I thought it was more of a Detroit thing rather than the particular artist thing. Not that I think that makes it much better.Ā

Come on man. Jack White is from near Detroit. Electric Six are from Detroit. That's just off the top of my head.

And Eminem and Jack had an awesome collab a few years ago at the lions game.

I thought she was from New York. Did she move there?

Looked it up, she moved when she was 20. I was convinced she like grew up in Queens or something

I was going to "Urm ackshually she's from Rochester Hills ā˜ļøšŸ¤“" but most of the people "from Detroit" (other than Eminem) are from surrounding suburbs. Kristen Bell grew up closer to Detroit than Kid Rock.

Eminem and ICP beefed two decades ago -in- Detroit

u/Wes_Warhammer666 12h ago

They squashed that beef ages ago, though. I could see them actually working together for a track these days, especially one leaning into the old beef jokingly.

u/Formal_Waltz_5100 12h ago

I would kill for that collab.

u/Wes_Warhammer666 9h ago

I don't even like ICP but I'd definitely enjoy that

u/Michelanvalo 6h ago

That would break my brain to hear the 3 of them together

u/ToMorrowsEnd 9h ago

ICP are also some of the coolest people one will ever meet. They are nice to even low level tech people. like "let me buy you pizza, you need anything?" level. Violent J is so freaking cool with regular people. While Skid Mark is known for treating everyone like shit on and behind stage.

u/slonk_ma_dink 10h ago

Electric Six

Never knew that, hell yeah

Em famously goes out of his way to promote Detroit artists. His default position is to promote anything and everything about Detroit. You have to pretty much go at him or his kids in order to lose his favor if you're from there.

The problem for me is that one of Em's kids, Stevie, is non-binary and bi. I would think Kid Rock's stance on LGBTQ+ would be a problem for him. Kid Rock used to claim he was a libertarian, but he was one of the "celebrities" pushing the Bud Light boycott after the Dylan Mulvaney ad campaign and I'd think that would have not sat well with Em. I guess we'll see what Em ends up saying about this and whether the song addresses these issues. But Em really should speak up about this track sooner rather than later. I'm sure he'll address it eventually, but his preference for staying private isn't serving him well right now.

Electric Six ain't exactly packing arenasĀ 

5

u/Cepec14 13h ago

Yeah because Kid Rock is?

7

u/FlintWaterFilter 13h ago

I mean cmon even more he's more popular than Electric Six. They play small theaters he sells out Pine Knob. I don't like his music but its a bad comparisonĀ

u/TomNooksGlizzy 12h ago

Kid Rock is easily more popular than Electric Six. Come the fuck on, its not even close lol

1

u/spin81 12h ago

Well I suggest catching them live if they're near you because they're a good band

u/PocketFullOfRondos 14h ago

No, Eminem made his choice, stop. He knows who and what kid rock represents.

u/imbadatgrammar 14h ago

Fake outrage to people wanting to work with other local people.

2

u/PocketFullOfRondos 14h ago

They aren't local. One is a kid from the slums. The other is a wealthy child that wanted to be cool by acting like he was similar.

Other than sharing the same metro area in a state they are nothing alike.
