Hip Hop Saved My Life Was Based On Slim Thug’s Come Up
“It is based on Slim Thug,” Lupe revealed. “I was with him when we shot the video, and he was like, ‘Yo, is this song about me?’ I didn’t know at the time, but there was a situation in Houston where they were trying to figure out who the song was about. Was it about Slim Thug? Was it about Chamillionaire? And it was about Slim Thug, but [then] I dedicated the song to Bun. I called him up and said, ‘Yo, Bun, I’ve got a song for you, check it out,’ and he was the first person to hear it. I sent it to him and he was like, ‘Yo, it’s all good.’ “

SLIM THUG IS GOD
Bun B is a whack southern rapper?…Because that’s who it was dedicated to. He said it was based off Slim Thugs come up..which is basically the come up of alot of rappers..he said he wanted to make a “Kick, Push” for rappers..he just used Slim Thugs story for the narrative
Paris, Tokyo is suppose to be coming soon….I heard they showed it on t.v. in the UK recently….so a video should be somewhere soon…can’t wait

All this writing songs and dedicating it to other rappers is corny and gay as hell.
Songs dope. Thats all that matters. Slim Thug should claim some royalties tho!!

Everything has to be negative or “thugged out”… thats some YOUNG DUMB sh!t @ 25+ you should have enough under your belt to start gettin serious!
Its a shame dudes call homie gay for a story and song like this… its the story of 90% of the rappers or so they say so whats really hood?
@ daniel87… American Gansta was not hot jus cause the radio played damn near all the singles! (Payola)
And it wasn’t a new idea either… 50 did it before him…lmao!
Curtis jackson as 50 cent! (Seeing most y’all forget that was a real person)
