"Cheers" - Obie Trice

[Murrow]

Obie Trice
Cheers
Shady/Interscope Records
May 2003

The video for his first single, "Rap Name" has just been shot.

Production on the album will prolly be handled by Eminem, the Bass Brothers, Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Rockwilder and Kuniva aka Denaun.

I'm undecided if i like him or not.

[closetothalimit]

i liked him when i first heard him - but he got  really boring its amazing how fast her became played out for me

this is one album ill be avoiding

[Pillow]

Obie is coo, and its nice to see a name up here other then snoop dre and eminem

[Now_Im_Not_Banned]

He's aiight...

[Doggystylin]

i hope this never comes out

[Murrow]

He's got talent...after hearing him destroy Benzino a few times.

[asiatic8]

i saw the rap name video the other day...nigga gots skills............i think he'll be nice

[Instigator]

Obie's decent, but frankly I'm not anticipating this album much. I predict this album will be like the D12 album, tedious and with little replay value. Just my thoughts...

[Dj Eskimo]

his got sum nice lyrics but he gets boring fasst

[LyRiCaL_G]

yeah his pretty dope, i havent heard all these tracks y'all talkin about but i heard his verse on 'love me' and it was pretty dope

Obie Trice's long-awaited debut will follow soon after (50 Cent).

"Obie is in the studio. His album is half-done," Eminem said on the set of 50 Cent's new video, "In Da Club." "We are hoping for spring [for Trice's release] and D12 in the fall. And we've already got songs for that album. We sneak [recording D12] songs in between 50's album. And Obie's album ... expect the same quality as 50's album, from my album, from Dre's album. It's the same type of producers, it's the same type of perfectionists in the studio with every artist.

"We won't put it out unless it's perfect," he continued, pointing toward his mentor, Dr. Dre, who appears in 50's clip along with Eminem. "I learned that from this man right here."

[BIG.DADDY]

He's got two nice joints on the DJ Green Lantern mix tape. I like the way he flows.  I think his debut will do O.K. I could see it going gold if its not heavily bootleged.

[LyRiCaL_G]

THERES ONE THING THATS SAVING THIS ALBUM...............PRODUCTION

NO DOUBT THE CATS GOT SKILLS BUT HE AINT SUITED TO DOPE BEATS BY DRE AND EMINEM, HIS A UNDERGROUND KAT, HE WONT BE ABLE TO MIX IT WITH DRE AND EMINEM........BUT HE MAY PROVE US ALL RONG

ALER-G AND NAZ-T GOT BETTA FLOWS AND LRYICS THAN THIS CAT

PEACE

According to sources within his camp, Slim laid a good amount of the soundscapes for Obie Trice's spring debut and will soon be handing over the reins to Dr. Dre and Timbaland as that project, which also features Rockwilder beats, closes out.

Once production on Obie's LP is completed, Em will jump headfirst into D12's sophomore effort, due this summer. The plan is for Slim Shady to produce most of the tracks and put in time in the vocal booth as well.

Its a wrap for the rest of the labels.....
