About
There’s a road every mile in Detroit — 7 Mile, 8 Mile, 9 Mile, etc. all the way up to 16 Mile. The famous 8 Mile is the boundary between the wealthier part of Detroit to the north and the ghetto part of Detroit to the south. Being from north of 8 Mile is considered pussy in Detroit rap circles
