Look, the dude’s an asshole. He shouldn’t be on any talk show because his personal views are not worth listening to. But he has also sold 26 million albums, which is enough to count pretty much anyone as a “music legend”.
hes credited with pretty much birthing the country-rap genre that has exploded in recent years. id say creating a genre is pretty legendary. and he had i think 3 hits just off of devil without a cause and a couple more after that and even before he blew up in popularity he was a detroit legend. there was a time he was giving advice to eminem himself on enunciating his words more clearly so everyone can understand what hes saying
creating a genre is a flex whether you think so or not, especially one so popular. i dont even listen to it (because its ass as you say) but it 100% a flex
I’m from Detroit, people have mixed feelings for him and always have. Gonna need a citation on the Eminem bit, who is nearly universally liked in Detroit.
Music legend?? Dude had like 2 hit songs 20 years ago

Now, he definitely is NOT a “music icon”.
Don’t forget the theme song to Osmosis Jones where he sings about wanting to rape minors.
One of those hits was basically just a fan fiction song for sweet home Alabama.
there were two!?

The Insane Clown Posse are more Detroit legends than kid rock is and people love hating on ICP!
They’ve done more for Detroit than that trust fund having fake outlaw ever could do.
half of his best songs are just riffs he ripped from better bands (American badass is just a Metallica song with shitty lyrics).
Good for him. Country-rap is ass and not the flex you think it is
Hick-hop.
Y’all ternative

there was a story eminem went to a kid rock signing and asked kid rock what he thought about ems mixtape
im inclined to believe it because eminem was on devil without a cause about a year before slim shady lp dropped
