Q+A: Trick Daddy Is Forever Thuggin’
- story Felipe Delerme
The funniest thing about that entire Rick Ross correctional officer-as-a-first-job fiasco was that the interviewer who confronted Ross claimed that it was Trick Daddy who outed him, when in actuality, Trick hadn’t said anything of the sort. The interviewer knew, however, that by involving Trick Daddy’s name, Ross would be forced to acknowledge a question that to most seemed ill-timed, if not completely ridiculous. Today, Trick harbors no ill will toward Ross, who made it a point to diss him in the interview for what would eventually only be confirmed as the truth, but is also looking to amend the image of Miami rap as a whole. Trick’s new album Finally Famous is about to drop September 15th and the outstanding leadoff single, “This The Shit That I Live,” has seemingly already gotten lost in the daily onslaught of new music leaks. We caught up with Trick recently and took the opportunity to ask him about it, whether or not he still “loves the kids” and also why he would even put out an album without “thug” in the title. Download the single “This The Shit That I Live” below and read the interview after the jump.

We had a mental debate with ourselves over whether or not to post this, but then we decided we should because we’ve never been ones to keep Akon from the people. At this point, DJ Khaled has almost single handedly resurrected the large posse cut, overdone it and then destroyed it. BUT! Like clockwork, as we’re approaching summer he’s getting ready to drop another album that will probably make us continue to envision Miami as one huge production line of smiling rappers stacking money from a conveyor belt on a yacht. Also in this vision DJ Khaled would be the foreman of the whole operation and he’d be a really unfair boss but as long as you were getting money he’d be cool.
