Yo to shed some light on this. I grew up on rap and metal. I was a fan of mgk back then and still now Was a fan of slipknot back then still now. Elitism is common in the rock community. When metal branched off into sub genres metal core party metal emocore etc people like cory did the same shit "oh thats not real metal" so this was expected. Metal elitist where shit then when the genre was popping they are worse now since metal isnt as popular now and you have rappers doing rock or metal shit pos elitist gonna hate
He is going to be doing K-pop next. Truth be told, the blame here lies with his management. How could they think booking him on a festival of actual heavy metal was a good idea? MGK's music is better suited to play alongside Limp Biskit, Blink 182, Fallout boy and shit like that than the line up he was playing with.
This is such a braindead reply, he was playing at riot fest, a mostly punk, not metal fest. And limp bizkit??? Limp Bizkit and slipknot are both nu metal, they arent at all a pop punk band lol
@@Funnivids100 cool story. I didn't mention slipknot not suggested they play with them. Limp Bizkit played on many of them type festivals with bands like I suggested and aren't really on the heavy metal your festival. BTW... do you not think it was a weird choice to have Limp Bizkit with Blink 182 and Weezer at the Inkartation festival in Ohio? Or how about the time that Machine Gun Kelly played a festival with My Chemical Romance and the Offspring?
He does have a point. Neither Eminem nor Slipknot act like mature people in their 50s. I mean I wouldn't either if I'd get their paychecks it's still pretty cheesy being a bitter 50 year old in the music industry. At least in my opinion.
@@derdude6214 dude remember ice t and soulja boy beef ? then 40 yrs old ice wasnt acting matured and was talking trash bout soulja back when he was only 17 . this is same shit here , ngl mgk now gonna start beefs in rock genre lol
@@pizzaseven1327 so, they're in their 50's what's your point? AND, this "started" because one if the 50 year olds was but hurt, and mouthed off. figured it'd go without reply. Kells don't play like that.
It's simple. Slipknot has earned their respect. They've paid their dues and the fans know it. Then when some guy who's more known for a whole other genre jumps over into rock and has the audacity to insult "on stage" a hugely popular band in the genre. It should be expected that he's going to get a lot of hate over it. Also, with other musicians that have gotten into beefs with Cory, it never works out for them. Cory will make you look like a fool with easy in interviews. Just ask Nickleback's front man.
mgk was bitchmade for hopping genres and immediately trying to start beef, but ngl cory just sounds like a bitter oldhead. this beef didnt really end up making either look any good, and just seems to have brought cory down to mgks level.
but…it looked to me like mgk wanted to do a song with Cory, since mgk wanted to edit his verse a bit he quit. Then Cory went on a show and said he hated him. Then mgk insulted slip knot. So like…he’s not just running around insulting bands the guy came for him 🤔. Im not a fan of either but that Corey guy looked petty in this situation
I think he might have thought starting a 'beef' for 'clout' would work the same in metal as it does for rap. It doesn't, at least not since the 80s. Most metal musicians do the opposite and give each other props even when they don't really like them.
MGK is really popular outside of the rap atmosphere. He doesn’t need to start any beef to be relevant. Slipknot came after him saying he failed in rap so that’s why he switched genres. Now I don’t agree with mgk firing back but I don’t blame him. Please educate yourself before you talk about things. Peace and Love 🙏🏻
The timing probably didn’t help MGK given that, according to a timeline of his beef with Corey Taylor, he dissed Slipknot just a couple of months after the death of Joey Jordison (original drummer, widely considered to be one of the greatest drummers in heavy metal history). Can only guess that the pain of his death was still prevalent amongst metal fans. Rock in peace Joey 🤟🏻
What MGK doesn’t understand about beef is it does not work the same in the rock world, you don’t disrespect the pioneers, I even hate it when young hip-hop artist do it to the O.G.s Who paved the way for them to even put food on their plate, but yeah the rock world already gave MGK zero respect,MGK disses Em, Moves genres and then goes after Corey Taylor, that’s just the art of career suicide
Disagree with a lot of this. Since when has rock been about paying respect to the ones before them? Punk rock and grunge were almost entirely created because they didn’t want to associate with the hedonistic rock stars of the 60s, 70s and, 80s. I think MGKs biggest mistake is the way he responds to any backlash, though I also think it’s been his biggest asset too.
@@mr.bubbles8351 I don't really care for the rap genre much, but I don't blame them. When you have people who are literal goofs now ruin the whole genre become the icons, it'll hurt the "OGs" for good reason.
@@twentyonetortas5921 Megadeth was origanly founded by Dave Mustaine to defeat Metallica. Dave was the original lead guitarist of Metallica and unfortunatly a violent drunk. Just before Metallica recorded their first album (kill em all) and made it big, they kicked dave out And replaced him with Kirk Hamett, who is Their guitarist to this day. Dave had remained bitter about it ever since and founded Megadeth to be a superstar, while his former band would play bingo Halls. Atleast that's what hé wanted Ans With 10 million albums sold,hé was quite succesful. Unfortunatly Metallica sold 100 million
I just realized. MGK literally has a daughter going to highschool pretty soon. I be forgetting he’s grown, the music he makes is very teen/highschool-esque.
Truth is just like he was trying to make a way into the hip hop community by dissing a massive legend, he's doing the same, even though he's really not metal in the slightest
As much as I don’t fuck with Mgk, he’s been huge since like 2012 lol he grinded to get where he is. Still wack though, that 16 year old outfit wearing fake pink guitar playing shit is weird
Uhmmm mgk been apart of the hiphop community way before he dissed em mgk dont get credit he was a good rapper and hes pretty good at the rock thing but he wasnt tryna make a way in hiphop he was established may have fell off but hey it happens the em thing was promo and if not then it shulda been cuz thats the only time yall talked about him but dont get it confused my guy dissing em wasnt him tryna make a name for himself in hiphop
MGKs biggest flaw is that he doesn't know that to become big you have to have humility and know that you have to crawl your way to the top. Just because he got signed to a top notch record label, doesn't mean he exactly made it big when especially when Eminem is the MVP artist and face of said company. Gotta earn your rate and show it in your art
wtf are you talking about? the guy worked his way to the top, I remember his first mixtapes and songs like 14 years ago and now he is having 2 no1 albums back to back. The guy literally came from nothing and worked himself to the top over a decade. Btw he got signed by bad boy and "Eminiem" is not the face of that company, its diddys label :D why are ppl spreading false information and just talk straight out of their ass while having no clue what they are talking about? Pls think about not making comments on the internet in the future.
I am a massive slipknot fan, so I'm just gonna point out exactly 20 years ago the same thing happened when Limp Bizkit called Slipknot fans fat ugly kids, however after 9/11 Limp Bizkit apologized
@@HotTea1111 well the thing is that Limp Bizkit and Slipknot pretty much shared a fanbase before this happened, so yeah actually. I will note that after this happened, limp Bizkit started to become a shell of what they once were.
@@comit7926 lol I didn't know that. I got into slipknot a few years ago and the only other slipknot fans I know are hot girls. Limp Bizkit is pretty irrelevant today and they look like they smell like hot dog water.
I think his sound is better expressed by other people. Also, it seems very manufactured for this guy who's well outta high school to market himself to a younger generation by acting rebellious and playing into teen issues. I just feel the things he says would feel more genuine if they came from someone of that age. That's just my opinion. If you completely disagree more power to you.
@@col_404 ur spittin, his music is alright but its done sm better by better artists. And its so shallow as well, seems like he trying too hard to fit into the aesethic
I think he’s just going overboard with the whole rock/metal thing. He should just do both rap and rock/metal. Why switch when you could do both? Making music for both hip-hop fans and rock fans will give you a lot more fans then someone who’s just does rap.
yeah rap rock is a pretty niche genre, groups like Hollywood Undead have been doing it for years but it just isn't as easy to bring together seamlessly as you think.
Jack-of-all-trades is the master of none. If you try to juggle both neither will probably be very good, And people generally only listen to the best music from a genre. Lastly hip hop and rock don't have that many crossover fans to be honest. Hiphop fans will probably hate the rock side and vice-versa leaving everyone feeling like the mixed album kinda sucked
MGK also said Eminiem's beard was weird in a rap diss and then goes on to wear a bedazzled beard at the VMA's. Irony is lost on MGK when he says he's glad "he's not on stage at 50 wearing a weird mask." He should probably stop dissing people.
I agree but the weird beard diss was a deep shot. Eminem made a comment in an interview decades ago at this point, saying he’ll stop rapping when he’s “old and his beard is weird.” So the diss was kind of funny to me because it sounds so out of pocket to most people but I’d seen the interview 😂
"‘Til we grow beards, get weird and disappear Into the mountains, nothin’ but clowns down here" ~ eminem on Business "He’s acting weird again, he’s really beginning to scare me Won’t shave his beard again and he pretends he doesn’t hear me" ~ eminem on deja vu "Grow your beard out, just weird out" ~ eminem on berzerk Mgk is turning eminems lines against him, which is common when dissing someone. Where is your point? This is literally battle rap...
MGK doesn't have anything against Slipknot to be exact but Corey from Slipknot. Corey Taylor did a verse for 'TIckets To My Downfall'. It wasn't a good enough verse so MGK decided not to add it. Corey for that, turned out to say something which wasn't quite pleasant-? maybe was a little toxic. Thus, MGK decided to talk back on Corey on-stage in one of his performances. MGK's tweet on corey was "corey did a verse for a song on tickets to my downfall album, it was fucking terrible, so i didn’t use it. he got mad about it, and talked shit to a magazine about the same album he was almost on. yalls stories are all off. just admit he’s bitter." It's simply a neutral situation and neither MGK or Corey should have the blame. Although Slipknot's fans overdrove the fact that MGK spoke of Corey and turned it out to look as 'a new beef between slipknot and mgk'.
@@oldtrash108 yeah he is also proving that he is a fanboy who knows what eminem said decades ago lmao. Even he said it with that intention it is still a big L.
That’s MGK’s thing, he wants to be hated by everyone. 1. It gives him hype and keeps his name in the mix 2. It’s part of his persona, his whole vibe is a ‘fuck everyone’ mentality 3. Dude knows how to market himself man, he knows what he’s doing. Even when his albums are trash, he manages to get them some type of clout
I agree with you, but at what cost?? This may work and be very well exactly what he’s doing. Even if fans like him the industry doesn’t respect him. he needs to market himself as a serious artist in his respective genre and not a god damn ass hat. Love his music, but not a fan the way he portrays himself
@@superultragiggachigga yall working on double standards cuz Corey is far more a pos than mgk and facts that Corey started the shit when he said " I hate that new rock music you know the one where the guy that fails at one genre then hops to the next " which btw stone sour did the exact same thing in the 90s when he hopped over to metal and formed slipknot 👀 then when that simmers down every 2-3 years they brought back stone sour and it became a success on the second launch because of slipknot . Anyways point being he's automatically the villain but there isn't a concert I've ever been to where they buy the entire concert a meal after the show mgk does that yall picked the wrong side to boast for cuz mgk is a good ass dude fed Cleveland for a week during the pandemic wtf has Corey done as a philanthropist??? Not a damn thing cuz he's an egotistical pos always has been always running his mouth on interviews about other artists and people clutch to that toxic bs I guess 🤣🤣 couldn't be me
I was born 1989 and growing up almost everyone listened too rock. Now I can't even find a radio station that plays it except for classic rock, which I also love. But now again it would be nice to hear some TOOL or Korn or other awesome rock bands. We need to BRING BACK THE ROCK!!!!!
I don't like him simply because of the weird ass comments he made about Eminems daughter and about some other underage girls in Hollywood that you seemed to skip over in this video. I don't know who it was he was talking about, but at one point he was talking about how he liked this underage girl that happened to be famous, and when questioned if maybe he should wait until she's 18 he said something along the lines of "it doesn't matter, she's famous." It's normal not to like this dude. I don't care that he's had a hard life. I don't care that he's had to deal with drugs. Dudes just a creep.
