01
You sound like a bitch, bitch
Multi-line diss block
02
Shut the fuck up
03
When your fans become your haters
04
You done?
05
Fuckin' beard's weird
06
Alright
07
You yellin' at the mic, fuckin' weird beard (You want smoke)
08
We doin' this once
09
You yellin' at the mic, your beard's weird
10
Why you yell at the mic? (Illa)
Block noteMocks MGK's delivery and appearance
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningThe opening samples and answers MGK's presentation: each line dismisses his voice, beard, and performative aggression, while 'fans become your haters' frames the reply as MGK losing his own audience.
WordplayRepeated 'bitch' and 'weird beard' turn MGK's appearance into a taunting refrain; the clipped questions mimic and belittle his delivery.
ContextKillshot answers MGK's 2018 Eminem diss 'Rap Devil.' The sampled phrases are treated as part of Eminem's rebuttal, not independent narration.
11
Rihanna just hit me on a text
Multi-line diss block
12
Last night I left hickeys on her neck
13
Wait, you just dissed me? I'm perplexed
14
Insult me in a line, compliment me on the next
15
Damn, I'm really sorry you want me to have a heart attack
16
Was watchin' 8 Mile on my NordicTrack
17
Realized I forgot to call you back
18
Here's that autograph for your daughter, I wrote it on a Starter cap
Block noteFlips MGK's disses into fan behavior
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningEminem moves from a provocative Rihanna boast to feigned confusion that MGK insulted and praised him in adjacent lines. He sarcastically answers MGK's heart-attack wish, invokes 8 Mile and a delayed callback, then offers MGK's daughter an autograph to cast MGK and his family as fans.
WordplayThe NordicTrack/call-back/autograph sequence uses internal rhyme and a 'Stan' dynamic: the rival becomes an overinvested admirer rather than an equal opponent.
ContextMGK's 'Rap Devil' mixed criticism with acknowledgments of Eminem's stature and mentioned watching his films; this passage reframes those acknowledgments as fandom.
19
Stan, Stan, son, listen, man, Dad isn't mad
Multi-line diss block
20
But how you gonna name yourself after a damn gun and have a man-bun?
21
The giant's woke, eyes open, undeniable
22
Supplyin' smoke, got the fire stoked
23
Say you got me in a scope, but you grazed me
24
I say one call to Interscope and you're Swayze
Block noteRidicules MGK's name and industry vulnerability
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningCalling MGK 'Stan' extends the obsessive-fan comparison. Eminem contrasts a weapon-based stage name with a man-bun, announces that a much larger rival has awakened, says MGK's claimed scope only grazed him, and boasts that label influence could make MGK disappear.
WordplayGun/scope/smoke/fire imagery flips 'Machine Gun Kelly' against him. 'Swayze' alludes to the actor's role in Ghost, meaning gone or ghosted.
ContextMGK's name, hairstyle, and major-label position are used as evidence that his threatening persona is weaker than advertised.
25
Your reply got the crowd yelling, "Woo"
Multi-line diss block
26
So before you die, let's see who can out-petty who
27
Wit' your corny lines ("Slim, you're old"), ow, Kelly, ooh
28
But I'm 45 and I'm still outselling you
29
By 29, I had three albums that had blew
Block noteAnswers age jokes with sales comparisons
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningEminem acknowledges MGK's crowd response and proposes an intentionally petty contest. He mocks the 'old' criticism, notes that he still outsells MGK at forty-five, and compares his own three major successes by age twenty-nine with MGK's career at the same age.
WordplayThe exaggerated hurt in 'ow, Kelly, ooh' makes the age insult sound harmless; 'out-petty' openly labels the battle's tone.
ContextMGK made Eminem's age a central 'Rap Devil' argument. Eminem answers with commercial performance rather than denying the age gap.
