[cassidine612]

Should be a million plus hits by now. Ya'll gotta do some good hood and get this from coast to coast. Nationwide. What's up.....make it do what it do...viral. Transform.

[gkolodziej1108]

This song really inspires to want to do great things for the city in bringing the suburbs and the city together. I live in the suburbs and I really think Detroit is a beautiful. Draetown and Lawson do a great job of portraying the city. Keep it up u guys

[yfordbrown]

Finally, How Detroit is supposed to be protrayed......Thank You! This should be on all Major Sporting Events! Every Commercial too. Love this!!!

[lemghd]

@yfordbrown yeah we're working on getting aligned with a sports team. So thanks for that another example of great minds thinking alike

[lemghd]

[lemghd]

@monicashamas thanks alot yeah its gonna take all us Detroiters 2 bring our city back

[blinkrock957]

i hate how everyone who doesnt live in detroit thinks it bad and think people get robbed and shot in detroit that shit happends in every city. Detroit it actually really nice.

[lemghd]

since i won't be here when this gets 12k views I'll say it now @lawson357 & @draetown #CITYOFGOLD on our way 2 a million

[lemghd]

@lawson357 & @draetown performing live on the #WXYZ #Channel7 Set #APRIL2nd w/ surprise guests stay tuned

[bcarterda]

I don't even live in Detroit, but i do live in Michigan. And this song shows Detroit so well.

[lemghd]

Damn just think this whole video was shot w/ an 18mm - 55mm Canon kit lens, what you think its gonna look like when I get that RED w/ the carl zeiss lens set. #PROBLEMCHILD lol

[lemghd]

Very Often Imitated Never Duplicated. All the rappers want to rap about Detroit in a positive light now, the difference is the whole song is positive, not just the chrous of the song. You can't talk about how great detroit is on the hook, then have 3 verses about how you came up hard selling drugs & how your better than other rappers. #IMJUSTSAYING

[lemghd]

Half way to 12k views thank you all for your continued support lookout for @lawson357 7 @draetown #CITYOFGOLD EP coming soon

[wereKOOL123]

this video deserves 100million views!

[lemghd]

[wereKOOL123]

@lemghd it should! Detroit should be proud to have this song!

[venusmasontheus]

This was made B4 the Eminem/Chrysler video was released - excellent job on both! Thank you for the time, effort and money you invested in our GOLDEN CITY

[lemghd]

@venusmasontheus It deserves alot more we're just glad to shine a little light on the golden city, lets continue to unearth & re-polish the golden city. Plus positive exposure on a national scale is needed I mean the super bowl easily has 100 Million views, we can't replicate that, but @ the end of the day FORD is more DETROIT than Chrysler lol

[brewinmichigan]

Awesome video!! Thanks so much! I am from Detroit and I couldn't be prouder!! People in other parts of the country only see the negative about the city. All of us that are from here....have that DETROIT spirit!! You can knock us down, but trust me, we will get back up!!!

[lemghd]

@brewinmichigan Thank you for supporting us & continuing to believe in Detroit.

[FlynamicDuo]

GREAT video. I love seeing stuff about Detroit that represents the city positively, and this video does just that. Awesome work.

[lemghd]

@FlynamicDuo No Problem thank you for viewing

[musicgroupie07]

Im loving this video. Will always represent & defend my city no matter what.

[lemghd]

@musicgroupie07 Let's work 2gether so its nothing to defend, bring it back to where we can gloat about how truly amazing & culturally diverse the city is. Cuz high murder rates and unemployment ain't nothing to hang your hat on.

[u2becommended]

Well done, young Detroiters! YOU do us proud. Makes me proud to say I am a Detroiter. Keep up the good work.

[lemghd]

@u2becommended Thank you so much for your kind words, thank you for leaving behind a legacy for us to carry on tradition.

[RadyMann]

I'm loving the great vibes that is flowing out from this video. Thanks for a great production that is charged with so much positive electricity for the city of Detroit. Thanks DraeTown and thank you Channel 7 News.

[lemghd]

@RadyMann Thank you for those kind words so much. They help to motivate & energize us to do even more great things.

[Bassmandave2000]

Great Job on this video.I saw on Channel 7 that you guys got acknowledged by the City Council for it.Much Respect.

[lemghd]

@Bassmandave2000 Thank you sooooo much we still have yet to see the news broadcast because we we're at the city council building when they aired it. Kimberly Craig maybe beautiful & intelligent, but her swiftness is clearly her greatest attribute lol

[Jdat112]

Nice to see some postivity from Detroit! Much love from L.A.

[lemghd]

@joem32 thank you sooooo much we appreciate it.

[MizR0ckStar]

Live in Detroit! 10 minutes away from Cass, but FINALLY a positive song about my City.. LIKE THIS!

[lemghd]

@MizR0ckStar Oh if you live 10 minutes away you know about the cass corridor. I always wondered why if Cass is one of the best schools in Mich why is it surrounded by homeless people & drug addicts & so much poverty. That's why you gotta love cass tech students because we truly excel against all odds & all the negativity.

[MizR0ckStar]

@lemghd Cass is in Downtown Detroit, and the city really needs to fix up Downtown and make it a place where people can come from other states to see. Love this video and its mostly all recorded in Downtown.. was just there on those streets for MLK day

[giggleface313]

Cass Tech "2012"!!!!<3<3<3