He collaborated with corpse, who goes on Twitter and makes flirtatious remarks with heart emojis towards his 90% underage fanbase, of which openly sexualizes him (it's borderline cult behavior) and obsesses. I wouldn't be surprised if he's friends with other creeps in the industry, and not just that clown.
It’s worse when you see his racist and color his comments knowing that he has a half black daughter he has blatantly disrespected his daughter and been racist to her. While being a deadbeat father and parenting Megan Fox’s kid and Megan Fox has gone on the record and said many times that he is not a trustworthy guy and a lot of shit he does it’s weird I don’t like him at all he said a lot of disrespectful shit and he’s just a shitty person and all of his fans are literally pedophiles at least from what I know
That's the right mentality. Under the surface, a lot of musicians are probably assholes, at least MGK isn't shy about it. Just listen to whatever you like.
Hotel Diablo is his best album arguably and his perfect lane. He needs to go back to rap but keep the rock elements akin to Limp Bizkit or Linkin Park but more modern.
"The only thing worse than being a 50 year old wearing a mask. Is being a 31 year old still acting like the highschool reject who just wants to kiss the girl"... Dude you should get paid more
Rock community member here: In spite of being someone who also likes hip hop, I didn't really give much MGK's stuff much attention, his pop punk album was cool and that put him on the map for me, listening to his older stuff I tended to like the fusing of rock elements into some of his hip hop stuff. I like that he has some attitude and is bringing that into rock. He's right about the comfy shoes... The general vibe amongst my rock friends is that he's cool but he shouldn't be disrespecting established names. Having said that though, fans of pop punk are not necessarily fans of Slipknot. The two genres aren't worlds apart in the grand scheme of things but within Rock/Metal as an umbrella, it's like comparing modern Trap and 90's Boom-Bap. So tbh, the overlap isn't really there other than the fact that all these bands get chucked on to the same festival because they're all 'rock'. So if some metalheads wanna go boo him at a festival, probably ain't an indication of his popularity in the genre he's actually making.
exactly. people are acting like he’s losing fans over this. im pretty sure majority of his fan base don’t listen to slipknot at all. they probably listen to artists like yungblud, lil peep, jxdn, blink, and artist more along those lines
Even I know that you shouldn't diss slipknot and I'm not heavily invested in rock he needs to listen to his pr or hire better people to guide his career because right now his management is shit
the funny thing about that show where MGK insulted Slipknot was they were booked at the same show playing at the same time. people were leaving MGKs show to go watch slipknot. MGK is all about his ego
only reason I don't like about mgk is his attitude, he's like a child that toss a tantrum when he doesn't get his way or what he wants. he pick fights with legends of the genre he currently in and expect everybody to take his side. that level of respect is earned by doing a lot more then just walking through the door only. he put out apparently one good rock album, whats that to all the bands that put out several great albums.
I think he says dumb stuff about really popular artists for the clout. Especially if they respond, it gets his name attached to theirs, even if it's in a negative way
@@cakebby18 i doubt he's smart enough to plan that tho, id guess its just coincidence or dumb luck that what he says pulls the right/wrong strings with certain people getting him said clout
@@Big_B2184 and hes trash if you ever listened to his music its terrible bro i try to like it i actually think he seems like a cool guy i just cant force myself to like his music
I think MGK is an artist trying to find himself, and I think he found it joining forces with Travis Barker. "Tickets To My Downfall" was both my wife and my favorite album of 2020. We've probably listened to it at least 20 times, if not more. Every trip we went on, it was in the CD player, yep make your jabs... we still buy CDs. It was such a fun record and it really did recapture the early 2000's pop punk.
Surely if you have any musical integrity, you’d realize that Travis Barker was the key behind any “magic” that album had. MGK is a hack and sounds like you and your wife both have shtty taste in music
The weirdest thing is, his voice isn't that bad. if he actually took some time to train his voice more, he could easily be big, but instead of improving his skills, he just fires up at more successful people
As a fan of both but more of a hip hop fan we don't like posers either this is a guy who was supposed to be some gangster from Cleveland now he's running around in pink drinking blook with Megan
@@ccmcgaming327Bullshit. The entire genre was created by posers. Wtf do you think NWA is? A group of posers. Vanilla Ice? Poser Run DMC? Posers. Tupac? The dude went to BALLET SCHOOL. POSER. The genre is full of these dorks POSING as gangsters and criminals. Shall I continue? Rap is literally shit 😂
Maybe listen to hotel diablo Rap and rock are fused together really smooth imo and its by far his best work. Crazy flows, deep lyrics and great production
@@flint_3790 So far, haven't dug his rock music and kinda hated his rapping, I'll check "hotel diablo" out the to give him another chance tho. There's more to the story why MGK pissed off the rock community then this video went over though. Main thing, he comes off and a "plz look at me" bitch and it's kinda cringy, and him trying to start beef in rock is odd timing considering shit, but hey, people are still talking about him so can't say he's not sell-able.
I think MGK finally marks my "too old to understand current music" phase. Even if I'm not a fan of something, I can appreciate the effort and skill that's gone into it. If I don't know anything about the techniques of a genre (how to play the instrument etc.), then I won't criticise it beyond my own taste (It took me a while to get over that mindset. I used to have that old "Dance Music is just pressing play" Metalhead mindset). I can't comment on his rap career because I don't know the first thing about writing rap lyrics, beats or anything else that goes into making a rap song. There are rap songs that I like and those that I dislike and that's where it ends. But his punk rock career? I don't get it. He can't sing, he can't play guitar...I know that, ironically, these are criticisms leveled at punk when it first started. But that is also kinda my point. The punk music that he's putting out has not only been done before, only better, but there are even current artists putting out similar stuff but done better. He's even got a member of BLINK 18FRIKKIN2 playing with him, yet what he's doing sounds, to me and my old fogey ears, derivative and unoriginal and played poorly to boot! I am finally far too old to understand the music of the youth. AND NOW I FIND OUT THAT HE'S ONLY 9 YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME?!? WE'RE THE SAME GENERATION! Time to put me out to pasture...
Rap is just a puzzle piece. Most people make crappy ten piece puzzles. Then Busta and Em make puzzles in super weird shaped pieces, 100 pieces 10 piece.... We be having fun Til the sun goes down 50 piece..... The bud Got me dumb Can't cum Can't bust I'm soft cause The drugs Effect how I love Just Keeep stroking, kissing, Choking chickens Make a Sammy in the kitchen
Ikr? It’s like …. and?? Who the fuk isn’t? It’s like idiots and assholes using any kind of mental illness as an excuse for cruelty, murder, or crime. Nah … you ain’t special.
I'm a fan of Eminem and I can say confidently that MGK was soooo asking for it! All Em did was break down MGK's "Rap Devil" song line by line and backfired it at him. He was defending himself and it didn't go well for MGK. That's what you get when you mess with the greatest rapper of all times and MGK knew it but he was trying to get some attention! He needs to fucking grow up cause he actually has talent.
I feel like the only thing he can really insult people with nowadays is age. First Eminem and now slipknot. The man is messing with the wrong legends, if you want to diss someone, go to pop
MGK playing a symphony in the amphitheatre: Ay yo Beethoven ain't got shit on my creative genius! I'm the best composer of all time! The old days are dead and gone just like all these old geezers with their shitty music pieces. Beethoven and Mozart rising from their graves: Ye hath elected death
MGK In 2034 banging sticks and rocks against hollowed animal bones: *_Unga Oonka ain't got anything on my oonga unga bunga skills bruh, they wear dirty fur outfits_*
"I'm hungry, I wanna be the best." That almost makes me feel bad for MGK, hes a guy who genuinely dreams big, but he doesnt have the talent to be in the music industry at all, let alone trying to hit it big. There's definitely something sympathetic about having dreams you'll never be good enough to attain, no matter how hard you work.
@mockingbird4346 in regards to rap he had 3 gold albums and one platinum album. Is he the most successful artist? No, but I wouldn't say he was unsuccessful as a rapper.
@@Alexander-sj4fv MGK IS TRASH ALL AROUND HE SUCKS AT ROCK just because he’s white doesn’t mean he has to Make Trash ass ROCK MUSIC like most white people do
MGK's punk rock album was actually very good for his debut, and he's got some really nice rap songs and "freestyles". Definitely over hated because of the Em beef. The only problem is that he needs to stop making beef for no reason.
Beef doesn't work in the rock and metal world like it does in the rap world and you gotta really keep beef going in the rap world if you start it or you come out and publicly quash it with one another.
I think a lot of the people that were listening to pop punk style music before he came around, hate him the most. He and all his fans claim him as a pop punk act, but being pretty into the actual pop punk scene, it's hilarious, because in the actual pop punk scene he's kind of a joke. No one thats actively into pop punk listens to him, its people that listen to pop music that like him. That's why his music plays on radio pop music stations.
Mgk "bringing back rock" has to be the funniest thing ive heard today.he's a little boy playing at being a rock star dissing the real rock and metal legends.what he's doing isnt new or fresh it's just a more pop version of blink 182
at least Blink had an actual skate punk background, like each member was doing diy shows and were actually part of the scene... MGK is from cleveland, the only scene there is meth and middle class white kids that try to act black.
I think the problem that MGK is gonna face is that he's not only dissed metal legends in slipknot but pretty much every band saying there aren't any real rock stars. I think this is gonna to lead to him being looked down upon by all bands in the genre and those working the same rock and metal festivals as him
a bunch of bands were already looking down on him because his numbers are better then there’s have been in years. his rock album was literally the only rock album to hit number one last year. no one is doing the same numbers as him in the rock genre
@@thatbitch.jade666 I have a question for you do you think American and Canadian bands should look for more of a European audience considering Rock and metal genre are still alive over there compared to United States and Canada
@@thatbitch.jade666 lmfao u call that album rock it’s trash attempt at the genre it only went number 1 because of Travis barker really he should get all the credit if it wasent for him that album would have never gone number 1 Travis gets all the credit not mgk tool had a number 1 album there actually rock metal not a shitty failed rapper rock community doesent accept mgk he’s a poser wannabe rockstar
MGK didn’t change genres because out of pressure or fear. After the whole Rap Devil situation, he released 2 rap albums before changing to pop/punk-rock. It was a natural transition, especially taking in count that he’s friends with Yungblud, Iann Dior and Travis Barker. They’re all kinda emo. But yeah, he needs to control everything he says and does. As a fan I can say that he’s an excellent artist. General Admission is great, Bloom is his best album so far, Hotel Diablo and Tickets to My Downfall are also great projects. He should focus on making good music and that’s pretty much it.
MGK should be happy that he has silly women to keep his career alive because he is “cute, blonde and tall”. FOH. The guy needs to pivot because he lost all credibility with the hip hop community. And he will have to povot to country sooner rather than later
@@ishmael802 Y'all love speaking on things y'all don't know anything about. The only "credibility" MGK lost was from Em stans who didn't rock with him in the first place, that's it. A brief look at his discography and you'd see he has 4 rap albums and one punk rock album. He gets plenty of respect from his rap peers, just look at who's worked with him over the past decade. Rappers from Jeezy, DMX, Bun B, Yo Gotti and Bone Thugs to Trippie Red and Migos. Eminem stans definitely aren't representative of the hiphop community lol. Also, MGK has ALWAYS repped a punk rocker who just so happens to rap aesthetic/vibe. I remember his BET Cypher, when he first came onto the scene being signed to Bad Boy, and he came out looking like a rocker, I say that to say him doing a punk rock album is not surprising to me, but IYKYK.
MGK is a year older than I am, and that blows my mind. I enjoy some of his pop punk songs, but I'm not a fan of the childish attitude. Being a musician doesn't mean being an asshole to people and past drug use and mental illness isn't an excuse either. Corey is nearly my dad's age and needs to grow up as well.
MGK getting booed off stage was just going to happen he was literally the only non metal act at louder than life and he disrespected everyone's favorite band there.

