4) Random Axe – Random Axe
This was one of the most anticipated underground albums of the year and the trio of Guilty Simpson, Black Milk and Sean Price managed to exceed nearly everyone’s expectations. Now technically, only two of those artists are from Detroit but majority rules and the production of Black Milk and the gruffness of Guilty’s lyrics as a whole give this self-titled release a golden Detroit hue.
Yo, that’s kind of whack, man. Whatever happened to “Never do what they do?”
I want to clarify that I was referencing the “Ro Spit” video.
No Quelle? Are you kidding me?
He got an honorable mention on the last link… with Big Sean.
dam there are alot of dope artist out of Detroit….but NO ELZHI ! WTF! ??? Okay Player and whoever put this list together gets no credibility from me. This is poor Journalism .
i hope your being sarcastic
Elzhi was # 1 on this list bro… go to page 12
Where’s the love for Apollo Brown? Dude is my favorite producer out right now. From The Left’s Gas Mask, The Reset, Clouds, and the joint he put together with Hassaan Mackey, Apollo is killin it.
This has to be one of the worst lists put together and shows it is done by a Detroit outsider. The scene here is incredible and filled with talent but half these artist are not even dropping anything or working the scene in Detroit. Come out to a club on the scene on a Saturday and listen to people who are blowing it up right now before you put this together.
“Notching 33 million YouTube views for the music video “Lighters” in only five months says it all.”
Using that as an example to gauge Em & Royce’s success on their EP says it all. You chose the most non Detroit, least Bad Meets Evil song on the entire EP. That song was put on just to push the EP. Lyrics sub par. Production terrible. How do you use a Bruno Mars throwaway to illustrate the success & “Detroitness” of BME? SMH
Below average article good sir. Co-sign some of what you said but overall, poorly written. Ok, bye.
I agree man. If you’re gonna mention that collab, don’t mention Lighters. That song sucked and d-bag Bruno Mars was only on there to sell a radio hit. The album otherwise would’ve been a perfect representation of Detroit. Fastlane was a much better single in my opinion.
“Up up down down left right left right B A B A select start” Danny Brown is that nicca. Love to hear this kid rhyme!
cashout doughboys gotta be on ANY Detroit list, shout RO & Brown & my nigga Speedy. UM2-City of Joe 2012 first quarter…yo y’all need a MC outta here I can Mickey Factz him Free DRG
Some good albums on there, but I was surprised no Apollo Brown either – the guy has been doing it all for the D: The Reset, Brown Study, Gas Mask, Clouds, and Daily Bread all in like a year and a half after winning that red bull thing in Detroit. All good tho, guess it’s just taste, but I definitely vote for Apollo Brown on this one. Maybe next year, I just read he’s got a project with OC.
What about Hasaan Mackey & Apollo Brown?
