A lot of people are going nuts over the hype revolving the diss track "Not Alike" that Eminem (Marshall Mathers) released on August 31 and Machine Gun Kelly (Richard Colson Baker) releasing "Rap Devil" on September 3. Although the track puts a handful of rappers on the roast the Machine Gun Kelly diss stood apart from the others.

The beef dates back to 7 May 2012 when Machine Gun Kelly tweeted "Ok so I just saw a picture of Eminem's daughter... and I have to say, she's hot as fuck, in the most respectful way possible cuz Em (referring to Eminem) is king." Although Machine Gun Kelly played it off as a joke it rubbed Eminem as long as many worldwide the wrong way for his daughter was only sixteen years old at the time.

Although Eminem never spoke publicly on the matter until releasing his diss track but Machine Gun Kelly spoke publically about how Eminem took it seriously and was out to get him. While at an interview with Hot 97 a radio podcast station in 2017 Machine Gun Kelly touched upon the subject stating "I'm my favorite rapper alive. Since my favorite rapper banned me from Shade 45". What he means by this is that he has the utmost respect for Eminem but since he said something foolish when he was a kid he now has to deal with the repercussions of not being able to do business with certain places and people due to Eminem. In his case, he believed that Eminem was out to get him over something that happened half a decade ago.

This takes us to August 31st when Eminem released his diss track "Not Alike" on his surprise album Kamikaze. On the album, he goes on to "diss" many A-list artists such as Lil Yachty, Vince Staples, Lil Pump, and many more. What stood out is he dedicated an entire track to diss Machine Gun Kelly called "Not Alike." Eminem raps "If you wanna come at me with a sub, Machine Gun / And I'm talkin' to you, but you already know who the f*ck you are, Kelly / I don't use sublime and sure as f*ck don't sneak-diss / But keep commenting on my daughter Hailie." Eminem clearly addressed the 2012 tweet reminding him not to speak about his daughter.

Check out the full track below:



It only took only four days for Machine Gun Kelly to come back with a diss track of his own called "Rap Devil" where he addresses all the struggles that he has been through while throwing "shots" at Eminem. He starts the song right off by saying "Tough rapper paying millions for security a year" stating that Eminem is not the tough guy that says he is. Kelly then follows up with "I think my dad's gone crazy'/yeah Hailie you right.../ Dad's always mad, cooped up in the studio, yelling at the mic", ignoring Eminem's warning about talking about his daughter while calling him crazy.

He goes on to call Eminem's jumpsuits are corny and how since he lives a luxurious life he should stop all the "thuggery" meaning the tough guy persona. Machine Gun Kelly ends his track by saying that Eminem is the greatest rapper of all time but should put down the mic since his last four albums were "trash". From the two diss tracks Machine Gun Kelly emphasizes that Eminem is a hero of his but that he does not stand for his bullying and will stand up for himself. Check out Machine Gun Kelly's full track below:

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