Mgk found that being a polarizing figure brings more attention to him and that means free advertising for him with everybody talking about him. However he needs to learn to be more subtle at the same time if he wants to continue in music.
I like your point about people's aversion to (hip hop artists or rappers) changing genres. As a rock/ metal guy, I think it's pretty cool when guys trade out loops and samples for more organic sounds, and visa versa. It's one of the things that I've heard people at concerts talk about, the lack of "musicianship" in those genres (particularly). There's an argument to be made about the artists motives, but since we can't look into peoples minds, I accept at face value that these artists are trying new forms of creativity. We call them artists for a reason...
In reference to rock music fans- it really depends on the age of the fan. There were actually polls done in several groups im in about him (maybe the mods were trying to figure out the right angle to approach mgk with). They asked a total of 15k ppl across 3 different but related groups their opinions. Roughly 60% of millenials think he is cringey or a downright poser. The remaining 40% either don't know him or like him. The portion that liked him (can't remember the %) often had a child who was a fan of MGK. As for Gen Z members of the groups (which were the smallest age group represented in the groups), a little over 50% consider themselves a fan of his. The remaining 50% either don't have an opinion (millenials werent as neutral) or don't like him (and those that don't like him feel that way for a reason that is sometimes not music related. Millenials tended not go like him for music issues. Gen Z would bring up social issues that deemed him "problematic"). Gen X- something like 15% viewed him favorably. That 15% often had children who were fans of MGK. The rest didn't know him or viewed him comically- they didn't think he was serious.
@@joeleonhart559 yes. 100%, MGK is infinitely better. Corey Taylor is an annoying poser and his music is overrated. Again this is my opinion and I respect others who do not share it.
As a big rock/metal/punk fan and a fan of slipknot, i was very skeptical when hearing mgk’s new album. like how do you go from being a hardcore rapper who dissed eminem (which mad me really angry) to a pop punk superstar? tbh, idrk, but mgk’s new music slaps. it’s like a mix of good charlotte, linkin park, blink 182, and Lit. pretty sick stuff ngl
I'm not very familiar with Kelly's music. What I've seen of him so far individually, musically, and otherwise tells me he's effectively pop. Coming from a metalhead that carries a lot of implications.
Mgk: "Eminem has a weird beard" Mgk: Kicked out of rap proceeds getting into Rock... Mgk: "Slipknot has weird masks" Mgk: Kicked out of rock Will he maybe proceeds getting into Kpop, saying that BTS has a "weird accent" and get kicked out again?
mgk also says his next album will be rap (everyone talks shit abt that and/or ignores it) yes he gets into hella drama but y’all just be picking at him I’d say fuck it too
MGK is obsessed with age like he isn’t going to be “50 years old” one day. Only 2 songs I can name by MGK is wild boy and rap devil. I haven’t listened to slipknot in years and still would choose them over him
@@mynameis4555 Pretty sure that’s their shtick. Same way Kiss always wore makeup. Only guy I seen without a mask from that band is Corey Taylor and that’s because he’s in another band called Stone Sour also. They started off wearing masks though
@@mynameis4555 Dude, they're having fun with their lives, and living it up in their 50s What the fuck do you do? Put people down in RUclips comment sections? Fuck outta here
I guess I'm one of the weird ones who freaking LOVES Slipknot, but who also rocks out to some of the harder MGK stuff like Wild Boy, Till I Die I&II, Sail, Halo, Lace Up and even Bad Mo'Fckr and so on...LOL. I crank his shit EVERY.SINGLE.DAY!!! I do the same with my favorite Slipknot tracks (Psychosocial, The Devil in I, Before I Forget, Duality, and etc...) Bc whatever hits me the right way to have me wylin out in the car when I'm hauling ass to and from work, I'm all for!!
MGK so far: Early career: Rap with some rock elements in between After Eminem's diss: Rock with rap elements in between After dissing Slipknot: girly electro pop music with country elements 🥵👌🔥
I really liked MGK when he first came out, his earliest stuff is my favorite. I think the fame went to his head, which sucks because he can make good music and be someone to draw inspiration from if he wants to. That said, there was absolutely no reason for him to run his mouth about Slipknot. I never listened to their type of music, but I have respect for their success.... MGK really screwed up doing that. In all I hope he grows up a bit and gets his life and career together. Eh, it is what it is.
Ok… I was born in 76, yes I’m Gen X. I’ve been fortunate to grow up listening to some of the greatest artists of all time, Rock, Rap, Hip-Hop you name it. Back in day everyone had their own sound and they made their name by putting out badass music. We didn’t have social media where we could puss out from a thousand miles away. We lived in stores like Musicland and we went to live shows every weekend. I’m white and never felt out of place going to see Snoop or Dre, and went with black friends to see Ozzy. Back then guys wanted to collaborate and make kickass music. Sure there was beef but the music was always great. MGK is trying to be relevant by attacking the giants. It turns heads for a little while but at the end of the day it’s the music that fills the seats. I live in Milwaukee Wisconsin. We have an annual music festival called SummerFest, we have an iconic intimate venue called the Rave / Eagles ballroom. Rage against the Machine played at Alpine Valley. I love it all, and I hate MGK. If he wants to be a god he needs to make music and that’s it
I am similar age as you and also grew up in the walkman days and in the Milwaukee Area. Love the RAVE! Trading and copying tapes was a thing back then. It was how music was shared and enjoyed with people. The world changed. Music is now so easily gathered, curated and even pushed down your throat. No need to go searching for it at music stores, at yes, physical brick and mortar locations. There was so much excitement when you picked up a new album, listen to it and then want to share it with your friends that is GONE! As for MGK. I didn't really learn about him until the Eminem beef which I can say I was rather grossly engaged in. I found it amusing similarly to the east coast west coast beef. I was thinking "Oh are we going to get some new music with shots fired all each other for a year years?" Part of me was hoping so. Though I personally think M won the battle I did like Rap Devil. Its catchy and has some good elements. To have the stones to push something you Eminem like that when everyone knows not to is in my opinion pretty punk / metal move. Now with him moving to new genres. He wants to make money. Period. It isn't about the art for him I don't think. You can see it. He's jumped artistic lines on multiple occasions. Now for artists to do that there is nothing wrong per say but it seems fake and artificial from my viewpoint. I listened to his older rap stuff and his new pop punk blink 182 wannabe stuff and its stale. It seems forced and fake. He isn't authentic. Though he might have some punkish ways to his personality but I don't think he understands the premise. In my thoughts he only wants attention. Media whore. Why else make these changes? If he loved rap he wouldn't have switched. Fan or not I think many "Music" fans will agree he isn't doing anything special. He has hints of glimmer from time to time but in 20 years will anyone be talking about him musically?
Never been a big fan of rap, but I could get behind Lil Wayne's lil rock moment. It was pretty fun, and it never felt like he was trying to fully be a rockstar. It was mostly a homage to what a good number of rappers and most artists are after, the mega fame to the point of not having to worry about anything. Everyone knows the saying 'sex drugs and rock n roll'. As far as MGK, he honestly feels like he should have been rock to begin with. When I first heard the name Machine Gun Kelly I thought it was a new rock band.
I grew up with Japanese visual kei , then went into western metal , stumble on mgk and he brought something familiar to me , with his lyrics and his looks , I know I’m one in a million but I literally opened my ears more to rap due to him , this was years ago tho , by black flag album
MGK will forever be one of the best MC's out there in my book, Eminem is one of the best MCS out there Slipknot is a bad ass f****** band all the hate needs to stop! this whole beef thing is for the birds rock and roll , rap whatever he's an artist kudos for that!
@@AndrewB23 dude you guys don't listen I said" is one of the best"( hence one of the best) I didn't say WAS one of the best .... "i said IS ONE of the best! " there's a lot of wonderful and brilliant and talented MC's in the hip hop game and I've been listening to hip Hop since the late '80s I'm from California I like West Coast hip Hop MGK and Eminem are not West Coast hip Hop but they are by far two of the best rappers out there there are a lot more I just haven't named them, I grew up listening to Tupac Bone thugs digital underground biggie smalls Nas Beastie boys ice cube Snoop Dogg Dr Dre NWA Warren g Andre nickatina E-40 AKA Earl Steven selection the ambassador of the Bay yay area I'm pretty sure you know who that is I love G-Eazy Chris Webby man I listen to a wide selection of hip Hop I also listen to rock classic rock and country I just named a bunch of the best hip hop MC's out there who do you listen to Andrew??

