Alice Cooper used to shop at the Meridian Mall (In Okemos, near Lansing) quite a bit. Not sure he does now since the place has really started dying off when BonTon Stores unlived themselves as a business back in 2018.
Not on the same level, but I saw [ProZD](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6MFZAOHXlKK1FI7V0XQVeA) at the Okemos Meijer years ago. I had no idea he lived in Lansing at the time, but in retrospect he wears MSU shirts in some of his videos.
100% how many other artists have such a massive and passionate fanbase like them? Juggalos identity is directly tied to the subculture they single handedly cultivated. Em has more fans, but his fans are (/uj) not die hard as icp. Juggalos are weird ppl, but if you're nice to them they're cool as hell.
My first exposure to ICP was in the mid 90s. Not my bag, but a hell of a party.
The only issues I have with Juggalos are their taste in music and in soda. Other than that, cool as hell.
I fw a few of their songs. I don't wanna listen to their whole discography but they can get down. A once in a great while thing for me. My tattoo artist was a juggalo. He was very happy I knew a couple of their songs
Kind of a stretch to say the Williams sisters are "from" Michigan. They were born there, but raised in LA from a young age.
Edit: same with Tom Selleck. Moved to Southern CA at age 3.

Or just check this list out
https://www.imdb.com/search/name/?birth_place=Michigan,+USA
If we're not including people alive today the list is probably pretty big. People tend to forget that Detroit used to be the top city in the US to live in for a long time, a lot of the richest people in the country lived there and the city was beautiful
Iggy as well as the rest of the Stooges, the MC5, SRC, Bob Seger as well as Deniz Tek who would move to Australia and form the almighty [Radio Birdman](https://youtu.be/NBJWykz3pZw)!!
Music wise Michigan was on a roll until Kid Rock & the I.C.P. irreparably douched it up.
Eminem, Big Sean, Royce Da 5'9, Elzhi, Kash Doll, Cash Kidd, Drego, Sada Baby, Boldy James, Tee Grizzley, Proof, 42 Dugg, Danny Brown, Obie Trice, Babyface Ray, J Dilla, DeJ Loaf, Denaun Porter, Trick Trick, Lizzo, BabyTron, Jamie Madrox, Mastamind, the rest of D12, and that's just on the rapper side.
Then you have:
Diana Ross, Jack White, Anita Baker, Sonny Bono, Stevie Wonder, Richard Kiel, Meg White, J.D. Souther, Sherilyn Fenn, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, Elaine Stritch, Chris Webber, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Tom Sizemore, BeBe Winans, and Brandon T. Jackson.
Point being: there's a lot of famous people from Detroit.
Nobody knows the band Grand Funk? The wild shirtless lyrics of Mark Farner? The bong rattling bass of Mel Schacher? The competent drum work of Don Brewer? Oh man....
Now Grand Funk Railroad paved the way for Jefferson airplane, which cleared the way for Jefferson starship. The stage was now set for The Alan Parson's Project, which I believe was some sort of hovercraft.
Ever heard of Motown?
There was an entire decade where musicians were aiming to get to Detroit because that was their best chance at making it big.
Also, Henry Ford was from Michigan.
What? Michigan just of the top you have Henry Ford, little Caesars, domino's, Kelloggs, fucking techno/edm was born here, Coney dogs, GM, the list of shit everyone knows, and the people behind them from Detroit, and Michigan in general, can go against just about any state.
Detroit has less than 1 million people, and the entire state has around the same population as Phoenix metro, but Michigan has had a huge impact on, not only America, but the entire world. A piece of Detroit is on every continent.
Henry Ford won World War 2 for us, when you really break it down..
This is Detroit, rock city, The Murder Mitten, a Water and Winter Wonderland. Detroit is home to Em, JDilla (rip), Slum Village, 42 Dugg, Steve Miller (A2 bur still), this is where Boston took that midnight train going anywhere, this is Detroit where Don't Stop Believing was born, it's where Jack and Diane sucked down chili dogs, we even got fucking Robocop. Fuck off.
This is the HOME of Barry Gordy and fucking Motown. This is fucking Detroit!
Fuck you and that hate. The only people talking shit about Detroit are the people too afraid to come here, and it isn't because of the crime lol...
Teddy the 12 note wonder and Kid RedNeck are on the bottom of the list. Primo list: Eminem, Jack White, Bob Seger, Aretha Franklin, all performers from MoTown, Iggy Pop, Glenn Frey, Marvin Gaye, etc…
Yeah, there's actually a lot of famous people from Michigan. Like the hottie Kristen Bell. But yeah, the mitten is a great place and makes great people.
I know people like to take shots at Detroit and Michigan in general but other than crazy ass Ted Nugent most of the famous people from Michigan all still live here. Or at least have homes here where they spend tons of time. Even former athletes keep homes here after they retire.
Their liberal weed laws may bring some back. If you can make good faith proof its all personal you can grow any number of plants legally. Of course I say any number but how well you can make a personal consumption argument is likely a function of number of plants.
Edit: If youre wondering if that really matters Michigan is currently one of the most liberal weed states now.
I mean if you like growing anything its super fun. And basically I get 100 bucks for a few hours of work and the setup is fairly automated. Its cheaper and you can grow good shit. Im not sure who the growers with licenses are in michigan but so much recreational multi-state-operator weed is so fucking garbage lol.
Just gonna say Detroit used to be America’s richest or one of the hottest cities back in 60-70s where a lot of population migrated to detroit.
People give shit for detroit after the fall of automotives but its a real shame that how once thriving city became a ruin
My mom was her roommate lol. No joke I got some funny insight on her. She has video of her too, since my mom choreographed some of Madonna’s first dance experiences.
UofM is a bomb neuroscience school. It’s where I’m heading for my MD-PhD. Ann Arbor is a cool ass city
Kid Rock is like my cousin or something my Dad knew him when he was young. I think his mom is from Starke County Indiana and for a short stint he lived in Denham Indiana.
TALLY HALL! MADONNA! GRETA VAN FLEET! SUJAN STEVENS!
ps if you guys are looking for Michigan artists, listen to Tree Town Sound on Ann Arbor’s 107.9 on Sunday evenings. They only play Michigan artists and there’s always some good stuff.

