J-SoN is RIGHT ON THE MONEY!!! and not 2 be critical, but thats fuckin a shame and absolutley propersterous that only 2 posts includin JSon's,happen to mention royce as the top 5 in Detroit. Now i ain't from the motor city, and neither do i pass judgement on any of the other aformentioned rappers, but i think thats just a disgrace that most of yall didnt even list royce in the top 5 for detroit, when the true reality is, his lyrical wordplay, rhymeschemes and untouchable flow DOMINATES every mc out there today...including the names that have been around for years in hip hop to this day, thier names need not be mentioned, but to have a cat like me from outer suburbs of boston, have to speak up and ask why yall don't have him listed is a disappointment to say the least, but it is what it is...WORD TO REAL HIP-HOP and REAL TALENT!!! p.s. i bet you Em wishes he just signed royce and sqaushed beef, cuz whoever signs himsoon, wether its diddy nas, or even hova, their gonna gett eh credit for finding the next great artist, biggie comparisons anyone??
