Just like Eminem predicted, Machine Gun Kelly got a huge boost in notoriety when he took on Slim Shady last year. On the one-year anniversary of his Em diss, “Rap Devil,” MGK took to Instagram to commemorate the day it dropped.
“it’s the ‘Rap Devil’ one year anniversary,” he wrote in the caption. “tell it happy birthday.”
Alongside the caption, he shared a yearbook photo of a girl named Savannah Frank with the caption, “Rap Devil was better.”
Eminem kicked off the feud last year when he dissed MGK on the Kamikaze cut “Not Alike” featuring Royce Da 5’9. Although Em hurled shots at plenty of other rappers, MGK was the most vocal with his response.

After releasing “Rap Devil,” Eminem told Sway Calloway he was hesitant to fire back, noting it would only give MGK more attention. But, like the seasoned battle rapper he is, Shady ultimately returned with “Killshot,” which seemed to bring the back-and-forth to a stop.
“Killshot” became YouTube’s biggest Hip Hop video debut in the platform’s history.
MGK is often asked about Em during interviews. While promoting his most recent album Hotel Diablo, he told Everyday Struggle he still wants to go bar-for-bar with the Detroit-bred rap god.
“Cause he knows long as I’m Shady, he’s gon’ have to live in my shadow” – “Killshot”
Eminem. Damn…Killshot was a dead end for the rap Devil. Shady once again wins!
Killshot was Perfect. it was a highlighted all over YouTube Non said. Dead end for the Rap Devil Eminem never missed.
“Cause he knows long as I’m Shady, he’s gon’ have to live in my shadow” Killshot. Kobe. Game over
“Are you eating cereal or oatmeal?
What the fuck’s in the bowl, mill?”
I mean… if you want to argue it’s better, alright.
But perfect
P E R F E C T
If he still wants to go bar for bar with em why didn’t he respond to Killshot? Just saying….
Savannah looks like someone who would have great intelectual input regarding hip hop… ?
lol Killshot is way better. How the fuck do you respond to that?
My point exactly; even MGK himself basically admitted that he couldn’t respond to “Killshot” during his Breakfast Club interview last year promoting that God awful EP “Binge”. LOL
I thought this dude was dead!! Oh well, just wishful thinking I suppose!
” I’d rather be 80 year old me than 20 year old you!”
Em killed him!!
“Killshot” was OBJECTIVELY better than “Rap Devil”. Anyone who thinks otherwise needs to search up this dude on YouTube named Crypt (who’s also an emcee himself, so kill 2 birds with one stone and check his music out too) and find 2 of his videos: “Everything WRONG With ‘Rap Devil'” & “Everything GREAT About ‘Killshot'”. Crypt breaks down the bars to expose the flaws on the former as well as the gems on the latter which proves each and every point 100%. Even both die-hard MGK fans & non-Eminem fans alike are giving some of the same exact points; so what does that tell y’all who’re still trying to debate? You can even check out Unabashedly Reggie’s breakdown of “Killshot”. I don’t remember if he did a breakdown of “Rap Devil” too or not, but it’s not like it was essential because a breakdown of just ONE lyric from “Killshot” would say it all right then and there. God always beats the Devil, you guys; remember that!
Mgk can rap, it’s just that Eminem is in another galaxy with that shit.Listening to Rap Devil and Killshot one after the other shows a glaring difference in word play, cadence, creativity in rhyme structure and thought process, and plain musical talent. Em molds his voice onto the beat and creates melody within his rhymes, while Mgk appears to rap in the same monotone flow in comparison. Then there’s Em’s unflinching push of truth, he doesn’t let up until it gets as personal as possible. Not even Nas or Jay Z have delivered diss tracks as vicious as Em’s, and that’s saying a lot (Jay and Nas vie for my top spots through the years).
Facts! You know how aggressive Nas rapped on “One Mic”…and a few tracks earlier on the SAME album (Stillmatic) went in on Jay in a somewhat nonchalant tone? He didn’t even have to show aggression on that track. He just had to 1up Hov lyrically with dope quotables (i.e. I rock hoes, y’all “Roc Fellas”).