Honestly I won’t be surprised if he gets bullied out of punk rock He gives off very poser vibes and if you’ve ever had contact with the punk community you know sure as hell that we /really/ don’t like posers lmao (Edit: This comment is meant to be a JOKE, I am aware of the toxic environment of the punk community regarding gatekeeping and I do not condone it)
@@waynewayne8419 I agree. Gatekeeping music is childish, and my original comment was meant to be a joke But I’m not talking about music; I’m talking about the community itself If you’re a punk and you listen to MGK, cool, good for you, but it’s him trying to act as though he’s a part of a community that is very much tied to a specific ideology that, judging by his comments towards Slipknot, he doesn’t really understand or connect with To be fair, I don’t know a whole ton about MGK, so hey, maybe he does connect with that punk ideology and I’m uninformed, and if I am, I rescind my joke But I’m less trying to “gatekeep” the music in my joke, I’m just a tad protective I suppose over a community that’s stood for certain values for many years
@@waynewayne8419 it's not gatekeeping if you're doing it to keep toxic behavior out of the community, but okay. I don't even like slipknot, but hating on people art is weak.
@@scarletraine5681 Wouldn't exactly call punk a hyper specific ideology when you look into its historical roots, it has fluctuated in the general ideology of the community A LOT, in fact it really only ever seems to maintain its anti establishment motif(Given besides hot topic thats what its most known for), and even then thats not even always present, especially in punks treatment of political topics. I don't disagree with you saying that punk as a community wouldn't Accept MGK, but its not because the community is a steadfast pillar of a specific set of principles, and MGK doesn't uphold those same beliefs.
@@nicholaskarras2759 oh yeah for sure, punk has definitely fluctuated a lot over the years, but like you said it’s always maintained that anti-establishment vibe, and mgk just rlly doesn’t feel antiestablishment. honestly looking at some stories ab mgk and his lyrics he seems like a fine guy who writes decent music, but the beef with Slipknot really just kinda rubs me the wrong way as the exact reason as to why he would never really be considered punk tbh
Personally I think he could have came in fine switching from rap to rock if instead of targeting other bands and trying to do the hip-hop beef thing It he just focused on working with some other artist who are already in the genre He did a song called spotlight featuring Lzzy Hale awhile ago. I think if he would’ve done a couple of songs featuring other artists already established in the genre before jumping over with his own full album he would’ve had a much better entry and when Have had the benefit of working with people who already know what they’re doing.
In fairness, punk rock and metal have always had a bit of friction. They’re both Rock but on different areas of the genre spectrum. I remember Joe Strummer of the Clash being critical of acts like Van Halen and Twisted Sister. MGK isn’t totally off brand.
True but mgk is a pop star making pop music with Travis Barker playing drums over it. He has zero credibility In the punk scene and they all just make fun of him. And Travis seems to have lost a lot of the scenes respect too. Between making pop music with a rapper turned pop star, and marrying into the Kardashians, it seems like everyone thinks he's a joke too. It's kinda sad to see everyone in the pop punk scene wanting to turn on Travis. 😒
@@katebeckinsnail910 lol it’s hilarious how we fans talk about all these A-F list celebrities like we actually know them and their circles. Who the fuck cares. As long as ppl making whatever music they want and happy doing it; I’m here for it.
MGK is about as punk rock as Uncle Jesse's band from Full House. If you are interested in what an actual somewhat commercially successful and accessible punk rock band looks like I would watch IDLES live. MGK is going for a certain aesthetic, the actual music he puts out sounds the same as all the other over-produced, canned, soul-less, music that people make with looped beats on their Mac books
He's stated to finding young teens attractive in a since deleted tweet, so it makes complete sense why he'd switch genres to punk pop; a genre absolutely overflowing with pedos
Yeah whatever, but the "mgk bringing rock back" statement is pretty lame when rock hasn't even died in the first place. 2020 and 2021 has had the most rock releases I've seen in years!
The drug issue made me actually feel bad for all the jokes I said when this all happened pre-Slipknot beef. I've had my lows with drugs and mental health and felt self-destruction happening. Be smoove MGK.
Same bro. I almost drank myself into oblivion. Got kicked out of the army for it, got arrested for it, it is trying to ruin my life, to this day. How do I stop?
You have to really REALLY want it. Surround yourself with people you trust and know about your problem talk to them everyday about it. They even have medicine Naltrexone that can help. Good luck I’ve been sober for 5 years
I currently have a crippling drug/alcohol issue mixed with the desire to hang myself on a daily basis so MGK can cry himself to sleep along with every other depressed, successful millionaire for all I care lol. Their problems are genuine but they can fuck themselves as I sit here wondering where I'm going to live a month from now. I have empathy for everyone whether I like them or not and I wish them all the best, but to be brutally honest, some people's problems are laughable compared to an overwhelming majority of the population. FTP
I listen to both genres casually. I disagree that the interview remarks were "obviously sarcastic." You don't call people motherfuckers if you're making a sarcastic joke, and it comes off as genuine criticism. I'd also imagine that the "failed rap artist" comments are more likely caused by the fact that Taylor was probably only familiar with the most mainstream rappers. MGK's rap albums are decent, but I have a bunch of hip hop heads as friends, and NOBODY was talking about him before the Eminem diss track. He's no Kendrick or Cole. If you put yourself in Taylor's very comfy shoes, MGK looks like a rapper that fell out of the mainstream a while ago, and only got back in by starting shit with one of the best. And to top it off, the overall consensus was that he lost the fight he started. So you're Corey Taylor, and you see that artist start shit, lose, then drop an album in a different genre and immediately start criticizing the mainstays of that genre. It's easy to see why Taylor might be a bit prickly about it, and why he would consider MGK a failed rap artist.

