Recording artist MGK — formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly
Crazy me, I thought it was the acronym for Machine Gun Kelly but I guess it’s cool now to go by the acronym itself. 😒
RM from kpop boy band BTS did the same thing. Although his original stage name was "Rap Monster" so I don't blame him for changing it.
The wart on Megan Fox‘s pussy lip.
That guy that Eminem gifted a career just so Eminem could have one to destroy.
Oh. So he’s crazy crazy
Mental health is no joke, hope he can get help.
Man...
I'm old enough to remember his first albulm, and it was pretty fucking good from what I remember.
But the dumbass really let his label push him into trying to start a beef with Eminem. It didn't just destroy his career, it honestly seems to have broken that boy's whole mind.
He just hasn't been right since that happened.
Edit:
Had to go back and listen to killshot again.
He calls MGK "alien brain" and a satanist, well before his blood drinking came out, and obviously before he said he's part alien.
Also calls out Diddy for ordering the hit on Tupac, which is a lot more believable now than it used to be.
All the times he talked about how hot he thinks underage girls are probably didn't help either
Yeah, Azealia Banks called out how this shit was common past the 90s recently and caught a lot of flak for it.
But really if anything she was giving the music industry too much room, that shit was still happening publicly thru the 2010's.
But that article does mention what I was talking about:
He continued, “The reason I dissed him is actually a lot more petty than that. The reason that I dissed him is because he got on—first he said, ‘I’m the greatest rapper alive since my favourite rapper banned me from Shade 45’ or whatever he said, right? Like I’m trying to hinder his career. I don’t give a fuck about your career. You think I actually think about you? You know how many fucking rappers are better than you? You’re not even in the fucking conversation.”
Labels desperately wanted another white rapper to beef with Eminem, that's how Kelly got signed.
RA the Rugged Man came up with Wu-Tang but got blackballed. When Eminem blew up he started getting offers again, but only if he went up against Eminem.
He didn't take those deals out of principle, and it took another decade or two for him to really break mainstream. Which is insane considering in the first issue of XXL magazine, Biggie himself named RA as the best rapper in NYC.
I don't want to link the actual interview cuz Vlad is a piece of shit, but I remember it from a couple years ago. The article gives a decent enough summary.
