Machine Gun Kelly, or MGK, is one of the most popular and acclaimed hip-hop artists of the modern era. He has been a consistent presence in the rap game since 2011, when he released his debut mixtape “Lace Up”. Over the years, he has carved out a niche for himself as a talented lyricist and performer with an edgy image and style.
MGK’s career reached new heights in 2018 when he released his fourth studio album “Binge”. The album was met with critical acclaim and certified platinum by the RIAA. It spawned several hit singles including “Rap Devil” which went viral on YouTube and sparked a highly publicized feud with Eminem.
The feud between Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly began in 2012 when MGK tweeted aout Eminem’s daughter Hailie Mathers. In response, Eminem wrote the diss track “Killshot” that quickly gained notoriety for its vicious lyrics directed at Machine Gun Kelly. While it seemed like this feud had been put to rest with “Killshot”, it reignited again in 2020 when Eminem name-dropped MGK on his song “Unaccommodating”.
So did Machine Gun Kelly quit rapping? No, he did not quit rapping but instead shifted away from rap towards a more guitar-driven sound on his latest two albums – ‘Tickets To My Downfall’ (2020) and this year’s ‘Mainstream Sellout’. While some fans may have been disappointed by this change of direction, it appears that it was a natural progression for MGK as an artist as he continues to reinvent himself musically.
At the end of the day, Machine Gun Kelly is still one of the biggest names in hip hop today and his influence will continue to be felt long after this current feud is forgotten.
