I don't know what you find puzzling, but if you knew exactly who killed them and why, it would not be as big of a deal, no one would talk about it as much, and their deaths would become less iconic. In short, they wouldn't really be importal, just another dead rapper. Tupac and soulja slim both talked about their impending deaths several times in albums, and I think each chose the way they were going to die conciously aware of
how they wanted to be remembered. While Soulja Slim's death didn't get as much national attention, I think it's even more the case with him than with Tupac.

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

RIP Soulja Slim

It strikes me as odd to want to keep yet another unsolved murder of a rapper unsolved in the interest of keeping the "fantasies" of the fans alive. And besides that, have you even read any of the other posts on this thread? The fans you claim to speak for practically have a bounty on the killer's head. But keep fantasizing about gangstas in your moms basement dude.

I DIDNT USE TO KNOW ABOUT HIM,AT FIRST. IT'S TRUE WHAT THEY THAT "REAL RECOGNIZE REAL". BECAUSE IF WAS'NT I WOULD'VE NEVER RECOGNIZED SOILJA SLIM. AS FOR HIS MURDER, WHEN YOUR WELL KNOWN AND RESPECTED BY MANY, AS HE WAS, THINGS LIKE THAT COULD HAPPEN. LET FINISH BY SAYING R.I.P. TO SOILJA SLIM, AND IF HE WAS STILL HERE HE WOULD'VE LEGENDARY LIKE PAC AND BIGGIE

two weeks pass...
What strikes me as odd is that I am quoting slim verbatim and these supposed fans don't even recognize the lyrics. This isn't some obscure unreleased verse. ANY real fan of slim wouldn't dispute my argument based on his lyrics.

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.
