5 Facts About Future & Young Thug’s ‘SUPER SLIMEY’

2017 will go down as a monumental year for hip-hop and rap fans, with projects dropping from Drake, Lil Uzi, Playboi Carti, Tyler, the Creator, Jay-Z, Kendrick Lamar, 21 Savage, and many more.

One notable project from 2017 that often goes overlooked is SUPER SLIMEY, a collaborative mixtape released on October 20, 2017, by Atlanta superstar rappers Young Thug and Future.

Fresh off their Billboard Hot 100 certified 2× Platinum hit “Relationship“, rumors began to swirl that Future and Young Thug were working on a project, fueled by their numerous social media posts showcasing photos and tweets from their studio sessions together. An article by Complex highlights the buildup and signs that led to their highly anticipated collaboration tape.

5 facts about SUPER SLIMEY

1- The mixtape’s release and cover art were announced a day prior to release, on October 19, 2017

One day prior to release, the two rappers posted the title of the album along with the release date and covert art, which features a green snake-symbolizing Young Thug — who has a known love for snakes and even owns one — wrapped around a bird’s head, representing Future’s Freebandz label. The slimey texture is thought to symbolize codeine syrup, which both artists often reference in their music.

2- ‘SUPER SLIMEY’ debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 (Behind Shania Twains, ‘Now’). The tape sold 75,000 album-equivalent units, of which 15,000 were pure album sales in its first week of release

3- ‘SUPER SLIMEY‘ marked Future’s third top-three debut album of 2017, following the success of his self-titled album, FUTURE, and its companion, HNDRXX

Fast forward to 2024, and Future would surpass this feat by releasing three debut number-one albums in the same year: WE DON’T TRUST YOU, WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU, and MIXTAPE PLUTO, all of which debuted at number one.

4- The only track featuring a guest artist turned out to be the tape’s most popular song

The sole feature song on the tape, “Patek Water”‘ featured Migos’ member, Offset. The track’s popularity was likely boosted by the success of Migos’ #1 platinum album, Culture, which had dropped at the beginning of the same year and topped the Billboard 200.

“Patek Water,” which references Patek Philippe watches and the trio’s lavish lifestyles, reached #50 on Billboard’s Hot 100. HNHH called the collaboration a “standout,” while Pitchfork noted that the “timepiece-flashing song is a collective heat-check for three of rap’s hottest MCs.”

5- ‘SUPER SLIMEY’ was primarily recorded in Atlanta, with much of the production coming from local Atlanta-based producers

Both Future and Young Thug take pride in their roots, frequently referencing their hometown city of Atlanta in their music, so it would make sense that this collaboration primarily took place there. Notable producers on the album include Southside, Wheezy, London on da Track, and Mike WiLL Made-It, among others.

While Future and Young Thug have teamed up on countless tracks, SUPER SLIMEY remains an often-overlooked treasure of the 2010s. The mixtape embodies their unique chemistry and creative flair, showcasing the best of both artists while celebrating a pivotal moment in hip-hop.

Kendrick Lamar Opened for Drake on 2012 Club Paradise Tour

The Drake and Kendrick Lamar rap feud was the biggest in more than a decade for the rap community. The feud included more than 8 diss tracks exchanged between the two over the span of a month.

But at one point Drake and Kendrick were collaborators and even toured together. In 2011 Drake gave Kendrick Lamar an enormous recognition boost by featuring him on his wildly popular 2011 album, Take Care, which won Drake his first Grammy Award, winning Best Rap Album.

Following the success of Drake’s Take Care album, a tour of North America was planned. Joining him for opening acts on the tour included up and coming rappers Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky.

The tour’s name spun off from the 2011 song “Club Paradise“, a promotional single released ahead of the release of Take Care, which, in turn, borrowed its name from a strip club in Toronto.

The very popular and attended 2012 concerts would aid in breaking Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky into the rap game and to an audience that might not have known them otherwise. Due to the large demand and tickets selling out in minutes in multiple locations, extra tour dates were even added to the itinerary, which included a second leg across the United States.

The tour became a commercial success, grossing $42 million in the tour’s duration. It was the highest-grossing hip-hop tour of 2012, according to Pollstar‘s annual year end tour chart.

Drake and Kendrick Lamar at a ‘Club Paradise’ show in 2012

At the Finale of the North American Club Paradise show, Drake gave Kendrick and Rocky praise and doubled down on bringing them on tour with him.

“There are people like you who are well-versed in who those guys are, but there’s people that will get out there and be like, what the f*ck was this? And maybe three years from now they’ll be like, damn, I was there for that moment. … I don’t want to do some big arena tour like, let’s go me J. Cole and Wiz Khalifa, Big Sean, cuz that’s what’s going to sell right now, those guys all have albums out. … And it’s really me giving Rocky and Kendrick a chance to say, I’m bringing you out, do with it what you will. You take it to the moon from here, congratulations, because we’ll be immortalized in this moment.“

Does this change or shift your perspective of the current feud between Kendrick and Drake now?

Kendrick Lamar was Featured on Drake’s ‘Take Care’ Album in 2011

There’s no denying that the Drake and Kendrick Lamar rap feud of 2024 was the biggest in the rap game in decades. The feud included more than 8 diss tracks exchanged between the two within a month.

But at one point Drake and Kendrick were collaborators and even toured together. In fact, in 2011 Drake gave Kendrick Lamar an enormous recognition boost by featuring him on his wildly popular 2011 album, Take Care, which won Drake his first Grammy Award, winning Best Rap Album. In fact, it was Drake’s idea to have Kendrick Lamar on the ‘Buried Alive Interlude‘.

In a 2011 interview with XXLmag.com (The year Kendrick was featured on XXL‘s annual freshman list) Kendrick talks about his first meeting with Drake and how he became featured.

“I did a show in Toronto. My first show in Toronto. I think it was the same night, we was going back to the hotel, and he hit my phone. I guess he had got the word that I was in town. He was there for the night working for the album, and he just said he wanted to meet up. We met up, chilled out, got to vibe, see where each other was at and sh*t.“

Drake would reach out again after Kendrick dropped his debut studio album, Section.80 (which Kendrick reportedly emailed drake) and told him he loved what he did on the album and wanted Kendrick on his upcoming album. Drake followed by sending K-dot the 40 produced instrumental and told him to ‘”do whatever he wanted to do on it.”

On the song a very chill introspective Kendrick even speaks about the encounter of meeting a much more popular rapper in Drake and and his hope and suspicions that come with rising in the rap game. Listen to the song below.

Fast forward to 2024 amidst the Drake and Kendrick fued, Drake would release a “Buried Alive Interlude, Pt. 2”. Which was a remix of Kendrick Lamar’s interlude of the same title, borrowing Kendrick’s cadence, flow and tone from the track to mock the rapper over lines about how Drake boosted up Lamar’s career through bringing him on tour.

The track was first posted by Drake to his Instagram (now deleted) as part of the promo for his third diss track towards Kendrick titled, ‘FAMILY MATTERS‘. Listen to the track below.

Hov passed the beat that became Big Pun’s biggest hit

Jay-Z almost recorded over the instrumental that ended up being Big Pun’s biggest hit, “Still Not A Player,” but he passed it.

“There’s a lot that didn’t make it, that I tried to force and then other people used them,” Joshua recalled. “‘Still Not A Player, I had that. I had ‘Woah,’ I think [Memphis] Bleek passed on that. We had ‘Lights, Camera, Action,’ [JAY] said it was too slow. I was like, ‘What you mean it’s too slow?’”
