Today in Hip-Hop History: No Limit’s Soulja Slim Shot and Killed 19 Years Ago

Screen Shot 2022 11 26 at 8.27.22 AM

On this day in 2003, James Tapp Jr., who is better known to the Hip Hop community as Soulja Slim, was shot and killed in front of his mother’s residence the night before Thanksgiving in his hometown of New Orleans. He was 26 years old.

Slim’s killer, the 22-year-old Gerelle Smith, was arrested on New Year’s Eve for the shooting but was released after no witnesses would come forward, even though the murder weapon was found in Smith’s possession. In August 2011, Smith was also shot and killed.

The New Orleans District Attorney’s office still has Slim’s murder listed as a cold case.

Soulja Slim is best known for his Juvenile assisted “Slow Motion”, which was the premiere track that featured both of New Orleans’ Hip-Hop first families; No Limit Records and Cash Money Records.

Salute to Slim (RIP) and the city of New Orleans for giving the world a chance to hear the voice of one of its kings.

The Hip Hop community has been mourning the loss of James “Soulja Slim” Tapp, but now his sister Peaches is taking to the internet to speak on another New Orleans legend that she believes had a part in Soulja Slim’s killing in November 2003.

Slim’s sister initially went off about Master P and the recently released No Limit Chronicles docuseries on BET, saying that everything the NOLA music mogul said about every other New Orleans-based artist other than himself was a lie. Peaches, while rolling a blunt, claimed that C-Murder had more respect in the streets of the Big Easy that Master P, which has a lot more to do with why Corey Miller remains in prison for a murder that many believe he did not commit.

To conclude the video, Peaches surprised the viewers by stating how Master p played a part in her brother’s death.
