Obie Trice changes his direction, Pras deads any chance of Fugees reunion

by FULLMETAL

WEDNESDAY MAY 23, 2007

Obie changes his direction

With a new album titled “Bottoms Up” in the works, and changes in his artistic direction, Obie Trice has one goal- making the transition to the mainstream. He’s even employed the help of former Suave House and current Clipse manager Tony Draper.

“I’m in the makings with him about doing some management [for me]...We working some things out. It’s a good look. He knows a lot of people and knows how to move things around. He’s been out here for a minute, so that’s a good look as far as I go. I’m just trying to branch out and get in this game correctly.” he added.

“I don’t really know a lot of artists — I’m in Detroit…It’s not Atlanta, where everybody is everywhere, or L.A. or somewhere like that. I actually think it’s time for me to start branching off and start connecting with cats. Getting my collaboration on and working with some hot producers — unknown and known — and just make them joints that feel good and that are radio. I just want to make that transition.”

Pras deads chance of Fugees reunion

In a recent chat with Sohh.com, Pras of the Legendary Fugees put to bed any notion that they would ever get back together as a collective, saying: “Straight dead.” “You know, unfortunately Miss Hill, she got some things she needs to deal with. I wish her the best, but life goes on.”

Pras has begun to center his ambitions on theatrical work, saying: “You know I’m doing movies hard, man. I’m doing a bunch of different movies,” Pras revealed. “Actually I gotta shoot a movie after I finish my album with my man Josh Lucas, Tim Roth, doing another movie with Warren Beatty. So we’re just making it happen, man.”

+1 for Obie

-1 for The Fugees

They never really needed a reunion, just to do a couple songs together again would be sufficient. Just some surprise performances, like at Dave Chapelle's Block Party.

Sky pussy or Air Kat what ever the fuck I just meant I would be getting the disk for weezy not obie you said them shits was hot and your opinion is supposed to matter Its obvious you don't know shit the first one was very average at the most and the second one was so commercial I kept feelin like the homie tryin to sell me viagra or them sharp ass knives or sumptin The truth is obie would sound all right in colabos in shit but his album ain't worth a damn hommie he need other niggaz to make the song worth hearing at least that's my opinion if you don't agree your entitled too your stupid but its your right to be

Obie's a solid MC. But respect doesn't pay the bills. I'm all for him branching out. Just hope he keeps putting out good music. That's the main thing...and well the money too I guess.
