I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since the world lost James Tapp aka Soulja Slim. About Soulja Slim: If you looking for some real gangsta rapper,the one who could really call himself like that,whose violent lyrics were real,then Soulja Slim is. Date deceased:November 26,2003 (aged 26) Place of death:Gentilly,New Orleans. Place of birth:New Orleans,Louisiana. Date of birth:September 9,1977.
It’s so fucked up mane and I remember hearing the news about him being shot multiple times in the face and once in the chest. Slim was born in 1977 September 9th and was slained on his mom’s lawn the day after Thanksgiving on November 26th 2003. But before Slim was with No Limit he was with DJ KLC (Beats By The Pound/Medicine Men) way back in 93. Slim was definitely a true street soldier who survived many trials & tribulations and stood tall at 6’5” with a slim built frame. Him and Snoop Doggy Dogg landed there at the same time right after Slim got out of prison.
Some of the other rappers who came from the notorious 3rd Ward is Curren$y, his older brother and former No Limit rapper Mr. One of the most dangerous projects in America and also the most dangerous hood in New Orleans back in the 90’s to early 2000’s. Back in the day he was Magnolia Slim which he represented Magnolia 3rd Ward Projects in New Orleans. People wasn’t ready for Soulja Slim at all, dude was too raw with this shit.
Smith had a pistol in his possession and the ballistics matched the slugs that had killed Soulja Slim. On New Year’s Eve 2003, police arrested 22-year-old Garelle Smith in connection with Slim’s death, and they thought they had him dead to rights. Soulja Slim started the Soujla stuff in New Orleans wearing the camouflage attire along with “Soujla Reebok” in the streets (Not going to say too much but just listen to the music).One of my favorite Soulja Slim songs is Soulja 4 Life, which was re-released on dead prez and the Outlawz compilation album, Can't Sell Dope Forever.
He use to rock the Club 49 where a lot of local artist would get on the mic and rap like Pimp Daddy, Kilo G, UNLV, DJ Jimi, Juvenile, Warren Mayes, Partners N Crime, G Slimm, Everlasting Hitman, Lil Slim, and so many others dead & alive. Along with a lot of rappers back then he wasn’t just a rapper just check his background along with some of the other rappers out of the N.O. Anyways, back when Slim was rapping in the early days he was doing bounce rapping but he did show his lyrical side too. Had shook the monkey off their back. Heroin was really big back then for kids to do thank god him and B.G. Norm MacDonald, the Canadian comedian best known as the host of Weekend Update on.During his teenage years in the 90’s he was doing a lot of drugs and the drug choice a lot of rappers rapped about including B.G.
On some of Slim’s songs he mentioned the infamous Sam Scully, Glen Mettz, & other big time drug lords in the N.O. Anything Slim rapped about better believe he was doing it, check out Gangland episode about the Gotti Boyz. That year was the highest murder rate that New Orleans ever had, also they still have a record breaking 86 per 100,000 murder capita and ’til this day that haven’t been beat by any other city in the United States (Imagine if that place was as big as Chicago or New York).
Soulja Slim Dead Plus He Was
The thing I respected about Slim the most was that he wasn’t fake at all plus he was very talented. Reportedly shot twice in the face and five times in the chest while leaving his car on his way to visit his mum. Real Name: James Tapp Hailing From: Magnolia Projects, New Orleans Date of Birth: SeptemDate of Death: Novem(New Orleans) Cause of Death: Gunned down. A young Slim holding a pumpIn Memory of Soulja Slim (10 Years After Dead) REST in PEACE Soulja Slim 11/26/03-11/26/13. Sam Scully have been dead since the late 80’s but his death started an ongoing drug turf war in New Orleans that’s going on right now in 2013. Master P mentioned Sam Scully in “Ghetto Heroes” in ’96 from the Ice Cream Man album.
By 1996 he had a murder charge in which he beat the case but was locked up for armed robbery. He also gave Cash Money artist Magonlia Shorty her name at the time when she was a young teenager. That same year at age 17 he was shot on two different occasions left for dead but he survived through it. By ’95 Slim was signed with Hype Enough Records then he released his Dark Side EP. He talked about that stuff in his songs which you’ll have to listen. He didn’t have that Soulja Sign (Green Cross) between his eyes for nothing mane.
I wish Lil’ Real One would have blown up dude was nice on the mic to me. He had his cousin Twelve O Klok, Lil’ Real One, and others signed to his label were as real as Slim was (Some of them had Soulja Signs too). Along with many artists out of No Limit, Soujla Slim left in ’02 since No Limit didn’t promote his album right nor paid him all of his funds so he became independent and created Cut Throat Committee Records. In 2003 months after Slim was killed, police arrested Garelle.
After Soulja Slim death police had accused Slim of 6 other murders. He was already a suspect to a lot of murders which people was scared to testify but the Soulja Slim murder was the big one and I knew one day Garelle would get his number pulled since he was a suspect. Garelle SmithGarelle Smith, who was suspected in killing Soulja Slim, actually killed himself with shots to the head and chest around 2008 (5 years after Slim). You are a New Orleans legend but one of Southern Hip-Hop’s best kept secret. Rest In Peace Soulja Slim you’ll never be forgotten bruh.
Both of them guys were deceased not too long after that. Since they use to be real tight. & SlimI find it weird how Twelve and VL Mike diss B.G. Kept saying he was going to put it out and DJ KLC kept saying how dope it is since he produced some of the beats.
Check out Soujla Slim since I know a lot of people who not from the South definitely slept on Slim. I fucked with a lot of underground shit being from the South.
