The last word should be trice.  A girlfriend works in a bar and other
younger bar tenders were using the phrase and she wondered if i could
find out what it means.  wildbillcudas

Hi Wildbillcudas:

If the last word is  "Trice", then there's really only one person that
they're talking about: Obie Trice.

daughter Kobie was born, she is now his everything in life.

He has been rapping for over 12years since he was the age of 11. His
musical influences as he was growing up included such artists as Big
Daddy Kane, Biz Markie, Rakim and Redman.

“Respect”, “Dope Jobs Homeliss”, “The Well Known Asshole” and many
more. With such underground succes he has been signed to Eminem’s new
