Obie Trice Raps Verse From “Letter” & Details Memorizing Songs [Video]

Obie Trice stopped by the VladTV office before releasing his fourth studio album, The Hangover, and the Detroit emcee rapped a verse from “Letter.” The track, which didn’t make the album cut, features the Black Market Entertainment CEO rapping lyrics, “Wrote a letter to myself, won’t forget my hell,” and “I’ve never been here, never been noticed. Life is more than just a poster on OTIS.” After rapping the verse off the top of his head, DJ Vlad asked Obie how he memorizes all of his songs, and the former Shady Records artist replied, “This is what I do. It’s just like osmosis for me, you know…I’m a hip-hop artist.” He also pointed out that he has forgotten some lyrics from his vast catalog, and he pointed out that even great emcees like Jay Z forget their lyrics.
