When Will Detroit Blow Up Like Atlanta As A Mainstream Hotbed For Talent?

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Eminem, Boldy James, Danny Brown, Big Sean


None of these artists sound like the music in the OP

Peezy first album is a classic.

That Danny brown xxx album will always get play by me. But with him it's either you love him or hate him. Never really cared for dbco and then they all got knocked out at that one show just

I've been wondering this too. I fukk with some of them nikkas up there and I'm a Memphis nikka. But like how @bigrodthe1 said almost all of them nikkas sound the same. It's basically like how Chicago nikkas sound as far as drill (rapping about the same shyt over the same beats with the same flows). But they have their own unique sound as far as production that I could see taking off

 

[Long Live The Kane]

The joints in the OP sound like hot boy era Mannie beats and the rap style/flow sounds like something from the bay...all together it's definitely unique. ..if one of them blew instead of dej loaf I could see the scene blowing a lil

 

[Fani Willis fan]

Jeezy tried to put DBC on, but his cosign aint strong enough

 

[The Villain]

Never. It's not just the music that makes Atlanta hot. It's Atlanta itself.

yeah you basically broke down the sound altogether. I don't want to sound like a hater but PLEASE don't let that sound go any further than it already has I hear so many cats wearing it into the ground here that if it went national my ears might bleed if anything the sound needs to become more progressive. This my lil Cousin here. He has a MUCH more mature sound and is actually talking about something and I'm NOT just saying that because he's my cousin. He actually has skills

Well the thing with the production is that cats been using it since the Eastside Chedda Boyz/Street Lordz era and that been over 10 damn years for anyone from the city it sounds dated and over done. Hell I could produce a Detroit sound beat in probably 15 minutes. They all the same tempo and basically use the same soundscan. And the lyrics are all exactly the same. I hate it

even detroit people hate the detroit scene

some of the music y'all posted ain't really "blow-up" material though. they doesn't have pop stylings to become mainstream. just my opinion

Well I don't think they really want to become mainstream. Detroit artists are expecting the mainstream to come to them...if that makes any sense. Most of those cats are content making money for the hood and the hoes. If a major label came calling they would give up their catalog for a 10k gold chain and a couple bottles of lean.

This.

If the city itself ain't thriving, how can you expect the music scene to be.

 

[MR. SNIFLES]

I DON'T HATE ON THE ARTISTS BUT I DON'T LIKE THE MUSIC EITHER. I KINDA WISH JON CONNOR WOULD GET SOME SHINE THOUGH. FLINT IS CLOSE ENOUGH TO DETROIT.

BOLDY IS HIT OR MISS WITH ME. I JUST DON'T ALWAYS LIKE HIS VERSES. CAN'T DENY HIS TALENT THOUGH.