Yo to shed some light on this.
I grew up on rap and metal.
I was a fan of mgk back then and still now
Was a fan of slipknot back then still now.
Elitism is common in the rock community.
When metal branched off into sub genres metal core party metal emocore etc people like cory did the same shit "oh thats not real metal" so this was expected.
Metal elitist where shit then when the genre was popping they are worse now since metal isnt as popular now and you have rappers doing rock or metal shit pos elitist gonna hate

MGK switches to parody genre, immediately disses Weird Al
LMAO
He probably hire wierd Al to make his album
I thought it was A.I. instead of Al, lmao!
You think Eminem cracked him? Weird al is the only one to diss Eminem and make Eminem laugh, mgk won’t survive that one lmao
Weird Al would obliterate MGK out of existence using only 3% of his power
bro I actually had to immediately look up mgk's age cause I honestly didnt think he was anywhere close to 31 I thought he was like 23 lmao

He is going to be doing K-pop next.
Truth be told, the blame here lies with his management. How could they think booking him on a festival of actual heavy metal was a good idea? MGK's music is better suited to play alongside Limp Biskit, Blink 182, Fallout boy and shit like that than the line up he was playing with.
This is such a braindead reply, he was playing at riot fest, a mostly punk, not metal fest. And limp bizkit??? Limp Bizkit and slipknot are both nu metal, they arent at all a pop punk band lol
@@Funnivids100 the song break stuff is metal to you? That’s the only song I know by them
@@semajyo9628 Its "nu metal". Not really metal, but it also isn't pop punk like blink-182 or fall out boy
@@Funnivids100 cool story.
I didn't mention slipknot not suggested they play with them.
Limp Bizkit played on many of them type festivals with bands like I suggested and aren't really on the heavy metal your festival. BTW... do you not think it was a weird choice to have Limp Bizkit with Blink 182 and Weezer at the Inkartation festival in Ohio?
Or how about the time that Machine Gun Kelly played a festival with My Chemical Romance and the Offspring?
not to mention, but kpop?? Where'd that come from bro that's so random. I would think alt rock or jus plain pop would be the next logical choice.
"We'd rather be 50 year old us than 30 year old you," - Slipknot probably.
One of the best comments I’ve seen this week
corry did apologize tho
His constantly dissing artist about their age because in his mind he is 16 when in reality he’s not that much younger than them
He does have a point. Neither Eminem nor Slipknot act like mature people in their 50s.
I mean I wouldn't either if I'd get their paychecks it's still pretty cheesy being a bitter 50 year old in the music industry.
At least in my opinion.
@@derdude6214 dude remember ice t and soulja boy beef ? then 40 yrs old ice wasnt acting matured and was talking trash bout soulja back when he was only 17 . this is same shit here , ngl mgk now gonna start beefs in rock genre lol

It's simple. Slipknot has earned their respect. They've paid their dues and the fans know it. Then when some guy who's more known for a whole other genre jumps over into rock and has the audacity to insult "on stage" a hugely popular band in the genre. It should be expected that he's going to get a lot of hate over it. Also, with other musicians that have gotten into beefs with Cory, it never works out for them. Cory will make you look like a fool with easy in interviews. Just ask Nickleback's front man.
mgk was bitchmade for hopping genres and immediately trying to start beef, but ngl cory just sounds like a bitter oldhead. this beef didnt really end up making either look any good, and just seems to have brought cory down to mgks level.
Not by any self-respecting metalhead or rock fan
W comment
@@jedikye bullshit
but…it looked to me like mgk wanted to do a song with Cory, since mgk wanted to edit his verse a bit he quit. Then Cory went on a show and said he hated him. Then mgk insulted slip knot. So like…he’s not just running around insulting bands the guy came for him 🤔. Im not a fan of either but that Corey guy looked petty in this situation
I think he might have thought starting a 'beef' for 'clout' would work the same in metal as it does for rap. It doesn't, at least not since the 80s. Most metal musicians do the opposite and give each other props even when they don't really like them.
Slipknot came after him first...
MGK is really popular outside of the rap atmosphere. He doesn’t need to start any beef to be relevant. Slipknot came after him saying he failed in rap so that’s why he switched genres. Now I don’t agree with mgk firing back but I don’t blame him. Please educate yourself before you talk about things. Peace and Love 🙏🏻
@@heelvsface8831 yea mgk a bitch trying to start girly drama with a metal band. He’s flipping 30 something lol
@@issahumps @Issa humps That makes what slipknot did even worse by that logic bro, those mfs are almost hitting 50 and starting beef lmao
So dey pussies lmfao
The timing probably didn’t help MGK given that, according to a timeline of his beef with Corey Taylor, he dissed Slipknot just a couple of months after the death of Joey Jordison (original drummer, widely considered to be one of the greatest drummers in heavy metal history). Can only guess that the pain of his death was still prevalent amongst metal fans.
Rock in peace Joey 🤟🏻
Considering I still fucking miss Dimebag, yeah it definitely still hurts.
R.I.P Joey, no can replace him 🤘🏼
RIP

..the best drummers ever.
Don't forget our brother Vinnie Paul in the metal world included with brother Dimebag and Joey Jordison
Some people say dimebag Darryl is one of the best guitarists ever. Is it the same guy? He's from Slipknot?

In rap those "OGs" slander the new gen all the time
Disagree with a lot of this. Since when has rock been about paying respect to the ones before them? Punk rock and grunge were almost entirely created because they didn’t want to associate with the hedonistic rock stars of the 60s, 70s and, 80s. I think MGKs biggest mistake is the way he responds to any backlash, though I also think it’s been his biggest asset too.

MGKs biggest flaw is that he doesn't know that to become big you have to have humility and know that you have to crawl your way to the top. Just because he got signed to a top notch record label, doesn't mean he exactly made it big when especially when Eminem is the MVP artist and face of said company. Gotta earn your rate and show it in your art
wtf are you talking about? the guy worked his way to the top, I remember his first mixtapes and songs like 14 years ago and now he is having 2 no1 albums back to back. The guy literally came from nothing and worked himself to the top over a decade. Btw he got signed by bad boy and "Eminiem" is not the face of that company, its diddys label :D why are ppl spreading false information and just talk straight out of their ass while having no clue what they are talking about?

