Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) Blasts Macklemore

    Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) was interviewed by TMZ recently and was told by the cameraman that he is one of the Top Five greatest White rappers of all time.

    “I’m not just a great White rapper,” Machine Gun Kelly says. “I’m a great rapper.”

    The Bad Boy rapper then decries Macklemore for continuing to talk about race.

    “Race is not an issue,” MGK says. “Race is an issue for people like Macklemore….I’m comfortable in my own skin. I can’t help other people be the same way.”

    On his recently released “White Privilege II” track, Macklemore questions himself, Miley Cyrus and Iggy Azalea for appropriation of a predominantly Black culture. The Seattle rapper said after the song was released that it was not intended as a diss, but as an exploration of self-awareness.

    See the video of MGK below:

    1. All these rappers go on about white appropriation like you can’t even find a black rapper these days. 99% of rappers are still black. Most people couldn’t even nqme 5 white rappers and there has always been white people involved in rap.

    2. Bro… no no no… he had #1 album rap/R&B on billboard charts and #4 album in the world. Number #1 on it itunes, Google play and other music sites. Number one fore weeks… he sold more then any one on the lables.

    3. “Race is an issue for people like Macklemore…” I fail to see the blasting in that. More like a statement. A general, lack of any hostility, statement. Lame!

    4. Race this. Race that. White priveledge. Blah blah blah. I live in South Africa where the race card is pulled on the daily and it is really starting to get old now. But the worse thing is two of my idols; MGK and Macklemore (yes you can laugh if you want) are now going to start ‘beefing’ (if you can even call that) over race in the rap industry?

    5. Hip hop is not black because yea they rap but I am pretty sure white people are making a lot more money off this sh*t then black people. Cameria people producer’s label ceo this list goes on and bet is run by white people so hip hop is not dead it’s just white. And rapper don’t mean shit anymore .

      1. MKG is signed to Bad Boy a black owned label you dip shit, trust and believe if its a white rapper out there best believe blacks are getting paid off him, just facts, remember the white rapper Snow? a black man got all his publishing rights, Vanella Ice? Suge night got his publishing rights

    6. Are you mentally retarded? Do you listen to the words that come out of your mouth? He hit number 1 and is killing it in album sales when albums don’t sell. MGK is a huge success and is top 5.

    7. Not all white boys are keyboard warrior’s anyone with half a brain can see Kells is at the top of this industry the one claiming bad boy is about to drop him obviously don’t know shit Kells has done more for this industry in the last year than well over half these black artists young thug seriously he even say words half the time you have so many artists claiming to be real and there fake Kells proves his shit I behind mgk all the way fuck macklemore he’s a pussy no one that really knows hip hop can down play machine gun Kelly is truly is the alpha omega of this industry or everyone wouldn’t be trying to copy and mimick him let alone try to get him on there projects because they need the boost in fans unlike Kells he is a force to be reckoned with and will constantly show up all these fakes lace the fuck up

      1. What the fuck has MGK done for the industry in the last year and what game is he at the top of? aside from being wack and having no bars he’s a weirdo not much different then stitches, his affiliation with bad boy is the only reason we know his name, fuck that fool and yo ass too

      2. MGK is up there with em bro he made his own name. his shit is out cold even his underground is dope as fuck you sound dumb talking shit on here bro. Another one out there killing it is yellawolf

      3. Know one that knows hiphop can down play MGK? HAHAHAHAHA…..MGK is that you?????????LOLLOLOLOL…I guess I don’t know about Hiphop then…….I’m not even hating on white rappers..I like EM (of course) I like Paul wall, and I liked some of the old stuff from Yelowolf he he first came out…but come on son? Your’re statement is crazy…your’re either MGK or your a real stan……. I don’t think MGK is wack but he ain’t nothing special………….

      4. He is nothing like stitches. Mgk is way fucking better than stitches. Stitches raps about drugs. Mgk raps about his life.

      5. So, you’really a music critic, are you? You said, “he has no bars”, which doesn’t make sense. Do you know what a bar is?

    8. Eminem R.A. The Rugged Man Slaine Action Bronson Vinny Paz Yelawolf theres 6 white rappers better than MGK corny ass FOH he trash

      1. Damn another dumb idiot dude slap yourself till your basically retarded Yelawolf better than MGK lmao Gtfoh with that bullshit

      2. Eminem also dealt with race issues in school and coming up as a rapper. For being white. NoNo privilege there. Harassed for being white.

