Machine Gun Kelly’s “Binge” EP Album Sales Fail To Capitalize On Eminem Beef

    Even with the highly publicized beef with Eminem, Machine Gun Kelly’s Binge EP apparently wasn’t on everyone’s wish list. According to HITS Daily Double, the project sold roughly 21,519 total album equivalent units in its first week with 9,000 of those being pure album sales.

    Albums such as Mac Miller’s SWIMMING, Drake’s Scorpion and — of course — Em’s Kamikaze all reportedly sold more units.

    By comparison, Slim Shady’s Kamikaze album sold around 433,000 total album equivalent units upon its release late last month and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

    MGK has been doing his best at capitalizing on his rift with Em. On September 3, he released “Rap Devil” as a response track to Shady’s jab at him on the Kamikaze cut “Not Alike” and quickly started flaunting Rap Devil gear.

    The taunting continued throughout the month of September after Em fired back with “Killshot.” 

    Since then, things have seemingly quieted down — for now. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]

    1. MGK’s ego is too big for his own good. In this case the player thought he was bigger than the game. The player was wrong. What a rat trap.

    2. Mg k is a fraud and liar,you see him on charlamenge, lied about everything records sales the beef and how long it took him to drop album and charlamenge s fucking ball sack !!!

    3. Killshot, short agony, death, rip Kelly or should I say Lil Goof. Thank you for bringing Shady back. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten

    4. Uhhh…. yall think that MGK was gonna start selling like Em, Drake, and RIP big Mac Miller??? Just because he dropped a fairly decent diss track that Em responded too and we are all done with? Nuh Plz

    5. how much did shady records pay yall for this garbage? sales are that bad for an ep by someone like mgk. wtf were u expecting 300k??

      1. Well, all that publicity from the beef should’ve boosted the sales a lot higher than this. I didn’t expect him to do even close to Em’s numbers, obviously. But more than… This.

    6. Him going after Em is the same as Jay goin after big daddy kane or takin. Don’t aim for the originator unless severely dissed or disrespected.

    7. Em is the most worse rapper of all time, white boys can’t rap, white boys messing up hip-hop big time. The two most fail white rapper’s in history. If pac and big was still alive this losers wouldn’t be around. Only white boys listen to this fail wanna be thugs

      1. every single lyricist praise Em and say the white boy can spit. Em even got to produce an entire Pac album and a few biggie joints. you probably should understand hiphop so you don’t sound so foolish boy. my black ass puts him in top 5

      2. You sound stupider than you uncle tom boy..kanye west.. you’re just too illiterate to understand true skill and STOP calling yourself cashville when your broke ass still in the hood!!!

    8. Ha ha that’s what you get. Mgk you been out for along time and you still can’t make a hit you prick. It backfire on you Ha Ha

    9. MGK asked for this beef, kept pushing for it and still can’t put up numbers? I liked rap devil, but not alike and kill shot went harder, especially the latter. I gave binge a few spins outta curiosity, but that album is trash. MGK will never be more relevant than he is now.

      1. Someone’s butt hurt cuz his hero can’t rap.

        This was about MGK failing miserably yet you try to deflect and make it about Em.

        You poor soul.

        Find another hero.

        1. I’m not a fan of enima either. But MGK tried to use the diss to boost his obviously failing career. In the end EM has one of the highest viewed videos on YouTube and MGK falls flat on his face.
          Funny how EM’s terrible music is still outselling MGK’s best music. MGK needs to get out of the business

          1. terrible music? you dont know shit you wack cocksucker if ems music is terrible than so is the entire industry. you dont have to like it but dont discredit his lyricism that MGK cant even come close to achieving. fuck off

          2. terrible music? okay so that means every other rapper in the game is trash if thats what youre applying, youre obviously a troll, go fuck yourself

      2. Who are u 1 out of a millions who cant see shady the goat and i fuck with mgk but he picked the whong one to tangle with and really disappointed me threw this whole ordeal

    10. It’s because it was garbage, and I’m a fan. I was hoping for something else, but it’s what he wanted to do.

    11. Damn, that hurts! I think Em’s first album (infinite) which was recorded in a house basement before he signed with Dre sold more than 9,000 physical copies, LMAO! so you’re signed to Diddy, beefing with Eminem and that’s all you can sell? MBK, please have a seat next to Benzino and Ja…

    12. Eminem is a Battle Rapper…MGK is a Bitch who couldn’t battle ever… Never ever ever…none of these New School Bitches can battle…that’s what makes EM a goat … even the Old school didn’t want to fuck with EM…ever.. Canibus was the closest to Em’s skills…and he fell off…

        1. Wow you really don’t know do you.. IDK what you listened too. But the rest of the world heard the real thing & MGK IS DONE ,, HE SUCKED, MY 10 YEAR OLD COULD HAVE DONE BETTER.

      1. No the fuck he didn’t, Rap Devil is just a shallow diss track that merely poke fun of Em’s age, his sobriety, his facial hair, and his so-called “irrelevancy.” Em took all that and proved in “Killshot” how even at the beginning of his career he outsold MGK’s entire life. How he would rather be his 80 year old than 20 year old MGK since again, he’s sober and past the age of being a party animal unlike MGK who’s still mentally a brat. As for his “irrelevancy,” Em who is at his lowest point of his career still made very strong album sales to the point where he reached #1 for the 9th consecutive time. MGK did not damage Em’s career at all, but instead became a laughing stock.

