Lace up!! Machine Gun Kelly back on Tim Westwood TV with another crazy freestyle on Capital XTRA!! Can you count all the artists Kells mentions that inspired him?
i still rather listen to him than lil uzi, or chief keef, or even post malone. all these new age rappers. to me mgk makes more sense than even french Montana.
I'm not the biggest fan of MGK as a whole, but this freestyle was absolute fire. Called out so many huge artists, mad respect to him for dropping this dime
This shit still bangs 10/02/2022!!! Always got much love for ya, they can hate all they want, it's just because u got mad talent! My guy can rap, freestyle, sing, play instruments and kill it all! 💯
Jimi Hendrix Bob Dylan John Lennon Led Zeppelin (and mentions their song 'Stairway to Heaven') Rolling Stones Billy Joel (could also be Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day) Joey Ramone (lead singer of The Ramones) Red Hot Chili Peppers (mentions lead singer Anthony Kiedis, and bassist Flea) Bob Marley Steve Jobs Marilyn (idk if Manson, Monroe, or both) Muhammad Ali Notorious B.I.G. P. Diddy (aka Puff) Bad Boy (record label owned by P. Diddy) Black Flag (punk rock band/MGK mixtape) Cleveland (his hometown) Jay-Z (aka Hov) Nas Lauryn Hill 2Pac Aaliyah Nikki Sixx (Mötley Crüe bassist) Jim Morrison (lead singer of The Doors) Sex Pistols (mentions bassist Sid Vicious) Johnny Cash Limp Bizkit Gorillaz Will Smith Nicholas Cage Sleeping With Sirens (references their song 'A Trophy Father's Trophy Son') Avenged Sevenfold ( possibly references their album 'Critical Acclaim') Future (not sure if reference towards the rapper or not) Kanye West
I believe that's all the references, but if I'm right about 'critical acclaim' then he could've also referenced other album names that went over my head. I wasn't sure whether I should list 'Cleveland', but I'm sure he was inspired by the city's music scene, and that's why I decided to list it.
@@samfranco4641 That doesn't make him a mumble rapper. Lol. If I do a single project after a long discography of writtens, am i now resigned to the genre of the most recent project?
KodenameYT well no of course not, but Em‘s point is completely valid because of that. Besides MGK also said a couple things in rap devil that weren‘t based on facts like saying Eminem shelfed him which obviously isn‘t true
When he dies everyone will call him a legend. You should have known with general admission. I'm from Cleveland so I knew from the day I heard him at house of blues and peabodys.
Man his mixtape 100 Words and running was on repeat when it came out. I'm from the Netherlands and been to almost every show he did here. He's STILL underrated
Freestyles can definitely be as sick as that, but as polished as that? I don’t know. Even his flow seemed pre-rehearsed. I’m not trying to take away from the skill level he demonstrated I just don’t see how that is supposed to sound like a freestyle. And if it is a freestyle then theoretically his music should be better than that, but it’s not. Perhaps that’s a clue.
+Ryu Chase I'm talking freestyles doughnut, so many US rappers have come on this or Fire In the Booth and flopped hard. I'm not denying US are better rappers, hell all the rappers I listen to are Stateside I'm just talking freestyles in a booth
ofcourse it is not ...... you can very easily hear a freestyle from a written song.. he mos def written this. even eminem doesnt freestyle like this. and if u think he does... its probably written too hahaha
Stephen G when u write an freestyle its no longer a freestyle :P the whole point of freestyle is you do it from your head and dont have anything pre written.
107598 No, a freestyle is a verse with no specific subject matter.. It can be written *or* off the dome.. Most of those radio freestyles by Eminem and Big L were written down beforehand, and they even say it before they start..
Hats off to my dude.... im digging this dude more and more all the time... i got to see one of his shows at the Oakdale in Wallingford ct a few years back..
how has Tim Westwood not cracked 1m subscribers yet?? dude has been around for ages and has interviewed just about every interesting celebrity there is.
Michael Adams it's written. Kells rarely if ever does it off the dome. the part about "I'm a sex pistol, Everything I said vicious, I'm making Johnny Cash haters eat my limp bizkit" is from his I'm hated song
A year after your comment and people still going off 🙄🙄 I'm a 1st gen Em Stan lol, but I LOVE MGK too. This BS with the hard-core Stans is getting old. It's been what? Almost three years post "beef" and people won't let it go 😂😂🤦♀️
No. Most of it was written. He might have freestyled a few lines off the top to fill in the flow but those where throw away written bars. "Learn your hip hop kid" has nothing to do with being able to tell if this was all off the top or not. People like you are easily fooled
I've loved Kells since 100 words and running but HOLY SHIT! "Everything a Sid Vicious" That's some Em level word play man, almost feel proud to see how far he's come from Ashley's basement! I've only ever had one complaint about Kells, I absolutely love On my Way and All Night Long but where was a song with a little monologue in the middle in BLOOM?! I get artists evolve but I loved how you just stopped the bars for a minute and spoke real shit! Either way I love ya Kells! LACE THE FUCK UP!
@@ericcoleman5633 Jesus doesn't like you Jesus loves Machine Gun Kelly actually loves him I know that to be a fact but Jesus doesn't like you has to love you but not like you unfortunately
Hands down,the best freestyle ever,period.the whole anti establishment ,musical influence,and his own relevance to that topic ,and his delivery... don't even know what to say..he fucking killed it,blown away..this guy is super talented..doesn't get the recognition he deserves.
You can't deny this shit is dope man. The passion, the attitude, the voice, and the fucking lyrics on this freestyle is probably one of my favorites I've heard from Machine Gun Kelly.
Holy shit Kelly’s I turned 27 yesterday and have been blooming while counting my blessings. Been fucking with you since chip off the block... didn’t catch back up until alpha omega. Went back to general admission... been hearing you every since.... just now got the dirt reference.... #27 #BLOOM
How does this only got 600,000 views when some of these trash freestyles got millions still don't understand why people sleep on Kells fuck it lace up the real motherfuckers know what's up!!!
Tony Watson everyone seems to skip over mgk, bc he doesn't constantly rap about lean, girls, etc... personally I love the artists that rap and tell a story in it, I personally love kells, and Hopsin, tech n9ne etc...
I like how he referenced artists from multiple genres, and not just rappers.
Hes a true musical artist unlike most trash now days
That's why he's a artist not a rapper
Just rappers??
He is these guys just sayin
Rock stars are cooler then rappers
this the most creative freestyle to date. the name dropping is too slick
"Kanye said jesus walks, I said I'm so high I can't hear jesus talk" 😂 what a dope line, funny too
😂 Wicked
🤣🤣
He says “Now, they say Jesus walks” but still close lol
Also says he’s so high he Can hear Jesus talk
People need to wake up and stop sleeping on this kid!
Lace Up!!
Chase Brown yeah not now... they were for years!
Exactly what I'm saying, alot of people didn't even acknowledge the man until bad things hit the radio and blew up like it did.
Brandon Cart exactlyyyy!
Brandon Cart IKR
Hes coming.. Lace Up XX
underrated better than 90% of rappers today..
true
That's why I fuck with him since the beginning
i still rather listen to him than lil uzi, or chief keef, or even post malone. all these new age rappers. to me mgk makes more sense than even french Montana.
Trey Martin dude is dope, not his fault ur brain can't keep up with the lyrics.

