Detroit emcee Trick Trick took some time recently to speak to MTV News about his album The Villain, but first addressed his friend and frequent collaborator, Eminem.
"Em just picked up some weight, that's it," said Trick, who scored a single with Eminem on his last album, The People vs. "He's nowhere [near] 250 pounds or anything like that. He picked up a little weight. He ain't walkin' around obese or some shit though. He can still run two miles if you want him to and still out-box the majority of them. My man still gets down."
The Detroit emcee segued into Em's contributions to his album. "He's still the coldest that ever did it," Trick said. "The game needs his album. He's rapping on [my album track] Who Want It.'He's like, 'Who want it?' [In the song] he's hanging out and these fucking idiots are always at it. If you want it, come get it. He ain't trying to do nothing but be Em. I'm being me. If you want it, I got ya. He's Em on there. He's going for it. Whoever wants some can come get it. Em produced and rapped on it."
The high-profile collaborations don't stop there for Trick Trick, as Dr. Dre lent his production presence to the album as well. "The [rhymes] I did over Dre's track, I had to come hard," he added. "You can't just rap on a Dr. Dre track, you have to come with it. It has a message, but it's a street message. ... Street cats have to deal with a lot. A lot of people in the music business overlook the streets. You gonna encounter adversity. You can't fall off. You gotta hold on."
The most special song on the album, according to Trick Trick, is called Together Forever, which the Detroit emcee says features the last-ever recorded verse by the late Proof of D12. "He did the verse in the studio [here in Detroit]. We went to a [strip] bar, then went to the casino. The next night, we met at a club called [the] Good Life [Lounge,] and he was trying to get me to drink this Patrón. I was like, 'Nigga no!' Then we went back to the casino. Then the next night was the night he passed away."
Also featured on Together Forever are Kid Rock and Esham. "[It's] like the old Run-DMC song [of the same name]. Proof [sounds] old-school [on the song]. Everybody went old-school on it. Kid Rock is rapping too. Proof and E-Sham didn't used to get along, but they made peace. We're all going eight [bars], eight [bars] eight [bars]."
With such a formidable lineup, Trick Trick knows exactly what role he'll be playing on The Villain. "I ain't knocking nobody on how they do their music," he said. "But the artists, sometime we tend to sway with the time. It's ok to test the water a little bit, but you gotta give them you. I'm back on that gangster shit, cuz. I'm not gonna front. I'm talking about that's straight hardcore, raw Detroit gangsta shit. My album ain't negative, but I got a point of how I do things. People think I'm just wigging out doing this and that, getting in trouble. That ain't the case. I'm breaking down situations; 'if you do this to somebody, this is gonna happen to you.' "

fa sho, i dk what it is, but rappers always step it up when they rap about their state/coast/side, if only half of them could put that into their albums.
