Detroit is so fake! We will never be able to make it in this music industry if we dont realize how to do good buisness. Producers will no platinum records wanting to charge u for tracks that u might not be able to use anyway and then when they want to do a compilation they dont want to pay the mc's! Thats BULLSHIT!...either we all get paid or no one gets paid until we all do work worthy of payment for everyone. The KEY HOLDERS...ur next. these cats have connects and dont want to come off of them...everybody talks this Detroit unity shit but all of their mouths are closed. Im here to tell u , wont none of us be shit unless we work as a unit...every little hole of a city in america will get on before us because we are so fucking stupid! Look at us, EM got on and didnt do shit! He could at least pointed cats in the right direction but guess what? It's still not his fault because the Detroit hip hop community at large wont look out for eachother as a whole so why should he. All the cats that had deals are without them now...karma is a bitch! Lets get it together people. We know we make the best hip hop on the planet and yet we are last in line for everything...keep it up and see where it's going to get us...nowhere! PEACE OUT !

I'm inclined to agree. Until we get our collective asses off of our shoulders and stop being so arrogant towards each other, we will never get anywhere. And it's fucked up. I admit that it's partially because I am biased, but facts are facts. Detroit has talent up the ass, and frankly I'm tired of the bullshit from Atlanta being inflicted on me. You know why they are on top right now? They support each other. As much as I detest the music scene down there, I have to give them their props: they function as a cohesive unit. Same as the west in the 90s. I want to see my Detroit people some shine, we got the talent. But we are our own worst enemies. I understand that at the end of the day that this is a business, so therefore some of us are not on that "hook a brotha up" mentality, I'm more than happy to pay you for your services, but on the other hand you got some of these cats out here wanting to charge astronomical fees for a 16. I may be a fan of some of y'all, but I ain't even about to pay you 1000 dollars or more for one damn verse when you aint that damn famous. And then there are the people who think that they are the shit and can't be bothered to even listen to anyone else's shit...There is a certain well known DJ, a certain member of an otherwise dope hip hop jazz band as well as others who shall remain nameless (they know who they are) who has made this abundantly clear. How is that unity? How is that supporting each other when you want someone to support you but you can't be bothered to reciprocate? Am I salty? Perhaps. But does Thymezilla as well as myself have a point? Whether you want to admit it or not, you know we do.
