Rap God vs Rap Devil

The fight between Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly. Eminem (Marshall Mathers) and Machine Gun Kelly (MGK, Colson Baker) had a public feud that originated from a series of events and diss tracks in 2018. The main catalyst for their conflict can be traced back to Eminem's album "Kamikaze" which was released in August 2018.

• Eminem's "Kamikaze": Eminem's album "Kamikaze" included a track called "Not Alike," where Eminem took shots at various rappers. In the song, he criticized artists who he felt were imitating his style, and he specifically mentioned Machine Gun Kelly, referring to him as "a clone."

• MGK's Response ("Rap Devil"): In response to Eminem's diss in "Not Alike" Machine Gun Kelly released a diss track titled "Rap Devil" in September 2018. The title itself is a play on Eminem's "Rap God". In the track, MGK criticized Eminem's age, career, and accused him of hindering MGK's career.

• Eminem's Counter ("Killshot"): Eminem responded to MGK's "Rap Devil" with his own diss track, "Killshot" released later in September 2018. In "Killshot" Eminem addressed MGK's criticisms and defended his own legacy.

The feud gained considerable attention within the hip-hop community and among fans. Both artists took to social media to discuss the diss tracks and engage with their respective fan bases.
