I've had a feeling that the only reason why this Dre gave this guy a shot was because of his supposed relations with DOC and probably his street ties. I know it's common in the industry and i may evenbe wrong but i seriously doubt dude would sign him if he was regular joe from South Central. What i'm saying is there's probably a motive as to why they signed him, outside of his "talent" i believe, might be tax write-off might be something else but i just get the feeling that it ain't strictly music cuz Slim isn't wack but def isn't anything special at all and does not have the star potential that Aftermath/Interscope usually looks for.

Is Slim also related to Chocolate? He been fuckin with Dre ever since the start of Death Row.

Slim doesn't really stand out in any way.. neither lyrics, flow, voice or charisma sets him apart from most new rappers.. true, dre is making himself look bad by hyping slimthat's what a lot of people are saying

And that's been evident since the start. What many forgot is that Bishop was set to be Dre's new "sidekick" for the "Detox" era, like Snoop during the "Chronic" era and Em in the "2001" era. Slim the Mobster was a typical additional sighnee like 50, Game...etc (not the main sidekick-type character). Bishop's departure from Aftermath put a hold on those plans which added to Detox's delay even more. Now Dre is desperately trying to replace Bishop as his new main protoge, but people like Mobster, Game/50, Hayes, and even Kendrick (to an extent) won't. Kendrick does stand out more than the others like Bishop did, but I feel he doesn't display as much of a versatile entertainment value that can reach all demographics that Bishop has.

what about hitman?that was dre's sidekick.........and he was a flop........people shouldnt be checking for dre sidekicks
bishop was dope, had good content for the most part, although i didn't like his vocals all the time and especially his slower flow. i think stat quo deserved to drop his album over there and that joell ortiz was the best artist signed in recent years. good thing he was smart and left before being shelved for years and/or dropped.after the big bang (letdown overall) i'm dubious whether dre has any spectacular tracks left outside his own album for signees, but slim the mobster could be suitable for lacing some of those gangsta beats that he's known so well for. looking more and more like anticipointment tho