30
Now let's talk about somethin' I don't really do
Multi-line diss block
31
Go in someone's daughter's mouth stealin' food
32
But you're a fuckin' mole hill, now I'ma make a mountain out of you (Woo)
33
Ho, chill, actin' like you put the chrome barrel to my bone marrow
34
Gunner? Bitch, you ain't a bow and arrow
35
Say you'll run up on me like a phone bill, sprayin' lead (Brrt)
36
Playin' dead, that's the only time you hold still (Hold up)
Block noteCondemns the Hailie reference and dismantles gun threats
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningEminem says he normally avoids taking food from another artist's child but will enlarge MGK's minor stature into a public defeat. He mocks MGK's gun talk, denies that the 'Gunner' is even a simple weapon, and turns a threat to run up and spray bullets into phone-bill and corpse jokes.
WordplayMolehill/mountain expresses making a major event from a minor rival. Chrome/barrel/bone marrow, Gunner/bow, run up/phone bill, spray lead, and hold still form an extended weapon pun chain.
ContextThe daughter line answers MGK's prior public comment about Hailie and frames the response as reluctant but justified retaliation.
37
Are you eating cereal or oatmeal?
Multi-line diss block
38
What the fuck's in the bowl, milk? Wheaties or Cheerios?
39
'Cause I'm takin' a shit in 'em, Kelly, I need reading material, dictionary
40
"Yo, Slim, your last four albums sucked
41
Go back to Recovery," oh shoot, that was three albums ago
42
What do you know? Oops
43
Know your facts before you come at me, lil' goof
Block noteMocks MGK's breakfast video and factual mistake
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningEminem jokes about the cereal bowl visible in 'Rap Devil,' threatens to soil it while asking for a dictionary, then quotes MGK's album criticism and points out that Recovery was not one of his previous three albums. The sequence says MGK researched his target poorly.
WordplayCereal becomes 'reading material' in a toilet joke, while the quoted album count is defeated by simple chronology.
ContextThe breakfast imagery comes from MGK's 'Rap Devil' video; the album correction directly checks one of that track's claims.
44
Luxury, oh, you broke, bitch? Yeah, I had enough money in '02
Multi-line diss block
45
To burn it in front of you, ho
46
Younger me? No, you the wack me, it's funny but so true
47
I'd rather be eighty-year-old me than twenty-year-old you
48
'Til I'm hitting old age
49
Still can fill a whole page with a ten-year-old's rage
50
Got more fans than you in your own city, lil' kiddie, go play
51
Feel like I'm babysitting Lil Tay
Block noteContrasts wealth, longevity, and hometown support
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningEminem says he was already wealthy in 2002, rejects MGK as a younger version of himself, and argues that even an elderly Eminem would outrank MGK. He adds that he still writes with youthful anger, claims more fans in MGK's city, and reduces the adult rival to a child needing supervision.
WordplayThe eighty-versus-twenty comparison reverses the age attack. 'Whole page/old age/rage' ties longevity to continued writing ability; Lil Tay supplies the child-celebrity comparison.
ContextThis continues the answer to MGK's age and relevance arguments while asserting Eminem's larger catalog and audience.
52
Got the Diddy okay, so you spent your whole day
Multi-line diss block
53
Shootin' a video just to fuckin' dig your own grave
54
Got you at your own wake, I'm the billy goat
55
You ain't never made a list next to no Biggie, no Jay
56
Next to Taylor Swift and that Iggy ho, you about to really blow
57
Kelly, they'll be putting your name
58
Next to Ja, next to Benzino, die, motherfucker
59
Like the last motherfucker sayin' Hailie in vain
Block notePortrays Rap Devil as a career-ending publicity stunt
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningEminem says Diddy's approval led MGK to spend a day filming his own figurative funeral. He denies MGK a place beside canonical rappers, sarcastically predicts a pop-adjacent breakthrough, and places him with Ja Rule and Benzino as earlier rivals damaged after invoking Hailie.
WordplayVideo/grave/wake creates a funeral sequence; 'billy goat' invokes GOAT status. 'Really blow' works as success and destruction, while the name list is a career-death warning.
ContextDiddy led MGK's label, and Ja Rule and Benzino are invoked as feud precedents rather than new principal targets in this record.
60
Alien brain, you Satanist (Yeah)
Multi-line diss block
61
My biggest flops are your greatest hits
62
The game's mine again and ain't nothin' changed but the locks
63
So before I slay this bitch I, mwah, give Jade a kiss
Block noteClaims even Eminem's failures exceed MGK's successes
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningEminem calls MGK alien or satanic, says MGK's best-performing songs are smaller than Eminem's flops, and declares renewed control of rap. The kiss to Jade answers the family dimension of the feud immediately before the promised lyrical killing.