For me, Ether is a top 10 diss track. Always will be. Back then Nas and Em could body anyone.
I dont hate mgk and tbh I’m disappointed in rap devil I know he could do better but I know em could do better too he prob had another track waiting but mgk stopped first also not to mention mgk started it with the song with tech n9ne where he made a sublim at em, em even points this out in not alike, which is also better then rap devil tbh I wanted another round where em and g-eazy made a song get g to make it a fuckin banger woulda been sick
Shits crazy , never thought this would happen
Rap Devil was way better. There was more said in the song about how Eminem was black balling him, how he has to diss other rappers to stay relevant, how his older music was better, about Eminem age, Eminem’s issue with women, how Eminem has to use other people to come back him up (like Trick Trick) how Eminem has to fact like the old him and won’t progress. Also how bitter Eminem is
All Eminem did was talk about MGK is “broke” (I Doubt that) Eminem rhyming was better on technique level. But that does not matter when he’s just rhyming nonsense. The only reason people are saying Eminem is better because he’s more popular and people love Em. But I’m reality Ems diss was just okay. MGK is not even a mumble rapper clearly.
I grew up on Eminem I love his music but MGK got him on this one a lot of rappers dissed EM but not one of them drew blood expect MGK (Even Royce Da 59) You know for a fact that Em was not expecting MGK to respond after Not Alike (which was way better then Killshot) but MGK shot back and sniped him.
Better to the Layman, yes.
Rap devil was shit lol, first of all mgk didn’t say anything that no one has said before him, people have been talking about his age, his issue with women, his music declining, and ems always had trick trick backing him up because there bad motherfuckers lol not like mgk who is a wannabe of Eminem and got slammed so hard into the ground he couldn’t get back up, also notice how the only person to bring up this beef constantly is mgk? That’s cause em don’t give a fuck he’s a ten times better rapper then mgk lol, I grew up listening to Eminem too and guess what he destroyed mgk, man bun brought nothing new to the table we didn’t know about Eminem, all em did was embarrass that punk as kid lol he had already beaten mgk on not alike lol people seem to just brush that off as just a song off kamikaze but it was a dope ass diss on its own he dissed mgk in his own style on not alike and he did it better then mgk does it!
And em did not blackball the fucking kid he banned him from shade 45 which why is that a problem em owns the station if he doesn’t want mgk on too bad maybe he should of thought about his actions and apologized like they asked if that’s how it went down em said he didn’t know about it till like a year later
Retards like you can only enjoy stupid lyrics like manbun kelly’s…real rap bars are for legends like eminem, jayz, 2 pac and all. Go die
Ok so wait, the shots that MGK took at Em were better? Like they were even shots at all. You need to get schooled on what an actual rap diss is before wasting our time on your ridiculous take on it. There was no black balling, that’s MGK’s excuse for his own failures. Rappers diss each other all the time, it’s the name of the game fool. So you’re trying to use Em’s way of doing it as lame is just stupid. Go listen to Pop music clown. Plus you do realize that Em is known for taking shots at rappers before his more publicized disses. The dude is a battle rapper. Look that up and you may actually get it. Em flipped everything that MGK said right back on him successfully. So any comments regarding money, were started on MGK’s stupid diss. We all know Em put little effort into his diss since flipping MGK’s lines was pretty much effortless since they were so elementary school like. And what’s with MGK trying to diss G-Eazy just to try & find a way to diss Em? Does MGK or his fans realize Em & Kim haven’t been together for over 15 years now? How is that even a hit at all? Please write your favorite artist MGK and remind him of some of this. I’m sure he has plenty of time to read all 15 pieces of fan mail he may actually get.
Then you should listen to Mumble rappers then.
Guess what’s 100x more pathetic than that? This website!
Ya why are they even covering this crap?
You can’t say you win…. if you didn’t end the game going on media performing on stage when you can’t battle to the end is non-sense and childish…. You want to be the new King of Hip Hop then release another diss track…..so you can be crown going on interviews are just stupid
He’s still talking about it because that is all he has. He literally did that just to promo his mediocre album.
