NEWS: Eminem Pens 'Open Letter' To The City Of Detroit

Eminem has payed homage to his home city of Detroit by releasing an 'open letter' honoring the Motor City's proud history and its working class residents.

Over the course of the video Eminem notes how the city was hit hard by the recent recession but also pays tribute to its attributes, including Motown, Cadillac and legendary boxer Joe Louis.



Lines include: "Detroit, there is a resilience that rises deep in your streets. You can't define it, but you can feel it. You can feel it overflowing from the people who call you home, from the people who will always probably declare, 'I'm from Detroit'. You took our country from its infancy to its industry. And your name still carries with it a nation built on steel, muscle and sweat. You became a city that carried a country. The city... is built on dreams. People who arrived here, driven to excel, who know that nothing is accomplished without hard work, without sacrifice. When you hurt, we hurt."

It is the second time this year Eminem has paid homage to his home city. Back in  February the rapper starred in Chrysler's critically acclaimed Super Bowl commercial which also payed homage to the citys proud history.
