Machine Gun Kelly Claims Eminem Is Desperate To ‘Be Relevant To The Youth’

    Eminem decided to participate in the latest Twitter challenge by posting a meme of his Facebook, Grindr, Instagram and LinkedIn profile photos as part of the #DollyPartonChallenge.

    Machine Gun Kelly eventually caught wind of Shady’s post and pulled a tweet and delete, clowning Em in the process.

    “50 year old artists tryna be relevant to the youth by posting trending meme’s is something i never thought i’d see #2020,” he wrote on Friday (January 24), only a few hours after Em’s initial post.

    The bad blood between the two artists reached a boiling point when Em dissed MGK on 2018′ Kamikaze, prompting Mr. Richard Colson Baker to release the “Rap Devil” diss track. After careful deliberation, Em fired back with “Killshot” and the rest is history.

    On Shady’s latest album, Music To Be Murdered By, Em claims their beef is over on the track “Unaccommodating.”

    “But when they ask me is the war finished with MGK? Of course it is,” he raps. “Cleansed him of his mortal sins, I’m God/I’m the Lord, forgives even the devil worshippers.”

    Shortly after the album arrived, MGK took his thoughts to Twitter where he wrote, “mad af I just stepped out a loud room to hear this bullshit. He’s been rich and mad for 20 years.” His sentiments were capped off with a trashcan emoji and laughing emoji.

    Music To Be Murdered By is expected to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and if so, will make Eminem the first artist in the chart’s history to earn 10 consecutive No. 1 albums. Em’s 11th studio album arrived on January 17 and boasted appearances from Royce Da 5’9, KXNG Crooked, Q-Tip, Joell Ortiz and more.

    1. This dude should be the last one to talk about desperation. He’s been using Em to stay relevant for over a year now.

      1. He’s a joke. If he wasn’t riding ems coattails he’d be on the other side of the tracks. As is he’s in the middle of the tracks and ems the conductor

    2. Good grief….stop already mgk. …he just won’t stop. Get on with trying to have a career. Eminem as had a very good career broke records. He put out kamikaze without promotion did very well. He put out this latest album..no promo or advertising and as already broken his own record. It looks like he is just having fun. I was never a big Eminem fan but he is a great rapper . For me he is actually riding beats I can get with.

    3. Mgk’s last album flopped. Shit was garbage. And his 10 year old weak ass diss track couldn’t even make that shit pop…imagine being then”youtb” and still not being as relevant as a “50 year old artist”

      1. MGK is good at what he does one flop isn’t that big of a deal Eminem should be wise enough to realise MGK will surprise everyone yall see all good things to those who waits Go MGK ???♥️? t

        1. He had more than one flop. MGK would surprise everyone buy getting even one album or track to #1. A true shocker at this point in his career.

    4. “50 year old artists tryna be relevant to the youth by posting trending meme’s”

      Might want to check you facts there idiot, this meme was started by 74 year old Dolly Parton so aint got shit to do with “youth” you washed up dimwit.

    5. Em is good but I he’s barely make my top 10 if he made it at all. Jay Z, BIG, PAC, Black Thought, Lupe Fiasco, Kanye West (not bars but definitely impact and classic albums), Nas, Rakim, Kendrick Lamar and J Cole (these dudes are younger but they have more cultural impact in my opinion. We can debate Cole but there is no debating Kendrick. Also, I’m King Los doesn’t make too 10 overall but he is definitely better than Em as a pure lyricist. Los better than damn near everyone when it comes to straight bars.

      1. How high were you when you typed this??? Don’t be mad cuz the white boy IS the best lyricist in the game and possibly GOAT

        1. Lol Em is definitely not the best. You must not listen to other rappers haha. Eminem is super corny. Subject matter is trash. Everyone knows he can rap but it don’t matter if all you talk about is how good you are and weird shit.

      2. If you think it all about culture you are stuck on a racist funk like everyone else. Hip hop is an ART not a Culture. We allow Puerto Rican and Hispanics to engage but when a white person works hard at his art them he is not accepted. As much as black people fight for equality we dont think the same way.