This mf killed this! I never thought MGK could spit like this.. I'm gonna start listening to bro alot more now
Listen to his mixtape lace up
@@victorthomas4881 And his Fuck It mixtape

Watch for the fake !!
listen to 100 words and running
Just admit it, this guy has bars....
Admitted it a long time ago, when he was just a “chip of the block.”
All day!
MGK been had bars people just started blindly hating him because of that stupid ass beef with Eminem
not to me
That's not a freestyle.
I'm not the biggest fan of MGK as a whole, but this freestyle was absolute fire. Called out so many huge artists, mad respect to him for dropping this dime

The first half he was incorporating legends then he hit a point that was him and his life and rapped about his struggles. Incredible artist.
When he dies everyone will call him a legend. You should have known with general admission. I'm from Cleveland so I knew from the day I heard him at house of blues and peabodys.
Facts💯💯💯🚫🧢
I aint gon call nobody a legend , at least that aint gon be me.
Man his mixtape 100 Words and running was on repeat when it came out. I'm from the Netherlands and been to almost every show he did here. He's STILL underrated
he just raps some words that rhyme with a few names and not even on the beat
what a laugh and you find him a legend? LOL
lmao his best selling album sold like 150,000 copies. How is he gonna be considered a legend?
Underrated as hell .
I counted like 36-37 Names/ Artists. Respect out to you MGK for not repeating the same words and calling it music. #LacedUp

Best freestyle from any rapper in a long time
Bro.. this is the best freestyle I’ve ever heard. This is better than 99% of the written rap I hear today. Gonna be bumping this shit when I’m 88
Unreal. People keep denying the kid. Hes the real deal
This is his best freestyle
My goodness! It gets no better than that! For real !
People are probably saying this isn't a freestyle because it was to dope for comprehension. He killed it
you probably dont know what freestyle is
We’re saying it’s probably not a freestyle because it probably is t a freestyle. Period.
Too* dope

You did Cleveland good!!

LACE UP!!!👟

Flow is timeless
This has to be one of the best freestyles I've ever heard. Sick flow!

Well it’s obviously not a true freestyle, some of it is (maybe a 1/4th) . But it does sound good
