You right. That's the problem with the Detroit scene...EVERYBODY wants to floss and say they are signed to a Major LabelFat Trel the only other rapper with a name from DC I can think of.
Detroit definitely got a solid underground music scene, I don't agree at all that it's comparable to DC that way. Business-wise though their indie scene was never as organized or as big as the one in Houston or the Bay. The big names in Detroit are all affiliated with major labels for the most part except for horrorcore acts like Esham. Groups like Doughboyz Cashout SHOULD be pushing a local indie line because they make local sounding music but they're signed to an out of state indie label (CTE) which is really a shell subsidiary of Atlantic.





Dude did you REALLY just pull DJ Kool out your assDJ Kool for one. But a fake azz hip hop head like you wouldn't know that.
DC is a small town though. That area is commonly known as the DMV. If you are talking DMV:
Clipse
Pharrell
Chris Brown
D'Angelo
Just off the top of my head. Now go on breh![]()


and NONE of those artists you named are considered DMV. I bet NOT ONE person on this board from the TRUE DMV would say they were. I would do a ban bet with your stupid ass on that one. Stop speaking on shyt your stupid ass knows NOTHING about
