Despite the success of Machine Gun Kelly’s “Invincible” 
featuring singer Ester Dean, MGK revealed in an interview with WILD 94.1 that he initially hated the song. And although he didn’t share the specifics he even went on to explain that there was some kind of contest between himself and the other rappers on Interscope involving the song.
“First off, I hated the song when I first did it because it was brought to me by corporate America,” Machine Gun Kelly revealed. “So basically Jimmy Iovine was like hey, first off they didn’t even come to me with the song, it was like a contest between the Interscope rappers like Yelawolf, Kendrick Lamar and myself, which I found out. It sucked and I hated it.”
During the interview Machine Gun Kelly explained that he was most offended by the fact that he wasn’t able to work with Ester Dean and producer Alex Da Kid directly on the song. Instead Dean’s hook was sent to him already completed.
“I don’t operate like that. I hate cookie cutter songs,” said Machine Gun Kelly. “You know like B.o.B with ‘Airplanes’ and the ‘Love The Way You Lie’ thing. You weren’t there making the song with each other in the studio. It was presented to you. I write all my hooks…So when I got this hook I was offended. You guys think I’m a cookie cutter artist. I don’t work like that. And I’ve never talked to Ester Dean in my life. I’ve never talked to the producer who’s Alex Da Kid who makes those cookie cutter records.”
The rapper had a bit of a change of heart in regards to making “Invincible” when he found out that people were actually being fired because of his unwillingness to go in the studio and complete the song.
“We’re in Detroit they call, they booked a studio. You have to do this. You have, have to, have to, have to. Like people are getting fired. And people really were getting fired over it,” MGK explained. “Cause they’re like, ‘You can’t make this petty new artist on our label go do a song? And this is the boss asking for it?’”

interscope is wack, alex da kid is wack, machine gun kelly is slightly less wack
this dude is all image. He’s just saying that shit to be “real” this is the only song I’ve heard that i actually like by him even though it is commercial, its still pretty dope. Funny that he hates the oly thing most people know him for. He hated it so much he even shot a video for it.
WOW, he took aim at Eminem! Commercial or not he shits on everything you love MGK!
hshs
Interscoope is wack!!
Jim Kelly was Machine Gun Kelly. Not this whack fuck

Does that mean there are lost Kendrick and Yela verses out there? o__O
ILLUMINATI
BACK IN BUSINESS
show biz you god damn fucking under achiever
When I heard the song I thought his flow sounded like B.O.B and the hook was a rip off of Love The Way You Lie, so he is dead on with mentioning those songs as examples of cookie cutter. MGK welcome to real world of being a major label artist.
dude has a tat est 1990
Thats your job dude, your boss knows a thing or 2 so u might wanna listen to him / I gotta do shit my boss tells me to do everyday I dont want to
Hahah, am sure Charles Hamilton went through the same thing as well as Wale, and Kendrick Lamar is probably being forced to do wack songs just to sell
this new wack kid of theirs, Chief Keef will probably go through the same thing
Jimmy Iovine is a slave master who does not give 2cents about Hip Hop
He turned Eminem into a Pop Hop artist
the last Dr Dre single “I Need A Doctor” is sum commercial pop bullshit
Jimmy you suck big time boss…BIG TIME!!!!
You fucking up this beautiful art of hip hop just to get rich and buy yatchs and private jets…where is the appreciation of the art over greed?
Its people like you that make us black people inferior to other races by constantly forcing artist to do garbage songs just to move units. FUCK YOU MAN!!!!
TREU
TREU……

Uhhhh, I aint inferior to nobody bruh. Fuck what you talkin bout. You was coo up until that point.
gotdamn props to mgk for at least acknowledging that this song is wack and sound like airplanes, love the way you lie,ect. dont nobody wanna hear that shit all the time. you can make a commercial song without it sounding like a commercial for army recruitment. i thought i was the only one not feeling that shit. oh and that also goes for my life by slaughterhouse.not the lyrics just the beat and vibe.
MANG, FUCK YOU! I GOT FIRED COZ OF YOUR PUNK ASS. BOI IF I EVER SEE YOU IN THE STREETS OOOOOWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEE IT’S ON BWOI, WATCH YA SELF. BETEER GET YO SELF A GUN BWOI. LIL BITCH ASS NIQQA.

