His second and third albums, General Admission (2015) and Bloom (2017), achieved similar commercial success the latter included the single " Bad Things" (with Camila Cabello), which peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. He released his debut studio album, Lace Up, in 2012, which peaked at number four on the US Billboard 200 and contained his breakout single " Wild Boy" (featuring Waka Flocka Flame). Machine Gun Kelly released four mixtapes between 20 before signing with Bad Boy Records. He is noted for his genre duality across alternative rock with hip hop. Even if it’s wholly based on aesthetics.Colson Baker (born April 22, 1990), known professionally as Machine Gun Kelly ( MGK), is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, musician, and actor. He’s always been an antic artist, but these days, with Fox and friends-including Barker and his superstar girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian completing their powder-pegged quadrant-it seems that Kelly has finally landed on the A-list. Obviously, the gatekeepers of rock are none too pleased that this manchild is stepping into the game and immediately pissing off the genre’s icons, but lame provocation is par for the course when it comes to MGK. He offers precious little in the way of actual art and so much more in nauseating histrionics. There are fewer more embarrassing examples of the dreadful state of the influencer economy than the fact that MGK has risen to stardom. His unearned stardom is an unsavory marriage of shock-and-awe foolishness, mediocre artmaking, and prominent friendships with the likes of Pete Davidson while posing at events with Halsey and, now, Megan Fox. Later, he was arrested and released on bail for disorderly conduct in St. That same Florida weekend, the artist spat vodka in a fan’s mouth, tossed a little person during a show, and members of his posse broke a bottle over a man’s head. During a 2012 show in Fort Lauderdale, the artist sat half-naked on stage and refused to play another record until a girl who really loves him stripped on stage. MGK’s celebrity is steeped in subpar music and creepy behavior. “His unearned stardom is an unsavory marriage of shock-and-awe foolishness, mediocre artmaking, and prominent friendships with the likes of Pete Davidson while posing at events with Halsey and, now, Megan Fox.” It’s ALL good, and I’m stoked for him.”įor what it’s worth, Taylor didn’t necessarily have to shit talk about MGK on the Rockcast, but hey, the white male id knows no bounds, right? Well, the war of words has now bled into reality and from what we know about metalheads, you kinda don’t wanna mess with their icons. Nothing personal, I just think if this is what MGK is looking for, someone else is the guy to do it. Taylor, in his reply, said of the song: “I listened to the ideas, and to be honest, I don’t think I’m the right guy for the track. An hour after the tweet, Taylor posted text messages from Travis Barker-the superstar drummer who co-produced MGK’s album-with notes from Kelly himself saying that he was “stoked and HONORED” Taylor was on it at all. “He got mad about it, and talked shit to a magazine about the album he was almost on.” Despite their age difference, it seems as if MGK may have forgotten a modern invention called “receipts,” of which Taylor had plenty. The very next day, MGK explained, via Twitter, that the verse Corey did for the album “was fucking terrible” which was why it didn’t make the cut.
