It didn't take long for rapper Machine Gun Kelly to fire back at rap rival Eminem in a new diss track, just days after he was dragged by the rapper on his new album "Kamikaze." Machine Gun Kelly dropped the NSFW song "Rap Devil" (a clever play on the name of Eminem's song "Rap God") on Monday in response to the Detroit rapper's diss against him on "Not Alike." The two have had issues since 2012, when MGK tweeted that Eminem's daughter Hailie was "hot as (expletive)," which he has since said resulted in him being blackballed in the industry. Eminem's daughter was 16 at the time. Eminem addressed the 2012 tweet in "Not Alike": "If you wanna come at me with a sub, Machine Gun / And I'm talkin' to you, but you already know who the (expletive) you are, Kelly / I don't use sublims and sure as (expletive) don't sneak-diss / But keep commenting on my daughter Hailie." MGK fired back in his new track, rapping: "Mad about something I said in 2012 / Took you six years and a surprise album just to come with a diss." MGK goes for the jugular, dropping insults about everything from Eminem's "weird" beard and his "corny hats" to "the fact your last four albums is as bad as your selfie." "Homie we get it, we know that you're the greatest rapper alive / (Expletive) dweeb, all you do is read the dictionary and stay inside," Machine Gun Kelly says on the song.

MGK got in some digs about Eminem's age, saying: "Knees weak of old age / The real Slim Shady can't stand up." Eminem addressed comparisons between the two on his own diss track, saying: "We are not alike, there's not a likeness on the mic." "You say you're affiliated with murderers, killas / The people you run with are thuggin' / But you're just a wannabe gunna," Eminem raps on the track.

Eminem stepped-up his ongoing bitter battle with Machine Gun Kelly with a new diss song -- Killshot -- that directly targets his rival rapper.

Not only does Em take aim with his spit-fire lyrics, he also dropped the new tune along with album artwork that appears to depict a cartoon picture of MGK's face inside the scope of a weapon with his eyes covered by two red Xs. The legendary Detroit rapper also took aim at Kelly's diss track -- Rap Devil -- which he released earlier this month in response to Eminem's first MGK diss track -- 2017's Not Alike. 'Tough talk from a rapper payin' millions for security a year,' Kelly says in Rap Devil.

'Ok so I just saw a picture of Eminem's daughter... and I have to say, she is hot as f***, in the most respectful way possible cuz Em is king,' he tweeted in 2012 as reported by People. It took a few years for Em -- whose real name is Marshall Mathers -- to get word of the comment, but since then it has been a war of words between the two. In fact, MKG has claimed that the post led him to being 'blackballed' in the industry. He also took to Twitter to explain his Rap Devil track: 'I'm standing up for not just myself, but my generation. I'm doing the same s*** 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.' Eminem's new single comes on the heels of his tenth studio album Kamikaze, which was released two weeks ago. It opened at number one on the Billboard 200, selling about 434,000 album-equivalent units in the first week.

Then Machine Gun Kelly responded by dragging him over hot coal." Another social media user said the renewed rap beef perfectly sums up 2018: "Okay we are officially witnessing an Eminem x Machine Gun Kelly rap beef. LMAO. How do I exit 2018?" A social media user gave MGK props for coming for the "rap god": "Ok @machinegunkelly I will give you credit for having the balls to dissing Eminem and having the bars to back it up. Name any other rapper that will do that." Another Twitter user sided with MGK: "Machine Gun Kelly bodied Eminem." Some fans stuck with Slim Shady and said they are (not so) patiently waiting for a reply. One Twitter user thanked MGK for sacrificing himself: "Thank you Machine Gun Kelly for sacrificing your career so we can hear another Eminem diss track." A social media user directed an "I'm praying for you" meme at Machine Gun Kelly after noting the rapper "dissed Eminem and name dropped (Hailie)."

It began on Eminem's new album Kamikaze, in which he responded to a disgusting 2012 tweet from Machine Gun Kelly saying Eminem's then-16-year-old daughter Hailie was "hot as fuck." A few days later, Machine Gun Kelly responded with a diss track of his own, which claimed that Eminem reached out to Diddy to hinder MGK's career and get him to apologize for the tweet.

