Eminem 2015 freestyle free#
“In the ’80s when we said we wrote a freestyle rap, that meant that it was a rhyme that you wrote that was free of style, meaning that it’s not a subject matter-it’s not a story about a woman, it’s not a story about poverty, it’s basically a rhyme just bragging about yourself, so it’s basically free of style. You may think you know what “freestyle” means, but the truth is a whole lot weirder than just some rhymes made up on the spot. But that hasn’t always been the case, and examining the changing meanings of the word is a three-decade story from the East Coast to the West and everywhere in between. Em’s verse was referred to in most media outlets, including BET itself, as a “freestyle.” For most hip-hop fans, when they see the term “freestyle” they think of a rhyme that is (or at least appears to be) made up on the spot. (We reached out to Em’s camp for confirmation of this but, unsurprisingly, haven’t heard back).Ī likely reason for this almost-certainly-incorrect assumption has to do with vocabulary. While Em does have a long history of rap battling-with improvised disses coming with the territory-he never publicly claimed the BET verse was off the top of his head, and the length, arc, and specificity of his tirade make it highly unlikely that it was spontaneous. But after his Trump-dissing performance on the BET Hip Hop Awards last month, there was one skill in particular that got a lot of attention.Īn article in Pitchfork in the aftermath of the broadcast claimed that the entirety of Em’s four-minute-plus performance, with the attendant theatrical gestures, was made up on the spot. As a global superstar for coming up on 20 years, there is very little that he hasn't achieved in hip-hop, and he gets his deserved credit. This record was kept for about two years.It's safe to say that Eminem is a good rapper. However, on September 14, 2018, Eminem released the single "Killshot" and within 24 hours it had 38.1 million views which made the record for most-views in 24 hours for a rap song. Em stated that he didn't want to respond initially because it would only benefit MGK and actually boost his career.
Three days later, MGK responded with the song " RAP DEVIL" on September 3.Īfter this, Eminem released an interview with Sway Calloway, in which he was asked about the feud. On August 31, Eminem released the surprise album Kamikaze, where he dissed several artists, including MGK.
MGK then collaborated with Tech N9ne in March 2018, and subliminally dissed Eminem. In 2017, MGK was on Power 106 FM and did a freestyle with the LA Leakers, where he claimed Em had banned him from Shade 45. In 2015, however, Eminem banned Kelly from going to Shade 45, the radio station that he owned. In 2012, MGK tweeted about Hailie Jade Mathers: "ok so I just saw a picture of Eminem's daughter.and I have to say, she is hot as fuck, in the most respectful way possible cuz Em is king."Īfterwards, MGK claimed to apologize to Eminem behind the scenes. " Killshot" is a diss track written by Eminem and Illa da Producer in response to Machine Gun Kelly's song " RAP DEVIL" that was released in 2018 after Eminem dissed him in the song " Not Alike" ( Kamikaze).
