Paul wall is the man. I noticed something after his hot 97 interview. he was never placed in the "white rapper" category when people talked about him. he was just another fellow artist. that alone is mad respect. he's good to his wife too. which is dope af.

[@justforkickschris]

He was well respected and known way before any hot 97 interview. You must be from the east coast

[@ILLiteSociety]

+justforkickschris I know that. I just never noticed that until they pointed it out.

For those not from Texas ,S.L.A.B is an acronym for Slow Loud And Banging.

[@superthowed]

+Terrance Williams Should be Slow Low And Bangin. Why you need two words describing the decibel level. I always thought it was stupid even back in the gap.

[@wickedhouston5538]

+Terrance Williams back in the 1980s it just meant your car was low. no acronym

[@raymundocastillo9933]

It's just slab. Cause you were low to the ground or the concrete aka the slab. Like a slab of concrete. Slow loud and bangin wasn't a thing until Guerrilla Maab made the cd s.l.a.b.

[@mogul214]

Raymundo Castillo in dallas our definition is an old school car with big rims, a nice paint job and a banging sound system...ive also hear old school artists refer to the slow loud and banging acronym.

[@raymundocastillo9933]

Yeah I feel you I'm from dallas too. Techinically thats more on the donk side but yeah most people will call any car with nice rims and some bang to it a slab. I remember a few years ago at the sonic on westmoreland and illinois when a bunch of different fixed up cars would go and cruise around the parking lot. A lot of clean ass lowriders and donks and big ass dually trucks all of em candy, bang, nice rims but the only one I would've really considered a slab was this 96 lac on blades with the belts, pop trunk and, bang and lights. But yeah a lot of people call any fixed up ride a slab. Like paul said though everybody got there own definition of what it means to them.

I was weak when he said that lmao I gotta use that one

[@DannyDonnatelli]

He’s spot on when he said “it’s like a high” for people to try to find parts for their slab / rig. Sure weed is great, but there’s nothing like finally finding those rims you wanted for your lifted truck / slab or a LS1 350 Chevy block to swap out of your old school. I’m only 24 years old, but these kids have no idea what they were missing when I was growing up.

[@lildwell2]

They understand. Instead of the cars you mentioned they're looking for Japan only parts from limited car brands.

Just listening to him break it all down is fascinating. I just bought an 03 Cadillac, I googled the urban definition of SLAB and this video popped up.

[@MrKAHutch]

I'm from Dayton, Ohio and in my biased opinion Dayton's and Vogues still look the best (as far a wires) we call what Texas calls swingers "30's." And we ride Chevys, Buicks, and Oldsmobiles. I respect Texas car culture, though and they get down.

[@deshaunp2047]

I'm from Texas and I agree with you on that one. still got love for the slab game though, no doubt

[@MrKAHutch]

Deshaun P Yeah, it was funny, because my home boy had a 87 SS on some gold ones and everybody in Dallas felt it, but when we went to Houston they were looking at us kind of side wayz (like wtf).

Every other State such as California, Illinois, New York, Florida etc was already ridin' on the 30 spoke wheels(which was originally made by Weld Wheels, Cragars, and then later in mid 2000s Texan Wire Wheels) LONG before the name "Swangaz " was heard and thought of.

[@lee_drifting]

swangas and dayton wire rims are different

[@borla4491]

@@lee_drifting Wrong. He is correct! Other States like Cali, Illinois, Georgia been rockin' on 30s spokes wheels. "Swangaz" is just a Nickname of what the wheels are called in Houston. And that's it! And have you ever heard of the custom car company call "America Custom Coachworks" in Beverly Hills, California? They took/take cars such as the Eldorados and "stretched " them out to make them long and as options, fitted then with the "pokin'" 30s Starwire wheels ! And there's a guy in Texas that has one of those built cars from American Costum Coachworks. Go figure!

[@spukersonmerlosk1661]

They called the cars "slab" cause they sat low to the slab(pavement). "Slow loud and bangin" wasn't around yet till' later on. And for the record there were different places (bsides Texas ) that were already on 30s(Starwires) and vogues since late 70s and through the 80s(and 90s). And Weld Wheels was the original maker of the wheels. On a side note, there's a Federal lawsuit from wheel maker Cragar/Truespoke (the company that bought that Patents from Weld Wheels) of the wheels.

when the import face off car show/ drag race / stereo contests were still coming to Kansas City, there was a guy with a candy Brandywine Honda accord that 3rd coast customs painted....the painter, Eddie that Paul talks about was who painted it and I've gotta say, that was one of the most perfect metallic candy paint jobs I've ever seen to this day. no Tiger stripes, not blotchy, no variations in the metallic flake in the paint. it was as close to flawless as I've seen on a car that was 15 years old when it was painted. Eddie must have a killer body guy to make those panels perfect. it was beautiful.
