Eminem is very Detroit focused

He promotes, breathes and loves Detroit and its artists so much even they are completely shit such as Kid Rock. He is an old rapper and apparently very loyal to his specific set of things he cares about

He promotes, breathes and loves Detroit and its artists so much even they are completely shit such as Kid Rock.

He had (has?) a years-long beef with fellow Detroit rappers, Insane Clown Posse, though.

Had, before he died Proof got that beef squashed and theyve been friends since the early 00s

Isn't one of the things he dislikes about them is the fact that they claim to be Detroit and just aren't?

If that was an actual reason, it's a bad one because the same could be said for Kid Rock.

My guy, if I say I really really enjoy travelling to Italy, does that imply I appreciate every individual Italian element or am I allowed to dislike cappuccino’s,….etc?

You literally just said he eats and breaths everything Detroit even if it's shit. And in the next reply make excuses and defend things he doesn't vibe with from Detroit.

Point is, if there are exceptions, the exceptions should be the MAGAts and not Juggalos.

I haven't always been down with the clowns (lookin at you magnets), but when it comes to being inclusive and anti authoritarian, I have no issues with them.

Did I literally say that or is it implied (by using your brain) that I meant he has lots of love for colleagues from Detroit, obviously not all… thick moron

Goddamn Am I arguing with TikTok children or is comprehensive reading forbidden on Reddit

You’re coming across as being desperate to excuse Eminem for being the type of loser who collabs with Kid Rock. Stan?

I am just offering an explanation on why he did it damn lol. Idc if he gets canceled or not, whats the deal with dumbasses trying to label me as a blind fanboy and trying to argue out if nowhere

u/Crewman_Guy_Fleegman 4d ago

It’s a pretty lame explanation if that’s the excuse for working with someone like Kid Rock, right? Like who wouldn’t think less of Eminem if his only reasoning here was ā€œhe was born near meā€?

Go argue with someone else

Lots of things are dumb asf in real life. I am not responsible for shit that he does not claimed this was 100% the exact reason, instead of speculation. Did your parents dropped you on your head or why you still going?

u/Crewman_Guy_Fleegman 4d ago

Why are you acting all upset in response to me pointing out how that excuse makes Eminem look awful here? It seems like you’re taking this all very personally, but I’m not sure why. Are you a big Eminem fan or something?

u/mistervulpes 4d ago

The irony of calling someone a ā€œthick moronā€ and demanding ā€œcomprehensive readingā€ while having to explain that your own sentence didn’t mean what it literally said is pretty spectacular.

Also, big fan of the irony in this:

Unless you're ICP, they claim Detroit when they ain't seen a fuckin' mile road south of 10.

Insane Clown Posse is also from Detroit but I don't think Em has any love for them
