I just mean that Detroit producers have always taken their time, generally preferring quality to quantitiy output. Just saying: how many times can we go over the must-have works and undisputed genius of these artists once we've covered that ground? Therefore, we start talking more and more about the artists who have been influenced by them from other areas and we talk about their new stuff. We still talk about Detroit artists to our hearts content when there are new releases to discuss, but there is a large world of people influenced by Detroit, so there's more Detroit influenced music made outside of Detroit to talk about, and that goes some way to explaining why we discuss the rest of the world so much, and when we discuss Detroit artists it tends to have a nostalgic or gossipy edge to it. I was just trying to see if you all thought there were meaningful things we neglect in our furvor to dissect the irrelevent.
