Obie Trice - Playa ft. Bun B
Artist: Obie Trice
Featuring: Bun B
Producer: Kidd
Album: Bottom's Up
Label: Black Market Ent.
In Bun B‘s mid-March interview with DJ Z, the UGK rapper touched upon the difference in how he and his late partner in rhyme, Pimp C, related to the ladies: “He’s a pimp, I’m a Playa” Apparently, Detroit emcee Obie Trice falls into the same camp, and on this newly-released cut off his forthcoming Bottom’s Up LP he teams up with Bun to detail exactly what being a Playa entails—if you haven’t guessed, it’s all about looking flashy, getting action, and, most importantly, avoiding commitment by any means necessary. Though Trice brings plenty of swagger to his opening and closing verses, Bun B provides what is arguably the record’s high point, casting his sexual exploits in a mythical light (“...I’ve been a playa since birth, since the big pimp in the sky dropped me upon this earth). Topped off with the appropriately swanky production stylings of Obie’s fellow Motown native, Kidd, this cut will undoubtedly leave bona fide players and wannabes alike thirsty for Bottom’s Up, due out later this year.

Obie is a Playa... I am not... we're both inside the DJBooth for an interview this May.
PS. Has Bun B ever laid down a bad guest verse? He and Ludacris are the two most consistent feature artists.... EVER.

I love that intro...sooo pimp haha! This was pretty hot, really different from Obie actually. Sounds more of a Bun B song, which is why he is a perfect fit for this track. The chorus got a bit repetitive, but he kept it "player" (pun intended)

This is a decent song. The hook was OK. Obie was pretty good but Bun was tight.
@DJ Z - I completely agree. Bun and Ludacris have always been at the top of my list in terms of consistency. |

I agree wit Z and GStan10, Bun and Luda are always consistent and are often high points on tracks I dont even like otherwise (see I'm so Hood remix)
The intro is pretty tight and the hook is nice. The production is not quite southernPLAYAlisticcaddilacmusic, but it's pretty tight and does the job. Obie does all I expect from him, which is cool, and Bun B IS the highlight on the track. Rotation worthy. |

The harmony of the hook is nice. He deserves some shine on the credits. This different from Obie, he @ets his Ji@@a on in this one. This beat is cold deffinatly belon@s on Jay's American @an@ster Album. Bun brin@s the playa aspect to the track. 3.5

He has a good flow but I didn't like the music. The production itself is chillin and smooth, but it's not my cup of tea

Lacking something, Bun B sounded better than Obie though. I prefer obie on less laid back production where he can just go wild on the mic.
I agree with Z with consistency, but I'd put luda above bun B, but only by a little. |
