Pitchfork:

“After your album flop…you gon’ be on Koch.” That was Houston rapper Lil Flip slamming crosstown rival Slim Thug in 2005. Well, not that Flip’s career is doing any better, but his precognition is on point. Already Platinum, Slim’s much-hyped 2005 major-label debut failed to go, uh, platinum (embarrassing!) and now he is indeed a part of the Koch Records ex-major-label rap empire. Slim’s already dropped two albums from his Boss Hogg Outlawz crew on the New York indie, and now he’s all set to release Boss of All Bosses, his long-awaited follow-up. The album is due on March 24, and the Flock of Seagulls-inspired “I Run”, the first single, is already making the rounds.

Er, woops!  Seriously, how funny is this?  And big ups to the ‘Fork for bringing in Tom Breihan to write these news bits.  Less insane volume and more pithy commentary like this would definitely be a good move.