      3. Holy shit!!!! Yelawolf is such a fucking bitch. MGK makes him look like a the complete fuckwad he is… get a fucking clue

    9. Racism will continue to exist as long as people keep comparing things by skin color. Black people are guilty of this too. If a black man supports republican he is an outcast and called an uncle Tom, a trader, or told he’s no longer black. It makes no sense. If a white person votes democrat nobody cares. People should be able to express themselves any way they see fit and express their opinions without being chastised. People of a certain race should be able to be individuals and think independently. Nobody can help being born black or white, rich or poor. All you can control is how you respect others.

    10. Well as certified piru member I agree with Machine Gun Kelly. Anyway, shout out to my piru crew and shout out to my QB homies keep your heads up . PS and yes I am black don’t believe anyone who say’s otherwise . I’ was JUMPED in by the pirus gang in 2015 so watch your mouth bitches this aint I,G me and my piru crew don’t play . Also shout out to my down south homies for holding me down keep your heads up

      1. Its not jumped in, its put on homie. State yo claim in the hood, not hip hop sites. New age gangstas don’t know nothing.

    11. Mgk has done tracks with some of the big time rappers. ( meek mill, pusha t, Dmx, twista, wiz Khalifa, French Montana etc) so why is “unheard of or whack” eat a dick haters

      1. Featuring big time artists doesn’t make him not wack and for everyone else here certainly isn’t the REALEST. Don’t hype him up to be something he isn’t. That being said, he’s an excellent MC and a really great person, as is Macklemore in his own aspects.

    12. Not joining the argument just the issue;

      There is a race issue in the country, which is why Macklemore wrote White Privilege 2. Part of white privilege is ignoring the issue. It may not be a race issue for Machine Gun Kellys because he is white, but there is definitely a race issue, and Macklemore simply addressed his awareness to it.

    13. Some Black Imbecile that works for DX deleted my first comment with over 50 likes because I TOLD THE TRUTH ABOUT BLACK RACISTS! Appropriating black Culture my ass, fucking idiots. Fuck you too for writing that shit Victoria. Karma is a bitch.

    14. Yall dissing MGK have never taken the time to see what type pf person he is…beyond being an talented artist. He is the realest. His songs speak words that millions of people can connect to on all levels. He spent his birthday chillin with fans before his concert started. He personally helped me through the hardest times of my life when I was ready to let go. He gave kid hope to walk again when doctors said he couldn’t & he did! Do some research. Also since race is the issue here, he’s far from. Look at his family and tell me that theres an issue..there isn’t!! Its people like y’all commenting that are the problem. Let history be history. Its 2016..negativity gets you no where!! Gtfo haters you dont know anything about MGK..we see you though ???? EST4Life 19XX

    15. Y’all need to understand that MGK is actually pretty legit. If you know anything about MGK he’s had ride or die fans since day one because he had talent. You know how he’s made an impact? He’s made some crazy turn up songs, and some songs spittin real shit, and you know who he does it for? His fans. EST is actually a pretty fucking ridiculous movement. Lace the fuck up

    16. race does not truly exist for white people because it has never been a barrier. black ppl dont have that choice. White ppl are the most entitled race, and are quick to shoot down racism, and cultural appropriation…because the truth hurts. Own your history, the same way every other race has had to.

      1. I’m white and I have been racially profiled, I’m a convicted felons, grew up with out a father and had to hustle to live. I grew up people calling me stupid little white boy and.I must be a rat cuz I’m white. Fuck that I fuck with people on a personal level if your cool with me I’m cool with you. But of you think there isn’t problems for every race then your just looking at single groups of a race not the race as a whole. Americans and people as a whole need to look beyond the bullshit. Every single race on this planet has been enslaved and oppressed FACT. but what do I know I’m white and have never struggled right.

      2. Own up to what? I own up to my actions as a man. Instead of blaming everyone else for my many troubles in life. I’m not taking responsibility for something someone else has done. You take responsibility for gang violence and young black men getting killed for so many years? Didn’t think so. Be a man and quit blaming others. If you literally been treated bad for being black by a few whites. Take it up with them. Not every white person in the world. I have nothing to do with your problems and you nothing to do with mine.

    17. Race is not an issue? This nigga is stupid. Truly a nigga in a white man’s body lmaaoo that’s why he has no hits white people can’t relate to him/

      1. If you’re talking about MGK I have one question for you?? ” How many times were you dropped on your head as a baby because your intelligence is seriously lacking “

      2. White boy in the hood. Or a club that is majority black. Say they get harassed. Can you say they never been harmed for being white. Eminem was bullied and beat up constantly for being white. Shit happens on both ends bro.

    18. Alls I’m going to add is Cleveland stand the Fuc up!! Don’t think some of you even listen to what the man says in his songs if u really think he has no bars…. Please….