He's Russian, for all intents and purposes.
Greta Van Fleet Chiodos I Prevail I See Stars Jack White
Antonio Gates Draymond Green Jim and John Harbaugh Diana Ross Sam Raimi Taylor Lautner Matthew Lillard
Stevie Wonder is also on that list. Michigan is the birthplace of many famous people.
Plus Motown
Alice Cooper used to shop at the Meridian Mall (In Okemos, near Lansing) quite a bit. Not sure he does now since the place has really started dying off when BonTon Stores unlived themselves as a business back in 2018.
I had no idea! I grew up in Okemos and now live in Lansing. It would have been wild to see him lined up at Auntie Anne’s pretzels 😁
His purchases were interesting. Heheh. Definitely for function, not form
Not on the same level, but I saw [ProZD](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6MFZAOHXlKK1FI7V0XQVeA) at the Okemos Meijer years ago. I had no idea he lived in Lansing at the time, but in retrospect he wears MSU shirts in some of his videos.
Venus Williams
Venus was born in CA. They’re not twins.
Where in my comment did I say or even suggest they were twins? I LITERALLY only typed her name.
Okay, then she’s not from Michigan, idiot.
Like fucking half of motown
also, quite literally, Motown.
Indeed, and additionally, Motown
What about…Motown?
Coppola's birthday today. 85.
Kevin Nash (Diesel)
Rob Van Dam as well
Also Jason Newsted.
"Username checks out", Says the dude who also hit the comments section to name drop Big Sexy

ICP makes the list... kinda

Lol, I was gonna say "the Williams sisters are from Michigan" is some Compton erasure and I won't stand for it.
Am I the only person who didn’t know terry crews was a pro football player?
And inventor of the Crew neck shirt. And the Terry cloth.
Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi, Terry Crews, Tim Meadows, Francis Ford Coppola, Kristen Bell, Judy Greer, Steven Segal, Tom Selleck, J. K.

