Slim of 112 On Drake, Amber & Kim

Slim was one of the most recognized voices in R&B as a member of vocal group 112. The singer was asked to give his take on the recent rise of artists like Drake and 'celebutantes' like Amber Rose and Kim Kardashian. Despite the criticism of many of these personalities, Slim says people should be more compassionate and understanding towards artists and celebrities attaining their goals.
"When you have people like an Amber Rose and Kim Kardashian or whatever, I look at it like this; in this day and age, you have to grow with what's going on," Slim told SOHH. "You have people out there that are trying to touch every aspect of entertainment there is. For that right there, I can't knock them. At the end of the day, they're touching their dream. I look at it like, the sky is the limit. Go for it. You have people that probably told Drake, 'No, you can't sing 'and' rap.' I followed him through his mixtapes -- I find it very amazing that somebody from Toronto can come down and really embrace the Texas-feel of music and do a really good job at it. He mixed the style of where he's from and what he's going through, and really took it to a whole 'nother field. I can't knock it. As long as you believe in what you're doing, then the sky is the limit." .
