To me the underground captures the city's musical history more while the street niggas capture the street life but they lack originality and the lyrical ability to be relatable outside the city
I like DBs Idk where the buzz went.Son sighned to Nas is fire and there's a few others who are dope
For some reason the underground goes natl before the commercial type music

Tbh it seems like most of the Detroit underground are more famous outside of Michigan than they are here lol
Guys like royce,slum village etc never was popping like that in the city
Big Sean might be the first one that everyone fuck wit
A lot of it is hate.The D is like the haters ball on Chappelle show.funny enough it seems like the real mcs get the major deals while the wannabe commercial guys stay indie and get street love.
Sean gets love because he's right in the middle.He's not super underground or a simple street rapper.Plus he got Kanye.Sean is a good marketable artist.
They may not get street love,but niggas know Royce and Slum and ppl like Guilty or on a whole other level lyrically and industry wise.
Royce doesn't make radio music anyway but it's a shame he gets play on the east and west,but not at home.If nothing else Slaughterhouse gets mixshow love in other regions.
Cs , it seem like all the underground and mainstream Detroit artists fuck with Sean
