Obie Trice Says 50 Cent Stunted His Career Growth

A lot of new Hip Hop listeners might not know who Obie Trice is. But back in 2002/2003, when 50 Cent was just popping, he was right there with 50 on the Shady Records roaster. As a matter of fact, they were blowing up at about the same time, but I guess all the planets were aligned in 50's favor at the time, which kind of over-showed his career. I remember the song (Love Me) he, 50 Cent and Eminem had together on the 8 Mile soundtrack album back in 2002; people used to argue on who got the best verse out of the three of them. But once 'Get Rich  or Die Tryin' came out and it was a wrap; all the attention was on 50.



Obie did a recent interview (about two weeks ago) on Hot 97 Radio, with Ebro and Peter Rosenberg, and this is what he had to say about 50 Cent stunting his growth while at Shady Records.

Fat Joe Speaks on Remy Ma's Return to Hip Hop

Remy Ma just got released from prison last weekend, and she is enjoying all the attention right now. After being away for six years, she came out and and immediately jumped on the remix of DJ Khaled's They Don't Love You No More. She more or less killed that beat, and is currently working on some new material. Although she and her former boss, Terror Squad C.E.O, Fat Joe had issues before she went in, they were able to squash the beef before she got out of prison a few days ago. In a recent interview with XXL, Joey Crack spoke on Remy's return to the music industry.





"Remy Martin has no real challenge. Remy Martin is loved. Remy Martin is, pound for pound, top one or two most lyrical female rappers in the world. [There’s] a lot of females out there. Not just rapping, but I'm just saying in general. A lot of female fans. She just gotta make hits. At the end of the day, [that’s] what my concern is. And she’s been taught by the hitmakers of the world. She’s gonna be alright. I have no concerns. 34 means nothing. You look, most rappers who are hot today are 34. She looks the same. She’s good." 



True. I didn't know what to think about her till I heard her on DJ Khaled's They Don't Love You No More; she has gotten better with time. How do you do that after being locked up for six years? She really surprised me. I wish her all the best. With the right ingredients, the right producers and hitmakers by her side, she will have a great second run in the rap game. 

Hit Boy Says He Wants To Be On Jay Z's Level One Day

Hit Boy is a producer/rapper, who has a deal with Interscope Records. The 26 year old has produced hit songs including Niggas In Paris (Jay Z and Kanye West), Clique (Big Sean, Jay Z, and Kanye West), and 1 Train for A$AP Rocky. He is an associate of Kanye West and the whole G.O.O.D Music clique, and also good friend's with Jay Z. In a recent 'Life+Times' interview, he spoke on wanting to attain the level of success Jay Z currently enjoys.

"I'm very aware of the things I’ve accomplished, and I’m very appreciative, but I'm so far away from where I want to be," Hit-Boy said in a recent interview with Life+Times. "I get to have dinners and kick it with people like Jay Z and stuff like that. I want to be on his level one day, and I feel like I for sure can. I’m very far away from that right now. I’ve just gotta keep working to get to that point. I see myself being at the caliber one day, so I’m not stopping until I get there." 

Beanie Sigel Leting off The Negative Energy

Beanie Sigel used to be like Jay's right hand man, along side memphis bleek back in the Roc Days...in the late 90s and early 00s. But things changed and went ugly when there was a split in the Roc-a-fella dynasty. Jay went with Kanye west, and  the rest were just like lost puppies. Beanie Sigel took it personal. He started poking fun kanye's dressing around the mid 00s. Then started an all out attack at his former boss and friend, Jay-Z in 2009. Thanks to 50 Cent who was also going at Jay-Z at the time , he got a lot of airplay and support. But all the diss tracks amounted to nothing as jay didn't respond to them.


It might appear that Negative energy is working for you at first, but it always comes right back. I think Beanie has understood that now, and he is looking to give up all that baggage, and blend in. Based on a recent interview with him, it seems he is ready to embarrass some positive energy.



Check out what he said about Drake below-

"You can't front on him. Drake's gonna be around for a long time. His talent is going to outrun whatever you say about him," Sigel said in an interview. "His lane is so crazy. I got Drake's album. I bought his album like three times. Like, he got everything. Like, it's everything on there you can rock to. You can rock to everything -- he go R&B, he go hip-hop, he go lyrics." (Talk of the Town)





This is the same thing i feel about Drake's album, but it is surprising to here Beanie Sigel say that. Sigel has always been the gnagsta image portraying type of rapper. I guess he knows that can only take you so far in life. And when you are no longer in your 20s, you know you got to think different.


Below is what he said bout the Jay-Z beef-

"It ain't really no situation right now," Sigel said in an interview. "At the end of the day, Jay, that's my brother and will forever be my brother. It's just, we had a little misunderstanding, you know, situation. I couldn't get to him so I had to, via, you know, emcee it. That was it. It's over. [Have we spoke?] No, not yet. But it's like that finish line Drake said, 'I can't wait to run into you.' ... I don't really like talking over devices and things like that. I'm a face-to-face person. ... If Jay wouldn't have put me on, then you might not be hearing Meek Mill. So you gotta understand certain situations lead to certain things." (Talk of the Town)


I think this is a more matured man talking. This is what he needs for real growth.
