Skilla Baby’s remarks to Keke Palmer suggest that while Eminem may have achieved significant success globally and in terms of numbers, he is not necessarily regarded as Detroit’s best rapper by the local community.
Skilla Baby acknowledges Eminem’s widespread popularity and acknowledges himself as a fan, but he emphasizes that within Detroit, there has been a rotating cast of rappers who have each had their own moments of being considered the city’s favorite. He lists several current and past local artists who have had their turn in the spotlight, indicating that Detroit’s perception of its best rapper is fluid and subjective, rather than being consistently attributed to Eminem despite his commercial success.
