Machine Gun Kelly responds to Eminem with diss track ‘Rap Devil’

Machine Gun Kelly, who has cited Eminem as one of those who inspired him to become a rapper, has written a song called “Rap Devil”, a mischievous riff on Eminem’s “Rap God.” In that song, Kelly has taken a dig at Eminem’s beard to his sanity. He also says that Eminem is “sober and bored” and that he sounds “like a bitch.” Kelly also says he is sick of Eminem’s “sweatsuits and them corny hats” and that he is rich and is still mad. He also says they have a commonality in that they are both single dads and hail from the American midwest.

The lyrics begin with, “Ayy, somebody grab him some clippers (Zzz)/ His f***ing beard is weird/ Tough talk from a rapper paying millions for security a year/ “I think my dad’s gone crazy,” yeah, Hailie, you right/ Dad’s always mad cooped up in the studio, yelling at the mic/ You’re sober and bored, huh (I know).”

im standing up for not just myself, but my generation. im doing the same shit you did back in ur day. life is still real on my side, and i had to take time from the grind to defend myself from someone i called an idol. love, Rap Devil.

The song continues, “I’m sick of them sweatsuits and them corny hats, let’s talk about it/ I’m sick of you being rich and you still mad, let’s talk about it.”