For once, Eminem is in the right here—although this is a beef with no winners, only losers. And in a new two-part interview with Sway, because apparently it's 2002 again, Eminem addresses the beef with MGK. You know you go down a fucking wormhole of YouTube and whatever, right? So I see, ‘Machine Gun Kelly talks about Eminem’s daughter’ or whatever, right? So I’m like, ‘What the fuck?’ I click on it. Then he starts doing a press run, basically, about Hailie. I’m like, ‘What the fuck? Yo, my man better chill, right?’ So, that’s not why I dissed him. The reason I dissed him is actually a lot more petty than that. The reason that I dissed him is because he got on—first he said, 'I'm the greatest rapper alive since my favorite rapper banned me from Shade 45,' or whatever he said, right? Like I'm trying to hinder his career. I don't give a fuck about your career. You think I actually fuckin' think about you? You know how many fuckin' rappers that are better than you? You're not even in the fuckin' conversation. Honestly, Eminem isn't wrong. During the second part of the conversation, Eminem discussed why he even didn't want to respond to MGK in the first place. "Now I’m in this fuckin' weird thing, because I’m like, 'I gotta answer this motherfucker,'" he said. "And every time I do that, it makes that person—as 'irrelevant' as people say I am in hip-hop—I make them bigger by getting into this thing, where I'm like 'I want to destroy him. But I also don't want to make him bigger.' You know what I'm saying? 'Because now you're a fucking enemy' [...] I'll leave it at that. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do at this point right now." Which is kind of an interesting point.

You may be able to find the same content in another format, or you may be able to find more information, at their web site. In a surprisingly mature response, Eminem admitted that he heard MGK's diss track "Rap Devil" and it wasn't "bad for him—he's got some good lines in it." Eminem also shot down MGK's claim that he called Diddy to do something about his adversary. "I've never made a fuckin' call to Diddy. Are you fuckin' kidding me?" he explained. "It didn't even feel like a diss to me. It just felt, like, pitiful." Honestly, it all kind of is. And before you take any sides, let's not forget everything Eminem said on his very bad album.

Eminem has Machine Gun Kelly in his cross hairs. After MGK dropped a nearly five-minute diss track of the self-proclaimed "Rap God" titled "Rap Devil," Em made sure he got the last word in during an in-depth discussion of his surprise album, Kamikaze. Before we get to his expletive-filled rant about the younger rapper, here's a quick recap of their beef: It ostensibly started six years ago when MGK tweeted that Eminem's daughter, Hailie, is "hot as fuck." MGK has stated that those three words lead to him being blackballed by figures in the music industry. They also inspired lyrics to the Kamikaze song "Not Alike," in which Eminem dares Kelly to make more comments about Hailie. ADVERTISEMENT Thanks for watching! Visit Website In turn, MGK released his aforementioned diss track and wrote "FUCK RAP GOD IM THE RAP DEVIL" in all of his bios on social media. ADVERTISEMENT Thanks for watching! Visit Website ADVERTISEMENT Thanks for watching! Visit Website Now Eminem has broken his silence on "Rap Devil" by unloading on the rival artist. "It never hit my radar and then one day, you know, you go down the fucking wormhole of YouTube or whatever right, so I see 'Machine Gun Kelly talks about Eminem's daughter' whatever right, " Eminem explained to Sway Calloway in the new interview segment. "So, I'm like 'what the fuck?' I click on it…he starts doing a press run basically about Hailie. I'm like 'what the fuck? Yo, my man better chill.'" He went on to say that the comment about Hailie wasn't what sparked their battle and that he "doesn't give a fuck about [MGK's] career. "The reason I dissed him is actually a lot more petty than that. The reason that I dissed him is because he got on—first what he said 'I'm the greatest rapper alive since my favorite rapper banned me from Shade 45' or whatever he said, right? Like I'm trying to hinder his career," Eminem said. "I don't give a fuck about your career. You think I actually fucking think about you? You know how many fucking rappers are better than you? You're not even in the fucking conversation." Em didn't stop there. "Now, I'm in this fucking weird thing because I'm like I have to answer this motherfucker and every time I do that, it makes that person," he said. "As irrelevant as people say I am in hip hop, I make them bigger by getting into this thing where I'm like I want to destroy him, but I also don't want to make him bigger because now you're a fucking enemy. I'll leave it at that." We have a feeling that the MGK-Eminem beef is far from finished.
