Slim Jesus’ “Drill Time” went viral and propelled the 19-year-old rapper from Hamilton, Ohio into the national spotlight. The rapper, who is White, discusses why he doesn’t use the word “nigga” with VladTV.
“I don’t even use that in my personal life,” he says. “It’s not even like I feel like I shouldn’t or I feel like I can’t or whatever. It’s just like a personal decision. I don’t see why I would. I just don’t feel the desire to.”
Slim Jesus says it doesn’t matter whether he’s with White, Black or Asian people. He keeps the same attitude with all of them.
“It’s not like a division thing like I’m just with my friends,” he says. “I don’t act different.”
Slim Jesus doesn’t condemn the use of the word by White people, but is not impressed with it either.
“In my opinion, personally, I just think white people sound corny saying that shit,” he says. “But I mean, on like a ‘You can do it’ end, like I think, ‘Fuck it. It’s a word.’ I don’t know. I don’t really have an opinion on the matter. I just know I don’t say it and that’s a conscious decision on my part.”
For additional Slim Jesus coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
Holding a “prop” gun in ur video makes u corny too.
What is he supposed to be using a real gun? I can almost guarantee that the guns used in other rappers videos are props as well. I just think it is wack that he’s trying to portray that lifestyle.
how do u kno its a prop doe? because the kid said so?
Why is this dude getting to much coverage ? Drill time was fairly entertaining but c’mon, this is a joke and the kid is not hip hop by any means. He’s a parody
Makes me want to stop listening to hip hop altogether
You’re corny bro.. he said he chooses not to say it, a personal decision. instead of just being like.. cool… instead you try to be like “we better not hear that word come out your mouth”… you are not hard..NOBODY IS SCARED OF YOU.. stop trying to act like your checkin someone when there is no reason for checkin cuz it makes you feel tough at home, behind your desktop. Foh hows this dont checkthe kid and you’ll be safe..
OJ
This is not Hip Hop so don’t sweat it. This is just some wack gimmicky shit. Use Slim Jesus as a guiding light to the frauds. Any media outlet that claims to represent the culture then gives this clown the time of day is at the top of the fraud list.
“don’t check the kid and you’ll be safe” Or what, he’ll shoot me with his prop gun?
Smart kid. We betta not hear that word come out of your mouth, homie. As long as you respect the culture, we good!
Or what? Stitches been using it and ain’t nothing happened. “We” ain’t gonna do jack.
Its a fukking word ya douche. get over it.
Do none of the writers on this site know this kid is not an actual rapper, he is not a Hip-Hop artist. He’s a viral sensation. This is the equivalent of interviewing Honey boo boo or the kids from Charlie Bit my Finger video, writing up an article and sticking it on your front page. This dude has nothing to do with the culture and you covering him shows how completely removed you truly are from Hip-Hop.
Well said. Stop blowing up Scrubs. There are real Hip Hop artists out here that have earned respect and deserve the attention. DEF STAR Radio knows this Hip Hop DX should learn this.
Than wtf is hip hop u bitch ass nigga
I’m gonna say what we all thinking. Hip hop is black.
Aye mamba, Hip Hop doesn’t have a color man, ur silly. One of the biggest hip hop labels ever Def Jam was started by both a white guy (Rick Ruben) and a black guy (Russel Simmons).
Vlad was a real dick in that interview, the kid was giving perfectly acceptable answers most of the time and all he could say was “…okay”. Yeah he’s corny, and I don’t like his music at all, but I feel like Vlad was setting him up to be awkward. Real bitch move doing that to a kid giving his first ever interview.
Vlad is well known for trying to start shit. This isn’t anything new.
What I want know who the fuck nut in the hiphopdx interview, he still got he’s hair stuck up in the back wit all that hair spray
Does anyone know of a decent website that covers hip hop. Dx been on this kids dick. I’m just trying to get a better site. Like a real one, wit good new music and REAL journalist, writing about REAL hip hop? Anyone? Please? Dx, you sound corny. Slim Jesus, what ever. That shit don’t mean nothing to me, that Sony hip hop. That’s Wierd Al, if wierd AL wanted to be a thug… And hip hop dx ain’t stopped writing articles about him. Smh
Pussy
co-sign 100%. This site is garbage, full of amateur wannabe “journalists”
You are correct. Why support something that misrepresents the culture.

24/7 real Hip Hop Radio and coverage
@Duhfug check out djbooth.net they got what you looking for. I haven’t listen to S..J song nor do I intend to because I see he’s hyping up a negative aspect of hip hop. Though I can relate to his views on nggia. I’m black an don’t find any redeeming value in saying the word but today its a reflection of a mentality more so than race…be the change
1. Mobb Deep – Life Is A Bitch freestyle Nas Illmatic Classics from 90’s
2. Styles P ft. Jadakiss – My Party 2015 Wise Guy Is Wise Guy
3. AZ – Screwed Grew Up freestyle Ludacris Classic single of his previous album
I don’t like his music, and don’t understand why he is getting all this attention over a YouTube video filled with young kids acting like thugs. But I respect the kid for putting himself out there and getting the attention. Is this hip hop? No, but what artist out now are even considered hip hop?
He just released a new single Buck Buck and its dope just cause hes white doesn’t mean he cannot make good music….too many people care about appearances
that shits awful wtf is wrong with you
I see a pattern in these comments. People calling out wack shit and the outlets that support it. WE NEED MORE OF THIS.
Just because someone is rapping, or trying rap, does not make it Hip Hop. Contrary to what they want you to believe, the culture and the music does have some rules. Originality and skills being a couple of them.
Support those who put the effort in to master their craft and the outlets that propel these individuals.
Not into any new fuck shit rap, but respect to Slim for not using the N word. It’s a word that absolutely should not be said if your not black, period. Also, I find Vlad to be a bit of a wannabe and trying real hard to be down so to speak.
I think that by talking shit about Slim Jesus is what he wants: attention. Here comes this kid out of nowhere posting songs on the internet that everyone is talking shit about (including me). Now he’s getting interview and all over the internet. But I think this is what he wants since he probably didn’t get any attention when he was younger. The only way to really show him what we think of him is to ignore him, then he’ll realize that no one gives a shit.
Who is this “Slim Jesus” you speak of?
White rappers just have to show up.
