Rap Devil (Eminem Diss)

Machine Gun Kelly's 'Rap Devil' is a direct and unfiltered diss track aimed at Eminem, one of the most iconic figures in rap history. The song is a response to Eminem's criticisms and perceived slights, and MGK doesn't hold back in his lyrical assault. From the very beginning, MGK mocks Eminem's appearance and lifestyle, calling out his beard and his reliance on security. He paints a picture of Eminem as an aging, out-of-touch artist who is still bitter and angry despite his success.

Throughout the song, MGK contrasts his own image with that of Eminem. He positions himself as the 'Rap Devil' to Eminem's 'Rap God,' suggesting that he is the new force to be reckoned with in the rap game. MGK also highlights their similarities, noting that both are single dads from the Midwest, but he uses this common ground to further emphasize Eminem's shortcomings. He accuses Eminem of being a bully who can't take a joke and of trying to sabotage younger artists like himself.

The track is filled with personal jabs and references to Eminem's past, including his famous song 'Stan' and his movie '8 Mile.' MGK questions Eminem's relevance and longevity in the industry, suggesting that he is no longer at the top of his game. He also takes aim at Eminem's relationships with other industry figures, accusing him of using his influence to blackball other artists. 'Rap Devil' is not just a diss track; it's a declaration of independence and a challenge to the old guard of rap, with MGK positioning himself as the new voice of the genre.
