Finally Some Real Talk About the New ‘D-E-T-R-O-I-T’ Sign Along I-94 in Michigan

The anticipation was high for the newly constructed DETROIT sign that appeared along a busy highway in Michigan's largest city. It was compared to Detroit's version of the Hollywood sign. When the construction was finally completed, the judgment from the internet was swift and harsh - the sign was not a hit.

Someone who could be considered the conscience of Detroit, rapper G'MAC Cash, has an uncanny ability to very quickly turnaround a track and video on whatever is trending in Southeast Michigan. He dropped a new release called 'Man This Ain't the Sign We Ordered.'

The song (with more than a little NSFW language ahead) wonders how much the city paid for the sign which bears little resemblance to the iconic Hollywood sign.

That's impressive.

G'MAC Cash had arguably his most viral track supporting governor Gretchen Whitmer with Big Gretch and the follow-up Gretch Did noting the efforts the governor made to navigate the state through the COVID crisis and her first term in the big office in Lansing.

A personal favorite from the G'MAC Cash catalogue is the (NSFW) We on the Lodge Wit It crafted after a viral video of streetracers blocking the M-10 Lodge Freeway to run a few donuts.
