[edit] Album origin & info

In 2002, Slim Thug was involved in a beef between himself and defunct Swishahouse artists Big Pic, AD, and Lil Mario. The beef started when Pic & Lil Mario started bootlegging Slim's mixtapes, and were caught, it is believed jealousy played a factor, due to the fact that Slim had a huge following through out the south and was garnishing a lot of success, while the three struggled with Swishahouse. This led to them dissing Slim on various mixtapes, but without saying his name. Slim Thug retaliated with "Tha Boss", an entire mixtape consisting of eddie kovacs which virtually took shots at Big Pic, AD, and includes how the whole the conflic started. In fact, the only artist that Slim Thug never verbally went after was Big Love, proving to be a smart move after having to retreat from a Big Love right cross in front of Selective Sounds. In 2006, XXL picked it as one of the "Top 20 Street Albums Of All Time". The cover above is not the actual cover, but a re-release, released in 2005, with some of the original songs replaced with some of his classic material from years passed. The original cover is showing him kneeling down in front of one of his motorcylces in front of an abandon building. Below is the correct tracklisting.
