Man...I got respect for Em though. He came up battling, put on many people in his city, and atleast has respect for hip-hop as a culture.

Like I remember when 8 mile came out. In retrospect...he didn't even have to do that movie...but I feel he did cause he felt the pressure as a white rapper to show and prove and he did.
he left Pace Won and his crew out of his movie. They were influential in helping him develope his rapping skills

@hustlemania @*L*E*G*A*C*Y* Thanks brehs. This thread has ignited my love for music again, trying to find that left field underground funk sound that I lost surfing through some of the horrible shyt these coli teenagers be posting.

The fact this thread aint getting no love says it all :manny:
man.. i stay on top of my music.. alot of times, i dont even bother sharing just knowing for a fact its gonna get lost between all the bs on here.. :snoop:

i would think the smart thing to do is just start a lil music/networking group for folks who wanna really stay up on music.. fukk clicking through all the madness, when it can just be dropped where you know you can find it.. and, then decide to go about thumbing through threads for fukkery sakes..

hell.. ill personally start the group.. :ld: lemme know if yall are down.. we can jump it off this weekend..

Detroit You bytch Ass nikka
Shyt...I'll say it like this. Many people think of Detroit and they think of urban blight and decay or whatever...they don't know what Detroit was and has been about.

Detroit...I've always been fascinated with cause it has a rich musical history and culture behind it as one of the more prominent black metropolises in America. And everything that comes out of Detroit musically is just so unique I can't help but respect it.

The fact that a city like that could produce acts/labels/artists like Motown, MC5, kiss, Eminem, Jay Dee/J Dilla, Platinum Pied Pipers, Slum Village, Phat Kat, Frank N Dank, DJ Godfather, Moodymann/Kenny Dixon Jr, Kid Rock, Jeff Mills, Derrick May, Robert Hood, Juan Atkins, Drexciya, to even fringe acts like Insane Clown Posse (I fukks with them mainly cause they carved out their own niche and made their own subculture..."juggalos") is just amazing to me.

Listening to Techno for so many years and learning about the first generation of producers/djs out there made me realize how powerful that city is...Techno becoming a worldwide phenomenon is pretty much the legacy of Detroit. Go to movement/DEMF...I've been. People from all over the world go there to show respect and appreciation to what Detroit has offered and still offers from a creative scale.

That's why I gotta :snoop:when I hear people talk smack on the city...if you've never been you just don't know.


And nikkas gone continue to sleep on the coldest nikka in the D, shyt aint close. No disrespect to anyone else, but nikkas aint fukkin with Dobbs.

I love 'organic' Detroit hip hop. Slum Vil, Dilla, Milk, Elzhi stay making heat.
One of my good friends is in a group called Clear Soul Forces, they on the ride :ohlawd:

But I hate radio Detroit hip hop, everyone still trying to sound like Blade, and beats sound like outdated trap beats

These dudes are nice
