Detroit Hiphop is largely slept on, Slum Village, JDilla, Phat Kat, etc......

Unfortunately those act are bigger in Europe and abroad than they are here, don't understand it.

Dilla was one of the greatest beat makers ever, he had to literally drop dead before he got any serious appreciation.

I think the dominance of Motown has had a deliterious impact on the country's view of Detroit music. luckily, Europeans have it a bit better. I also blame Motown for the fact that hardly any of the great late 70s, early 80s detroit bands got anywhere [[Sonic's Rendevous, Destroy All Monsters, Mutants, Coldcock, Cinecyde, etc)
