}}The Villain is the second studio album by American rapper Trick-Trick. The record features guest appearances by the likes of Big Sweetz, C.A.C, Eminem, Esham, Fatt Father, Guilty Simpson, Goon Sqwad, Ice Cube, Kid Rock, Marv Won, Paradime, Royce Da 5'9", Throatslash, and his Mathis Family Choir group.[1]

Production and promotion

The eighteen track LP was released on November 11, 2008 under the record labels of Time Entertainment LLC and Koch Records. Audio production on the album was handled by Eminem, Dr. Dre, Lil' Jon, and Trick-Trick himself.

Working on The Villain, Trick-Trick also worked with Fatt Father on his debut album via Time Ent. During 2008, Fatts released two mixtapes You Are The Father! and Christmas With Fatt Father promoting both projects.

The first single off the album was "Let It Fly" featured vocals from Ice Cube, with audio production being handled by Lil' Jon.

Controversy

Within days of release, controversy surrounded this album, revolving especially around anti-homosexual subject matter. This November 11 article published on AllHipHop.com pointed out some of the objectionable lyrics on the album, such as “... He’s a fucking faggot so I’m lettin’ off my AK/Bust ‘em in his forehead/He ain’t worth lettin’ live/A man and man shouldn’t raise another man’s kids!” In discussing the album, Trick Trick remarks that “Homosexuals are probably not going to like this album. But it's okay, I don't want their faggot money any goddamn way. It’s just that every time that you turn on the TV, that sissy shit is on, and they act like it's fucking okay...and I address that issue. I address it hard as hell.”

In response to this attack on the gay community, AllHipHop.com posted an article on November 13 where various gay and lesbian hip-hop musicians responded in a variety of different ways.[2]
