In a recent development that has reignited the long-standing feud between Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) and Eminem, a demo version of MGK’s upcoming 2024 single, “Elpisto,” has leaked online. The snippet, particularly the outro, has drawn significant attention as it appears to contain pointed references to the rap icon, Eminem.
The lyrics in question include a provocative line: “Don’t make me clean out the closet and bring out the shovel.” This phrase echoes Eminem’s own song “Cleanin’ Out My Closet,” a track where the rapper addresses personal grievances. MGK continues, “I seen all the subliminals. [ __ ] that. I don’t keep it subtle,” signaling that he is ready to confront the barbs thrown at him in Eminem’s previous tracks. In another notable line, he asserts, “All the songs he was dissing me on, I try to let it settle. I don’t worship the devil. That’s just what they say when you get on this level,” suggesting a defiance against the narrative that has followed his career since the feud began.
The ongoing rivalry between MGK and Eminem has been a topic of substantial discussion within the hip-hop community, with fans passionately divided over their respective allegiances. Since the feud ignited in 2018 with MGK’s track “Rap Devil,” the two have exchanged lyrical jabs, leading to a complex relationship characterized by both competition and disdain. With this new release, MGK appears to be reviving the tension, prompting fans to speculate on whether this is merely lyrical sparring or something more profound.
Social media platforms are already buzzing with reactions to MGK’s latest diss. Fans from both camps are weighing in, debating the implications of the lyrics and the potential for further conflict. For some, this ongoing rivalry is a testament to the competitive nature of hip-hop, while for others, it raises questions about the maturity of artists who engage in such feuds.
As MGK prepares to release “Elpisto,” the anticipation surrounding the track, and the accompanying drama with Eminem, continues to grow. The hip-hop community remains on high alert, eager to see how this feud will evolve and whether it will lead to more collaborations or confrontations in the future. One thing is certain: the rivalry between MGK and Eminem is far from over, and fans are watching closely as both artists navigate this intricate web of lyrical exchanges.
