Obie Trice
The Anger Management Tour was another beautiful thing. I loved that tour.Collection: Anger
Well, Eminem, you know, I know him longer. Ive been signed to his label since 2001 and he's a good friend.
But working with Dre, I grew up with his music, so I'm still like more a fan.
Eminem is more like a friend. And I'm also a fan on Eminem.
I'm the 1st black platinum artist in Detroit, solo artist in Detroit.
You know, I'm the 1st black solo MC from Detroit. I didn't do the 50 Cent sales but hey... I got a long career, I'm still young and I'm trying to bring really good music.
I think it need realness, you should speak on thing that you know about, that you being from, that you experienced or that you been around, you know. I think you need a good hook, good beats and good lyrics.
I get the music, I get the beats. And I go to the studios and write the lyrics.
I'm working on my new album right now. Hopefully to get that out at the top of 2005, January 2005.
Where's Eminem, when is Em coming out, Em this, Em that, 50 this, 50 that... What about Obie?
Detroit is right now a new Mecca for Hip Hop.
Beef is beef, you know. Beef comes, so Beef is real.
I was about 11 when my mother brought me this karaoke machine and I was really into it back then, but about 4 or 5 years ago is when I started printing up my own music, going to the studio and doing my own thing.
Yeah I grew up on the Westside of Detroit.
7 Mile is like an Ave. Back in the days it was poppin' in the summer time.
I just do what I'm here for and that's to make that music.
I'm just going to do me; I'm not trying to do the Eminem thing, the D12 thing or the 50 thing.
I would say old school cats like Redman and Wu-tang. My style is my style, those are just cats that I liked.
I just don't want to be rapping forever. I love it, but sometimes you got goals for yourself.
I want to get off with the screenwriting.
I don't want to be an actor or nothing but if I have to, I'll act if it's the right thing.
I don't actually sit down and write, but I just have a lot of different ideas about films and making movies.
Working with 50 Cent was great, you know what Im saying? It was just great to work with 50 Cent.
Downloading songs is not good.
Let's say I was a plumber, or I worked at a factory, I would download music, you feel what I'm saying?
But since I am in the music industry, I don't want anyone to download music, not on September 9th.
I'm a sociable person. I want people to know where the f - I came from.Collection: People
At the time I wasn’t really familiar with Caucasians and he got me up out of that ’cause they regular people just like everybody else.Collection: People
I think I learned the most from Eminem because I spent the most time with him in the studio. Going to L.A. with Dre was a learning experience, just seeing how the dude works and being up-close and personal with a dude whose music I appreciated growing up.Collection: Growing Up
My mother, she smiles when I come around now. My daughter's eatin' decent meals and she's in private school. She's 4 years old. She started school. It's a beautiful thing.Collection: Beautiful
