-Obie hasn't done anything with the unreleased tracks he did with Proof, but he'll perform at an event they're holding in Detroit in April in honor of Proof
-His fave record on Bottom's Up is Spill My Drink
-Em produced a song called Going Nowhere, 2nd song on album. Dre produced the 1st song on album.
-album recorded mostly in Detroit, some in NY
-Doesn't remember a track called No Turning Back, which was supposed to be the second track with Em.
-On whether Mr. Porter is on Bottom's Up: "Denaun not doing anything on the record, not this one"
-D12 not on the album either
-called Bottom's Up b/c of drinking theme, and he's starting over and doing his own thing. Shady Records is still his family.
-"Me and D12 haven't worked in a minute, we talked about some things in Australia a couple weeks ago and that's about it. i'm sure we're going to get it in in the future."
-fave track on each album: Cheers 'Shit Hits the Fan', Second Round's On Me: Snitch, Bottom's Up: Spill My Drink
-thinks SH is dope, it's a good look for Em to pick them up and settle the BS between Royce and Em
-someone told him to have Em help him promote: "it's an independent record, sweetheart. Em's got some things he's saying about the record that's coming out soon but once you're on an independent label you don't get that push like I would over on Interscope."
-On Bad Meets Evil: "it was straight, I liked it, vintage Royce and Marshall"
-BU might not sell as much as previous albums, but nobody's selling much unless they're Em or Kanye or Jay.
-He's not relying on Em to sell his music but "he's the big homie" and they're "friends for life, so of course we're going to make music together." doesn't know whether the 3rd single will be with Em or without him.
-top 5 rappers: Em, Biggie, Tupac, Jay, Andre 3000. "Nas gotta be in there too though. It's always hard".
-Tour story: "I was coming back from Australia and the old lady next to me kept farting." It got to the point where he was screaming "whoever's doing that go to the bathroom!!" The old lady looked at him and said "sorry, I'm sick" and ordered milk. He was like "what the fuck, how is milk going to keep you from farting? Go to the bathroom!"
-He thinks Tech N9ne is dope, and "he's a good dude on top of that"
-The song produced by Dre is "recent enough"
-Obie likes working with underground artists or no names because they're more creative, don't care about money
-"I don't fuck with producing tracks, I leave that shit to producers"
-new mixtape 'watch the chrome' - tape will be out within a week. unreleased stuff on tape. got some stuff with Em that's on the mixtape, about 12 tracks. some we've heard, a lot we haven't. He played quite a few tracks off mixtape, all dope [seriously, if those were just the mixtape then I'm VERY excited for the actual album] and then he spit a verse live from some of the tracks after they ended. He played a very short snippet of one of the tracks with Em from the mixtape. There was kind of a middle eastern type vibe to the beat. Sounded like recent Em voice, but he cut it off after 1 second.

Em came in first.
-shout outs to basically everybody he knows. Old Shady Records crew, Paul, Tracy McNew, 50, Em, D12, etc etc etc.
-He played part of the 2nd single from Bottom's Up - "Spend the Day". It comes out March 6. but the asshole kept yelling "BME, yeah!" during it so I couldn't catch the lyrics.