WordplayFlops/greatest hits is a status inversion. 'Locks' suggests both changed door security and unchanged possession of the game; slay/kiss juxtaposes battle violence with affection for his daughter.
ContextJade refers to Hailie Jade, whose mention by MGK was a central grievance.
64
Gotta wake up Labor Day to this (The fuck?)
Multi-line diss block
65
Bein' rich-shamed by some prick usin' my name for clickbait
66
In a state of bliss 'cause I said his goddamn name
67
Now I gotta cock back, aim
68
Yeah, bitch, pop Champagne to this (Pop)
69
It's your moment
70
This is it, as big as you're gonna get, so enjoy it
71
Had to give you a career to destroy it
Block noteFrames MGK's attention as temporary and borrowed
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningEminem complains about waking to an attack on Labor Day, rejects criticism of his wealth, and says MGK used Eminem's name as clickbait. He tells MGK to celebrate because the reply is the peak of his exposure, then claims the same attention that created the moment will end MGK's career.
WordplayCock back/aim sustains weapon imagery. 'Pop Champagne' combines celebration with gunfire, and give/destroy career compresses the attention economy into a setup and reversal.
ContextRap Devil arrived during the 2018 holiday period and benefited from the visibility of a direct Eminem feud.
72
Lethal injection, go to sleep six feet deep
Multi-line diss block
73
I'll give you a B for the effort
74
But if I was three-foot-eleven, you'd look up to me
75
And for the record, you would suck a dick to fuckin' be me for a second
76
Lick a ballsack to get on my channel
77
Give your life to be as solidified
Block noteUses height jokes to assert an unbridgeable status gap
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningEminem gives MGK a low grade for effort, says even at three-foot-eleven MGK would still look up to him figuratively, and claims MGK would accept humiliation or sacrifice his life for even a moment of Eminem's channel, career security, and established status.
WordplayPhysical height becomes professional hierarchy through 'look up.' The B grade faintly praises effort while denying peer status.
ContextMGK had mocked Eminem's height; this passage flips that detail into a career-ranking metaphor.
78
This motherfuckin' shit is like Rambo when he's out of bullets
Multi-line diss block
79
So what good is a fuckin' machine gun when it's outta ammo?
Block noteDisarms the Machine Gun Kelly persona
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningEminem compares the exchange to Rambo after ammunition is exhausted, then asks what value a 'machine gun' has without ammunition. The direct nameplay says MGK's threatening identity is empty once his usable material is spent.
WordplayRambo, bullets, machine gun, and ammo form a compact extended metaphor built from MGK's stage name.
ContextThe weapon imagery is figurative battle language tied to the rival's professional name.
80
Had enough of this tatted-up mumble rapper
Multi-line diss block
81
How the fuck can him and I battle?
82
He'll have to fuck Kim in my flannel
83
I'll give him my sandals
84
'Cause he knows, long as I'm Shady, he's gon' have to live in my shadow
Block noteAttacks MGK's style and dependence on Eminem
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningEminem dismisses MGK as tattooed and mumbling, says a real battle is impossible at their skill gap, sarcastically invents extreme conditions involving Kim and Eminem's clothes, and concludes that MGK will remain professionally overshadowed while Eminem remains Slim Shady.
WordplayFlannel/sandals turns 'walk in my shoes' into clothing comedy. Shady/shadow uses Eminem's persona name as the image of permanent subordination.
ContextKim is referenced as part of an impossible hypothetical, not identified as a target of the record.
85
Exhausting, letting off on my offspring
Multi-line diss block
86
Lick a gun barrel, bitch, get off me
87
You dance around it like a sombrero, we can all see
88
You're fuckin' salty 'cause Young Gerald's balls-deep inside of Halsey
Block noteMocks MGK's family provocation and romantic jealousy
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningEminem says responding to someone who mentioned his child is exhausting, orders MGK away, and says MGK circles the real issue. He then attributes MGK's bitterness to Halsey's relationship with G-Eazy, using G-Eazy's given name to make the jab personal.
