Eminem is not considered the best rapper in Detroit, according to local MC Skilla Baby.
Appearing on the Baby, This is Keke Palmer podcast, Skilla made the claim when discussing who is the best rapper from the Motor City.
He said: “Numbers wise, Eminem is the best Detroit rapper but the gag is nobody would say that in Detroit.”
The “Bae” rapper went on to add: “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.”
Going back to Slim Shady, he said: “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.”
Skilla Baby later offered an update on Instagram, expanding on his comments: “No shade to anybody names I left off Detroit is full of great rappers and I can’t forget Kash Doll, Big Sean and Dej [Loaf] of course.”
The 25-year-old left a number of noted Detroit stars off his list including Royce Da 5’9″, Boldy James, 42 DuggBabyTron, Danny Brown, BabyTron and Icewear Vezzo.
“For us, it was like Eminem was out of touch, so he wasn’t anybody we could actually relate to,” he told HipHopDX in 2020. “We were never in touch with Eminem. In the hood, in our ghettos and shit, back when he first came out, yeah, [Eminem] was like a hero for us.
“We always wanted Em to play the position that Royce Da 5’9″ played, but he doesn’t, so he’s not a hero for us no more. Royce Da 5’9″ is like the president of the Marshall Mathers Foundation, and he’s from the hood.
“You’re able to see him, he going to come out. He fucked with n-ggas and he reached out, he checked on us, he’d pull up to the studio, he’d pull up to the club.”
