OBIE TRICE-Bottoms UP
core member of the Shady/Aftermath machine during its formative years, Obie Trice’s departure from the label in 2008 left the seasoned Detroit emcee’s career in a state of virtual limbo. After a series of delays and more than five years since the release of his sophomore effort, Second Round’s On Me, O. Trice is ready to reaffirm his “no gimmicks” rep on the mic with his new album, Bottoms Up.
Obie doesn’t waste any time getting to the elephant in the room on the album’s self-titled intro as he thanks both Eminem and Paul Rosenberg for their past and present support over Dr. Dre’s sole instrumental offering on BU. Trice’s rhymes verify that there’s no bad blood between he and his former bosses. The Slim Shady-produced “Going Nowhere” follows and right away fans are transported back to the Shady 1.0 days as the D-Town native kicks raps like “Obie bout that change, get rich fast / The Claude Van Damme of the game, kick ass.” Paired with Marshall’s nostalgic production, “Going Nowhere” starts the LP off on all cylinders.
