Smokey was interviewed on the Breakfast Club today, someone in the studio had a Gratiot street sign, they talked about that for a minute, Angela Yee made a statement about owning homes in Detroit, and Smokey responded "good luck with that", and a few other negative comments. I was surprised because Smokey Robinson has always been a promoter of Detroit. Other than the few negative comments about his native city, it was a really interesting interview. The Detroit comments begin a little after the 10:00 minute mark.
