    He’s not ripping on shit about Detroit…he’s making people aware of hard it is…if you can’t understand that…then maybe for one day you shouldn’t live in mommy’s and daddy’s money and live on the streets and learn a few things. Have fun driving your Mercedes or Benzs…Seriously, who are you?

  3. MikeyI87 says:

    I’m from the 616 and I will say this is the best Detroit song ever. I know this kid and he is balling. If you hate. you got another thing coming. Seriously…all you haters, grow up.

    @ganon006: he’s from detroit. he’s not ripping on the place he’s from. he’s basically speaking the truth. no different from tupac and mos def talking about their own race. it’s the sad truth. plus, the girl’s voice is sexy as hell

  10. Gh05t09 says:

    sad thing is that it is all true :’(

  11. ganon006 says:

    What is this garbage, have you ever been to detroit? If you’re going to cover a song that’s supposed to be about how great a place is, you might want to keep the same tone. It doesn’t make you cool that you rip on detroit, it’s a tired joke.

    @reedpetitpren …um it is in fact spelled with an E so it is pronouced D-E- troit, not DAH-troit. I am from Michigan and every one i talk to pronouces it DEtroit so get over it!

  18. BakerFor20Lives says:

    I grew up six blocks north of 8 mile and I LOVE Detroit for everything it’s known for. This song is dope and SO true and let me just say it’s MUCH better than Ro Spit’s version. Very well done D-Boy!