      3. Lupe Fiasco ??? Dawg. And you qualified impact/classic albums. That’s a reach. Maybe those new jacks for YOU had more impact. But those new jacks were all influenced by EM. So…. You stupid ass

        1. Dude you don’t need to talk Hip Hop if you questioning Lupe, someone who is head and shoulders about Eminem when it comes to lyricism and constructing albums.

      4. Your an isiot you didnt put slick rock or big pun but you put kanye west I’m not even a em fan but I know a clout chaser when I see it you dumbass good luck chasing

        1. Only an idiot would think someone is chasing clout in the comment sections of a hip hop page. Like I can really gain some notoriety from engaging with you folks

        1. Dude if you’re losing IQ points that easily you should get checked out. Like I’m really gonna apologize because of some typos.

      5. You picked all the same ones that most others have when trying to argue Em’s talent. Funny how, close to, all of them would argue that whole point with you. They actually have. To each it’s own.

    6. How stupid is this guy!!!. Is it too much like hard work if he did a bit of research!!! Eminem is 47, not 50!. What a stupid and thick person is he.

    7. It was a challenge created by Dolly Parton (74 years old) and many celebrities much older than Eminem have participated. I think MGK got even dumber in 2020.

      1. Along with some of the idiots in the comment section. They are just looking for anything to trash talk Em. They really are running out of stuff at this point.

    8. This being the same guy that Tweeted about Em’s underage daughter 8 years ago and has been eating off it ever since? Also, the person that started the meme is that started the meme is in her 70s.

    9. Only reason Eminem disses mgk in this album was mgk kept talking about rap good how he won and dissed Eminem on songs on his album he dropped

    10. Fuck you mother fuckera. Fuckin peice of shits. Mother fuckers. Son of a bitch. Mother fuckees. Mother fuckin peice of shit. Mother fuckers.

    11. This kid’s last album sold like 35,000 copies and the latest album of the man he calls irrelevant sold 350,000 copies in 5 days. He should be ashamed of himself.

    12. This kid’s last album sold like 35,000 copies and the latest album of the man he calls irrelevant sold 350,000 copies in 5 days. He should be ashamed of himself.

    13. This kid’s last album sold like 35,000 copies and the latest album of the man he calls irrelevant sold 350,000 copies in 5 days. He should be ashamed of himself.

    14. Dam straight bro you did it right if that punk bitch is claiming to be anything other than such well he ain’t said shit relative…….well ever wap

    15. I feel bad for MGK the only thing that makes him relevant now is Em, literally MGK article he’s just answering questions about Eminem. Guess that “live in my shadow” line is facts

    16. Point blank period. Ita hip hop. Who spits better? Em. Done. And i am a mgk fan so no hatin over here. Just facts.

    17. I didnt know having a #1 album was being desperate to be relevant. MGK lucky if he go #20 for a week with 15k in sales and a billion youtube views with the hottest rapper in the game

    18. Is he saying that a 47 year old is doing a meme challenge trying to be relevant when the challenge was created by a 85 year old?

    19. Twitter beef aside Em dropped another dud. Music to be murdered by is another shining example of his horrible beat selection mixed with a need to try and flow like the kiddies are doing it today. His wordplay is fantastic and his flow is downright disgusting on so many tracks but if he keeps letting his midwestern bowling alley at 2am beat selection dictate his album content its gonna be dud after dud until he retires

      1. How is 10 consecutive #1 albums being a dud give credit when it’s due if u don’t listen fine but can’t say he’s garbage or had no wordplay cause then u just butt hurt

      2. Somebody’s a hater ? I prefer his Eminem’s music, but every one who says he’s no good always does it subjectively. They’re already predisposed to not like him so they’re quick to hate ??Having said that, I’ve listened to MGK, and he has a “style”, but it just isn’t “music to my ears”. He has a fanbase, so he’s got talent. Just the majority prefer Em. He should just live with that and work toward his own careers success/growth.

    20. They are friends just a ploy to make media stir and money… both of them are devil worshippers too… isn’t that shit what Eminem wrote about in the past….MGK’s music is no good….Eminem’s music isn’t good so they are tied

      1. How you get to them being friends is beyond me. Em doesn’t need to pull publicity stunts to be relevant. He was before and after the whole MGK crap. If Em was trying to be relevant and using publicity to get album sales, he would have promo’d the last two albums.

