I’m from Detroit, people have mixed feelings for him and always have. Gonna need a citation on the Eminem bit, who is nearly universally liked in Detroit.
Comment on Spokesperson
BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 1 day agohes credited with pretty much birthing the country-rap genre that has exploded in recent years. id say creating a genre is pretty legendary. and he had i think 3 hits just off of devil without a cause and a couple more after that and even before he blew up in popularity he was a detroit legend. there was a time he was giving advice to eminem himself on enunciating his words more clearly so everyone can understand what hes saying

there was a story eminem went to a kid rock signing and asked kid rock what he thought about ems mixtape
im inclined to believe it because eminem was on devil without a cause about a year before slim shady lp dropped

creating a genre is a flex whether you think so or not, especially one so popular. i dont even listen to it (because its ass as you say) but it 100% a flex

Just because you create something doesn’t automatically make it a good thing. I birthed a giant turd this morning and I thought it was incredible, when I showed my wife and son they didn’t like it so much. So just cause some people have horrible taste in music doesn’t make the creator a legend
