Last week it was NY and this week we pay tribute to Detroit, Michigan. The most underrated area in the world for musical talent. From Segar to Nugent to Madonna to Kid Rock to Aaliyah to Eminem to J Dilla to The White Stripes to the birth of Motown music to the birthplace of techno music to home of soul sample hip-hop beats.
Here are the top 5 songs about Detroit:
8 Mile - Eminem (Pretty obvious, who knew the whole world would know about 8 mile road?)
Hello, Detroit - Sammy Davis Jr.
Put Your Hands Up (for Detroit) - Fedde Le Grand (Surprisingly, a lot of people from the area don't know that Detroit is the birthplace of techno music. Probably the only techno song I like.)
Rock City (featuring Eminem) - Royce da 5'9'' (Royce automatically makes every list on here.)
Heaven (featuring Kid Rock) - Uncle Kracker
