Soulja Slim

let's face it, we're never going to know who the hell killed slim and it will ALWAYS be a mystery. He's been more famous in death than he was in life, and he was about to explode nationally, but his death didn't completely slow down his popularity growth. Still, the liklihood of any developments coming forth regarding his death are small, because the evidence, purps, etc....let's just say they've washed away with the time.

But that's how slim wanted it, I think; "Who killed pac? Who killed biggie? mysteries that made history in the industry"

it's more glorious and compelling when there's a mysterious componant to it. The truth behind tupac or biggie's murders are probably less exciting and sinister than fans have fantasized and it's probably the same with slim. We know what kind of life he lived, so none of us are surprised, and he himself predicted his death to quite an astonishing degree of accuracy.

RIP Slim, Free Mac, free C-Murder (several cases ongoing), free Mystikal, free Turk

Anyway I cannot tell much for three question marks, but I hoped this cleared up what I was saying.

RIP Soulja Slim

You are operating completely based on speculation, and by the way, that includes speculating that I personally don't want the murder solved. Did I say I didn't want his murder solved? Of course not. You think I don't know that there are countless fans who would surely make an ill conceived dash to "handle" slim's murder? That's not the point.

Just read my original post and you'll see that all I was saying was that it is evident from slim's own verses that a) he was almost constantly preoccupied with his own death, b) was compared this to the death of other iconic rappers, and c) deliberately painted this future event in a mysterious light before it even occured.

Now I'm not one of these people who takes EVERY little "clue" from a dead rapper's song and thinks the information is there...I'm not trying to say Krazy killed him just because he hinted something about that in his song. All I'm saying is that it's fairly reasonable that Slim would tend to stick to genuine thoughts in his songs, as this is what he became legendary for, and one of his subjects was his own death. If other fans aren't talking about this, I question whether they ever really listened to Slim's songs or just his hooks...

I wish anyone who disagrees with me the best of luck in hunting down Slim's killer, but honestly, you are wasting your time. It probably won't be that easy to solve because the simple fact is that Slim really did lead a life that with a deep involvement in drugs and violence, as did a whole lot of other people in New Orleans circa 2003. The potential motivations were limitless, including something completely pointless like a robery. Lots of people knew he had a house in gentilly and there wasn't any special security.

I hope I can put a rest to this topic so we can get back to honoring slim's music and legacy. I never said I wanted to keep the murder a mystery, I simply wanted to point out that his lyrics seemed to allude
to what we're talking about now. Between the two of us I'm the one using more realistic thought and less fantasy. Oh and my mom doesn't have a basement. I live in New Orleans; obviously you don't.