        1. Its barely a “low point” though, Eminem is still doing HUGE numbers, Kamikaze became the BEST SELLING hip hop album of this year in terms of pure sales even though it was just a SURPRISE album released with ZERO PROMOTION. It may be a “low point” for someone like Eminem who is the BEST SELLING RAPPER OF ALL TIME and BEST SELLING ARTIST OF 21ST CENTURY but it’s barely a “low point” if you look at hip hop industry in general

      2. So you missed all the stuff that required actual thinking to get it all? Check out the Genius page for Killshot, then you’ll know too. It requires some thinking. MGK has none of that, but apparently you like your music that way, which is fine – just don’t tell people that MGK’s diss did anything to Em’s career. It simply lacks the bars.

    13. Kelly earned some stripes with the diss. dusted Eminem on that. both new albumz trash. track 1 on the new Eminem is fire but his voice no good anymore overall. eminems shit used to be thuggin. bring that back. kellys song was thuggin but his image makes me barf. Slim shady proved to me he still got it with track 1 on kamikaze.

      1. You really think bitch boy dusted him? That just tells me you are absolutely clueless about bars. Em absolutely destroyed him with killshot. The fact that kelli had enough balls to respond was respectable, but every line was elementary, at best. He’s a garbage mc with very little actual talent. The fact that you think the entire kamikaze album is trash shows how little you know about real hip hop. Go back to sleep rook bitch…

    14. What I don’t get is Diddy and I’m glad EM had a little something for his azz with the ‘digging your own grave’ and ‘pac’ lines. Why would Diddy approve ‘Rap Devil’ when he knows that MGK aint NOWHERE near on EM’s level? And on top of that he let MGK release ‘Binge’. He let that man commit career suicide. Why? Is MGK going rogue and just doing what he wants to do or does Diddy just not care? Maybe Diddy is losing his music sense being all up in Cassie.

      1. You know diddy and em are both signed to his label right? Diddy knew mgk was already pretty underground and wasnt going to sell many albums regardless so he was a sacrifice of sorts for him.

    15. There’s a good reason why the best of beef rappers (The Game, 50 cent, even Jay Z) stayed the away from controversy with Em. 50 cent said he will eat any rapper like a meat loaf. The Game said “stay away from the white boy”. MGK is not only out of place in comparison to these rappers, lyrically, he’s not even an Em equal. The 5-minute entertainment is over, now he’s realizing quickly what a career suicide he just committed

        1. Um so is MGK look at the labels Em – Shady After Math Interscope… MGK Bad Boy Entertainment Interscope. It was a set up and you all fell for it.

          1. Fell for it? Bruh if they were trying to sell mgk as an artist then they chose the wrong way to do it. Getting your name trashed and selling only 20k albums after a beef with em and you think that was in the labels favor?

          2. How many big label companies are really out there. Interscope has their hands in a lot so of course the could be beef between artist on the same label. Too many conspiracy theories.

    16. Has ANYONE listended to “Not Alike”??

      There was no real reason Em needed to respond to MGK – it seems that no one is listening to the song that Eminem put out that triggered the MGK diss track Rap Devil…

      Eminem smokes em on that track – it ended before it ever began

      1. Either u r retarded. Or dumb. Whateva the fuck u r. An animal, a roach, abitch ass pussy. Stop commenting cz other than gay ass music ur worth shit. Eminrm is the Goay and i bet ur mamas ass u know nothing of him fkn useless soul.

      2. Lol EMINEM is irrelevant ? Bruh Kamikaze is the BEST SELLING hip hop album of this year in terms of pure sales even though it was just a SURPRISE album released with ZERO PROMOTION.

        Eminem is not only the best-selling rap artist of all-time, but one of the best selling artists of any musical genre, with over 200 million worldwide sales. The day Eminem becomes irrelevant will be the day the whole hip hop genre becomes irrelevant because he’s the most successful in this genre, FACTS ARE FACTS !

    17. Give mgk his props rap devil was good he burnt em on that 1 but even his real look a like had a 1 hit wonder with ice ice baby…… Everyone will remember eminem in twenty years mgk will be forgotten next month

    18. Give Kelly credit rap devil was pretty good and I am an eminem fan but truthfully even Kelly’s real look alike had a1 hit wonder with ice ice baby everyone gonna know who eminem is in twenty years ain’t no one gonna even remember mgk in 6 months

    19. If you want a good white on white rap battle then it has to be Eminem vs Madchild. MGK is good when he’s not auto tuned and trying to beef. Ive always liked him but this isnt his style.

    20. Mgk doesn’t sell that good to begin with,his last album sold over 40k and the one before that was 50k.he will always be bottom shelf

    21. Mgk is trash,this was the worse album sold yet, only 20k,lmao. His last album did 40k & 50k before that one.Even after his preschool diss on the Goat he still failed miserably.

    22. Lol MGK got the clout of his lifetime from dissing Eminem and he STILL sold only 21k ? LMAO
      Kamikaze on the other hand is the BEST SELLING hip hop album of this year in terms of pure sales even though it was just a SURPRISE album released with ZERO PROMOTION. Eminem is not only the best-selling rap artist of all-time, but one of the best selling artists of any musical genre, with over 200 million worldwide sales. MGK is so irrelevant that even Eminem’s biggest FLOP “Revival” sold more than ALL MGK’S ALBUMS COMBINED and the spare copies will probably outsell all mgk’s future albums too lol
