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.

Obie Trice Says He Would Love To Work With Nas

Former Shady Records artist, Obie Trice says one person he would love to work with right now is Nas. Obie isn't as hot as he was back in the early 00s, but he is still dropping albums. He dropped his 3rd album (Bottoms Up) April of this year, and is currently working on his 4th album (The Hangover), which is due in 2013.

Check out words from Obie's mouth below-

"Probably, Just Blaze. You know I never did anything with him," Obie told SOHH. "I would love to able to do some music with Just. There's actually a few cats. Kanye [West and] Swizz [Beatz], but probably Just at this moment. [I would love to record with] Nas, probably. We're trying to reach out to Nas now actually. A few people know him that I know, so we're trying to see if we can do something with him. That's one dude I've never been on the record with. I would really appreciate that if I could do a record with Nas at this moment." (SOHH)
