Eminem might just be the Detroit’s favorite rapper after all. Motown rapper , appearing on to promote his debut album on Friday (July 12), disputed his hometown compatriot that “I don’t think Detroit does..
. consider him our best rapper.” As Dugg explained, “That’s probably how they feel.
The new kids don’t even know about him. How would they? You have to really be a music person to go back..
. I know. That’s always my card when somebody get to bringing up somebody from somewhere else, I’m like, ‘We got Eminem.
’ I feel like he the GOAT.” He also defended the rap titan from criticisms that his music has aged poorly or relies too much on shtick to stick. “[Eminem] made deep music,” Dugg insisted.
“I go listen to ‘Toy Soliders’ or ‘Stan’ — those my favorite songs. So when it’s my turn to make real songs, I already damn near know how to channel it. ‘Cause I already know what I’m looking for: I’m looking for a ‘Stan’ type of song.
” Skilla Baby made his comments in response to a query from Keke Palmer on her podcast, , telling her, “Numbers wise, Eminem is the best Detroit rapper, but the gag is nobody would say that in Detroit. Everybody had a turn being Detroit’s favorite rapper. Sada Baby had a turn, Tee Grizzley had a turn, Babyface Ray had a turn, Veeze is one of Detroit’s best rappers, Baby Smoove.
Everybody had their turn being the best in the city. What we lack is consistency. Nobody has consistently been Detroit’.
