Sadly it seems that white rappers are facing the similar plight of women in the rap industry. For some reason, there seems to be a certain territoriality when one or few rappers of a certain background (or sex) are thriving which often leaves to beef as seen between Lil Kim & Nicki, Foxy vs. Lil Kim, and pretty much every female emcee.
Cleveland Rager Machine Gun Kelly and Alabama spitter Yelawolf seem to be falling victim to this phenomenon as a result of constant comparisons due to their IDGAF partying personas, tattoos, quick flows, and of course...their race. Recently, Machine Gun Kelly faced the comparisons head on when being interviewed on the Breakfast Club and started firing shots all over the studio when Yelawolf was mentioned.
Watch below at around the 11:30 mark to hear MGK admit that he feels like Yelawolf took shots at him, especially during the BET Cypher! Would you agree?
Here are the lines from Yelawolf's Cypher appearance that MGK's probably referring to:
Plenty of white boys to pick from this yearI guess MGK would be offended by that, but it was a freestyle cypher. Trash talking comes along with that!
But before you pick a pepper, you better pick up your heater
Cause even Peter Piper could pick up a mic
But what it's like to pick a fight with me is like putting Nikes on a cheetah
After MGK's Breakfast Club inteview, Yelawolf responded when he visited Bootleg Kev's radio show. Hear what he had to say below!
Welp. That explains that!
After hearing both sides, do you think MGK had a right to speak out or was he reacting to Yelawolf's lines based on some insecurities he has about his abilities?
