Obie Trice can finally say he put out his album since he received minimal help from Eminem on the creative side. He brags you know, I kind of put the album together myself, too. So, you know, I brought it to Eminems attention later on and he just mixed and mastered the album. You know, I took some of his, you know, a lot of his beats but kinda did it on my own. I was up underneath him like I was on Cheers". The rapper added: You want to always stay busy, stay working, you know what Im sayin? Not just when youre in the studio with Eminem. You know hes already established. You want to really just want to continue to stay on the grind and stay doing what you got to do. And show him like, Hey damn, you know, I dont really have to guide Obie. He can do his own thing and get it done". So how did he do with no guidance?
Not bad and not good. He got carried away and the album was too long. It's obvious on which instances Obie let others guide him (Interscope suits). I dont see Obie as a gangsta or thug so when the tracks come on of that nature, they reverberate as silly. I was told he cooled the violence out of his music when he took a slug in the cranium on the highway in a random act of violence and the bullet remains lodged in his brain. The irony is that Eminem is behind the boards for only about half of this album because his best friend Proof was killed in senseless violence. Somehow people believe that violent lyrics have nothing to do with that. It's amazing to hear this parroted. Truth is that Ems productions have become agonizingly predictable. Just as Detroit casts around for ideas to revitalize itself, Trice seems to be searching for something to transform him into a genuine star, if the bullet to the head was an inspiration. Unfortunately Obies mostly intent on keepin it hood, making unlikely death threats and getting some solid punch-lines out. In other words, the Second Round isnt much different from the first.
