it sucks to see that mgk must constantly defend / explain himself to people who don't even care. Colson is a true role model for anyone who is struggling to be accepted for who they are. I love that, no matter how famous Colson gets, he is always so true. He gives so much to his fans. No one comes close to his radiance and personality. He is a true legend and I sincerely hope he takes care of himself, and not just thinking about us (his fans), because health goes first. Love u.
This interview annoyed t'f outta me! Omg the guy doesn't know a thing about him or the movement, yet continues to make assumptions and judgements. I don't think I'd keep my cool as well as Kells
When he said "You're both white" when talking about him and Yelawolf, I got so annoyed. That was the dumbest thing ever. If anything he just proved how ignorant he was.
The point you're making works in my favor. Heard one maybe two Mike Jones song and that was it. Rosenberg's been doing this for a while and is still doing it now. I'm not an idiot...he's definitely no Oprah Winfrey but he's pretty good at what he does.
Laura Jackson He said that to provoke a response. There's an art to interviewing and sometimes people other than the interviewer and interviewee will have no idea what's going on.
My favorite MGK interview, EVER. Mainly because it shows how real he is, and how much people overlook him, and the respect people lack for him. #LaceUp
I literally think rosenberg looks completely unprepared and like this interview is completely insignificant and MGK killed it and you could see it with the way rosenberg changed how he was interviewing him after he listed everything he accomplished and his passion.
The interviewer doesn't know what Lace Up is? Listen to one of his songs and you will hear it, this guy needs to intern somewhere and learn how to interview
well the interviewers name is Peter Rosenberg and he is a vet and true og when it comes to the Hip-Hop game, but you're right he's asking dumb shit. and all these stations: Hot 97, The Breakfast Club, they always trynna spit like lessons at people in the game lol.
rosenberg needs to intern someplace? bro pete's forgotten more about hip hop than you've ever known. respect a vet like he respected mgk. quit being a stan a educate yourself before you start disregarding intelligent people
mgk was so misunderstood when he first started its crazy.. and i think some of that still continues to his day, maybe that's why he was never on the radar of many hip hop fans, ppl just assumed he was some crazy white kid trying to be gangsta when in reality he was just a young dude who came from a rough background, had a passion for hip hop and wanted to inspire other people with his music. even though his most popular song at the time was a club banger he always had substance in his lyrics, that's how he managed to build such a diehard fanbase in the first place. regardless if you like their music or not, if you're gonna interview an artist at least do a bit of research about them instead of acting like a douche and making assumptions. i know this interview is old and rosenberg ended up leaving this interview with a new respect for mgk but still, he treated him like a lil kid who has no brain and yeah ik mgk was wilding back in the day, but he was already making deep emotional tracks and keeping it real and only a few people took the time to try to understand him. well at least mgk made it, even tho i think he's still severely underrated for his talent and misunderstood, he's doing great numbers and still has loyal fans. i'm proud of him.
rosenburg is such a joke, kells literally just said he was late cause he had a mental breakdown and this guy gets him in the studio and tries to trivialize everything about him....he looked so pissed off. love mgk, the interviwer needs to be fired asap
I absolutely love MGK!! I am sure his level of pissivity is off the charts but just see how cool and calm he is.. I spend my days listening to his music and watching his visions.. Awesomeness.
Rosenberg is the realest dude on radio, I hate the fact people say he's annoying or what not, he keeps it real with himself and other people. But I came back to this interview just to say this is the day (February 6th, 2012) I became a MGK fan. This made me value him and shed the image I had of a punk rocker turned rapper.
This was amazing! MGK was extremely vulnerable, and neither Rosenberg or, MGK shyed away from anything. Not enough rappers speak about what's on their mind. Most people just go through the motions. Gotta love Rosenberg for always keeping it onehunned. Great interview!
This interview gained me respect for dude and I'm a black dude in his mid-20's born and raised in Detroit, MI... and I don't really mess w/ white rappers not even Em, but I like this guys down-to-Earth personality.
Authenticity is one thing, but validation is another. Nothing Peter said to this guy was legite, even when he was trying to come back and show props he sounded so condescending. I just want to know what is the point. WHAT IS THE POINT? Whats the point of this guy's show, cuz it has nothing to do with MUSIC.