    21. Of course he is most his fanbase is 25+ he wants that bulky 15-24 demographic thats making all these xan poppin lean guzzlin dick suckers famous so he preaches about SJW and woke topics hoping he strikes chords and increases his fanbase guys gotten pathetic or at least his clone has anyway

      1. That is so ridiculous. None of his sound or lyrics would the younger generation relate to. 18 yr old and above listen to Em not sure why you think it’s 25+. If you actually listened or got the lyrics you would know this generation of clowns don’t even know the references he’s making. You honestly sound pathetic.

    22. Ain’t no one give no mother fuck about no mgk, haha he’s a poser, he’s fake as shit, and he is all talk, he tries to act all hard and shit but we all know the truth, he ain’t about that life.

    23. MGK believe me I have a 12 year old son who listens to all Em’s music!!! He actually wanted all Em’s CD’s for Christmas just so he can collect them because he listens to music on his phone!!!! MGK you say he is trying to be relevant to the younger generation which is bullshit but you are just wishing you are relevant, the only reason anyone says your name is because of Em so controls you idiot!!!

        1. Not sure where you’re getting your theory from. I listen to EM, one of my sons doesn’t even though he does listen to other hip hop artists and my other son use to years ago not even knowing I did. Since then he’s changed genres. So no if the parent is listening to an artist it doesn’t auto mean their kids are. Hell I never did lol

      1. Rip frobe #8 mamba #24 he was the reason I played played basketball in the first place and will always be remembered as one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

      2. Rip frobe #8 mamba #24 he was the reason I played played basketball in the first place and will always be remembered as one of the greatest basketball players of all time.

    24. MGK will never be named in the discussion of the G.O.A.Ts of hip hop. He’s only relevant due to Eminem. Ems,’s been going hard and putting out bangers since the 90’s. He’s grown and matured until people said being mature was overrated now that he’s back to being shady people mad he’s acting like a kid. Make up your motherfucking mind idiots. Damn

      1. Yeah em is so pathetic. His hypocrisy makes him look like a clown. MGK has my respect for being real and not a pissy bitch like em

        1. Not a pissy bitch? Dude wore a man bun.skinny ass eating a bowl of cereal while throwing shade smh.same size as the damn shovel he was holding.He ain’t even good enough to be em do bitch.

    25. Well since he got over 12 mil more subs on youtube since Kamakaze release & already 1 mil more after MTBMB – he’s got to be reaching some youth. I hear a lot of old Em on this album which would not be towards this generations youth, so no MGK he’s just better than you. Get over it. You just keep sounding butthurt every time you speak.

    26. Wait..why did they do an article about a tweet that MGK posted and caught so much heat that he pretty quickly deleted it?? LOL MGK taking L’s at every turn

    27. And mgk is trying to be loved by boomers by hanging out with motley Crue and a load of old people. Hang with your own age. Hypocrite

        1. How is em a hypocrite all mgk has been doing is talkin shit and getting mad everytime eminems name is mentioned. Not ems fault mgk cant sell records

    28. He’s right, for gods sake Eminem shit talked mumble rappers then went out and made a whole mumble rap album. If this hypocrisy doesn’t confirm MGK’s claim then idk what will.

      1. You sound dumb as fuck u must not know what mumble rap is lmao rofl. Nothing on this album can be considered mumble rap get off mgks nut sack

      2. Sorry then you obviously dont know what mumble rap is ….Em doesn’t mumble rap..look up mumble rappers before responding or replaying plz and thank you…

    29. Relevant? Serious bro? Let me tell you how its gonna be ok MGK…In 50 years they are gonna still be talking about 3 names in Hip Hop and youre not one of them. Tupac Shakur, The Notorious BIG, and Eminem. So your comment about him being relevant is redundant and uneducated on your part. Eminem pioneered the way for you to even be taken serious clutching that microphone that you hold bro. So back the fizzuk up

    30. Machine gun Kelly and Nick Cannon are fuckin punk mother fuckers man Eminem is iconic and a rap legend and will always be relavent and he was writing and preforming when those two where still boy scouts. They need to show him some damn respect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    31. Mgkelly really? I didn’t even read the article and you hyping yourself with a bad buzz or trying to hypnotize yourself into believing Em’ didn’t obliterated you your career your gimmick your momentum has ended I hope you did saved and did pop a Moet bottle champagne when you jizzed your pants cause he acknowledged you.
      To end this I’m french I have a degree in literature you SHOULD read a page or three in the dictionary Em’ is s poet even while swearing the way he constructs his bars is amazing.

