"Where's Eminem, when is Em coming out, Em this, Em that, 50 this, 50 that... What about Obie?"

This quote by Obie Trice likely describes the overwhelming appeal of his fellow rap artist Eminem, and to a lower extent, 50 Cent. Trice keeps in mind that he typically receives concerns and publicity related to these two artists, but feels that his own skill and contributions to the music market are frequently overlooked. His reference of "What about Obie?" suggests a desire for recognition and respect as a specific artist, instead of simply as a protégé of Eminem. Overall, this quote seems to reflect the often-competitive nature of the music market, and the struggle for lesser-known artists to develop themselves in the shadow of more famous names.
