Obie
Trice
Hometown : Detroit
Shady Records
Obie, whose career jumped off in the same Detroit neighborhoods and underground scene that had birthed Eminem, was quick to keep his attention once they met. "I’m basically a real laid back type of dude," says Trice of his first meeting with Em, "But I’m really about my music, so we got along great from the jump." Em was so impressed with Obie’s work ethic, and felt so strongly that he fit the Shady roster, that he rushed production on a Obie freestyle skit which was added to D-12’s double platinum ’01 Debut ’Devil’s Night.’
Working with legendary producers like Timbaland and Dr. Dre, and the Shady one himself, Obie quickly knocked out a slew of tracks. Obie’s offbeat but respectable rhyme style was a perfect fit for Em’s curious, but nonetheless g’d up beat selection. "Once me and Em really got into the studio together," says Trice, "It just became clear that we should do most of the record together."
Obie Trice Biography :
Obie Trice began
rapping at the age of 11 and had a number of underground hits such as "Respect",
"My Club", "Dope Jobs Homeless", and "The Well Known
Asshole" before he signed to Shady Records in 2000.
As an acquaintance
of D12
member Bizarre, Obie was signed after a personal introduction to Eminem
allowed him to impress the Detroit rap legend in-person. The general public
were first introduced to Obie on D12’s Devil’s Night album on a skit. His one-line
opener ("Obie Trice : Real name, no gimmicks" - taken from his song
Rap Name and referring to the lack of a rap pseudonym) on Eminem’s lead single ;
"Without Me", off his well-reviewed The Eminem Show increased public
awareness of his name and slogan. Obie also appeared in the video for the song,
body-slamming a dummy representing Moby. Appearances on DJ Green Lantern’s official
Shady Records Invasion mixtape series, allowed him to further his public recognition.
In 2002, Obie Trice appeared in 8 Mile as one of the rappers in the Chin Tiki
parking lot scene.
A short while before the first Invasion mixtape was released, he became involved in the Eminem-Benzino beef after being called out by Benzino with the line "Obie Trice/You’s a buster" in a diss track directed at Eminem and Shady Records. In response to Benzino, Obie released the track "Welcome to Detroit City" (a track over the beat from Cam’ron’s song Welcome to New York City) on the first Invasion mixtape. He also joined his label-mates in the highly publicised Ja Rule-50 Cent beef but never received a direct response from Ja Rule.
His debut album
Cheers was released on September 23, 2003 with its first single "Got Some
Teeth" being well received on radio in a number of countries. He also released
the songs "Don’t Come Down" and "The Set Up". The album
consists of 17 tracks with production from Eminem, Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Mike
Elizondo, Emile, Fredwreck and Denaun Porter. Artists featuring on Cheers include
Busta
Rhymes, Eminem, Dr.
Dre, Nate
Dogg and D12 among others. The album was eventually certified platinum
by the RIAA.
As of 2005 he has begun work on his second album, entitled 2nd Rounds On Me, which was expected later that year. Never making the 2005 calendar mark, Obie Trice set sights on releasing it in 2006. It features a lineup chiefly comprised of local Detroit rappers and a decreased presence from Eminem and other Shady/Aftermath artists.
On December 31, 2005, Trice was shot twice while driving on an expressway in Detroit, MI. Trice was able to drive off the express way, where his girlfriend waved down police. He was taken to Providence hospital and released later that day.

Cheers is one of my favorite albums. Obie is incredibly lyrical, and its a shame that he seems to get pushed aside from Shady/Aftermath’s bigger selling artists. Second Rounds On Me wasnt as big of a banger as Cheers, but hes still got some classic flows on there. a bit dissapointed that he let 50 on the album, but hes got a loyalty to Em, who produced most of the records on the album. no doubt Obie is one of the most lyrical on the Shady/Aftermath staff.

Dont h8 on Ja, he aint a Snitch, and in Obies new song Snitch he must be dissin 50, cos dats da biggest snitch i’ve eva seen, i dont h8 obie, but if u side with a snitch then we niggaz consider u a snitch. Muthafuckas like 50 snitch on Irv and Chris, get restraining orders even want to testify against them (it neva happened cos da judge didnt need 50’s evidence) dats how big a snitch 50 is. So Ja 4 life, he’s comin back wit a bang dis year, and like Camron has said its gonna be da killer season.

Fuck all u G unit niggaz, Ja Rule is gangsta, whateva da fuck his size is at least he’s not a snitch, damn 50 got a restraining order against ja and murder inc and irv proved it. Now if Obie wantz to chill wit a snitch datz fine by me, but he aint shit witout em, he jus sux up to em, dat nigga aint shit witout em, i bet if obie was dropped from aftermath no 1 would know dat nigga even existed. Ja’s style is blazed out man, he’s of da wall and off da hook, listen to "rain on me remix" wit ja, fatal hussein, charlie baltimore and ashanti, nd u niggaz will se wat i’m talkin about, ja respects u niggaz nd u h8ers. 50 dont care, em dont care, obie dont care and gunit sure as hell dont care. They all up in tysons mansion putin out shit like window shopper. The only guy i truly respect in dat click is Nate Dogg. He’s da 1. Nd o ya ask urself whoz hotter Ashanti or Oliver.. Peace nd stop h8in on Ja, nd o ya jus listen to passion by Ja