      Btw pit of the us you are no one you soundclown mumble rappers you look like shit your are aight but not enough to make you an rap or style icon nobody’s even know the so called machine gun kelly but kelly is how we refer to every dumb blond bitch that ever could played in a 90’s Aaron Spelling trash sitcom.
      Take a sit bitch you went at this the way instead on never ever accepting questions about Em’ and show us what you got instead of still talking smack. I wish I could grab you beta bitch under my high heel snd make you my bitch pimp you out in jails you’d have material to rap about at least

    32. Machine gun Kelley is so irrelevant I did not know his ethnicity or what he even looked like until I saw he was mad at a legend for being a legend. Ahhh today’s youth, a homeless looking dirty white guy trying to rap. Well if you listen to the homeless kid then leave rap and go to homeless metal music because you shouldn’t walk in the guys footsteps that made it ok for a white guy to rap and succeed when you don’t respect him.

    33. LOL, desperate to be relevant? The only person desperate to stay relevant is MGK, only ever hear anything about him when he mentions Eminem.

    34. LOL, desperate to be relevant? The only person desperate to stay relevant is MGK, only ever hear anything about him when he mentions Eminem.

    35. Um WHERE did you think em made a mumble rap album? MGK is trash, he isn’t clever. He comes off as a dick. Every line em says has like 3 different meanings. That’s deep, that’s talent. MGK just wants to get his dick wet.

    36. This maybe true, Eminem is probabaly trying to be relevant to today’s youth. MGK is trying to be relevant at all. But I know, I know, “his beard is weird”. Fucking bum.

    37. On one hand while I will agree that Eminem is one of the greatest rappers alive I do believe that Colson Baker is a much better artist in my opinion. His music just speaks to me more and he can actually sing not just rap whereas Eminem cannot physically sing to me. Y’all of Eminem and I’m not putting him down but colson be getting me through some pretty though shit with his lyrics. #teammachinegunkelly #MGK #allcaps #hedeservesit

      1. I meant to say that I do love Eminem and Colton be getting me through some pretty tough shit. Talk to text sucks!!

      2. We already got Drake, and We don’t need another.
        -Joyner. You gotta check out that there is platform called Youtube where u can find some reaction and breakdown of em’s musics, lemme know if it’s still not speak to you enough. Lol.

    38. Mgk ur a bitch ur just mad cause you got fuckin destroyed in a rap battle with a 50 yr oold mqn that will still be better then u whens hes 100?

      1. How you going to call another man you don’t even know a bitch? That must mean you are a bitch?? ? Must be another nut rider of m+m’s??? ?? And he didn’t get destroyed, you might want to listen again with an open mind and speak the truth like I do and don’t be another nut rider like most are with eminem. ? MGK destroyed him and buried all the rest and gossip going around. Quit being a fuckin hater???

    39. Thought this guy was doing pop-punk now? MGK is in his late 20’s/early 30’s making music that gained popularity through middle school children. Is that not the same thing he is claiming for Em?

      1. Also, its a dead genre. the biggest pop-punk bands are making straight up pop music these days. Let it die Kells, let it die.

    40. Mgk a ex fanboy with trash albums and a microscopic fanbase.
      Eminem latest album which was a step up from his previous one is better than anything goofy mgk has done.
      Go back and b a wack actor mgk!
      Mgk=?

      1. Eminem could literally fart into a microphone, and almost go #1. Eminem deserves that, as he made countless legendary, timeless records. With that said, it’s his former status of skill that has cemented his permanent popularity. It’s like Michael Jackson. His music before death kind of sucked, but it didn’t matter. He was always #1, and Eminem has that for hiphop.

    41. Sorry, but I’m going to have to side with MGK this time. Eminem is struggling to find relevant among new artists. His rap style is almost nowhere near is own. He may still have the bars, but Eminem doesn’t rap as Eminem. He raps because he doesn’t seem to have much of a choice. Many of his old Stans are well beyond grown up. He needs to stop caring on trying to colab to pop artists and collab with the remaining rappers of his generation while he still can.

