While in Austin, Texas for SXSW, Machine Gun Kelly spoke with infamous interviewer Nardwuar, who surprised the Cleveland, Ohio native with a handful of records. During the chat, Nardwuar handed over an autographed Anti-Flag album, which MGK claimed was one of his favorite bands as a kid.
“This was probably one of my favorite bands growing up, definitely a huge influence on me in middle school. I fought to get the theme song for our DVD we have coming out. God dude, this is fucking nuts,” he said, giving Nardwuar a hug.
He also accepted a copy of Ludacris’ Word of Mouf album, which he says was one of the first rap albums he ever heard.
“I was actually on a road trip and me and my friend were in the backseat. His dad was taking us. In my CD player was Limp Bizkit, Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water. And in his CD player was this record right here. He was like, ‘Dude switch with me.’ And we switched and I listened to this, and I heard ‘Roll Out’ and everything else on here. I was like, man, fuck that shit, I’m going to listen to this. This and DMX were what started me up. “

Very good interviewer.
Its not your opinion I hate..it’s the all capital letters. Or just you personally cuz you are one hell of a douchebag
Note to Ludacris…go kill yourself for inspiring this loser..rofl

This dude sucks why did Eminem have to inspire white “rappers” like MGK who have only listened to like a few rap albums.
anyone who brings up white rappers and compares them in any fuckin way should be banned from hip-hop because of how ignorant they sound.
people really need to stop actin like Eminem was the first white rapper ever lmao
did you guys forget 3rd Bass, Beastie Boys, Vanilla Ice, ICP
Who is this Dwebb such a poser…I want to kick his ass
being himself makes him a poser?
that sounds ass backwards yo.
but you wont lay a finger on him so it would be pointless to say you want to kick his ass like….you wish for physical contact with him why exactly?
If a see another post of a fast rapping white guy I dont know what to do.