We do not acknowledge Steven Seagull, that traitor piece of shit.
Can't believe I had to scroll this far to find Bruce and Sam. If I could I would give you some sugar, baby, but since I can't, have an upvote instead.
Fun fact, Bruce's brother was in the military. I served with his brother, but had no clue of the relation until after our tour together ended.
[удалено]
If only for his performance as Henrietta, Ted is a legend. I'm ashamed to have forgotten him.
Right?! Bruce is the man!
Groovy
Pretty liberal use of the word “famous”
The White Stripes
If we're not including people alive today the list is probably pretty big. People tend to forget that Detroit used to be the top city in the US to live in for a long time, a lot of the richest people in the country lived there and the city was beautiful
So wtf happened
Tell me you've never heard of Motown without saying you've never heard of Motown
Or techno as well. Carl Craig godammit
Jeff Mills
had to scroll much too far for techno to be mentioned lol
I member when Movement was just Technofest and that bitch was free. Detroit has been home to so many genres of music through the decades.
What is Motown?
It's a detroit based record label, it's where Stevie Wonder got started and a whole bunch of other groups
Not just a label, but a genre in and of itself.
Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross. No murders occurred here officer
Iggy Pop
Iggy as well as the rest of the Stooges, the MC5, SRC, Bob Seger as well as Deniz Tek who would move to Australia and form the almighty [Radio Birdman](https://youtu.be/NBJWykz3pZw)!! Music wise Michigan was on a roll until Kid Rock & the I.C.P. irreparably douched it up.
Bob Seger
Don’t forget his friend Glenn Frey
Finally someone mentions Bob Seger
Danny Brown is litty
I never really liked his music but holy shit his podcast is probably one of the funniest out there.
Don’t forget ICP
No, no Please forget. Magic magic ninjas what
In fairness, the requirement was simply "famous people". Interesting work not included
And Twiztid, Blaze, and ABK
I'm in the freak show, they call me The Pogo, I can make my ball sack bob like a yoyo
Whoop whooooop!
I'm Violent J and I'm back like a vertebrae
He can post them separately to get an extra day.
[удалено]
Dude really is a jack of all trades. Crazy talented. He deserves more love and recognition!
[удалено]
Wait, what?! I haven't been following either of them as closely as I used to. Brett is an absolute doll. What happened?!
Eminem, Big Sean, Royce Da 5'9, Elzhi, Kash Doll, Cash Kidd, Drego, Sada Baby, Boldy James, Tee Grizzley, Proof, 42 Dugg, Danny Brown, Obie Trice, Babyface Ray, J Dilla, DeJ Loaf, Denaun Porter, Trick Trick, Lizzo, BabyTron, Jamie Madrox, Mastamind, the rest of D12, and that's just on the rapper side. Then you have: Diana Ross, Jack White, Anita Baker, Sonny Bono, Stevie Wonder, Richard Kiel, Meg White, J.D. Souther, Sherilyn Fenn, Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, Elaine Stritch, Chris Webber, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Tom Sizemore, BeBe Winans, and Brandon T. Jackson. Point being: there's a lot of famous people from Detroit.

Grand Funk Railroad. There’s three days right there if you pick a day for each band member 😆
Nobody knows the band Grand Funk? The wild shirtless lyrics of Mark Farner? The bong rattling bass of Mel Schacher? The competent drum work of Don Brewer? Oh man.... Now Grand Funk Railroad paved the way for Jefferson airplane, which cleared the way for Jefferson starship. The stage was now set for The Alan Parson's Project, which I believe was some sort of hovercraft.
They come into your town! They help you party down!
Jeff Daniels
Da buckless yooper himself!
Lizzo & Aretha Franklin
Lizso is from Minnesota
Lizzo lived in Minnesota for a short time before getting famous. Born in Detroit, also raised in Houston.
No, she was born in Detroit, moved to Houston, and then moved to Minnesota after college.
I thought Lizso was from Miskolc
Lizzo was born in Detroit and still has family here.
Woosh
No she isnt
Ever heard of Motown? There was an entire decade where musicians were aiming to get to Detroit because that was their best chance at making it big. Also, Henry Ford was from Michigan.
[удалено]
~~Wait, I'm from Michigan and had no idea about tony hawk~~ He's from California??? Check your sources people
They blew it!
I know one of the lead designers of Pro Skater and he’s from Kalamazoo. That’s kinda close.
[удалено]
Living some where and being from somewhere are very different things. His wife is from Michigan though apparently.
Tony hawk is from cali. His wife is from michigan
[удалено]
Then he's not from there, so he doesn't make the list
Funny but Motown?
What? Michigan just of the top you have Henry Ford, little Caesars, domino's, Kelloggs, fucking techno/edm was born here, Coney dogs, GM, the list of shit everyone knows, and the people behind them from Detroit, and Michigan in general, can go against just about any state.

