The first verse was for his daughter, the second for his dad. Their relationship was strained but I think they patched things up before Hotel Diablo came up. He's talked about this in a few of his songs in Hotel Diablo, I think.
The Atlantic & pacific bar was about his dad. As is the whole second verse. He was trying to get a deal & his dad abandoned him and moved to the Middle East
I’m so glad you did this reaction with your kids. Casie and MGK’s relationship is amazing she comes on stage with him, and is in his Young Man video you should react to that one too. 😍
This song is just one example of why we ride so fucking hard for him. He has been showing his pain and life to his fans for years. We all feel like we are his family. We are his friends. Anyways, I'm rambling. Lol. Love the channel, love the fam. Est ❌❌ Lace Up
I was front row at a show in Cleveland when he performed this song. He was on the floor and crying. (I was bawling like a baby) this song hits the heart so hard. Thank you for checking this out.
This one hits hard af, MGK is really a passionate artist, a beautiful soul behind all that "savage" act that characterize him. React to "Death in my pockets" or "Story of the stairs", pleaseee!
So the second verse is him talking about his father. When his parents got divorced his dad was a missionary and left the country to spread religion. MGK had started living with his aunt because he hated his mother for leaving his father. You can see MGKs growth because when he starts his career he talks about how he hates his father and he didn't need him. But as he grows with tracks like this he talks about his father and he mentions stuff like he's sorry for being a rebellious adolescent and that all he wanted was his father to be around and how he's struggling because he wants to hate him for leaving but at the same time he so desperately wants that reconciliation with his father. Another great song you should check is, 27 by MGK. That and love on the brain cover by MGK
I love seeing your family react with you!!! What a blessed father you are! Could you please do a family react to MGK Chasing Pavements. Cmon people! Let’s get 40 likes so we can see Chasing Pavements!!!!
Dope reaction man you did it again, This song give's me similar vibe's to one of his older joint's MGK had a song back in 2012 called "All We Have" and at the start of the music video he's like talkin to his daughter about why he can't always be around while not knowin somebody is recordin in the other room and the whole song is dope you should probably check it out with your daughter bro.
8:00 mark is the part we were all waiting for. This man brings out so many emotions. I keep telling you there’s a song for every emotion. This is exactly why we wanted to see this one with your kids ❤️❤️. You have an amazing family, Van!
Man I've been a big MGK fan for about 4 years or more...havent heard this joint in a long while...still makes me emotional because I have a daughter and I work a fuck load.. and my dad and I aren't close because he chose not to be there...love this song, thank you for bringing this back for me 💪🤜🤛
That line about the Pacific and the Atlantic was about his dad leaving to be a missionary and the Atlantic is Atlantic Records a record deal with the label
I am so glad y’all finally got to this request, it as so most of his songs tell you more of what he has struggled with. Him & Cassie have an amazing relationship & have for years now. Him & his father finally made up, mother still nowhere to be found after she left him at age 9 for another man. He is first & foremost an amazing father & man! Thanks for all of the MGK reactions. Love it.
his daughter is also on the mv of “young man”, it’s a dope song to bop to. check out one of his older songs “hold on” (shut up) & also check out his other songs on his latest album “hotel diablo” they’re all dope i promise! “burning memories” & “death in my pocket” are some good suggestions
Now that you've checked out this song, you have to listen to "Story of the stairs" and "Burning memories" at some point, if you haven't already. It doesn't even need to be a reaction (though we'd love to see it); those songs complete a more recent thematic trio made up of stories regarding Kells' background with his parents and it's worth getting the picture the lyrics paint for you. You should also check out "Merry go round" and "Dark side of the moon". In my opinion, those 2 have some of the best storytelling Kells has ever released! They're dark, but very reflective stories (especially in terms of our society), that can hit close to home with the themes explored in them.
You was getting ready too say you was a fan van lol I know that is what you was getting ready too say and you backed out lol but that is ok you will say it one day ..
Hey guys Love your videos, and that you relate to the honesty of these artists, the second verse is about MGK and his dad’s relationship, I’m sure you’ve already seen other comments saying this, but it really adds a deeper layer to the whole song. Keep up the great content !
Dope reaction! You should react to the very short video "Machine Gun Kelly's daughter sings the alphabet", it is the cutest video and it shows how happy he is to be a dad (you could react to it before an actual song reaction)
I was in Vegas on floor 22 in Nobu tower when I got an Insta saying "You're a father and she's 8 and wants to meet you"... this man has made me understand we are fathers. We gotta be there. It's tough and easy at the same time. Much love fam!
I think others have mentioned it but the Atlantic/Pacific line is a reference to when his dad abandoned him to become a missionary in either the Middle East or Africa I can’t remember exactly, while MGK was trying to make his name in music and get signed to Atlantic Records.
There is an acoustic version with Leroy🔥💔. Please react to “MGK and his daughter Casie perform Home” (Denver Hotel Diablo tour summer 2019. Also “MGK and his daughter sing At My Best”. Each is less than a minute so you could also check out “MGK Drum Lessons” ( for Dirt movie) and “ “MGK Messing on Drums: Right Hand to God” (Nipsey Hussle cover).
10:20 "i gotta say it!" Me inside my head: please say EST while flashing the L for the EST family. But Nope, you keep on blue balling us. Its fair, nice reaction tho! And it seems like you do a good job being a father 💪🏽 keep it up LFR Family
VAN IS A FAN! VAN IS A FAN! VAN IS A FAN! Lol You should react to “Therapy” from this same album. And “Eddie Cane” as well. How does the merch thing work?
React to Kaan septic , Kaancepts and Oochie walley Also Montana of 300 Middle child remix , Favorite teacher and Chiraq vs ny and Last Wuntayk Timmy What's Poppin Remix , Welcome to the party remix and Pop out remix

