Slim Thug - Smile
Artist: Slim Thug
Producer: Jim Jonsin
Album: Boss of All Bosses
Label: Boss Hogg Outlawz/E1 Music
Houston’s Slim Thug admitted to our own DJ Z that, as far as choosing a follow-up to Boss of All Bosses lead single I Run, his prioridad numero uno was to “keep it street.” As it turns out, Slim’s label had other plans, and the emcee may want to reconsider his decision to quit hitting the gym (as he discussed in last week’s exclusive interview)—the new single is aimed squarely at all the females who’d like nothing more than to pose for a picture with the Houston icon. Asking a lucky lady to “Smile for the camera,” Slim goes on to tout his “supersized swag” and, of course, blow off all his haters as I Run producer Jim Jonsin dresses up a tried-and-true chord progression in swirling synths, arpeggiated bells, and sweeping strings. Smile may not be “street,” but it has undeniable hit potential—here’s hoping the single serves its intended purpose and has women nationwide flocking to record shops on the 24th.

This definitely isn't a street single, but I guess this is what the people want and what this industry thrives off of. That being said, this song sounds good. Great production from Jim Jonsin. This track did catch me off guard though, is Slim on the auto-tune on that hook?

Definetly this new Slim Thugga is goin to hold me off until Boss of All Bosses drops. Slim is the real boss, that said, cant wait for his album to drop. ALtough Im feelin 'I Run' more then this joint I've got to say this track is almost as god. The hook of I run was special, and in this song Slim is carrying it tru on his own. The intrumentals and his lyrics are perfectly tuned. yea I thought he used a little autotune on that hook too banger Dont be chary with the volume

I can't hate on the production, cuz its real tight. The hook is corny and Slim Thug doesn't say nothin special wit the same flow he uses for every song. This does have hit potential, but its nuttin more den OK to me.

Can't stand Slim Thug, he's not entertaining me neither is he a "rapper/MC". I like the tone of his voice tho. Autotune = please stooooop it! That looks so desperate and retarded. Jim Jonsin is a beast! Real hot production.

One thing is safe to say here: Thugga got his monies worth out of his studio sessions with Jim Jonsin. This will appeal to radio, which is the goal when trying to sell units, so its no surprise this is up next as a single.
I think Thugga is able to show more of his skills on the mic when he rocks street anthems. As we both know, he agrees with my assessment.

Yeah this beat is bangin by Jonsin. Aint a usual Slim Thug song but it will definitely get some plays. The production is fire and his lyrics are good for this type of female song. Banger!

Slim Thug definitely got his money worth working with Jim Jonsin. As for this song, Im more of a fan of 'I Run', though this is still very solid song. The production was good & Thugga never disappoints with the mic.

This is cool. I'm not thrilled wit it. Slim has been bringing some good shit to the table lately, but this isn't one of um. I really dig "AJ's" He should hand us that one.

4 stars for Jim Jonsin (he should've been crowned producer of the year in he booth...). 2 stars for slim thug, who simply wasted an incredible beat.

BANGER! Another dope Jim Jonsin production. I think it's more poppy and appealing than Kiss Me Thru The Phone. Always loved Slim Thugga and he sounds nice on the chorus. Very happy yet gangsta song lol.

im actually feeling this. like everyone already said, Jim Jonsin is a beast on this, I Run was still better, but if I Run had a better hook instead of the old sample it woulda been sick
