Writing about Rick Ross, and repeatedly seeing the “Slip N Slide” label tag next to his album titles made me a little sad because I sure do miss Trick Daddy. His last album Back By Thug Demand was released in late 2006, and while he’s made a few appearances on other people’s records since, he’s probably is most remembered recently for a strip club brawl last September (c’mon, we’ve all been there) and Cribs reruns. Apparently, he has a new album ready to drop sometime this year, but it’s just not soon enough, so we present a selection of his some of his finest works below the cut. Trick, come back soon…I’ll make some mayonnaise sandwiches for the occasion.

Kindred spirits, you and I man. I found myself longing for more Trick Daddy in my life, in a post almost identical to this one back in June 2007:

Book of Thugs: Chapter AK Verse 47 and Thug Matrimony: Married To The Streets are classics to me, but that last one was a little weak, Trick isn’t really at his best trying to fit in with the whole new Khaled/Runners Miami sound. Supposedly he just made the jump from Atlantic to Def Jam, hope his new album is dope.
I still have a soft spot for this one, syrupy as it is. It’s still my ringtone:
Although it still gets my gut that they replaced Luda’s great verse in the original for this sad slice of Lil Kim. . .
Woah! I just got my ears on the new Gnarls Barkley album (which is like Bran Van 3000 meets Outkast meets the Beach Boys… WHAT!) Anyway, it made me miss “In Da Wind” which made me watch the video 5 times in a row, which made me miss Trick Daddy very much. I’ll watch it again now.
One thing is always true: Trick LOVES the kids.
