    Truth to Power is Tom MacDonald level cringe but other than that I'm really enjoying most this, which is something I never thought I'd be saying in 2019. 185+ Deuce is sensational

    And O dropped a music video for '92 just before three hours ago:


    It's not something huge, but it's decent (he probably could easily made something way more better, but why bother when people would rather give 1B views to Gucci g--- rather than even 1M to something old school that is actually dope)

    True, i agree

    Obie is definitely still living off of his Shady fame...with lazy work ethic and old tracks...definitely not getting an Em feature hurts as most people would listen for only that reason

    Would be interested to see his Shady bottoms up track list...any Em help equals good project with obie

    It appears the tracklist with features is:

    Intro
    This & That (ft. G5 & Directorkasper)
    Heartless
    No (ft. Lyriq)
    Truth 2 Power (ft. ???)
    a--- (ft. Magnedo7)
    Rollin'
    Take It There (ft. G5)
    Letter
    Space (ft. Xzibit & Lyriq)
    92
    185+ Deuce (ft. Swift & Spice1)
    Hate
    SMR

    That means 3 of the 13 songs are out already, including Letter which is 4 years old. No word on producers but I wouldn't expect much.

    Didn't he basically k--- his Shady career by over-sleeping, missing an interview event and royally pissing off Iovine? I seem to recall this being a thing. As someone who likes Obie it's pretty easy to see his work ethic is affected by his personal issues.

    It's a shame because as you said, he was a great fit for Shady. He seemed cool with Em for years but even that seems to have died off in recent times.

    I was quite satisfied with Bottom's Up after so long in limbo. 'Spill My Drink' was a great tune. You can kinda hear him running out of money by the end of the project though. The Hangover had a couple of good songs but was very forgettable.
