StreetCensus hit up Phat Kat for his top 5 Detroit emcees and here’s how he ranked them:
5. Loe Louis – “This dude will make the crowd turn against you in a battle in your own home town” (And yes, he’s the one that ripped John Brown on VH1’s The White Rapper Show)
4. Guilty Simpson – “He has one of the most illest voices in the game and you believe everything he says.”
3. Eminem – “When I first heard him spittin’ at the Hip Hop Shop I knew he would be a superstar if the right people heard him.”
2. Royce Da 5’9” – “My #2 pick hands down!”
1. Elzhi (of Slum Village) – “Need I say more?”
Check out the StreetCensus post here (Thanks to the CardiBoys for pointing it out).