What's unprofessional about these radio stations is that they invite artist to their studio to tell them they don't know who they are! UMMMMMMM YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO KNOW ABOUT THE ARTIST!!!! That's your fuckin job! And that's why MGK is mad.
who the hell is this interviewer.... like.... dude i would rip him apart..... who the hell is he..... what does he do.... dude honestly i hope this guy interviews me when im big.... and im literally just guna talk crap to him the whole time...... ha.... MGK..... i got you.
Kells is everything. ive never been touched by anybodys music like i have his. im a huge yelawolf fan as well but i feel like i can relate to mgk more. his time is gonna come. i just hope Big will be wrong about waiting until somebody dies..he is truly inspirational.
i cant help but to think that they were just judging MGK, but i like how he just kept his cool and explained how he does things. and thats why im such a huge fan of MGK cause he's so real and doesn't just play things out
Peter Rosenberg gave him some great advice. And Rosenberg was one of the main radio dudes in NYC on Hot 97 DURING the golden era of rap. So he’s a legend in NY. He’s got tons of respect and credibility.
the interview is so bogus lol I know mgk can be laid back for the most part but this guy came off as so disrespectful. im surprised mgk sat through the whole thing.
He's the definition of underrated! Damn, I felt so bad that he had to voice all that stuff just to prove himself... Boy is a rappin ass dude! He's gonna be great!
This felt like more of an intervention for MGK than it was an interview but I enjoyed it. He's real and has some growing up to do.. it's a lot to expect from a guy who's just 21. Rosenberg could've known a little more about him too.
what i love about mgk is because he's always putting him self on cause he knows no one else will, he always backs him self up, i love that about him lace up and keep it G.
I've done a project on literally everything you mentioned. The first recorded jazz song was Livery Stable Blues by the Dixieland Jass Band, recorded in 1917. Band member Nick Larocca claimed to have invented jazz and his music is the first known examples of it.The blues came from the British Isles. An early blues song is Greensleeves. Greensleeves dates back to the late 1500s.The first recorded rap song was recorded in 1927 by Swedish artist Evert Taube called Kinesiska Muren. I could go on.....
i just dont understand how these radio stations have these artists on their show and do not do SOLID research..do your damn job its a privilege to meet these people..his fans would kill do have this amount of time to talk to him
Rosenberg was being fair & honest and he gave MGK some good advice I don't see why people are knocking him. If anything, K Foxx was the one sitting there with a snobby look on her face, & after everything MGK said, just told him to man up. If you're going to be angry with anyone it should be her. She seemed to have no respect for MGK, his music, or his passion for it, but Rosenberg was very engaged, admitting that he didn't know much about MGK, but gained respect for him the more they spoke.
I know this is about a year old but, MGK definitely has more HYPE (NOW) than Yelawolf has ever gotten. They announced Yelas co sign with Shady Records & that was it! Not downing either dude bc i respect both. I also think they both have their OWN sound.
I REALLY got into Hip-Hop even later than MGK... 15 in 9th grade. So what if he got into it "late" at age 11 or whatever, that's actually pretty early honestly. I doubt many 11 year olds are really getting their parents to buy them Hip-Hop albums lol
Say what you will about Rosenberg, this was one the best, if not the best interview MGK has ever given. Did we really need another "where'd the name MGK come from?" "Explain Lace Up" "When does the album drop?" interview? No, we've seen that one a hundred times-- *Snore.* Rosenberg pushed buttons that caused a legitimate impassioned dialogue to occur. It allowed non-fans a chance to learn why we are fans. That's as much a part of professionalism as is research. #LaceUp #EST
I can not believe MGK didn't just get up at the end and punch Paul square in the face and walk out. So much more respect for this guy. I've been a die hard fan since I heard this guy. LTFU or STFU for life
Dude. Props to fucking MGK for holding it together through this guys IGNORANT ASS INTERVIEW. This shows a huge level of maturity in MGK. God, Colson, I’m proud as FUCK of you for this. Don’t waste your time on bullshit interviewers like this anymore. You’re intelligent and hella successful. LACE THE FUCK UP
it sucks to see that mgk must constantly defend / explain himself to people who don't even care. Colson is a true role model for anyone who is struggling to be accepted for who they are. I love that, no matter how famous Colson gets, he is always so true. He gives so much to his fans. No one comes close to his radiance and personality. He is a true legend and I sincerely hope he takes care of himself, and not just thinking about us (his fans), because health goes first. Love u.
MGK seems like a genuinely cool dude. I love that he doesn't waste energy trying to act hard like all these other rappers.
I kinda like MGK, he seems like an honest and genuine guy, I don't care if others call him a bitch, at least he is being real !!!
I’m mad just watching this!!! I don’t know how kells could sit and be so calm
This interview annoyed t'f outta me! Omg the guy doesn't know a thing about him or the movement, yet continues to make assumptions and judgements. I don't think I'd keep my cool as well as Kells
Kyla Genke great point he kept his composure u could tell he was annoyed at the ignorance of the host
The whole interview roseburg got almost everything wrong about him when he tried to be clever like he understands him
This dude Rosenberg is a complete moron. Fucking smartass trying to be funny.
When he said "You're both white" when talking about him and Yelawolf, I got so annoyed. That was the dumbest thing ever. If anything he just proved how ignorant he was.
Yeah and Mike Jones used to rap for a living and he wasn't much good.
The point you're making works in my favor. Heard one maybe two Mike Jones song and that was it. Rosenberg's been doing this for a while and is still doing it now. I'm not an idiot...he's definitely no Oprah Winfrey but he's pretty good at what he does.

My favorite MGK interview, EVER.
Mainly because it shows how real he is, and how much people overlook him, and the respect people lack for him.
#LaceUp
MGK Not even white he black with white skin
Omg yess
New Pac. Wrong. He pink with pink skin.
OMG whatever he is such a white boy hahaha. I've met him and chilled with him at spring break and honestly I wasn't feeling him at all
Bro you dumbasses he said he had a dad of course he's not black
Sounds NOTHING like yelawolf
"I know that comes up a lot"
"It really doesn't, it only comes up with you guys"
I literally think rosenberg looks completely unprepared and like this interview is completely insignificant and MGK killed it and you could see it with the way rosenberg changed how he was interviewing him after he listed everything he accomplished and his passion.
The interviewer doesn't know what Lace Up is? Listen to one of his songs and you will hear it, this guy needs to intern somewhere and learn how to interview

MGK is in my top 5 list of rappers.
whats your entire top 5?
MGK, Eminem, Biggie, 2short, krs one. You can throw dr dre and snoop in there
Rexster Blake FOH
Thats a AWFUL list bruh.
Rexster Blake of all time ???
i'm barely looking into MGK, and because of this interview, i have mad respect for him. MGK is basically saying what most rappers of scared of saying.
rosenburg is such a joke, kells literally just said he was late cause he had a mental breakdown and this guy gets him in the studio and tries to trivialize everything about him....he looked so pissed off. love mgk, the interviwer needs to be fired asap
His car broke down
wow i just gained so much respect for MGK on this interview.
INTERVIEWER: "Who gives a f*ck about what people like me think."
KELLY: "Right."
😂😂😂
This girl doesn't say sh*t the whole interview, but at the end she decides to say something to call out Kelly like she knows what he's about.
14 min in ans she aint a doll she a real women and she can talk.
I absolutely love MGK!! I am sure his level of pissivity is off the charts but just see how cool and calm he is.. I spend my days listening to his music and watching his visions.. Awesomeness.
16:33
"His downfall was probably psrt of hi legend too"
2020 album : Tickets to my Downfall
"I have another white guy over here "
((Whispers )) "im half Dominican "
CUTE
Both of them were rude at times. I can’t believe this disrespect given off by the industry. It’s disgusting. Lace Up
Rosenberg is the realest dude on radio, I hate the fact people say he's annoying or what not, he keeps it real with himself and other people. But I came back to this interview just to say this is the day (February 6th, 2012) I became a MGK fan. This made me value him and shed the image I had of a punk rocker turned rapper.
is it just me or some people like disrespect him so bad
Jesus this radio guy is such a tool, MGK is a very humble dude with a great message and work ethic
Man MGKi feel like that these people how where talking to you where such ass holds to you man and I am sorry that you had to go through that MGK
This was amazing! MGK was extremely vulnerable, and neither Rosenberg or, MGK shyed away from anything. Not enough rappers speak about what's on their mind. Most people just go through the motions. Gotta love Rosenberg for always keeping it onehunned. Great interview!
This dude keeps complimenting him and insulting him at the same time smh
This interview gained me respect for dude and I'm a black dude in his mid-20's born and raised in Detroit, MI... and I don't really mess w/ white rappers not even Em, but I like this guys down-to-Earth personality.
Rosenberg did a good interview, and MGK came back 10 fold. MGK gonna be huge and everyone knows it #LTFU
I do miss the innocence of his face and smile when he was 21.
He never said he sounds like DMX, hes just wondering why everyone compares him to white ppl and not someone like DMX.
I Love This Guy Right here I hope he stays real cause i really like this dude and this interview showed how humble he is ...
Authenticity is one thing, but validation is another. Nothing Peter said to this guy was legite, even when he was trying to come back and show props he sounded so condescending. I just want to know what is the point. WHAT IS THE POINT? Whats the point of this guy's show, cuz it has nothing to do with MUSIC.
Damn... almost 10 years ago.
What's unprofessional about these radio stations is that they invite artist to their studio to tell them they don't know who they are! UMMMMMMM YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO KNOW ABOUT THE ARTIST!!!! That's your fuckin job! And that's why MGK is mad.
@dredre900 didnt u teach a journalism course at columbia?
who the hell is this interviewer.... like.... dude i would rip him apart..... who the hell is he..... what does he do.... dude honestly i hope this guy interviews me when im big.... and im literally just guna talk crap to him the whole time...... ha.... MGK..... i got you.
Kells is everything. ive never been touched by anybodys music like i have his. im a huge yelawolf fan as well but i feel like i can relate to mgk more. his time is gonna come. i just hope Big will be wrong about waiting until somebody dies..he is truly inspirational.
MGK and Yelawolf are completely different....only similarity is they are white and have tattoos 😂
friendlyneighbourhood blackwoman exactly!!! This host is hard to watch I can't imagine him being married or even having friends lol what a douchebag
i cant help but to think that they were just judging MGK, but i like how he just kept his cool and explained how he does things. and thats why im such a huge fan of MGK cause he's so real and doesn't just play things out
99 percent of MGK haters can only name "Wild Boy," which is hands down, the shittiest song he's ever written...
Peter Rosenberg gave him some great advice. And Rosenberg was one of the main radio dudes in NYC on Hot 97 DURING the golden era of rap. So he’s a legend in NY. He’s got tons of respect and credibility.
Fan of Yelawolf and Mgk,they sound nothing alike.
''AND NO MORE PITY PARTIES''
''Pity Parties? I didn't, I mean I don't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't...well you're right.''
He's so cute. LOL
the interview is so bogus lol I know mgk can be laid back for the most part but this guy came off as so disrespectful. im surprised mgk sat through the whole thing.
He's the definition of underrated! Damn, I felt so bad that he had to voice all that stuff just to prove himself... Boy is a rappin ass dude! He's gonna be great!
wow this radio host was so kind and supportive
honestly hes not only the most underated in the game i think he's the best in the game
You can't compare Yela to MGK
This felt like more of an intervention for MGK than it was an interview but I enjoyed it. He's real and has some growing up to do.. it's a lot to expect from a guy who's just 21. Rosenberg could've known a little more about him too.
Just came here cuz of Em's diss
what i love about mgk is because he's always putting him self on cause he knows no one else will, he always backs him self up, i love that about him lace up and keep it G.
Hugs to this 8 yrs ago MGK. @ 14.50 💔
@peterrosenberg When was this filmed? LTFU
im not much into his music, but he for damn sure is one of the realist rappers
roll out was the first rap song i ever heard. i was listening to it while playing the old street ball game
I really liked the way this flowed.
you can tell how hungry he is. how much he wants to be the next big thing. That reflects in his music.
interviewer was perfect he kept it real the whole time my respect for peter rosenburg has went up
I owe my start in Hip Hop to MGK, I too, am from Ohio, so I really look up to him.
respect to mgk for not hitting Rosenberg in the face.
