One of the hottest Detroit rappers, 42 Dugg may understand why his fellow rapper Skilla Baby made the claim that people in Detroit don’t view Eminem as one of their greatest of all time, but he doesn’t agree with that judgement.
Earlier this month, Skilla Baby appeared on the Baby This is Keke Palmer podcast, where he made his claim about Slim Shady while discussing who is the best rapper from the Motor City: “Numbers wise, Eminem is the best Detroit rapper but the gag is nobody would say that in Detroit. Everybody had a turn being Detroit’s favorite rapper. Sada Baby had a turn, Tee Grizzley had a turn, Babyface Ray had a turn, Veeze is one of Detroit’s best rappers, Baby Smoove. Everybody had their turn being the best in the city. What we lack is consistency. Nobody has consistently been Detroit’s favorite rapper. Numbers wise, it’s Eminem but nobody in Detroit is playing Eminem right now and I was an Eminem fan as a kid. I’m a fan of Eminem but do we consider him our best rapper? I don’t think Detroit does.”
During speaking on The Breakfast Club with Charlamagne Tha God, 42 Dugg was asked about Skilla’s statement. While he said he was unaware that the statement had been made, he offered an explanation as to why younger hip-hop generation might feel that way: “That’s probably how they feel. The new kids don’t even know about him. How would they? You have to really be music person to go back… I know. That’s always my card when somebody get to bringing up somebody from somewhere else, I’m like, ‘We got Eminem.’ I feel like he the GOAT.” said 42 Dugg.
When asked if Eminem‘s music was simply not relatable to fans of street music, 42 Dugg went on to give Slim Shady his flowers as an important influence on his own music: “He made deep music. I go listen to ‘Toy Soliders’ or ‘Stan,’ those my favorite songs. So when it’s my turn to make real songs, I already damn near know how to channel it. Cuz I already know what I’m looking for: I’m looking for a ‘Stan’ type of song.” You can watch the clip below:
