Trick Trick Recruits Eminem, Dr. Dre for Sophomore LP

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  35 Comments

Detroit native Trick Trick is preparing for the release of his upcoming sophomore solo LP, The Villain, which features a special guest appearance by his friend and Eminem. Trick recently sat down with MTV News to discuss the project and dispel rumors that Em’s weight had ballooned to over 250 pounds. The rapper assures readers that, while Marshall has put on a few pounds, he’s still in good shape both physically and lyrically. Em contributed a verse to a song called “Who Want It,” on which the two MC’s encourage other rappers to step up if they’re looking for trouble. “He’s still the coldest that ever did it,” Trick said of Em. “The game needs his album. He’s rapping on “Who Want It.” He’s like, ‘Who want it?’ [In the song] he’s hanging out and these fucking idiots are always at it. If you want it, come get it. He ain’t trying to do nothing but be Em. I’m being me. If you want it, I got ya. He’s Em on there. He’s going for it. Whoever wants some can come get it. Em produced and rapped on it.” Trick also managed to snag legendary producer Dr. Dre for a track called “Hold On” which also appears on The Villain. “You can’t just rap on a Dr. Dre track, you have to come with it,” he explained to MTV News about the song. “It has a message, but it’s a street message.” Another notable song is “Together Forever,” which includes what Trick claims is the final verse recorded by slain D12 member Proof. The Villain is the follow up to Trick’s 2005 debut The People Vs.

    Real Talk…Trick Trick is a G, but he’s no rapper. Like 12 years ago he was the shit with booty music, a real legend (look up Trick Trick and the Goon Squad), but now he’s tryin to be a real rapper and that shit’s not working. Dude raps like cool moe dee or something cuz he’s old as shit. I got love for the dude, but as far as lyrics, he’s not even top 10 in the D! But like I said, he’s top 10 anywhere when it comes to booty music!

  • prakash

    we will see what happens. hopefully, this dude is better than d12. royce was the nicest of all those dudes aside from em. too bad he commited career suicide.

    i highly disagree by saying em is the coldest. no way jose. he is ill but c’mon how many classic “hip hop” albums do dude have? he has a couple of dope songs but nothing more in my opionion. i can only take about 3 songs in a row before his voice annoys the heck out of me.

  • sooch

    “He’s still the coldest that ever did it”…

  • NAWLEDGE

    Does anyone ever confuse Trick Trick with Trick Daddy, or is it just me? They should probably do a song together it would be straight. Anyways, Em is back at and FINALLY is all I can say.

Look at him from Infinite straight to 8mile and tell me who did more incredible shit than him??? NO FUCKIN BODY!!!!!!!!!!

    • sunshower

      a white guy shouldn’t use “yall” and “niggas” in the same sentence…it’s trifling…

    • sunshower

      …then he should go to your Mom’s house and fuck you cause you sound like you want some slimshady up in ya…

      you must be part of “Em’s” white street team

  • Nate

    Trick Tricks 1st album was another slept on Fire album (mostly) If Bizarre wasn’t such a freak show it would have been more fitting to have a dude like Trick in the group. But he’s doing his thing on his own and Em always gives assists to the good Detroit artists.
    This should be another good album for real Hip Hop collectors.

  • http://ww.picturemedia.co.za I RUN THIS…

    Trick Trick is wack..his career is EMINEM’S PROTECTION FEE…lol

  • Yall Some Haters

I’m just being real, yall kno slim is better than most these niggas and this is coming from a blk nigga. Yall need to stop being racist and respect talent. Lil wayne is dog shit, souljah boy is dog shit, kanye west is ddog shit, 50 cent is dog shit.
