If Eminem, D12 and Obie Trice were characters on “The Wire”

An article at BallerStatus.com has an interesting feature called “If Hip Hop was ‘The Wire’”. Read the verdict on Detroit’s prominent artists below.

Dr. Dre & Eminem would be…The Greeks
The men behind the men. They got the illest product, the illest connections, and what ever they do seems to turn to gold. But they’re not afraid to walk away when things don’t look right. They literally washed the coke down the drain with the Detox album, and left Nick (The Game) stranded for dolo. No matter what though, you just know these guys are always gonna sell.

Shady/Aftermath would be…The Dock Workers
D-12. Obie Trice. Stat Quo. These are guys you almost became familiar with, but then the season ended and you forgot they existed. Just another side of the hip-hop world that pretty much goes unnoticed till the Greeks make us aware.
