Eminem may be considered one of the greatest MCs of his era, but one rap veteran from Em's hometown is calling out the "Monster" rapper for "disrespecting the city" and "being a b***h."
Detroit native Esham became one of the city's biggest independent artists of the '90s, with his "acid rap" style influencing Tech N9ne, Insane Clown Posse and others. In a recent interview with the Murder Master Music Show, he puts Slim Shady on blast.
"I am tired of Eminem. I just want him to keep it real...quit being a b***h. He f**kin' sold a lotta people out in the city, man. He needs to stop disrespecting the city and making people hate Detroit even more. That's what that was about....don't even say shit about Detroit."
Esham had a particular problem with Em's latest single, "Detroit vs Everybody."
"With the 'Detroit Vs. Everybody' don't say Detroit vs. everybody... you don't help nobody in the city," Esham says. "I don't give a f**k. I will say that. You got a radio station and nobody gets played on your station? Come on, B. Get the f**k outta here. You got 50 hundred million dollars and you ain't doing s**t. Do something for the schools, anything, I don't wanna hear that s**t. If you say something about Detroit, I'm gonna say something about you. Let somebody say something to me. I ain't gonna say sh*t. I ain't lyin' on that muthaf***a."
