Peezy reflected on Eminem’s legacy, expressing surprise that the city doesn’t fully appreciate the rap icon the way they should. Peezy acknowledged Eminem as Detroit’s greatest rapper, emphasizing his unmatched consistency in dropping platinum albums well into his 50s. Unlike many artists who diversify into fashion or business ventures, Eminem has remained committed exclusively to his music, continuously delivering impactful albums over decades. Peezy noted that while some Detroit artists come from different life experiences and may not relate to Eminem’s style, he personally connects with Marshall Mathers’ creative mindset and lyrical prowess. DJ Vlad highlighted Eminem’s impressive sales of 227 million albums, topping charts above other legends like Tupac and Jay-Z. Peezy concluded with respect, calling Eminem the “GOAT” and giving Detroit major credit for producing such talent.
