Machine Gun Kelly quotes Eminem lyrics regarding Slipknot’s Corey Taylor beef

Before Machine Gun Kelly and Eminem beef started off, MGK was a big fan of Eminem and it looks like he remains so.

Since changing the genre, Texas-born rapper-turned-to-rocker has been beefing with legendary heavy-metal rock band, Slipknot.

Slipknot member Corey Taylor recently revisited the beef during a Question and Answer session at his performance on the 2022 ShipRocked Festival cruise during January 22 – 27.

“For those of you that don’t know, MGK doesn’t like me very much. And let me follow that up by saying I don’t care,” Taylor told the audience. “This genre really doesn’t get the f**king respect that it deserves. MGK don’t get to walk in as some weird substitute teacher and pretend that you can tell us what to wear—boots, shoes, house-f**king-shoes, slippers. Why don’t you suck every inch of my d**k? You don’t get to do that. And these are bands that maybe I don’t even f**king know, but guess what? I f**king respect them because they get on f**king stage and they f**king give every f**king thing they’ve got.”

In response (supposedly), Machine Gun Kelly quoted Eminem’s lyrics from “The Way I Am” song on Twitter: “I am, whatever you say I am.”

Eminem & Slipknot fans unite after MGK dissed the legendary band live on stage

At Riot Fest in Chicago Sunday night, the 31-year-old Machine Gun Kelly took aim at the Grammy Award-winning heavy metal band Slipknot, who were performing on another stage during MGK’s set.

“Hey, you want to know what I am really happy that I am not doing? Being 50 years old wearing a f**king weird mask on a f**king stage, talking s**t. So, anyway, what is everyone’s favorite candy? Reece’s Pieces?” said the Cleveland-rapper-now-turned-to-punk-rocker.

Later MGK added: “Turn the lights up. Let me see who chose to be here instead of with all the old weird dudes with masks.” 

Back in February, Corey Taylor, the lead vocalist and lyricist of the band, appeared on Cutter’s Rockcast podcast, where the singer shaded musicians who changed genres.

“I hate the artists who failed in one genre and decided to go rock — and I think he knows who he is. But that is another story. I am the worst and I hate everything. People are used to that with me, though. But I have also encouraged a younger generation to think past the boundaries of what we listen to.”

Last year, in an interview with Dave Franco for Interview Magazine, MGK revealed that his last hip-hop album Hotel Diablo ‘was not welcomed because of the infamous Eminem beef.’

In many occasions, Corey Taylor has showed respect and love to Eminem and expressed his desire to do a song with Detroit legend. For that reason, Slim Shady and Slipknot fans unite to force Machine Gun Kelly leave Rock too. Check some of the best reactions below:

Corey Taylor reacts on TikTokers trying to cancel Eminem

Speaking to Matt Pinfield, Corey Taylor talked about the controversy surrounding an offensive Eminem lyric on “Love The Way You Lie” song with Rihanna which was started by young TikTokers.

“I was just reading about how Gen Z is trying to cancel Eminem because of one line that was in a Rihanna song that he did with her. And I am just like, is that where we are right now? I mean, at this point, you are talking about the Salem witch trials. You are talking about, you know, America in the ’20s where the KKK was like a political force. You are talking about complete condemnation without context or any rationalization for an action like that.”

“To me, that is the most dangerous, when the mob decides that you are gone. I mean, that is Caesar at the Colosseum, for God’s sakes. That is when it is dangerous. The level of censorship that we are starting to see and I am not saying that certain things have not been said that easily offend people. However, the flip side of that is that you ca not even make a joke anymore, even in the cleanest of situations.”

“It is starting to really kind of form in my head. I may actually write it soon. Because it is really kind of out of control out there right now. And there is not one hint of satire, There is no hint of Irony. It is just all-out rage and it is all through smartphones. And that is when it is really greedy, That is when it is really dirty. It can not be that way. If we can not have a conversation how the hell are we gonna communicate and if we can not understand the difference between metaphor and complete reality then we are in real trouble. And that is where I am leaning with the book.”

This was not the first time Corey fanned out on Eminem. Few years ago, in an interview RockSverige, the singer revealed that Eminem is his dream collaboration.

“I would love to do something with Eminem. I would love to trade some stuff back and forth with him, because I love the way he writes and the way he flows and the attitude; you know, the emotion that is in it. And I am very, very attracted to that. And I would love to do something where we kind of go back and forth. Will it ever happen? Probably not. But, you know, it is still a dream.” said Corey Taylor.
