Sometimes you think you’ve seen everything, and then someone swipes an Eminem beat to make a hip-hop video on building light rail along Woodward Avenue, featuring stop-action rapping Lego men and references to famed Detroit mayor Hazel S. Pingree.

We’re all over it. And it’s one of the most awesome things you’ll watch all week.
Peep the video here.