He got in touch with his dad after his aunt passed from cancer
And as of July 6th,2020, his dad passed away..
His dads dead now. In Hotel Diablo he mentioned they said his dad had about a year left to live and a year later he died
The Atlantic & pacific bar was about his dad. As is the whole second verse. He was trying to get a deal & his dad abandoned him and moved to the Middle East
I’m so glad you did this reaction with your kids. Casie and MGK’s relationship is amazing she comes on stage with him, and is in his Young Man video you should react to that one too. 😍

blessed with another MGK reaction 💯
I was front row at a show in Cleveland when he performed this song. He was on the floor and crying. (I was bawling like a baby) this song hits the heart so hard. Thank you for checking this out.
I saw him in OKC and Wichita a couple of days before General Admission released and he cried then too. I love this song!!
Wow, that's so powerful.
This one hits hard af, MGK is really a passionate artist, a beautiful soul behind all that "savage" act that characterize him. React to "Death in my pockets" or "Story of the stairs", pleaseee!
Great reaction! MGK - Burning Memories is pretty Fire & The Gunner has some BARS
Love to see you react to MGK's Stereo...one of his early ones. Cool video, fun song!
Yes!!!! One of his most fun songs for sure!!!
Pretty sure he did already
@@jonesie5607 I looked through the list to see. Maybe missed it, but I can't find it.
Melanie Gibbs I’m not 💯 sure but I feel like I seen it lol
He hasn’t done Stereo yet but he needs to!

It’s tough to listen without shedding some tear or showing emotion.

Dope reaction man you did it again, This song give's me similar vibe's to one of his older joint's MGK had a song back in 2012 called "All We Have" and at the start of the music video he's like talkin to his daughter about why he can't always be around while not knowin somebody is recordin in the other room and the whole song is dope you should probably check it out with your daughter bro.
HABITS is a phenomenal song. I think you would enjoy iy
I love him so much and MGK loves his daughter so much. It makes me cry because it is so beautiful.
One of his best songs ever! It is absolutely amazing and raw! Most men rappers or men in general would never show this side!
8:00 mark is the part we were all waiting for. This man brings out so many emotions. I keep telling you there’s a song for every emotion. This is exactly why we wanted to see this one with your kids ❤️❤️. You have an amazing family, Van!
I love your family reactions! Your daughter makes me laugh. Love how much you guys smile.
Second verse was directed towards his dad
Mgk sublime remix

th-cam.com/video/iJrzzeDtLlM/w-d-xo.html
You should react to "Story of the stairs".
Please do more videos like this!! Soo good!! Listen to death in my pocket from Hotel Diablo by mgk
this is such an underrated mgk song
Great music video. Cool to see you gettin your fam involved. God blessed.
I am so glad y’all finally got to this request, it as so most of his songs tell you more of what he has struggled with. Him & Cassie have an amazing relationship & have for years now. Him & his father finally made up, mother still nowhere to be found after she left him at age 9 for another man. He is first & foremost an amazing father & man! Thanks for all of the MGK reactions. Love it.
Gotta do Death in my pocket or Story of the stairs, the second one pretty much explains his relationship with his mother too so it is a must
You and your kids should react to some of the Cassie & mgk video complilations!
Merry go round MGK!!
You should listen to Death in my Pocket to hear how his relationship is with his dad now
his daughter is also on the mv of “young man”, it’s a dope song to bop to. check out one of his older songs “hold on” (shut up) & also check out his other songs on his latest album “hotel diablo” they’re all dope i promise! “burning memories” & “death in my pocket” are some good suggestions
Finally you did this song. I looooove this reaction
There’s a live performance of this on vevo where he’s literally crying in the middle of his performance. It’s moving
Have to check out Chasing Pavements
Now that you've checked out this song, you have to listen to "Story of the stairs" and "Burning memories" at some point, if you haven't already. It doesn't even need to be a reaction (though we'd love to see it); those songs complete a more recent thematic trio made up of stories regarding Kells' background with his parents and it's worth getting the picture the lyrics paint for you.

You was getting ready too say you was a fan van lol I know that is what you was getting ready too say and you backed out lol but that is ok you will say it one day ..
He keeps trying to fight it. He’s fighting a losing battle.
Very nice, you have a great family)
This song is so powerful. It’s made me cry numerous times. One of Kells best for sure.
Young man - MGK
Love this song by MGK!!!
Hey guys Love your videos, and that you relate to the honesty of these artists, the second verse is about MGK and his dad’s relationship, I’m sure you’ve already seen other comments saying this, but it really adds a deeper layer to the whole song. Keep up the great content !

I was in Vegas on floor 22 in Nobu tower when I got an Insta saying "You're a father and she's 8 and wants to meet you"... this man has made me understand we are fathers. We gotta be there. It's tough and easy at the same time. Much love fam!
A good one for you and the kids to react to would be Bad Habits
I think others have mentioned it but the Atlantic/Pacific line is a reference to when his dad abandoned him to become a missionary in either the Middle East or Africa I can’t remember exactly, while MGK was trying to make his name in music and get signed to Atlantic Records.
10:25 Yeah man, "this was a nice joint" for sure ahah
