I figure @Falsedawn might be the best to ask this but there's others I'm sure know FAR more than I do....
What the hell prompted Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly to suddenly show back up? I've heard the MGK son "Rap Devil" and he references some "diss" supposed Em dropped on him in that surprise album but I can't seem to find it or I don't know what to listen for.
ALSO, is there anything in what MGK said in Rap Devil that's... well... wrong? I get Em came from 8 Mile and grew up in a super SUPER shitty situation and has been through some shit but MGK has a line in there about him being rich as fuck (essentially wanting for nothing, ever again in his life) and yet he's still an angry motherfucker.
Em got butthurt because people (rightfully) thought his album Revival was hot garbage, so he sneak dropped an album called Kamikaze using the age old method of namedropping everyone under the sun for notoriety (See: Lamar, Kendrick). One of those people was MGK (on the track 'Not Alike'), because apparently Em can't respond to comments made in 2012 any less than 6 years later. He got his notoriety from his namedropping (Kamikaze only got the reception it did because he hadn't released a hot album in a decade), MGK actually unleashed some bars and bodied him, and here we are. Look for Old Man Marshall to protect his remaining clout by any means.
