I love the D, and MB, but this video only reps one segment of the D! I think the rap and the video could have been better. The youngsters from Detroit Academy of the Arts and Sciences had a more positive/uplifting version that focused on the D, and not Royal Oak, and Troy and certainly didn’t have to add a lyric about Pontiac, use the N word or focus solely on materialism. IJS!

The people who hate on Detroit have never been there. There’s so much history to the city. It’s going to come back and show the world what we are all about

@Kingzissle glad u think so… OH MAYBE BECAUSE BETTY”S THERE???? no i really dont care bc we ALL know it’s REALLY NOT!

I don’t get why people say Detroit is a waste because those people have OBVIOUSLY never been here, if you had a brain to come and then say you didn’t like it then fine. It’s just like New York without the Broadway and a little smaller, there’s parts of Detroit I won’t go to, yes, but also parts of New York that I wouldn’t think about going to so want to reply and give me heck? Because I really don’t care!
