How does music 'sound' like it's from Detroit? Does it sound automotive or like it's on a river? Or do you mean that it doesn't sound like Motown?

That sounds pretty subjective to me. Detroit has ALWAYS been a musically diverse city. So that is either your opinion or a sincerce dislike for Kid Rock. A little history lesson.....KR has been in the Rap Game since the 80's rubbin shoulders with people like one Sean Carter, [[ Jay Z), Nas, and other current and past hip hop artists., so I will say thet he has definately earned his stripes and is a legitimate artist.
Bob Seger was born in Dearborn, moved to Ann Arbor, and later Waterford and doesn't live in the city limits now. Mitch Ryder is from Hamtramck and doesn't live in the city limits now. Mick Collins lives in Brooklyn. Derrick May is from Belleville, not sure where he lives now. MC5 is from Lincoln Park and lived in Detroit before moving to Ann Arbor. Wayne Kramer lives in LA now, not sure about the rest of em. I'm fairly certain Eminem, George Clinton and Yusef Lateef don't live in the city limits. Jack White dissed Detroit before moving to the plastic soul sucking place that is Nashville. I'm not sure what your point is. I'm not crazy about Kid Rock's music either, but at least he doesn't have the negative attitude Mr. White regularly displays.
Who gives a flying fart?
Pushtina, it sounds like you were one of his employees or road crew that got fired for stealing amps or some shit.
Yes this is just another "not from Detroit proper" threads. WHO CARES where the guy is from. He obviously supports his home town of the DETROIT METRO AREA!
Like it or not that is how it is around here. This entire area supports itself regardless of what the peoples mail says across the street. Were all Detroiters!
I've liked Bob Seger for 40 years but if it's true he was born in Dearborn and not Detroit [[as he says) then I'm switching my loyalties to Justin Bieber. Oh wait, he was actually born in London, Ontario and just grew up down the road in Stratford. Is nothing sacred?
I don't see anyone getting upset at these commercials touting things made/grown in Michigan with Steve Yzerman saying "pure michigan" or something like that. He's not from the state, he's not from the city, he's not even from America, but he sure can bring money to it and most people love him for it.
I say who cares, let him bring you money. Who complains about getting money?
401don....you just ruined my day. I had no clue that little turd was a fellow countryman. I hang my head in shame...........
Older stuff is good. Today the majority of it just goes on about money, cars, and women. There's 80 guys on the same stage, everyone of them gets a mic. There's alot of good beats still in today's rap, but the lyrics and the message for the most part are meaningless.
Maybe Kid should promote Romeo in his video's from here on out, And let the true talent coming out of the "D" rep. the city! :D
TBaby, keeping it real! :eek:

In his song, "Devil Without a Cause", there's this verse:
"I went from St Clair Shores and drink specials at Winners, to New York City and seven hundred dollar dinners."
Technically, the bar "Winners" is in Clinton Township. Man, this guy needs to take a geography class!!! ;)
I like how everyone ignores this point. I guess since EVERYTHING is apparently Detroit, it doesn't matter.
I wonder if L. Brooks Patterson would consider that "poaching" or just good hearty capitalism.
It is great to know that if I move to Memphis MI or Armada I still live in Detroit :rolleyes:
