Talk:Eminem/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The article has 1 MAJOR error- Eminem has NEVER lived in Detroit- he lived in WARREN, MICHIGAN. This can be verified by accessing articles on the sale of his boyhood home in the Detroit New and Detroit Free Press data base (can be found online through a google search). Warren is a city EXACTLY opposite of Detroit (like most of Detroit's surburbs. For example, in the 10 years Eminem grew up in Warren in the 80's there were less than 60 homicides- in Detroit there were over 6,000 murders. Detroit is consistently the most dangerous big city in America and Warren (like the other surburbs of Livonia, Sterling Heights, Troy, Southfield, Oak Park,etc) are at the top of the list for safest cities in America). Like Warren these cities go years without 1 homicide. (All Michigan State Police & FBI statistics). So the basis of the article's "street cred" is erroneous-it is promoting a myth and blatantly FALSE information as FACT. I.E.- it would be taking the FALSE stories from the journalist from the NY Times, USA TODAY, etc and re-publishing them in other newspapers as FACT-even though the information has been proven to be 100% made up. THIS SHOULD BE CORRECTED.
