Obie Trice recently sat down for an interview with Hip Hop DX, where he shed light on why exactly he left Shady Records back in 2008.  According to Trice, issues with Interscope chairman Jimmy Lovine contributed majorly to his decision to leave, but Obie still has mad love for his friend Eminem.

"The thing with Shady Records was it was an Interscope Records-type situation.  Me and Interscope Records Chairman Jimmy Iovine was having issues back then.  I was kind of reckless, not on time, certain things and he didn't want to further the project with me so we tried to work it out but it just didn't come to a head so I had to do what I had to do. Eminem, you know that's his boss so he really didn't have any say-so in that. It was more of a Jimmy Iovine/Obie Trice-type situation. That's still my family though, Shady Records. As you know Eminem is on the album doing production and performing so we still going to get this money together, nothing changes that and that's my brother forever, me and Em forever close. It was more so just a big company/Jimmy."
