soulja slim album is the only thing that label dropped.

fine print says "distributed by Southwest Wholesale" which brings me the memories of online texas independent CD merchants like anti-store.com
which led to me finding this flickr page of texas spots like the inside of the Screwed Records-N-Tapes store, etc.

Southwest Wholesale is such a dope story. Needs to be a documentary.

[blastmaster]

Select-O-Hits too.

Select-O-Hits too.

Jeff is still fairly active. I uses to scan the cd racks at the local shop and make purchases based on the Select-O logo. That shit was a stamp of quality back in the day.
