Houston rapper Slim Thug recently made an appearance on CNN, speaking to Don Lemon about what the word "thug" means to him. The conversation was sparked after a video of a cursing toddler went viral, and coined the term "thug cycle," referring to the child's parents and grandparents carrying on the "thug" life to the toddler. 

When asked about his own definition of "thug," Silm Thug explained that he believes it's someone who made it from "nothing to something," but is still looked at as a menace. Check out the video in the above slide to hear what else he had to say.
