Iconic elbow wheels, high-gloss candy paint, and over-the-top stereo systems set these cars apart in the world of custom automobiles. Slabs are perhaps most well-known for being a major part of the city's hip-hop culture.

Read More »Langston: A slab is typically an older model, large-bodied, American sedan — Cadillac, Lincoln, Oldsmobile, etc. And it's embellished or outfitted with various types of body additions, the first and most important one being the rims called "swangas" or "elbows." Those are those cone-like rims that poke out pretty far. On the trunk, you have what's called a "fifth wheel," which is a rim that's cut in half and enclosed in a fiberglass casing. Also explosive stereo systems that rattle or shake the car and shake the surroundings when listening to rap music. And within the trunk, you often have what's called 'trunk displays,' which are neon or sometimes glass signs that convey particular messages to their communities. Narrator: With such a distinguished appearance, overt style, and potential for expression, it's no wonder Houston's wide collection of hip-hop artists have embraced slab culture. Langston: I would say slabs are the visual element of Houston hip-hop culture. It's like graffiti or fashion in other scenes. Slabs are a form of material culture that illuminate the values, attitudes, and ideas of the local hip-hop communities. I think it's the 'swangas' that separate slabs from other custom car cultures. That's why they're talked about so much. But beyond that I would say it's the larger hip-hop community, the Houston hip-hop community that makes slabs special. Houston hip-hop is marked by a slow sound. It's psychedelic music. It's atmospheric music. And we see all of those characteristics in slab culture. Slabs are meant to be driven really, really slow. Slab drivers commonly weave in and out of lanes when driving their cars. So a slab isn't just a type of car. It's an entire experience, and it's an entire culture, so it's certainly special.
A draw may have real odds of around 9/4; however, the lack of bets can push the odds up to 5/2 or even close to 3/1.
