4.0 out of 5 stars
Wow, am I surprised, February 7, 2006
I didn't really know what to expect upon hearing Slim Thug's album; although he (and Paul Wall) saved "Still Tippin'", I wasn't impressed by his mailed-in verse on Gwen Stefani's "Luxurious". And while it IS true that his tag AND his album's tag, Already Platinum, are ill-titled because he's not really slim nor is the album even close to platinum, the thing of it is, it deserves to be.
When I found out that Slim was on Star Trak, I was a little skeptical because a tough rapper and Neptunes beats don't exactly sound like they would go together like bread and butter, but it actually works quite well. There are plenty of standouts, including "Like a Boss", "Playa You Don't Know" and, of course, "I Ain't Heard of That". Another highlight is the posse cut "3 Kings" with Bun-B (what would a rap album nowadays be without him?) and T.I.
Slim also gives interesting twists to been-there-done-that topics. "Miss Mary" is a pretty decent song for the ladies, but even better than that is "Dedicate", an homage to his friends locked up. And the necessary Jazze Phizzle productizzle, "Incredible Feelin'", should give you just that.
Most albums aren't without their faults; ergo, "This Is My Life" could have been left behind. I also could have done without Pharrell's verse on the title track (but he was never much of a rapper anyway -- and maybe it's time for him to realize that nobody's going to buy shoes called Ice Creams). But Already Platinum is an above-average album that's better than a lot of the stuff that's out right now, so pick it up.

P.S. While we're talking about Star Trak, where's that new Clipse album at??? Is it having the same fate that Exclusive Audio Footage had?

5.0 out of 5 stars
Plain & Simple 5 stars, September 30, 2005
First there shouldn't be any complaints because you basically get 2 cd's for the price of one when some people just got the one for the price of one. The bonus cd is basically a few songs chopped and screwed and some cuts from Slim and the boyz n blue to plug the new album. Slim really surprised me with this album, truly it reminds you of a surprising T.I when he droped Trap muzik. By that I mean not every single song sounds the same and every lyric has a different logic other than the mediocre pop mainstream rap.
I hear a lot of people comparing slim thugs style to like david banner, mike jones, and the list goes on. The difference between slim and other artist he's compared to is simply that he's a better lyricist. Now comparing him to T.I or Scareface would be stupid because he's not on that level yet but I'm very sure he'll progress.
Besides lyrics the beats are sick, he has some producers doing more than one beat but they still sound different like when you hear a swiss beatz track you know he did it. Plus there's a perfect blend of slow, crunk, and chill tracks which means you can just put this in and let the album run it's a strait play threw no skip album. This album to me is perfect and one of the best I've heard this year and it definitely surpasses mike jones if you dont have Already platinum you need to get it.