Let’s say sorry to kpop community he might go to kpop community. 😂
I’m confused on how this has anything to do with you
As a white guy I’m sorry for mgk all around.
I think he’s just going overboard with the whole rock/metal thing. He should just do both rap and rock/metal. Why switch when you could do both? Making music for both hip-hop fans and rock fans will give you a lot more fans then someone who’s just does rap.
easier said than done tbh
yeah rap rock is a pretty niche genre, groups like Hollywood Undead have been doing it for years but it just isn't as easy to bring together seamlessly as you think.
Jack-of-all-trades is the master of none. If you try to juggle both neither will probably be very good, And people generally only listen to the best music from a genre.
Lastly hip hop and rock don't have that many crossover fans to be honest. Hiphop fans will probably hate the rock side and vice-versa leaving everyone feeling like the mixed album kinda sucked
He does both
The rap community knows he’s a fluke and I doubt anyone over the age of 22 wants to collab with him
MGK also said Eminiem's beard was weird in a rap diss and then goes on to wear a bedazzled beard at the VMA's. Irony is lost on MGK when he says he's glad "he's not on stage at 50 wearing a weird mask." He should probably stop dissing people.
Or at least stop using "weird" as a diss
I agree but the weird beard diss was a deep shot. Eminem made a comment in an interview decades ago at this point, saying he’ll stop rapping when he’s “old and his beard is weird.”
So the diss was kind of funny to me because it sounds so out of pocket to most people but I’d seen the interview 😂
"‘Til we grow beards, get weird and disappear
Into the mountains, nothin’ but clowns down here"
~ eminem on Business
"He’s acting weird again, he’s really beginning to scare me
Won’t shave his beard again and he pretends he doesn’t hear me"
~ eminem on deja vu
"Grow your beard out, just weird out"
~ eminem on berzerk
Mgk is turning eminems lines against him, which is common when dissing someone. Where is your point? This is literally battle rap...
MGK doesn't have anything against Slipknot to be exact but Corey from Slipknot. Corey Taylor did a verse for 'TIckets To My Downfall'. It wasn't a good enough verse so MGK decided not to add it. Corey for that, turned out to say something which wasn't quite pleasant-? maybe was a little toxic. Thus, MGK decided to talk back on Corey on-stage in one of his performances. MGK's tweet on corey was
"corey did a verse for a song on tickets to my downfall album, it was fucking terrible, so i didn’t use it.
he got mad about it, and talked shit to a magazine about the same album he was almost on.
yalls stories are all off.
just admit he’s bitter."
It's simply a neutral situation and neither MGK or Corey should have the blame. Although Slipknot's fans overdrove the fact that MGK spoke of Corey and turned it out to look as 'a new beef between slipknot and mgk'.
@@oldtrash108 yeah he is also proving that he is a fanboy who knows what eminem said decades ago lmao. Even he said it with that intention it is still a big L.
That’s MGK’s thing, he wants to be hated by everyone.
1. It gives him hype and keeps his name in the mix
2. It’s part of his persona, his whole vibe is a ‘fuck everyone’ mentality
3. Dude knows how to market himself man, he knows what he’s doing. Even when his albums are trash, he manages to get them some type of clout
Tickets to my downfall isnt trash imo. Favorite album for me from the past year or so
Just like Limp Bizket, but with even worse music
I agree with you, but at what cost?? This may work and be very well exactly what he’s doing. Even if fans like him the industry doesn’t respect him. he needs to market himself as a serious artist in his respective genre and not a god damn ass hat. Love his music, but not a fan the way he portrays himself
@@superultragiggachigga true
@@superultragiggachigga yall working on double standards cuz Corey is far more a pos than mgk and facts that Corey started the shit when he said " I hate that new rock music you know the one where the guy that fails at one genre then hops to the next " which btw stone sour did the exact same thing in the 90s when he hopped over to metal and formed slipknot 👀 then when that simmers down every 2-3 years they brought back stone sour and it became a success on the second launch because of slipknot . Anyways point being he's automatically the villain but there isn't a concert I've ever been to where they buy the entire concert a meal after the show mgk does that yall picked the wrong side to boast for cuz mgk is a good ass dude fed Cleveland for a week during the pandemic wtf has Corey done as a philanthropist??? Not a damn thing cuz he's an egotistical pos always has been always running his mouth on interviews about other artists and people clutch to that toxic bs I guess 🤣🤣 couldn't be me
I was born 1989 and growing up almost everyone listened too rock. Now I can't even find a radio station that plays it except for classic rock, which I also love. But now again it would be nice to hear some TOOL or Korn or other awesome rock bands. We need to BRING BACK THE ROCK!!!!!
Who needs radio when we have RUclips playlists?
I don't like him simply because of the weird ass comments he made about Eminems daughter and about some other underage girls in Hollywood that you seemed to skip over in this video. I don't know who it was he was talking about, but at one point he was talking about how he liked this underage girl that happened to be famous, and when questioned if maybe he should wait until she's 18 he said something along the lines of "it doesn't matter, she's famous." It's normal not to like this dude. I don't care that he's had a hard life. I don't care that he's had to deal with drugs. Dudes just a creep.
He collaborated with corpse, who goes on Twitter and makes flirtatious remarks with heart emojis towards his 90% underage fanbase, of which openly sexualizes him (it's borderline cult behavior) and obsesses. I wouldn't be surprised if he's friends with other creeps in the industry, and not just that clown.
Yeah he made that comment about kendal jenner
It’s worse when you see his racist and color his comments knowing that he has a half black daughter he has blatantly disrespected his daughter and been racist to her. While being a deadbeat father and parenting Megan Fox’s kid and Megan Fox has gone on the record and said many times that he is not a trustworthy guy and a lot of shit he does it’s weird I don’t like him at all he said a lot of disrespectful shit and he’s just a shitty person and all of his fans are literally pedophiles at least from what I know
What?! I feel so ignorant i didn’t know this. Wow why do they get away with this disgusting crap
Eminem has a pretty obvious reason to dislike MGK. He was creeping on Eminem's underage daughter, in public, and it's a pattern with him.
don’t care about mgk’s personality tbh, but I heavily fuck with his recent music after the genre swap, I hope he stays with the current genre
you a 100% right like i dont really give a shit about his personality he makes good music i listen to it thats how it works
That's the right mentality. Under the surface, a lot of musicians are probably assholes, at least MGK isn't shy about it. Just listen to whatever you like.
It sucked then and it sucks now. Also the fake English accent is a bad look.just sayin 🤷🏻♀️
That’s funny I’m the opposite of what you said, not saying it’s bad at all btw
Hotel Diablo is his best album arguably and his perfect lane. He needs to go back to rap but keep the rock elements akin to Limp Bizkit or Linkin Park but more modern.
"He's gone country..."
"The only thing worse than being a 50 year old wearing a mask. Is being a 31 year old still acting like the highschool reject who just wants to kiss the girl"... Dude you should get paid more
legit tho
Paid less. He treats his fans like garbage.
@@dimitrios8272 wait what?
@@dimitrios8272 He meant that comment for youtuber not mgk,lol
Rock community member here: In spite of being someone who also likes hip hop, I didn't really give much MGK's stuff much attention, his pop punk album was cool and that put him on the map for me, listening to his older stuff I tended to like the fusing of rock elements into some of his hip hop stuff. I like that he has some attitude and is bringing that into rock. He's right about the comfy shoes...
The general vibe amongst my rock friends is that he's cool but he shouldn't be disrespecting established names. Having said that though, fans of pop punk are not necessarily fans of Slipknot. The two genres aren't worlds apart in the grand scheme of things but within Rock/Metal as an umbrella, it's like comparing modern Trap and 90's Boom-Bap. So tbh, the overlap isn't really there other than the fact that all these bands get chucked on to the same festival because they're all 'rock'. So if some metalheads wanna go boo him at a festival, probably ain't an indication of his popularity in the genre he's actually making.
Well said
exactly. people are acting like he’s losing fans over this. im pretty sure majority of his fan base don’t listen to slipknot at all. they probably listen to artists like yungblud, lil peep, jxdn, blink, and artist more along those lines
Even I know that you shouldn't diss slipknot and I'm not heavily invested in rock he needs to listen to his pr or hire better people to guide his career because right now his management is shit

Slipknot, Em, and everyone he disses , even at their lowest popularity, is still light years beyond where he ever will be
only reason I don't like about mgk is his attitude, he's like a child that toss a tantrum when he doesn't get his way or what he wants. he pick fights with legends of the genre he currently in and expect everybody to take his side. that level of respect is earned by doing a lot more then just walking through the door only. he put out apparently one good rock album, whats that to all the bands that put out several great albums.

@@Big_B2184 and hes trash if you ever listened to his music its terrible bro i try to like it i actually think he seems like a cool guy i just cant force myself to like his music
I think MGK is an artist trying to find himself, and I think he found it joining forces with Travis Barker. "Tickets To My Downfall" was both my wife and my favorite album of 2020. We've probably listened to it at least 20 times, if not more. Every trip we went on, it was in the CD player, yep make your jabs... we still buy CDs. It was such a fun record and it really did recapture the early 2000's pop punk.
I personally really liked his Hotel diablo album . I was shocked to hear it isn't even Gold . I think it's one of the best albums by MGK .
MGK definitely found his sound in pop punk. I hope he continues to make more songs with Travis Barker and YUNGBLUD
Surely if you have any musical integrity, you’d realize that Travis Barker was the key behind any “magic” that album had. MGK is a hack and sounds like you and your wife both have shtty taste in music

@@jeffbenzos6344 OP and his wife buy CD’s what more can you really say.
The weirdest thing is, his voice isn't that bad. if he actually took some time to train his voice more, he could easily be big, but instead of improving his skills, he just fires up at more successful people

@@flint_3790 So far, haven't dug his rock music and kinda hated his rapping, I'll check "hotel diablo" out the to give him another chance tho. There's more to the story why MGK pissed off the rock community then this video went over though. Main thing, he comes off and a "plz look at me" bitch and it's kinda cringy, and him trying to start beef in rock is odd timing considering shit, but hey, people are still talking about him so can't say he's not sell-able.
8:07 funny thing is I listen to both 😂 I just don’t care about personal beefs artists have
I think MGK finally marks my "too old to understand current music" phase. Even if I'm not a fan of something, I can appreciate the effort and skill that's gone into it. If I don't know anything about the techniques of a genre (how to play the instrument etc.), then I won't criticise it beyond my own taste (It took me a while to get over that mindset. I used to have that old "Dance Music is just pressing play" Metalhead mindset).
I can't comment on his rap career because I don't know the first thing about writing rap lyrics, beats or anything else that goes into making a rap song. There are rap songs that I like and those that I dislike and that's where it ends. But his punk rock career? I don't get it. He can't sing, he can't play guitar...I know that, ironically, these are criticisms leveled at punk when it first started. But that is also kinda my point. The punk music that he's putting out has not only been done before, only better, but there are even current artists putting out similar stuff but done better. He's even got a member of BLINK 18FRIKKIN2 playing with him, yet what he's doing sounds, to me and my old fogey ears, derivative and unoriginal and played poorly to boot!
I am finally far too old to understand the music of the youth. AND NOW I FIND OUT THAT HE'S ONLY 9 YEARS YOUNGER THAN ME?!? WE'RE THE SAME GENERATION! Time to put me out to pasture...
Nah bro, I'm 20, and I'll never understand his dumpster fires. He has like two good songs.
People like him because he is tall skinny white and slightly good looking. Also the tattoos. That's it.

