Detroit was kind of a random thing where it was like a chance to be in a rock 'n' roll movie.

Detroit is right now a new Mecca for Hip Hop.

My music is the essence of Detroit. At one time, we were the center of the world, man - Motor City.

For me, personally, Detroit is a melting pot for everything. We get the best from the East Coast, West Coast and down South.

Detroit is in my music consciously and subconsciously.

Rock n' roll really belongs to all America. It really doesn't belong to one city.

Detroit is beautiful - though you probably have to be a child of the industrial Midwest, like me, to see it.

Detroit is drunken idiots. It was no surprise to me. I performed with Kenny Rogers for one year as his opening act, and I got to visit every major American city and notice the audience, and Detroit was one of the worst.

Definitely just growing up in general influenced me; Detroit happened to be where I was. I feel like the city definitely has made an impact on my life and made me who I am. Detroit has an unmistakable soul - nobody can duplicate the soul we bring to the game. From Motown to J Dilla to Eminem to anything.

I've performed in Auburn Hills, at The Palace, so I haven't really been in downtown Detroit, but I've been able to be here, and I can really see, what the city was. Like, I can feel why Motown started here and how amazing it was.
