Trice’s Second Round’s On Me has
garnered some buzz. But unlike his first album, this one didn’t
contain a pop sounding first single.
Cheers’ first single, Got Some Teeth caused
critics and Hip-Hop heads to think he was trying to cash in on the goofy first
single formula Eminem has mastered. And while Cheers
did go on to sell platinum plus numbers, the label didn’t want to duplicate the
move.
“I had another song on my new album that I wanted to put
out like that but the label, we had a meeting, they didn’t really want to go
that route. It was a song that was justifying ‘Got Some Teeth.’ We’ll probably
leak it. It’s called ‘Shady Baby’. The concept is talking about how gangstas
act like they can’t laugh and shit. Mother fuckers had a problem with ‘Got Some
Teeth.’ It was a dope song…It should have been a single, actually. But, it
ended up not being [on the album],” he adds.
On The Game,
Obie remained diplomatic. While in the past, Obie
went to war with his boys, sparking various disses to Benzino
and Murder Inc., this time, O will stay out
of his label mate 50’s beef with Game
and others.
“I ain’t ever had a problem with Game.
Me and Game have a song together ‘Growing up
in the Hood.’ We was cool. I seen him like one time at the sudio. Next thing I
know, he wasn’t around no more. He ain’t never said nothing about me. He ain’t
ever say nothing foul about Eminem. So, I ain’t got no problem with dude,”
he explained.
The album, which drops today (August 15), features appearances
from Eminem, 50 Cent, Nate Dogg and more.
