Any info about this old Shady Records contest?

[Never_Enough]

About four days ago I bought Obie Trice's Cheers album on Amazon.
I received it today and when I opened the booklet I found out a little piece of gold colour paper about a contest in which you could win a day with Em in his studio of Detroit.
I read it and the contest ran from September 23 to November 4 2003 and it was only open Canadian residents, there's a PIN number printed on the paper and you have to enter it in a site called "obie.umusic.ca" and find out if you've won. Obviusly the links they give you (the other is "obie.universalurban.ca") don't exist anymore so I can't read the rules of this contest and find some infos.

Here's what it says on the back:

"Win a day with Eminem in a recording studio, just go to obie.umusic.ca or obie.universalurban.ca and enter the PIN number on the front!
No purchase necessary. Contest runs Sept.23 - Nov.4, 2003. Open to Canadian residents only.
One Grand Prize trip to spend a day at a recording studio with Eminem is available to be won (subject to artist availability). Approximate value of Grand Prize is $10,000 CAD. Odds of winning are 1 in 100,000. Skill-testing question required (LoL). Full contest rules available online at obie.umusic.ca or at obie.universalurban.com."

Anybody here know anything about this? Was there really any lucky bastard who spent a day with Em in the studio? And if yes, what do you think they would've done in that day?
Of course Em couldn't just record and do normal things because there would be such an high risk that the fan would spread infos about his new projects and some like that, I have a feeling it would've been all organised and you you could only see Em with a bunch of security and barely talk to him.


(Sorry if I made some mistakes writing but English is not my main language).

Bye!

PS: There was also a little flyer about Green Lantern's The Evil Genius mixtape coming soon ... i guess they've had this CD stuck somewhere since 2003.
PPS: Obie's dope!

I was loling at first because I thought it said "Four years ago I bought Cheers and received it today." I was like 4 years...damn.

[Atone]

i remember this, yes somebody won, basically no info regarding what happened in the studio ever came out, i'm guessing the person who won had to sign some kind of agreement

[TeflonTom]

I still have that paper in my Cheers case...I have 2 copies and that copy I never touch lol

[Amaranthine]

Dude....I think you won.

The duo have decided to include golden ticket inserts into three of the first 500,000 copies of Trice's debut CD. The three lucky fans who purchase the CDs with the golden tickets will get an all expenses paid trip to Detroit to hang in the studio with Eminem while he works on his new album. Eminem, who is notorious for his closed recording sessions and carefully guarded music and lyrics, commented: "We were working on this album and trying to come up with the craziest idea possible to help promote it. Obie said 'Let the fans meet you, that's what they want.' So we came up with this contest, and hopefully it will make everyone know the album is out." "Everybody's always doing the same shit with their records, says Obie Trice. 'Buy my album, get a DVD, get a free poster, get a piece of my toilet seat''fuck all that shit. We wanted to come with the hottest, 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' type shit for a contest. When I was a kid I would have given a nut to win something like this."

I guess he was in the early stages of Encore here.

If he did that for the Slaughterhouse album, it would sell 200 000k a week at least. Honestly, it's just a great promoting move.

LMAO
I wonder what Ems reaction will be when he hears you have a golden ticket from 2003

[Never_Enough]

Wow, now I guess I just need to be Canadian and a time machine lol
Still, can't believe I'm one of the winners
TeflonTom said he also has this paper.. maybe his isn't gold?
Tough it says the contest is just for Canadian people and in the back of the box of the CD it says it's manifactured and distributed in Canada so...

Word, tweet a picture of it man. That's crazy.

I took the pic few minutes ago, tomorrow morning I'll post it

Damn imagine if you had a time machine and went back to 2003. Running into the studio screaming "EMINEM FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON'T MAKE THIS ALBUM!!"
