Video: Slim Thug on The Daily Show

Slim Thug and jeweler magnate, Ben Baller, both subjected themselves to "The Daily Show's" Wyatt Cenac for a remote which aired this past Wednesday night.

The hip-hop stars seemed alert and self-aware enough to get the joke and the piece on the recession's impact across hip-hop is not, as one could expect, mean-spirited or exploitative. It's mainly hilarious.

Cenac has been one of the show's most connected comics and correspondents and we salute the tough subjects tackled. It's important to shed light on burning problems like a lack of quality, qualified industry video hos, what to do when video hos bring their kids to shoots, tapering expectations of dancers when Slim and his posse go to gentleman's clubs just to get a good meal.
