Detroit’s Eminem listed as 2022 Hall of Fame Inductee

It has been announced the man considered one of the best rappers of all time, Eminem, is officially being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

“What do you think about him being inducted? I don’t picture him as a rock and roll artist. He’s more of a hip-hop artist, but any induction into any hall of fame is great, right?” asks Detroiter Lisa Glynn.
