Has anyone mentioned Big Sean yet, or are we pretending he doesn't exist?

to be fair, i think the thread was more geared toward the talent from Detroit that gets largely overlooked..

Before Bad Brains, the Sex Pistols or even the Ramones, there was a band called Death.

Punk before punk existed, three teenage brothers in the early '70s formed a band in their spare bedroom, began playing a few local gigs and even pressed a single in the hopes of getting signed. But this was the era of Motown and emerging disco. Record companies found Death’s music— and band name—too intimidating, and the group were never given a fair shot, disbanding before they even completed one album. Equal parts electrifying rockumentary and epic family love story, A Band Called Death chronicles the incredible fairy-tale journey of what happened almost three decades later, when a dusty 1974 demo tape made its way out of the attic and found an audience several generations younger. Playing music impossibly ahead of its time, Death is now being credited as the first black punk band (hell...the first punk band!), and are finally receiving their long overdue recognition as true rock pioneers.

They basically had no shot to make it because Rock is thought of as white music so that made them unmarketable which is the same reason Jimi had to find a backdoor through London to make a mark in the USA.

I think Detroit has been keeping real hip hop alive to be honest...

I'm from the D and I can't say that...the local scene is trash and the National scene is Big Sean and Dej Loaf not exactly ground breaking. I think Cali right now is what's keeping Hip Hop alive

I can see that but I ment more the Elzhi's, Slum Village, Etc...Cali got a battery in its back but it still gotta leave some stuff out...I think the southern influence has hurt all the coast...that and ppl looking to Drake and Wayne as an influence...I like Kendrick but the wayne influence with the voices he do...big turn off musically..

Anyone from the D on here produce or play any instruments?
