Shady Records Releases Statement On Obie's Departure

Postby IceAxe » Jul 1st, '08, 04:27

Following the heavy circulation of Obie Trice's new single "The Giant" signaling the Detroit rapper's departure from his situation with Shady Records and it's parent company, Interscope, the brass at Shady issued a statement Monday (Jun 30) reaffirming its support of Trice's decision.

"Shady Records has agreed to allow Obie Trice to pursue his craft in a different forum free from the constraints of the current major label model," Eminem's long time partner and manager Paul Rosenberg told AllHipHop.com.

Sources on the web have erroneously reported that the new explanatory track released to the web on Sunday (Jun 29) included lyrics meant as a diss to his former label and Eminem, who added Trice to the label's roster in 2000.

At issue was the song's opening verse, on which Trice raps "Guess it was meant / for me to branch off from my Caucasian friend" and "Nope, no more 2nd place to Eminem / question if I was 2nd is the question to many men."

"Eminem will continue to support and work with Obie on many levels of his career," Rosenberg stated frankly. "He remains a close friend and member of the Shady family."

During his time as a Shady/Interscope artist, Obie Trice's two albums which were well received critically, established the artist as Eminem's heir apparent.

The first, 2003's Cheers, sold over 500,000 copies worldwide, while its follow-up Second Round's On Me found slightly less commercial support.

if you think about it, its better that Obie does his thing w/out a major label for a while bcuz going independent means he'll be making alot of cash for himself and he wont have to worry about his albums being put on the hold, yeah it might suck that Obie wont be around but he has to do what he has to do to survive

At first I was disappointed when I heard the news, but now I feel like, this is probably good for Obie. It helps him develop himself I think, and not just be stuck with the same ol' rappers around him. I wanna hear some new Obie Trice! :8)

co-sign

i dont like most of the newer shady records artists tho, i wonder how cashis and creekwater got their deals, cashis is lyrically far below the average and bobby creekwater seems like any other average rapper .. nothing special at all
but ill wait for their albums, maybe one of them will surprise me :smoking:


I agree, except I doubt the chances of the cd surprising me will happen since the chances of me getting them are slim to none. I would have to be hearing some rave ass reviews to even download them. Cashis sounds horrible to me, so creekwater is the only one with a little hope. Em is back on drugs! Look at the people he signed on.