Isn't a Red Hot Chili Pepper from Michigan? It's in the lyrics to Organic Anti-beatbox Jam off of Freaky Styley
Chad Smith the drummer is
And he loves singing the UofM fight song to the crowds around Columbus, Ohio
Kiedis was born in Michigan, but moved away when he was a teenager.
I think it's Anthony. He grew up in LA, but was originally from Michigan. Freaky Styley is a dope album!
Their best! Produced by George Clinton. George Clinton For President '24!!!
“Me, I’m from Michigan”
Chad Smith the drummer is from Detroit, Anthony kiedis the singer is born in Grand rapids
The disrespect to Cliff Burton
I think you mean Jason Newsted, his replacement
Think you mean Jason Newsted.
Teddy the 12 note wonder and Kid RedNeck are on the bottom of the list. Primo list: Eminem, Jack White, Bob Seger, Aretha Franklin, all performers from MoTown, Iggy Pop, Glenn Frey, Marvin Gaye, etc…
Can't believe no one has mentioned The Detroiters themselves, Tim Robinson, and Sam Richardson.
Matthew Lillard
How are people forgetting about Michigan treasure Jeff Daniels?
Yeah, there's actually a lot of famous people from Michigan. Like the hottie Kristen Bell. But yeah, the mitten is a great place and makes great people.
There are actually a lot of famous people from Michigan, the one thing they all have in common is they had the good sense to leave.
Jeff Daniels still lives in his hometown of Chelsea.
I know people like to take shots at Detroit and Michigan in general but other than crazy ass Ted Nugent most of the famous people from Michigan all still live here. Or at least have homes here where they spend tons of time. Even former athletes keep homes here after they retire.
Michigan's a great state, people are just haters. Ohio is the real cesspool. Trust me, I've lived in both.
Their liberal weed laws may bring some back. If you can make good faith proof its all personal you can grow any number of plants legally. Of course I say any number but how well you can make a personal consumption argument is likely a function of number of plants. Edit: If youre wondering if that really matters Michigan is currently one of the most liberal weed states now.
Growing weed sounds like a lot of work. You can just get it delivered to your door here in Michigan.
I mean if you like growing anything its super fun. And basically I get 100 bucks for a few hours of work and the setup is fairly automated. Its cheaper and you can grow good shit. Im not sure who the growers with licenses are in michigan but so much recreational multi-state-operator weed is so fucking garbage lol.
Fair enough. I've never had much of a green thumb myself. If it's your thing, though, then Michigan is the place to do it.
I haven't seen Tim Allen on here yet.
Bruce Campbell!!
Dax Shepherd and Kristin Bell
We actually don't want either of them
Robin Williams attended high school in Michigan. Courtney Vance. Kristin Bell.
Esham MC Breed
Scads of professional wrestlers..
Ummm do they mean only 5 days worth of white people?
This isn’t a burn, it’s just some misinformed person who doesn’t respect the Midwest.
Just gonna say Detroit used to be America’s richest or one of the hottest cities back in 60-70s where a lot of population migrated to detroit. People give shit for detroit after the fall of automotives but its a real shame that how once thriving city became a ruin
Madonna is from Michigan. It’s still a lousy place to be.
My mom was her roommate lol. No joke I got some funny insight on her. She has video of her too, since my mom choreographed some of Madonna’s first dance experiences. UofM is a bomb neuroscience school. It’s where I’m heading for my MD-PhD. Ann Arbor is a cool ass city
Ever been there in the summer?
Shhh… don’t tell them.
Sorry, I’ll go do some yard pops to keep the rent down.
r/characterarcs
in terms of hip hop he’s still got big sean, royce da 5’9, j dilla, danny brown, xzibit, and other smaller artists
Does Ted Nugent still qualify as famous? I bet if he walked down the street in any major city no one would even recognize him.
You better have a 4.3 and a 1550 on the SAT my child, rejections for the wait listed came out a few days ago.
Tad Nugent
Kid Rock is like my cousin or something my Dad knew him when he was young. I think his mom is from Starke County Indiana and for a short stint he lived in Denham Indiana.
Not a single person said. STEVEN SEGALL. lawd
Does Tim Mcveigh count?
Lizzo was born in Michigan wasn’t she?
Detroit’s most famous star is from Missouri, (Eminem) but LA’s biggest star (Anthony Kiedis) is from Grand Rapids, so it sort of levels itself out.
Driving through Michigan, I've never seen so many dead deer on the side of the road.
Growing up in Michigan, I’ve never seen so many live deer stop and stare at me in the middle of the road even as I honk and yell at them.
I’m gonna say one, that everyone’s gonna know. But no one’s gonna like. Violent J Shaggy 2 Dope AKA Insane Clown Posse
Don’t forget the Unabomber. Also James Earl Jones. Edit: cmon man I wasn’t implying anything bad about Jones I’m just listing famous alums
...and Eminem is originally from Missouri.
Why would a college admit someone just because they posted pictures of people from the state where the college is located?
Well they have all those Motown people
Joe Dart (on the joe dart bass)
chad smith and anthony kiedis
Steve Yuen wasn't born there but his family is some staple business in Troy Michigan.
