Following the release of a song called "The Giant," rumors began to swirl that Detroit rapper Obie Trice had been dropped from his label of eight years, Shady Records. Lyrics like "Nope, no more second place to Eminem / question if I was second is the question to many men," further encouraged this logic. Shady Records issued a statement today, confirming Obie's drop from the label. Paul Rosenberg, Eminem's manager and long time friend, said "Shady Records has agreed to allow Obie Trice to pursue his craft in a different form free from the constraints of the current major label model." A fan of Eminem & Obie collaborations? No worries, as Paul Rosenberg also confirmed that Trice will continue to work with Mr. Slim Shady himself, and that he still is a close friend of both Eminem and the record label.

dats wats good
At least they will still collaborate in the future.
^^^ nigga u so lame. if it bores u then why bore the rest of us wit a lame ass comment like that? scrub ass nigga...
thats wasup doe bout obie, i was suprised then a motha fucka when i herd he got dropped, i always thought he was the most loyal rapper to a label that wasnt his own [i.e. em--> shady recs, jay--> roc, wayne--> young money, fif--> gunit]...anyways, after readin this it seems like it was more like a mutual cut then the record label droppin himm....
When we getting that Obie Trice with Red Cafe album? That this is gonna be hot. I hear its tentatively titled "We Sound The Same". Shit is gonna be fire!
yo i watchd the gunit concert last night. it was the shit and free. thanks 50!!
DATS GOOD LETTIN OBIE BE OBIE.
that's a shame.
but i'll think obie will find someone to make good music with,
Peace from Denmark
nice to fuckin hear..i hope this shit isnt just a bullshit cover up story..damn...
i mean ive liked obie since i first started listening to em, because theyve been rollin together since day one
obie and em were nice together but i guess no matter what, jealousy over rules everything and even obie wanted to get some shine on his own terms..
I like this move. Obie should be 10X as hot as he is. Dude outspits 95% of the shit out there.
That’s what’s really good, sounds like no milk was spilt, sonn wanted out Em didn’t do him like Dirty like Diddy would, cuz above all, Obie is his boy. It’s rare to see friendship & loyalty in this business now days.
But as far as Obie doing him, shit will be a struggle, imagine all the free beats he got from Em that he may have to pay for now,…
That's good that Friendship outweighs money and business all day b/c they could be lookin' like 50 & Buck right now.
co-sign
thats good news. someone departin from a lable without any bad blood.
WAT THE FUCK IS THIS!!!!!!!!!! dam man obie i dog on the mic didnt expect this well at least he aint gotta worry about being blackballed but dam man shady lost a good one
aight,they explained the obie trice departure, now they need 2 explain when the fuck king mathers gon drop!!!
good shit, he just wants to get his music out, this how buck should of did it, just talked it over like a man
Obie a beast lyrically now let see if he can find good promotion, in this game thats the key. You can be super nice and not shine promotion is real. And that Obie track Cry Now is fire go peep dat.
obviously you do, you clicked on the article!!
wen i first heard bout this i thought obie was gonna be the young buck or game of shady records...but its good he still cool wit eminem and the label
RIP obie you will be missed, your lumbar support astounded me and i hope you dont get any more aches or pains.
maybe that shot 2 the head messed sumthin up.
maybe that shot 2 the head messed sumthin up.
maybe that shot 2 the head messed sumthin up.
maybe that shot 2 the head messed sumthin up.
^my bad yall, computer slow as fuck. u do remember obie takin a shot 2 the dome tho.
glad to hear he's still cool with eminem
they maid some good tracks together
ye i uffckz with obie
he doing his thing man
third rounds on the guy next to me coming soon!!!!!!!
obie nice man... do yo thing
obie good but his albums dont display his talent...he usually does his best bars on guest features
c thats how ni66as should b. fuck all this beef shit. they need to calm the fuck down and handle shit like grown fuckin men. props to Obie, Shady, and the Shady Family for handlin buisness rite.
ok ok now this is more like it, and why I waited to respond on this,...do yo thang
DEEE-TROIT
i knew obie wasnt gettin on dat unloyal j-hood shit. im glad they still cool but sad bout him gettin dropped. he still spit hot fiya
obie is nice...not as nice as eminem...but still tha 2nd best rapper too come out of detroit
^^^^^^^^^^^Please learn somthing about detroit hip hop. Slum Villiage, J-Dilla, Big Proof, Phat Cat, i like obie, but he will never be better then Proof
50 and the rest of g-unit need to take a lesson from slim and learn how to sit down and talk shit over like men and not put each others buiness in the streets. This is real hood shit to me not all that bitchin back and forth going on between the unit, buck and game.
i like obie trice but between me and u he aint gonna blow up like a superstar he's only going to be average maybe more money but thats about it
Everything we do is for a green piece of paper!!!
Damn man thats bullshit. at least their is no bad blood. seems like obie just want his own. But if that was me shiiiit a nigga would not have mind being second best next to slim. There is alot of talent at that record label.

at least they are still cool
and Shady drop another album!
8 yrs that a long ass time but his music really wasnt making shady and dre no money so fuck they had to let that nigga go
as long as he is still cool with em and shady then hopefully it will be the same music he'll just put it out faster
Obie trice is an ok rapper but I think he needs em more then em needs him. Eminem is already an establisehd and respected rapper the last thing I remember from obie was got some teeth...
ist about tie obie needs to do his own thing and start sellin some albums for once.
and dont go namin no tired album that just barely went platinum