      1. He wouldn’t be number 1 if he followed that shit. He’s number 1 for a reason and it’s NOT sticking with 90’s stuff. He’s still old school but with better writing, better production and overall with a new sound with that old sound still. You can say he doesn’t sound like Em all you like but well… It’s still sounds like Em. If he wasn’t an addict or having mental/social issues 25 years ago, nobody would have listened to him either. He would sound exactly as he does now. Grow up.

        1. Nah, he’s #1 because he’s the most popular rap artist in history. Revival sucked ass, still did well on the charts though. If Eminem made an album closer to what he made decades ago, it would have insane numbers! Most eminem haters of 2020, LOVE Eminem from decades ago, and are sad that he has become everything he once talked shit about.

    42. First of all f$#^& punk ass MGK your whack in my book and if it wasn’t for Em
      you would not be on a stage imitating black culture. Your not a true MC and yous spit trash.
      Never can you go against a 1000 percent legend. Hip hop isn’t about age only hip pop and to me it’s a scratched record playing the same thing over and over again. Not one whack rapper would be around if it wasn’t for the first school there is no bullshit we see and hear today. The reason why the Grammy’s doesn’t respect rap because it lost it heart so why respect garbage. Anyway fucking with grown experienced men will get you punished.

    43. MGK will always be a work horse for Diddy and will never reach house hold name level that Em has become. My Grandma would be like MG who? Oh Eminems that rapper guy?
      That alone speaks for itself!

    44. Eminem has always, and still is, and will for all time be the greatest rapper of all time. putting Mgk In the same conversation as Shady is like putting Tim
      Tebow intbe same conversation as Tom Brady, you just don’t do it! Shady is the reason why the new artists today even rap at all, he’s one of the legends with PAC, BIGGIE, BONE, Bottom line period!!!!! Mgk has some skill’s but NEVER will be in anywhere near Eminem. Who ever thinks differently doesn’t know real Hip Hop what so ever and is a funny ass clown.

      1. That’s a fact, but Eminem has been making NON Legendary music for too long… He needs to retire. If old eminem from 1998-2010 didn’t exist, then he wouldn’t be a GOAT. But, Eminem in his prime was a monster! Him and Pac could have murdered any artist on wax, easily! Idk who could do that better, Em or Pac… EM perfected that style, but Pac would have upped his Ante after Em hit the scene.

        1. Your predictions are as whack as your whole paragraph. You don’t know shit. Em’s wordplay continues to evolve. Listen carefully then come back and delete this irrelevant babbling

    45. Eminem is in a whole nother world compared to kelly..i dont know nobody who listens to kelly it bullshit rap…plz i would take 100 yr old Em before i would listen to that bullshit kelly does

    46. Remember Binge ep? No? That’s what i thought.
      50 year olds appealing more to the youth than 25 yo kelly, gotta hurt

    47. Funny MGK you hated by more of your fans than loved eminem is now and always will be more relevant than you. He dont have to try to be relevant to the youth he already is dumb ass.

    48. This is hilarious, wasn’t this “trending meme” started by 74 year old Dolly Parton to begin with?? Man MGK just keeps making himself look dumb and jelly. Literally the only thing he can flaunt over Em and keeps hammering is how he is younger. Who cares? I listen to music that moves me. I don’t give a damn what the artist looks like, how old or young they are, fat, skinny, etc. That’s some shallow thinking sh*t. Em raps cause he loves the art, I doubt with his millions and ridiculous success he feels “desperate to appeal to the youth”. He’s a legend who loved what he does and just wants his work to be appreciated. And it is.

    49. MGK is a ok… Em is FU@KEN IMMACULATE, INCREDIBLE, and very much TALENTED. Em plowed the way for that non going ungreatful S.O.B. REAL TALK ? White cat rappers are out there along with brown, yellow, red, black, Em is FUCKEN PIONEER that let all white rappers know to be realdo you. Don’t get me wrong Vanilla Ice has cool, but gone and melted.

    50. I would put Kelly in the group of comparison of ICP, and Vanilla Ice… Cause Em is the Michael Jordan of hip hop… Many will come close, but none ever replace him..!! Kobe was Kobe, but he will never be MJ!! Word to your mother!!
