Obie Trice - Bottoms Up (2012)

[Eladio wutanghiddenmember]

Bottoms Up is the upcoming third studio album by American rapper Obie Trice. The album was originally to be released under Shady Records and Interscope Records with plans to release during the summer of 2008, but in June 2008 Trice departed from the label. In October 2009, the album was confirmed to be released under Trice's own label, Black Market Ent. on. Trice tweeted that the album was slated for October 25, 2011, but was pushed back to February 28, 2012.

The title of the album, Bottoms Up, was chosen as Obie Trice was keen to keep the alcohol related theme for his album titles.[2] He had begun working on the album whilst in the process of releasing his second album, Second Round's on Me.[3] As of 21 May 2007, Obie Trice told MTV that he was at the time "a few songs deep", and had by that point collaborated with just Daz Dillinger. He also stated that he'd like to get work done with Eminem, 50 Cent, Slaughterhouse, Young Buck, Akon, Cashis, Jazze Pha, and Devin the Dude. On the topic of collaborating, Obie Trice also explained to MTV,
“ 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.[4] ”


But in July, XXL displayed in an Obie Trice interview that Obie said he would not to compromise his integrity. He also said that he felt he was near to being finished, and has worked with producers such as South Carolina's Propane the Great (who did his single “Detroit Summer”), Detroit's Square Biz, and Six - all of which he stated as being "unknown producers, but the shit is fire."[5]

Obie had also mentioned in another interview that he does have beats from Dr. Dre, which he received during Second Round's on Me, but decided to keep them for Bottoms Up.[6] He has also stated at various times that he'd like to release the album in the summer of 2008,[5][7] and further elaborated on this thought by saying,
“ I would like to have a summertime album because both of my [previous] albums were in the winter [or] fall. I think these tracks I’m picking are more fun, summer type of joints. I [don’t] want to wait so long to put out an album. It took three years to put out Second Round’s on Me [after] Cheers. I think that’s too long.[5] ”


In June 2008, Obie Trice departed from Shady Records. It is not clear what effect this would have on the album, if any.[8]

In September 2008 in an interview with Detroit's FM98 WJLB, Obie said he expected the album would be released in February 2009, under his new label Black Market Ent.[9]

Guest appearances may include Eminem, Bun B and Adrian Rezza. Production will be provided by Dr. Dre, The Rezza Brothers, Illfonics, Statik Selektah and NoSpeakerz.

On May 4, 2010 Obie Trice confirmed Eminem is on the album and he still remains friends with him.[10] In an interview with XXL on August 24, 2011, Trice elaborated on Eminem's contributions on the album, revealing that he would appear on two songs, one of which is called "No Turning Back", the other called 'Friends With Enemies'.

Obie Trice Recalls Issues With Interscope, "Bodying" Eminem On Collaborations

Obie Trice gives some insight as to why he left Shady Records, and why he feels he's bested Eminem many times.

As the release of his third solo album, Bottoms Up, drew nearer, Obie Trice began hinting at the reasons behind his departure from Shady Records.

In a recent interview with GlobalGrind.com, the Detroit native spoke a bit more candidly on the matter.

"It was just issues with me," explained Obie, neglecting to point fingers. "I missed the Big Boy show out there in LA. And Jimmy [Iovine] had a real problem with that, but it wasn’t just that, though. I was younger, so things were happening that were different."

Obie also recalled when his Akon-assisted single "Snitch" was unable to gain traction, at least in part due to outside circumstances. "I had the Akon single out. MTV wouldn’t play the record because they had the Snitch campaign going on, and things of that sort. And BET wouldn’t play the record because Eminem missed the BET Awards three years in a row. Just a lot of backlash we caught that didn’t have anything to do with us, and we thought things should change about that, that they should have worked the record even harder. There were just a lot of things going on, But shout out to Jimmy Iovine: he gave me an opportunity."

Additionally, Trice, who maintains a working and personal relationship with Eminem, wasn't shy to express his belief that he bested his mentor on numerous occasions. "I body him all the time! I feel like every song we did I bodied him. That's how I feel! That's how I go into records."

Record Report

Obie Trice

Bottoms Up

Production: Eminem, Dr. Dre, Statik Selektah, Others

Mics:

A 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.

Further along, the album’s first single, “Battle Cry,” proves to be a viable choice to appease the commercial ambition evident in some of the album’s design. Featured vocalist Adrian Reeza sounds as if he’s channeling the late Freddie Mercury in between Obie’s verses in which the Motor City rapper addresses the asterisk some put next to his name regarding his unavoidable association to Marshall Mathers. “Spend A Day,” the album’s second single, is an even more convincing sales pitch for radio as Obie kicks game to a female he feels will want to stick around for good if she just agrees to live the Trice life for a day. Drey Skonie’s engaging hook and the song’s smooth vibe provide the right formula to obtain the desired radio spins.

Unfortunately, there are a handful of songs on BU that add little or perhaps even take away from the substantial amount of quality cuts that Obie has to offer. The album’s low points include “Petty” where Trice gets a little too hooked on the price tag of all things Gucci and “Spill My Drink” where amidst other personal issues, his eagerness to solidify himself without the Shady umbrella starts to get repetitive. It’s less the fact that these tracks, along with “BME Up” and “My Time,” aren’t heavy on substance and more that they lack much in the way of diversity on an album that has a bit of a lengthy tracklist. Thus, the project could afford to lose at least a few of the aforementioned numbers.

Later cuts like “Ups And Downs,” which sees Trice moving weight and expressing an acquired distrust of A&Rs’ ears, along with the album’s underdog anthem, “Lebron On,” thankfully fall into the category of BU’s more memorable joints. The clear standout however, is the lyrically and humorously potent “Richard.” Obie reunites with Eminem on the track and the two deliver some undeniably witty bars over the catchy reggae-fused track by Statik Selektah; who employs a nice Southern kick under his Caribbean canvas. Eminem’s elastic flow only enhances the already lively production over which he taunts “Just call me Richard, cause I’m a dick / It’s also Richard cause I feel like you should pry your mouth up off of it.” Needless to say, the request makes for a far more clever and amusing one than Weezy’s on Tha Carter 4 (“Blunt Blowin”).

Even with all the frustration that Obie experienced during and after his tenure at Shady Records, Bottoms Up isn’t a toast to his angst, but more a statement about his unwillingness to let others close his tab for him. And as many alcohol references as there may be in Trice’s albums, it’s evident that the Detroit-bred emcee still raps with the pedigree he became known for back in his days as a Shady solider. In other words, the message in the bottle is still one we think you can respect. Real rap, still no gimmicks.