Wow, what a fucking idiot.
Lmfaooooo
Welcome to the music industry youngin. Now that you’re in, maybe you should educate yourself with some of the hip hop in from the 90’s. There’s quite a bit of songs that speak on how terrible it is to make music within the music industry.
Greatest White Rapper Ever
R.A. The Rugged Man
celph titled
Chet Haze
There u have it folks. These rappers do not control the music. They can make the best song ever if the label didn’t write & approve the song it ain’t seeing the light of day. Question is which rappers sold the soul & which ones didn’t?
alex da kid made “words i never said” Fool
Alex the kid is not cookie cutter producer.
MGK is wack!!!
Fuck Lace UP
Words I Never Said was a cookie cutter song. Lupe just made it dope.
The Illuminati gonna come in, strap tape around his mouth and butt fuck him if he don’t comply! When Jimmy tells his hoes to jump, they ask how high, and toss a baby in the air instead. Kelly better get in line before the KY comes out!!
WOW WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS KID TALKIN BOUT .. HE SHOULD BE LUCKY HE IS EVEN SIGNED AND JIMMY IOVINE EVEN FUCKIN W/HIM IF IT WASN’T FOR DIDDY/IOVINE HE WOULD BE STILL FLIPPIN BURGERS AT BURGER KING.. KID IS A FREAKSHOW DOPE RAPPER AT TIMES, BUT HONESTLY HIS ALBUM WONT BE OUT ANYTIME SOON AND TALKIN BOUT EM AND B.O.B HE PLAYIN W/FIRE.. GOD I HOPE WOLF PUTS HIM IN HIS PLACE.. MGK DONT TAKE YOUR TIME FOR GRANTED CUZ HONESTLY U HAVENT DONE MUCH IN HIP HOP WORLD BESIDES BITCH BOUT THIS AND THAT.. FOLLOW YELA’S STEPS AND YOU MIGHT AMOUNT TO SUMTHIN .. SHADY/SLUMERICAN HI HATERZ !!!!
I feel the same way!I met him and N9ina a few weeks ago and he was a dick!
What black people are failing to derive from this man is this is the way the industry have killed many black mens career by trying to force songs on artist that may hurt their credibility. Granted some songs that they do this with work- then there are 15 more that don’t work and then they shelve you and put out rumors you don’t write your own hooks; so instead of trying to clown MGK for being transparent, dudes should be paying attention in order to keep your integrity
oh my gosh. cutest rapper eva!!!
this is why the music industry is going downhill…….MICROWAVE MUSIC….EVERYTHING DONT GO TOGETHER AND THAT ALEX DA KID SHIT IS NOT FOR EVERYONE…..THIS IS CLEARLY A CORNY RECORD AND DOESNT FIT DUDE AT ALL…I SEE WHY SCARFACE TECH9NE AND LOTS OF ARTIST ARE STARTING TO STAY INDY…..THEY FUCK UR WHOLE STYLE UP THEN DISCARD U
So you trash the song that is making you popular? Dumb ass. It’s not like you got years of hits in your future.
Better be known I got the throne like I dont know that theres a king
Never grew up around a family because Im not a human being
And anyone under my bubble thats coming in my spot, for the top
Let em have it, cause when I leave, the whole world drops
Lace up Kells
basura
basura!
…basura!
…basura, son!
All you house niglets really need to respect MGK for saying what black men can’t say and what they allow white men to say without consequences. If a brotha or a latin dude was spitting this knowledge behind the scenes he would be punished. Racism still exist and MGK is telling dudes the tricks of how they pit artist on the same company against each other to try to control you. Eminem was just like this when he came out- talking shit about everyone, but let blacks do it and then you step n fetch n niglets are scared hunching in the fetal position, like ‘Don’t talk about master!” get some balls and take his knowledge and beware
What the house niglets need to to is study history..Even the history of their own culture before assuming…Blacks have been saying this since hip hop was conceived…Public enemy and a slew of others have been saying it since the 80’s and before then in the late 70’s…MGK just couldn’t get his way, he’s not talking about changing anything, or fighting to change anything…
You guys make a lot of good points; Now that you bring this to my attention-
I watched American Idol and then look at what MGK says and the same thing Jimmy Iovine does on there by trying to tell these Artist to be the “new version of old dead artist” is why the rappers are being failed deliberately. Originality and being authentic is discouraged by executives in this industry- Jimmy iovine does this bull to those artist on American Idol and none of them go anywhere after the show- then he turns around and tries to do it with rappers. In school we learned that maketing exist when you take old and new and infuse it together to make something original- but to keep telling artist to do things old and strangle them creatively is the reason rappers need to open their own business. Very depressing to know your set up for failure before you even get off the ground…
IT’S A SOCIETY ISSUE
IGNORANCE IS BLISS
KNOWLEDGE IS PUNISHABLE BY DEATH
MENTAL OR PHYSICAL
never heard the track hes talkin about buy im sure it was wack, just like all his other shit

Why are you saying “niglet”? That just sounds awful. Who or whatever you are, if you want people to read your comment, don’t insult your perceived audience with what appears to be a racial epithet.
This is the first time I heard this song, sounds like a typical Alex da Kid song… MGK sounds terrible.
EVERY RECORD LABEL SUCKS DICK
Too bad your music is garbage and is for mickey mouse generation of rap. Rebelious rap for ignorant kids you foogaze

Should have gone the independent route, but it does take money to be an independent artist. I hate the song and I have to agree it is a cookie cutter type of beat and hook, you could picture any of the artists he said on that beat just because thats how Interscope works as a company. Still not really a fan of MGK but if he possibly had some better beats then I would give him more of a chance.
fuck what you hate anyway
Fuck MGK’s clown ass anyway…
So why you write the song