Rap is not his lane. Rock is. His Hotel Diablo album had some listenable songs but they were nothing rap or hip-hop related.
Give it a rest. Jesus Christ. Grow up.
I liked rap devil better
So many people always seem to overlook two things. First, Em destroyed anything that MGK had said or would say in “Not Alike.” If he had never responded to “Rap Devil” the battle was already won with that verse.
Secondly, Em did not start this beef. MGK threw a subliminal at him in his verse on Tech N9ne’s “No Reason” which Tech alluded to in the first verse of “YouTube Rapper” with Token.
MM and MGK r wack. I love this! This is entertainment at its finest. Where is the popcorn? If this was fantasy sports, i would sit them down every week until they retire.
It’s not even worth all that. Especially after one year. It seriously is kinda sad that MGK and his fanbase (what’s left of them) are still talking about he big L he took. Just sad.
Meek Mill is the Dream Chaser, MGK is the Clout Chaser.
So many people still on shady’s dick lol em lost his skills years ago, his cadence is wack now, he even gets off beat in “leg shot”. Kellz opened the door for all these others to start shit talking shady too. Lace up bitches!!! EST 19XX
Lol are you kidding me???? Mgk wouldn’t be around if it wasn’t for em, mgk did jack shit for the rap game all he’s done is ride Shadys tailcoat after this beef because no one gives a fuck about him, the only people who do is his 1.2m followers, he literally has not opened one door for any rappers except the fact now rappers can look like a male Jamie lee Curtis, even Michael Myers would not buy an mgk album lol learn your shit bro your probably 14 and have only listened to mgk, I’ve expanded on my variety from Eminem but I know you don’t fuck with that sleeping bear! lol learn your shit bro!
That Jamie Lee Curtis diss was pro-level.
Oh ya lol kid looks like a fucking idiot with all his fucking stupid tattoos like who the fuck gets there album title tattooed on the back of there head lol mgk is a fucking loser acting like he beat Eminem as soon as he said “I heard that shit, I had a clip loaded but I put that shit back in the holster” it was over lol you don’t win a rap battle until someone decides to finally not respond wich fyi mgk didn’t respond, floor 13 doesn’t count lol because he still didn’t have the balls to drop ems name on the actual track lol, and anyone who thinks mgk won obviously doesnt know shit about rap music because at the end of the day mgk is not a rapper he’s an actor, trying to play a rapper (shoutout bird box sucked) lol gtfoh you don’t have a clue
Gotta love the shout out lmao
Respect to Eminem for having the guts to diss MGK
Notice the man bun has never been rocked again since killshot.
Not Alike >>>>>>>>> Rap Devil > Killshot IMO. I wish Em would go back to his “Go To Sleep”, “Girls”, “The Warning” style when he disses or just raps. This super fast flow/trap shit he been doing since Revival got played out quick.
Not Alike SHITS on Rap Devil but Killshot was weak IMO. I wish Em would go back to his “Go To Sleep”, “Girls”, “The Warning” style when he disses or just raps. This super fast flow/trap shit he been doing since Revival got played out quick.
Who cares !!! They BOTH WACK !!!
Then why are you even here?
Why? How? Every time I think this dude can’t get any more pathetic, this crap comes out. The only people that think MGK won at this point are the 15 fans he has left. And a teenager puts that quote on her yearbook? Hmm let’s see how long it takes until she regrets something she’ll be seeing for the rest of her life. I’m really not sure how some high school girl’s take on the beef carries any merit. Please, if any of those 15 fans come to this site, can you go to maybe his fan website, if it’s still even up, and tell him to just stop? It’s really pretty sad.
The Manbun was gone long before that and the dude only did it for a part he played for a season on showtimes Roadies… I grew up on Em, but The kid Kelly has some skill.
THIS DUDE IS BEYOND PATHETIC. HE NEEDS A THERAPIST
Haha only white people are thanking about this beef
