Exclusive: Slim Thug Talks HOUSTON Mixtape; Planning Album With Z-Ro
(AllHipHop News) Houston, Texas rapper Slim Thug recently spoke with AllHipHop.com about the success of his most recent mixtape HOUSTON, which was released in December.
The latest offering from Slim Thug features appearances from artists like Curren$y, Bun B, Paul Wall, Z-Ro, Kirko Bangz, Marcus Manchild, Killa Kyleon, Dre Day and other members of the Boss Hogg Outlawz.
Slim Thug says that after years, he is finally enjoying all aspects of the craft he has been mastering, since he was a teenager.
“Man really, I’m just having fun. That’s it, just going to the studio having fun with my patnas man. Ideas came and I just wanted to stay in the studio,” Slim Thug told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive interview. “All throughout my career, I never really liked being in the studio, but now I finally started enjoying it. Sitting with a producer and building, I’m finally enjoying it now.”
Slim Thug is using his Twitter account (@slimthugga), to promote the HOUSTON mixtape.
Slim Thug has also developed “Thug Thursdays,” where the rapper releases a new song every week, for fans via Twitter.
“We ain’t plan the mixtape or nothing, I just said I wanted to drop a track every Thursday,” Slim explained. “Then we turned it into a mixtape and then my album. I’m just going to keep having fun, keep making music, stay in the studio and whatever it ends up on, it ends up on. I ain’t trippin, I’m having fun and getting money.”
In addition to his HOUSTON mixtape, Thugga has been working diligently on a new project with fellow Texas representer Z-Ro.
Slim Thug and Z-Ro are working on a new album entitled Hogg Life, tentatively planned for release in the Summer or 2012.
“We already did three or four songs already and we just now getting started, but we did a record the night before last and it came out real good, so I’m real excited about that,” Thugga explained to AllHipHop.com about his work with Z-Ro.
“My new solo album, Hogg Life is gonna drop in the Summer or maybe before. Me and Z-Ro working on the record, anything you need you can download off my Twitter page.”
When asked about the respect he commands across the city of Houston and Texas in general, Slim told AllHipHop he attributes the fans’ loyalty to his longevity in the Houston rap scene.
“Really, I just been doing this for so long,” Slim Thug told AllHipHop.com. “A lot of people think that I’m old, but I just turned 31 in September. I’ve been doing this since I was 17, so even then I was around the OGs in the game. I just been reppin’ Houston for a long time, I think that’s what people respect.”

Hip-Hop Rumors: Mobb Deep Tag-Teamed Erica Mena? Says Her Rep No Bueno!
“LOVE AND HIP-HOP” – MOBB DEEP AGREES WITH KIMBELLA ON ERICA!
I’m just getting hip to this Erica chick. She’s on “Love and Hip-Hop.” From what I understand, she claims that a fight with Kimbella has ruined her reputation in the entertainment industry. She also alleges that she was misrepresented on the show as well. But, people inside the music game are abuzz that she’s never had such a great rep to begin with. It all starts with my boys from Mobb Deep. They aren’t actually my boys, but I’d like to think they are since they are legends. Continued after, the lovely picture.
But, people inside of the crew hipped me to Erica, too. In Prodigy’s book “My Infamous Life,” he makes mention of Erica. In the book, Havoc of Mobb Deep is “dating” Erica. Meanwhile, the group is at a performance where they are drinking heavily and partying like crazy. P says he was so out of it, he started “talking” to Erica. He said, while…actually before I ruin the story, here it is in P’s words:
On the flip side, Kimbella recently made the shocking allegations to TheYBF.com:
No! The one thing I can tell you is that folks in the industry are saying before “Love & Hip Hop,” she was found stripping in the Valley and giving blow jobs for $200. So that is the career that me and VH1 are ruining?
This is a dirty game, B. LITERALLY. For more, go to TheYBF.com.

(AllHipHop News)Rapper 50 Cent has landed a major distribution deal and it’s not for his music, it’s for his new Street King energy shot.
50 has been tirelessly promoting the energy drink, which he launched in September of 2011.

50 Cent launched the Street King energy shot, in order to fight world hunger.
Everytime a shot is purchased, a meal is provided for a child in need.
According to 50, his goal is to serve over 1 billion meals, via the Street King energy drink initiative.
Street King is expected to expand its distribution nationally under the deal with Pepsi.
50 is very familiar with doing business with soft drink makers.
In 2007, 50, who owned a stake in vitamin water, earned over $100 million dollars after Coca-Cola purchased the company for over $4 billion dollars.
Hip-Hop Rumors: Diddy Tweets Cassie While Celebrating With Kim Porter?!
Oh man, Diddy sure does live up to his “player” image. doesn’t he!
Last night, Diddy was the perfect family man, hosting a New Year’s Eve party at his home in South Beach with his on again/off again girlfriend Kim Porter. The two have three children together and have been an item so long that we’re sure they qualify as a common law marriage! Diddy and Kim co-hosted the shin-dig together, along with their twin daughters and son.
Unfortunately for Kim, Diddy was busy sending tweets to his rumored girlfriend Cassie. Diddy tweeted @officialcas happy new year baby girl!!!!! 🙂 2012
Back on December 27, poor Cassie tweeted “Love is too complicated for me.” She did not respond to Diddy’s tweet. Wonder if this marks the end for the not-so-undercover lovers?
Hip-Hop Rumors: Drake Rings in the New Year with his Ex?!
So much for those Dollicia Bryant rumors! Last night, Drake was spotted ringing in the New Year with his ex, Zineb aka Nebby. For those who don’t know, Nebby was Drake’s self-proclaimed first love, and the woman who inspired his break out hit, “Best I Ever Had”. The two were all hugged up on the Nivea Stage after Drake’s performance on Carson Daily’s NYE special. Check out the photo below.
Drake has also name dropped her in a few of his songs, including “Look What You’ve Done”, where he raps, ‘It’s like ’09 in your basement and I’m in love with Nebby / And I still love her but it fell through because I wasn’t ready‘.
True love never dies! We’d rather see Drake with his first love before a video vixen and industry jump off any day. Nubby, do what you gotta do, girl!