I'm a fan of Eminem and I can say confidently that MGK was soooo asking for it! All Em did was break down MGK's "Rap Devil" song line by line and backfired it at him. He was defending himself and it didn't go well for MGK. That's what you get when you mess with the greatest rapper of all times and MGK knew it but he was trying to get some attention! He needs to fucking grow up cause he actually has talent.

There's definitely something sympathetic about having dreams you'll never be good enough to attain, no matter how hard you work.

MGK's punk rock album was actually very good for his debut, and he's got some really nice rap songs and "freestyles". Definitely over hated because of the Em beef. The only problem is that he needs to stop making beef for no reason.
Beef doesn't work in the rock and metal world like it does in the rap world and you gotta really keep beef going in the rap world if you start it or you come out and publicly quash it with one another.
I think a lot of the people that were listening to pop punk style music before he came around, hate him the most. He and all his fans claim him as a pop punk act, but being pretty into the actual pop punk scene, it's hilarious, because in the actual pop punk scene he's kind of a joke. No one thats actively into pop punk listens to him, its people that listen to pop music that like him. That's why his music plays on radio pop music stations.
Mgk "bringing back rock" has to be the funniest thing ive heard today.he's a little boy playing at being a rock star dissing the real rock and metal legends.what he's doing isnt new or fresh it's just a more pop version of blink 182

I think the problem that MGK is gonna face is that he's not only dissed metal legends in slipknot but pretty much every band saying there aren't any real rock stars. I think this is gonna to lead to him being looked down upon by all bands in the genre and those working the same rock and metal festivals as him

MGK didn’t change genres because out of pressure or fear. After the whole Rap Devil situation, he released 2 rap albums before changing to pop/punk-rock. It was a natural transition, especially taking in count that he’s friends with Yungblud, Iann Dior and Travis Barker. They’re all kinda emo. But yeah, he needs to control everything he says and does. As a fan I can say that he’s an excellent artist. General Admission is great, Bloom is his best album so far, Hotel Diablo and Tickets to My Downfall are also great projects. He should focus on making good music and that’s pretty much it.
MGK should be happy that he has silly women to keep his career alive because he is “cute, blonde and tall”. FOH. The guy needs to pivot because he lost all credibility with the hip hop community. And he will have to povot to country sooner rather than later

@@ishmael802 Y'all love speaking on things y'all don't know anything about. The only "credibility" MGK lost was from Em stans who didn't rock with him in the first place, that's it. A brief look at his discography and you'd see he has 4 rap albums and one punk rock album. He gets plenty of respect from his rap peers, just look at who's worked with him over the past decade. Rappers from Jeezy, DMX, Bun B, Yo Gotti and Bone Thugs to Trippie Red and Migos. Eminem stans definitely aren't representative of the hiphop community lol.
Also, MGK has ALWAYS repped a punk rocker who just so happens to rap aesthetic/vibe. I remember his BET Cypher, when he first came onto the scene being signed to Bad Boy, and he came out looking like a rocker, I say that to say him doing a punk rock album is not surprising to me, but IYKYK.
MGK is a year older than I am, and that blows my mind. I enjoy some of his pop punk songs, but I'm not a fan of the childish attitude. Being a musician doesn't mean being an asshole to people and past drug use and mental illness isn't an excuse either. Corey is nearly my dad's age and needs to grow up as well.

Id love to see MGK roll up to a REAL punk show in the south central. Hes in dire need of a rude awakening.
Mgk found that being a polarizing figure brings more attention to him and that means free advertising for him with everybody talking about him. However he needs to learn to be more subtle at the same time if he wants to continue in music.
I like your point about people's aversion to (hip hop artists or rappers) changing genres. As a rock/ metal guy, I think it's pretty cool when guys trade out loops and samples for more organic sounds, and visa versa. It's one of the things that I've heard people at concerts talk about, the lack of "musicianship" in those genres (particularly). There's an argument to be made about the artists motives, but since we can't look into peoples minds, I accept at face value that these artists are trying new forms of creativity. We call them artists for a reason...
In reference to rock music fans- it really depends on the age of the fan. There were actually polls done in several groups im in about him (maybe the mods were trying to figure out the right angle to approach mgk with). They asked a total of 15k ppl across 3 different but related groups their opinions.
Roughly 60% of millenials think he is cringey or a downright poser. The remaining 40% either don't know him or like him. The portion that liked him (can't remember the %) often had a child who was a fan of MGK.
As for Gen Z members of the groups (which were the smallest age group represented in the groups), a little over 50% consider themselves a fan of his. The remaining 50% either don't have an opinion (millenials werent as neutral) or don't like him (and those that don't like him feel that way for a reason that is sometimes not music related. Millenials tended not go like him for music issues. Gen Z would bring up social issues that deemed him "problematic").
Gen X- something like 15% viewed him favorably. That 15% often had children who were fans of MGK. The rest didn't know him or viewed him comically- they didn't think he was serious.
This is an important comment with a lot of important information that applies to things besides mgk. Great comment.

