    hes credited with pretty much birthing the country-rap genre that has exploded in recent years. id say creating a genre is pretty legendary. and he had i think 3 hits just off of devil without a cause and a couple more after that and even before he blew up in popularity he was a detroit legend. there was a time he was giving advice to eminem himself on enunciating his words more clearly so everyone can understand what hes saying

      detroit legend.

      The Insane Clown Posse are more Detroit legends than kid rock is and people love hating on ICP!

      They’ve done more for Detroit than that trust fund having fake outlaw ever could do.

      half of his best songs are just riffs he ripped from better bands (American badass is just a Metallica song with shitty lyrics).

      I’m from Detroit, people have mixed feelings for him and always have. Gonna need a citation on the Eminem bit, who is nearly universally liked in Detroit.

        there was a story eminem went to a kid rock signing and asked kid rock what he thought about ems mixtape

        im inclined to believe it because eminem was on devil without a cause about a year before slim shady lp dropped
