A "cypher" refers to a gathering of rappers, usually taking turns freestyling. The hip-hop magazine XXL, for instance, releases an annual "Freshman Class" list who, after being honored, get together to deliver live cypher freestyles. This cut features Big Sean and a posse of Detroit MCs celebrating their home city. Over its 10-minute running time, Big Sean, Tee Grizzly, Boldy James, Drego, Sada Baby, Kash Doll, Cash Kidd, Payroll, 42 Dugg, Royce Da 5'9 and Eminem all drop verses paying tribute to the Motor City.
Eminem concludes the song with the longest verse during which he slams his critics and detractors. Slim Shady employs his trademark comedic bars to outline how his competition is nothing compared to him.
Eminem previously paid honor to his home city on his 2014 Shady XV track "Detroit Vs. Everybody." That song features Big Sean plus Royce Da 5'9", Danny Brown, Dej Loaf and Trick-Trick.