LOL I'm sorry when he talked over her dfhjefijahasna hahahahahahahahaha
He's got hands down da best freestyles!
mgk is life.. i have everything of him.. hes the best and btw im 13 and listen to him.. i got all his music.. he rocks
I've done a project on literally everything you mentioned. The first recorded jazz song was Livery Stable Blues by the Dixieland Jass Band, recorded in 1917. Band member Nick Larocca claimed to have invented jazz and his music is the first known examples of it.The blues came from the British Isles. An early blues song is Greensleeves. Greensleeves dates back to the late 1500s.The first recorded rap song was recorded in 1927 by Swedish artist Evert Taube called Kinesiska Muren. I could go on.....
Are those tears in MGKs eyes at 13.30? Dude I am gonna cry cox of this 8 yrs old MGK video.
i just dont understand how these radio stations have these artists on their show and do not do SOLID research..do your damn job its a privilege to meet these people..his fans would kill do have this amount of time to talk to him
most interesting interview i've ever seen... never seen the interviewer criticizing the person before. interesting.
Great video Peter! We love MGK!
He looked so innocent and quiet and just polite back then what happened Kells ??
Rosenberg was being fair & honest and he gave MGK some good advice I don't see why people are knocking him. If anything, K Foxx was the one sitting there with a snobby look on her face, & after everything MGK said, just told him to man up. If you're going to be angry with anyone it should be her. She seemed to have no respect for MGK, his music, or his passion for it, but Rosenberg was very engaged, admitting that he didn't know much about MGK, but gained respect for him the more they spoke.
i went to a show, and it was all ages. and it was in toronto canada ! :D
This is a great interview...respect to mgk and rosenberg because nobodies holding back here..real emotions..real shit..real talk...I like it...
he still young, like he said he will get his
hahaha... that smirk Rosenberg does around 5:25ish was pretty funny.. That smirk explained why people come to me mad, and leave ready to kill me.
anyone know where i can find his shirt??
i haven't thought about listening to MGK 'til now. I'm going to go do that.
I know this is about a year old but, MGK definitely has more HYPE (NOW) than Yelawolf has ever gotten. They announced Yelas co sign with Shady Records & that was it! Not downing either dude bc i respect both. I also think they both have their OWN sound.
MGK is an amazing rapper, he's so inspiring and unique fuck what anybody says!
does anyone know where to find that dmx shirt
GREAT INTERVIEW!
Great interview.
mgk is just taking them hits. wow
I just wanna meet him and tell him thank you for his words...
In a dream.
Rosenberg you're REAL... But he's a baby take it easy dawg!!!
i gotta admit, Peter Rosenberg is straight forward about everything gotta respect. LTFU seein him on Warped in less than a week!
All I gotta say is a famous quote from an ingenious person. "Tell 'em!"
artists dont tend to like comparisons....especially ones that involve people that have nothing to do with them
I REALLY got into Hip-Hop even later than MGK... 15 in 9th grade. So what if he got into it "late" at age 11 or whatever, that's actually pretty early honestly. I doubt many 11 year olds are really getting their parents to buy them Hip-Hop albums lol
Say what you will about Rosenberg, this was one the best, if not the best interview MGK has ever given. Did we really need another "where'd the name MGK come from?"

Still MGK's greatest interview.
I can not believe MGK didn't just get up at the end and punch Paul square in the face and walk out. So much more respect for this guy. I've been a die hard fan since I heard this guy. LTFU or STFU for life
im 17 years old and the first rap song i heard was Mobb Deep, Hold Down the Fort.. SMFH
they dont understand, when you bleed passion into music and people dont recognize how much effort youve put in. that shit sucks
As a diehard MGK fan, this interview infuriates me.
Dude. Props to fucking MGK for holding it together through this guys IGNORANT ASS INTERVIEW. This shows a huge level of maturity in MGK. God, Colson, I’m proud as FUCK of you for this. Don’t waste your time on bullshit interviewers like this anymore. You’re intelligent and hella successful. LACE THE FUCK UP
He be snapping on those verses
One of the realest ppl out