WordplayOffspring/off me compresses the family grievance into soundplay; dance/sombrero pictures evasiveness, and salty describes both anger and wounded jealousy.
ContextThe relationship reference is used to attack MGK; Halsey and G-Eazy are contextual figures, not principal diss targets here.
89
Your red sweater, your black leather
Multi-line diss block
90
You dress better, I rap better
91
That a death threat or a love letter?
92
Little white toothpick
93
Thinks it's over a pic, I just don't like you, prick
94
Thanks for dissing me
95
Now I had an excuse on the mic to write "Not Alike"
96
But really, I don't care who's in the right
Block noteReduces MGK's image and admits personal dislike
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningEminem grants that MGK may dress better but asserts superior rapping, questions whether 'Rap Devil' reads as a threat or admiration, mocks MGK's thin appearance, and rejects the claim that the feud is only about a photograph. He thanks MGK for creating a reason to write 'Not Alike' and says he is less concerned with moral right than the contest.
WordplayDress better/rap better is blunt parallelism. Death threat/love letter extends the Stan-fan reading, and toothpick turns body shape into a visual insult.
ContextThe photograph refers to the earlier dispute often cited as the feud's origin; 'Not Alike' preceded 'Rap Devil.'
97
But you're losin' the fight you picked
Multi-line diss block
Block noteDeclares MGK responsible for a losing battle
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningAfter saying the objective merits are secondary, Eminem states that MGK selected the confrontation and is nevertheless losing it. The short block makes agency and competitive outcome the full point.
WordplayThe compact right/fight/picked phrasing functions as a verdict after the longer rebuttal.
ContextThis is the transition from answering individual claims to announcing the battle's result.
98
Who else want it? Kells, attempt fails, Budden, L's
Multi-line diss block
99
Fuckin' nails in these coffins as soft as Cottonelle
100
Killshot, I will not fail, I'm with the Doc still
101
But this idiot's boss pops pills and tells him he's got skills
102
But, Kells, the day you put out a hit's the day Diddy admits
103
That he put the hit out that got Pac killed, ah
Block noteLinks MGK's prospects to failed rivals and taunts his label boss
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningEminem says MGK's attempt failed, throws a brief loss at Joe Budden, and casts his bars as coffin nails. He invokes Dr. Dre to assert enduring backing, says MGK's boss falsely validates him, and claims an MGK hit record is as unlikely as Diddy admitting responsibility for Tupac's killing.
WordplayKells/fails/L's/nails/coffins/Cottonelle forms a dense rhyme chain; 'hit' means both a successful record and an ordered killing.
ContextJoe Budden and Sean Combs are secondary targets in this passage. The Diddy statement is a taunt framed as an impossible hypothetical, not established fact; the outro immediately calls it joking.
104
I'm sick of you bein' wack
Multi-line diss block
105
And still usin' that mothafuckin' Auto-Tune
106
So let's talk about it (Let's talk about it)
107
I'm sick of your mumble rap mouth
108
Need to get the cock up out it
109
Before we can even talk about it (Talk about it)
110
I'm sick of your blonde hair and earrings
111
Just 'cause you look in the mirror and think
112
That you're Marshall Mathers (Marshall Mathers)
113
Don't mean you are, and you're not about it
114
So just leave my dick in your mouth and keep my daughter out it
Block noteCloses by rejecting MGK's style, imitation, and Hailie reference
TargetMachine Gun Kelly
MeaningEminem attacks MGK's Auto-Tune, diction, hair, and earrings, then says resemblance or imitation does not make him Marshall Mathers. The final command alleges obsessive attention while drawing the boundary that MGK must stop mentioning Hailie.
WordplayThe repeated 'talk about it' becomes a challenge to remove affectation before a real discussion. Mirror/Marshall Mathers frames imitation as mistaken identity; mouth/daughter gives the close its blunt contrast.
ContextKeeping Hailie out of the feud is the explicit closing demand and connects the record to Eminem's earlier family-centered feuds.
115
You fuckin'—, oh
116
And I'm just playin', Diddy
117
You know I love you
