DETROIT - Obie Trice was shot early Saturday while driving on a city highway, police said. Trice, a Detroit native and protege of Eminem, was on the Lodge Freeway at about 1:10 a.m. when his vehicle was shot at by someone in another car, said Michigan State Police Sgt. Mario Gonzales.

Trice managed to continue driving and exited the freeway in the suburb of Southfield, where his girlfriend, who also was in the vehicle, flagged down police, Gonzales said. The girlfriend wasn't wounded.

He was taken to Providence Hospital, where he was treated and released, said hospital spokesman Brian Taylor.

There were no suspects in the shooting, which was under investigation by state police detectives, Gonzales said.

Trice has performed on Eminem records and with 50 Cent. His 2003 debut album "Cheers" was produced by Eminem, and he also had a small part in the feature film "8 Mile."

Someone who hates rap music?

[mrmargaritaville]

was he engaged in vice?
that wouldn't be nice-

[RGSpincich]

Probably another magic bullet theory. This one entering the vehicle without creating an entrance hole.

[Servant of the 9]

Bad Timing.

If they had waited one more day he could have been the frist blown up rapper of the new year.

So9

[hershey]

Charming fellow.

"We All Die One Day" Cheers Ablum

The man's a prophet and didn't even know it.

[It's one of his songs}

[yer gonna put yer eye out]

This smells suspiciously like a PR stunt...
Gotta have Cred, u know...

[TontoKowalski]

I have never heard of this person. Also, is "50 Cent" a person, a record label, or what?

While I have heard of M&M (I'm not going to back up to spell that correctly), I've never heard any of his, ahem, "music"

[Liberty Valance]

Makes me miss Mitch Rider and the Detroit Wheels and wasn't Grand Funk Railroad from Detroit as well?

[anonymous_user]

Someone who hates rap music?

More like his publicist.

[TexasCajun]

"Gansta Tag"
Pow! You're it!

[ncountylee]

Shooter needs more range time and should consider switching to a shot gun.

[Carling]

My intial reaction as well.

Why shoot a him on a highway? "Treated and released"? Is this guy related to John Kerry in any way? ;)

[Zechariah11]

Obie hit twice . . .

was he engaged in vice?

Now to a little beat . . .
baBOOm baBOOM

[YourAdHere]

Wow. Another rapper I've never heard of. I must have lost my shizzle.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

My only question on reading this news is - who was the "Lodge" honored with the freeway naming in Detroit? Sure wasn't Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. - even back in his day he wouldn't have been caught dead in the Motor City.

[Bobkk47]

A rap star involved in a violent crime?

Im Shocked, Shocked!

[jmq]

Expensive street cred if you factor in medical bills.......

[wardaddy]

amazing how many of these hip hop doofusses can't shoot any better than they can speak the King's english.

maybe I should open a range for them.

help speed up the process(?)

[Revolting cat!]

Thank goodness, I've been anxiously awaiting this artist's next smash hit single. Rumour has it that his next album will be a groundbreaking work of the sort that In a Gadda Da Vida and Barry Manilow's Greatest Hits once were!

[zencat]

Obie Trice, real names, no gimmicks...

[nuconvert]

Hey, you sound like me. (except I know 50Cent is a person. But that's all I know)

[Boundless]

> Someone who hates rap music?

Isn't "rap music" oxymoronic?

All of it I've ever heard was just
inept poetry over a drum machine.

[michaelbfree]

Sounds like all the makings of a great new "rappah" hit..

Trice shot twice
but livin' now nice
on a Motown highway
gotta do it thatta way
BANG BANG POP POP
listen for the hammer drop
drive for your life boy
that gun ain't a little toy
on the highway movin' fast
sounds of guns and broken glass

[printhead]

Some months ago the NYP ran an article about while the number of gang and rap related shootings has increased, the fatalaties have dropped. The reason being that the newest way to show 'tude (attitude) is to hold the handgun upside down and pull the trigger with your pinkie. Gangbang grip is out.

[printhead]

I hear it's pronounced "fitty cent".

[bigfootbob]

so was the "Motor City Madman"...Ted Nugent

[freepatriot32]

Someone who hates rap music?

rumour has it it was the bush admin posse trying to eliminate the compition :-)

[Paisan]

Yes. A Rap Musician? What instrument, pray tell, did he play? Or did he only 'sing'?

[Minutemen]

There were no suspects in the shooting

i suspect it was another rapper

[bigfootbob]

"Also, is "50 Cent"..."

First of all, you gotta say the name correctly. It's FITTY CENT and believe it or not Mr. Fitty supports the President's position concerning terrorists. Go figure. I wonder if we'll be hearing GWB & Dick Cheney have 50 C on their IPod's?

[PCBMan]

Grand Funk was from Flint, a.k.a. Detroit part II, so your misconception is completely understandable!

[andrew2527]

Grand Funk was from Flint

[wardaddy]

lol....posture over purpose


anthropology

[Ninian Dryhope]

Nice looking, clean cut sort of fellow.

[SALChamps03]

Grand Funk was from Flint Michigan. They took their name from the Grand Trunk Railroad, which was apparently a local railroad company there.

[chronic_loser]

Thanks. I spit my coffee out on that pic.

[billhilly]

How many times was Trice shot? Once, twice or.....?

[reformed_democrat]

I must have lost my shizzle.

I keep mine in the refrigerator next to the mayonnaise. It stays fresh longer.

[BradyLS]

LOL! Cheney's the best in that one!

[Armedanddangerous]

I saw Fitty cent on one of the shows a few weeks back, and he was actually quite funny. Also, he seemed like he might actually have a measurable IQ.

That puts him head and shoulders above the rest of that crew.

As for the rest of the rappers, if there is an indicator of any upcoming rap wars down the way, we should volunteer to give both sides marksmanship lessons gratis...


Just to make if fair...you know?

[SweetCaroline]

....Hey, that was pretty good!

Did you ever think of becoming a gangsta rapper??

You could be named something like:

BEE FREE 2 BEE ME U SEE

[Joseph_CutlerUSA]

Two trailer park girls go round the outside...

[GaltMeister]

Being a 'rapper' has to be one of the most dangerous jobs around!

It be's a tough bidness.

[Vaquero]

a protege of sh*t is still sh*t.
