Robbing the Banksynew
When 555 Gallery cut a Banksy out of the old Packard Plant in Detroit, they said it was to "preserve" the street art. Now, strapped for cash, the gallery intends to sell it, raising all sorts of questions: What are the rules of street art? Who really painted it? And how much is it worth?

More Mind, Less Grind: Women of Detroit hip-hopnew
There's a definite shift taking place in Detroit. Women with intelligence in music is nothing new, but the fact that they're banding together, tired of all the institutional bullshit and mainstream-encouraged hyper-sexualization — that is a wonderful thing, and it's happening in Detroit now.

The Music Issuenew
Here in Detroit, we’re blessed with countless great artists spanning all genres. When you include visiting bands, touring festivals and our renowned performing venues, the verdict is indisputable: Motown is one of music’s critical hubs.
So when the Music Issue rolls around, the question isn’t what to include but what not to. We think you’ll like what we did:
• None More Black: Isenblast
• Jimmy Ohio & the Ultimate Lovers
• Keeping the Demons at Bay: Sleigh Bells
• MT Staff’s “First and Best” Concerts

Noise of Summer: How 1990s summer jams made us dumberernew
In the days before earbuds, they were the anthems you knew by heart from just walking around town. And they were catchy and smart. But something happened in the 1990s: Summer jams started getting so subnormal, so tweaked to appeal to below-average intellect, that they'd rightly earn their place as sports anthems or become culturally appropriated by Disney.