I really liked MGK when he first came out, his earliest stuff is my favorite. I think the fame went to his head, which sucks because he can make good music and be someone to draw inspiration from if he wants to. That said, there was absolutely no reason for him to run his mouth about Slipknot. I never listened to their type of music, but I have respect for their success.... MGK really screwed up doing that.
In all I hope he grows up a bit and gets his life and career together. Eh, it is what it is.
I have liked MGK for years, but it's been getting harder and harder to enjoy his work due to how he is off the mic.
I don’t know why this title made me laugh my ass off 😂😂
I knew it was a banger title
Hotel diablo is so underrated 🙁🙁
Ok… I was born in 76, yes I’m Gen X. I’ve been fortunate to grow up listening to some of the greatest artists of all time, Rock, Rap, Hip-Hop you name it. Back in day everyone had their own sound and they made their name by putting out badass music. We didn’t have social media where we could puss out from a thousand miles away. We lived in stores like Musicland and we went to live shows every weekend. I’m white and never felt out of place going to see Snoop or Dre, and went with black friends to see Ozzy. Back then guys wanted to collaborate and make kickass music. Sure there was beef but the music was always great. MGK is trying to be relevant by attacking the giants. It turns heads for a little while but at the end of the day it’s the music that fills the seats. I live in Milwaukee Wisconsin. We have an annual music festival called SummerFest, we have an iconic intimate venue called the Rave / Eagles ballroom. Rage against the Machine played at Alpine Valley. I love it all, and I hate MGK. If he wants to be a god he needs to make music and that’s it
Mgk hater all negative 🙄🙄
@@thevisionary666 MGK is a bad artist
I am similar age as you and also grew up in the walkman days and in the Milwaukee Area. Love the RAVE! Trading and copying tapes was a thing back then. It was how music was shared and enjoyed with people. The world changed. Music is now so easily gathered, curated and even pushed down your throat. No need to go searching for it at music stores, at yes, physical brick and mortar locations. There was so much excitement when you picked up a new album, listen to it and then want to share it with your friends that is GONE!
As for MGK. I didn't really learn about him until the Eminem beef which I can say I was rather grossly engaged in. I found it amusing similarly to the east coast west coast beef. I was thinking "Oh are we going to get some new music with shots fired all each other for a year years?" Part of me was hoping so. Though I personally think M won the battle I did like Rap Devil. Its catchy and has some good elements. To have the stones to push something you Eminem like that when everyone knows not to is in my opinion pretty punk / metal move.
Now with him moving to new genres. He wants to make money. Period. It isn't about the art for him I don't think. You can see it. He's jumped artistic lines on multiple occasions. Now for artists to do that there is nothing wrong per say but it seems fake and artificial from my viewpoint. I listened to his older rap stuff and his new pop punk blink 182 wannabe stuff and its stale. It seems forced and fake. He isn't authentic. Though he might have some punkish ways to his personality but I don't think he understands the premise.
In my thoughts he only wants attention. Media whore. Why else make these changes? If he loved rap he wouldn't have switched. Fan or not I think many "Music" fans will agree he isn't doing anything special. He has hints of glimmer from time to time but in 20 years will anyone be talking about him musically?
@@foxlied his music is honestly not bad.
@ProfPolish. I feel you! In my opinion, MGKs music is good. I just wish he would make more of it and STFU. Get to work, son!
Never been a big fan of rap, but I could get behind Lil Wayne's lil rock moment. It was pretty fun, and it never felt like he was trying to fully be a rockstar. It was mostly a homage to what a good number of rappers and most artists are after, the mega fame to the point of not having to worry about anything. Everyone knows the saying 'sex drugs and rock n roll'.
As far as MGK, he honestly feels like he should have been rock to begin with. When I first heard the name Machine Gun Kelly I thought it was a new rock band.
when patrick upload u know it’s a good day
I grew up with Japanese visual kei , then went into western metal , stumble on mgk and he brought something familiar to me , with his lyrics and his looks , I know I’m one in a million but I literally opened my ears more to rap due to him , this was years ago tho , by black flag album
He is a pop singer with a guitar. And he needs to learn that.
MGK will forever be one of the best MC's out there in my book, Eminem is one of the best MCS out there Slipknot is a bad ass f****** band all the hate needs to stop! this whole beef thing is for the birds rock and roll , rap whatever he's an artist kudos for that!
@loveutill theendoftimes I could have told you that!!👌
@@AG-xy6id if you think mgk was one of the best MCs you definitely don't listen to much hip hop
@@AndrewB23 dude you guys don't listen I said" is one of the best"( hence one of the best) I didn't say WAS one of the best .... "i said IS ONE of the best! " there's a lot of wonderful and brilliant and talented MC's in the hip hop game and I've been listening to hip Hop since the late '80s I'm from California I like West Coast hip Hop MGK and Eminem are not West Coast hip Hop but they are by far two of the best rappers out there there are a lot more I just haven't named them, I grew up listening to Tupac Bone thugs digital underground biggie smalls Nas Beastie boys ice cube Snoop Dogg Dr Dre NWA Warren g Andre nickatina E-40 AKA Earl Steven selection the ambassador of the Bay yay area I'm pretty sure you know who that is I love G-Eazy Chris Webby man I listen to a wide selection of hip Hop I also listen to rock classic rock and country I just named a bunch of the best hip hop MC's out there who do you listen to Andrew?? Lil xan whack Lil Nas x cardi f****** b all that Mumble rap b******* today's wack f****** rap!
@@AndrewB23 before you say that to somebody about not listening to hip Hop I would rethink questions or statements that you throw out there cuz you don't know who the f*** I am! or what I listen to or how long I've been listening to it!
Something is the matter with him mentally. I think that's what leads to him creating unnecessary problems
Honestly I won’t be surprised if he gets bullied out of punk rock
He gives off very poser vibes and if you’ve ever had contact with the punk community you know sure as hell that we /really/ don’t like posers lmao
(Edit: This comment is meant to be a JOKE, I am aware of the toxic environment of the punk community regarding gatekeeping and I do not condone it)
Lmfao, gatekeeping music is childish. Let the man perform what he wants to.
Sure disrespecting legends is bad but still gatekeeping ???
@@waynewayne8419 I agree. Gatekeeping music is childish, and my original comment was meant to be a joke
But I’m not talking about music; I’m talking about the community itself
If you’re a punk and you listen to MGK, cool, good for you, but it’s him trying to act as though he’s a part of a community that is very much tied to a specific ideology that, judging by his comments towards Slipknot, he doesn’t really understand or connect with
To be fair, I don’t know a whole ton about MGK, so hey, maybe he does connect with that punk ideology and I’m uninformed, and if I am, I rescind my joke
But I’m less trying to “gatekeep” the music in my joke, I’m just a tad protective I suppose over a community that’s stood for certain values for many years
@@waynewayne8419 it's not gatekeeping if you're doing it to keep toxic behavior out of the community, but okay. I don't even like slipknot, but hating on people art is weak.
@@scarletraine5681 Wouldn't exactly call punk a hyper specific ideology when you look into its historical roots, it has fluctuated in the general ideology of the community A LOT, in fact it really only ever seems to maintain its anti establishment motif(Given besides hot topic thats what its most known for), and even then thats not even always present, especially in punks treatment of political topics.
I don't disagree with you saying that punk as a community wouldn't Accept MGK, but its not because the community is a steadfast pillar of a specific set of principles, and MGK doesn't uphold those same beliefs.
@@nicholaskarras2759 oh yeah for sure, punk has definitely fluctuated a lot over the years, but like you said it’s always maintained that anti-establishment vibe, and mgk just rlly doesn’t feel antiestablishment. honestly looking at some stories ab mgk and his lyrics he seems like a fine guy who writes decent music, but the beef with Slipknot really just kinda rubs me the wrong way as the exact reason as to why he would never really be considered punk tbh
MGK is a walking L
How
@@Damagex007 he's not really a walking L as far as I know, I really don't follow his music tbh. I wasn't really being serious
@@bingbang2 he really is tho
Personally I think he could have came in fine switching from rap to rock if instead of targeting other bands and trying to do the hip-hop beef thing It he just focused on working with some other artist who are already in the genre He did a song called spotlight featuring Lzzy Hale awhile ago. I think if he would’ve done a couple of songs featuring other artists already established in the genre before jumping over with his own full album he would’ve had a much better entry and when Have had the benefit of working with people who already know what they’re doing.
In fairness, punk rock and metal have always had a bit of friction. They’re both Rock but on different areas of the genre spectrum. I remember Joe Strummer of the Clash being critical of acts like Van Halen and Twisted Sister. MGK isn’t totally off brand.
True but mgk is a pop star making pop music with Travis Barker playing drums over it. He has zero credibility In the punk scene and they all just make fun of him. And Travis seems to have lost a lot of the scenes respect too. Between making pop music with a rapper turned pop star, and marrying into the Kardashians, it seems like everyone thinks he's a joke too. It's kinda sad to see everyone in the pop punk scene wanting to turn on Travis. 😒
@@katebeckinsnail910 lol it’s hilarious how we fans talk about all these A-F list celebrities like we actually know them and their circles. Who the fuck cares. As long as ppl making whatever music they want and happy doing it; I’m here for it.
@@MarcDshort108 I think it's weird that you care so much about my opinion about people that you don't care about.
MGK is about as punk rock as Uncle Jesse's band from Full House. If you are interested in what an actual somewhat commercially successful and accessible punk rock band looks like I would watch IDLES live. MGK is going for a certain aesthetic, the actual music he puts out sounds the same as all the other over-produced, canned, soul-less, music that people make with looped beats on their Mac books
MGK is done, is irrelevant..Dont know why he has beef when he is irrelevant
He's stated to finding young teens attractive in a since deleted tweet, so it makes complete sense why he'd switch genres to punk pop; a genre absolutely overflowing with pedos
He's gonna change to Salsa and insult Mark Anthony probably.
HELPP THIS COMMENT SJSJHDSH
Yeah whatever, but the "mgk bringing rock back" statement is pretty lame when rock hasn't even died in the first place.
2020 and 2021 has had the most rock releases I've seen in years!
The drug issue made me actually feel bad for all the jokes I said when this all happened pre-Slipknot beef. I've had my lows with drugs and mental health and felt self-destruction happening. Be smoove MGK.
Same bro. I almost drank myself into oblivion. Got kicked out of the army for it, got arrested for it, it is trying to ruin my life, to this day. How do I stop?
You have to really REALLY want it. Surround yourself with people you trust and know about your problem talk to them everyday about it. They even have medicine Naltrexone that can help. Good luck I’ve been sober for 5 years
@@daryldixon3685 sober for 29 days right now, fentanyl. You have to, and I mean, REALLY want what’s best for you and the people you love
I currently have a crippling drug/alcohol issue mixed with the desire to hang myself on a daily basis so MGK can cry himself to sleep along with every other depressed, successful millionaire for all I care lol. Their problems are genuine but they can fuck themselves as I sit here wondering where I'm going to live a month from now.
I have empathy for everyone whether I like them or not and I wish them all the best, but to be brutally honest, some people's problems are laughable compared to an overwhelming majority of the population.

@@Outerspacejunky hey! Congrats! I hope you're doing well
2000s: everybody hates Nickelback.

I listen to both genres casually. I disagree that the interview remarks were "obviously sarcastic." You don't call people motherfuckers if you're making a sarcastic joke, and it comes off as genuine criticism. I'd also imagine that the "failed rap artist" comments are more likely caused by the fact that Taylor was probably only familiar with the most mainstream rappers. MGK's rap albums are decent, but I have a bunch of hip hop heads as friends, and NOBODY was talking about him before the Eminem diss track. He's no Kendrick or Cole. If you put yourself in Taylor's very comfy shoes, MGK looks like a rapper that fell out of the mainstream a while ago, and only got back in by starting shit with one of the best. And to top it off, the overall consensus was that he lost the fight he started. So you're Corey Taylor, and you see that artist start shit, lose, then drop an album in a different genre and immediately start criticizing the mainstays of that genre. It's easy to see why Taylor might be a bit prickly about it, and why he would consider MGK a failed rap artist.
