7 Mile is like an Ave. Back in the days it was poppin' in the summer time.
At the time I wasn't really familiar with Caucasians and he got me up out of that 'cause they regular people just like everybody else.
Beef is beef, you know. Beef comes, so Beef is real.
But since I am in the music industry, I don't want anyone to download music, not on September 9th.
But working with Dre, I grew up with his music, so I'm still like more a fan.
Detroit is right now a new Mecca for Hip Hop.
Downloading songs is not good.
Eminem and Dr. Dre have reinvented to music industry, being apart of that is a blessing.
Eminem is more like a friend. And I'm also a fan on Eminem.
I don't actually sit down and write, but I just have a lot of different ideas about films and making movies.
I don't even know Royce. I've seen him a couple times, but I don't really know Royce like that. Good emcee, dope emcee.
I don't want to be an actor or nothing but if I have to, I'll act if it's the right thing.
I get the music, I get the beats. And I go to the studios and write the lyrics.
I got a, you know, I stay in a little suburb, nice little like uh condo a little crib, know what Im saying? Got a couple dollars now.
I just do what I'm here for and that's to make that music.
I just don't want to be rapping forever. I love it, but sometimes you got goals for yourself.
I think it need realness, you should speak on thing that you know about, that you being from, that you experienced or that you been around, you know. I think you need a good hook, good beats and good lyrics.
I want to get off with the screenwriting.
I was about 11 when my mother brought me this karaoke machine and I was really into it back then, but about 4 or 5 years ago is when I started printing up my own music, going to the studio and doing my own thing.
I would love to get with somebody who knows the fundamentals of making the movie, then get my money up and start getting into that.
I would say old school cats like Redman and Wu-tang. My style is my style, those are just cats that I liked.
I'm just going to do me; I'm not trying to do the Eminem thing, the D12 thing or the 50 thing.
I'm the 1st black platinum artist in Detroit, solo artist in Detroit.
I'm working on my new album right now. Hopefully to get that out at the top of 2005, January 2005.
It's like a bag full of goodies, and I'm like the twisty tie that you tie that ties up the goodies and hands it to the person.
Let's say I was a plumber, or I worked at a factory, I would download music, you feel what I'm saying?
Rap has changed my way of life cuz I'm not, you know I don't live in the hood no more, you know what Im saying?
The Anger Management Tour was another beautiful thing. I loved that tour.
They came home, I had dinner with Paul Rosenberg (Manager and President of Shady Records) and we just hooked up with Em and it was smiles and handshakes from then on.
Well, Eminem, you know, I know him longer. Ive been signed to his label since 2001 and he's a good friend.
When I'm not in the hip hop scene? I'm usually at home, I'm with my crew, I'm with my daughter, I'm relaxing man.
Where's Eminem, when is Em coming out, Em this, Em that, 50 this, 50 that... What about Obie?
Working with 50 Cent was great, you know what Im saying? It was just great to work with 50 Cent.
Yeah I grew up on the Westside of Detroit.
You got NYC, the Westcoast, Down South is becoming a Mecca, so it's time for Detroit to get this shine on, you know I mean?
You know, I'm the 1st black solo MC from Detroit. I didn't do the 50 Cent sales but hey... I got a long career, I'm still young and I'm trying to bring really good music.
Obie Trice along with his label have a beef with Ja Rule and Murder Ink.
Obie Trice has released a second studio album called "2nd Rounds on Me" on August 15th.
