Detroit MC Trick Trick managed to lock down Eminem and Dr. Dre for his new album The Villan. Despite recent reports, Trick says Eminem isn't morbidly obese.

"Em just picked up some weight, that's it," Trick, a fellow Detroit native, downplayed Thursday afternoon. He's nowhere [near] 250 pounds or anything like that. He picked up a little weight. He ain't walkin' around obese or some sh-- though. He can still run two miles if you want him to and still out-box the majority of them. My man still gets down."
Other collaborators on Trick's album include Proof of D-12, Esham, Kid Rock, and a song produced by Dr. Dre.
"The [rhymes] I did over Dre's track, I had to come hard," Trick added. "You can't just rap on a Dr. Dre track, you have to come with it. It has a message, but it's a street message. ... Street cats have to deal with a lot. A lot of people in the music business overlook the streets. You gonna encounter adversity. You can't fall off. You gotta hold on."
