KILLSHOT Lyrics Breakdown | Why it's better than Rap Devil

[@UnabashedlyReggie]

Corrections: In the video I say that Illa Da Producer also produced "Rap Devil", but it was actually produced by "Ronny J" who produced "Not Alike" too. So the fact he produced "Not Alike" made me make the mixed up! Thanks to Jay Green for pointing that out ;)

[@FamilyRoyalty]

Hey Reggie, something small you might have missed (or maybe you didn't and just decided not to include) is re: the line "only time you hold stil/steel".. that this line in particular seems to be a reply to when MGK told Eminem to keep his head still ("Seven punches hold your head still ").

[@razorsharpshady]

@@FamilyRoyalty yeah.. reggie forgot this one

[@Stockhandle123]

Unabashedly Reggie mgk’s best line was “you can’t stand yourself, you want to be the old you so bad you stan yourself.”

[@pichejf]

You also missed a meaning on the now infamous Pac line. MGK has Pac-man tattooed on his right collar bone and the Pac-man ghost on his left. Therefore, the day Diddy admits that he put out the hit (song) that got Pac (MGK) killed.

[@jordanwilson9253]

MGK knew why em was dissing him. In not alike em says "But next time you don't gotta use Tech N9ne If you wanna come at me with a sub, Machine Gun" he was popping champagne with the song in the background. He knew the reasons why, he wanted the smoke

[@Iniquityslasher]

Silence is even better than answering, it shows Nick that hes not even worth a disstrack from em

[@sphakamisozondi]

An overlooked punchline: Eminem refers MGK to Stan. 1. Stan was a major fan of shady. 2. Stan became extremely mad at em. 3. Blamed eminem and eventually killed himself. So MGK is mad at em, in the process killed his own career.

[@A1phaz0ne]

How though? Look at MGK 2019 compared to any other MGK. MGK's career is literally skyrocketing right now. He was on life support before that diss battle. Now though? He's thriving. Yeah, he lost that battle, but his career has literally never been better lol.

[@sphakamisozondi]

@@A1phaz0ne skyrocket in terms of what? Sales? Music released? U may be a new MGK fan, ive been a fan of MGK since "WildBoy" nothing has changed except visibility now. Other than that, his sales have dropped despite the eminem boost, hence killed career.

I never counted MGK's last line about Kim at all because 1. Eminem is no longer with her and 2. Eminem has dissed Kim worse than any other rapper ever will. Anything MGK has to say about Kim has already been said by Eminem.

[@coreyaldridge1753]

Hell just about everything in "rap devil", Eminem has already said about himself

[@Bworms1980]

That is one reason I consider Rap Devil a good song to listen to, but not a good diss song overall. Eminem has been out almost 2 decades, he has a bunch of albums, tons of songs, and a lot of shit in the news. MGK had a whole lot to draw from when going after Eminem, yet his diss track boiled down to your old/you dress bad/your a GOAT. Eminem should have had a harder time because MGK doesn't have as much to draw from.

[@coreyaldridge1753]

[@arranlarcome]

There were layers to this song before it was even released: -Eminem did a 7 minute video playing Pac Man. -Eminem releases the track "Killshot" 7 days after Pac got shot, towards someone with Pac Man tattoos. -One of Pac's albums is called: The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. -Killshot is also the name of a movie where the main character "Colson" gets shot down by an experienced gunner; MGK's middle name is Colson. -At the end of the track, Eminem talks about the call that got Pac shot and killed. And for those who think I'm reaching by trying to tie together all these dates and numbers, take this line for example: "Say you got me in a scope, but you grazed me I say one call to Interscope and you're Swayze" "Meaning if he called Interscope he'd dissapear" "Swayze" is synonym for "Ghost" and "gone/disappear" "Ghost" was a 1990 movie with Patrick Swayze, who's character is murdered and is left to roam the earth as a powerless spirit. Killshot was released on the anniversary of Patrick Swayze's Death (September 14th, 2009) MGK refers to himself as the Ghost of the future.Patrick Swayze was in a movie called Ghost, but also died on September 14th (release date of Killshot). And there was also a rapper called Shwayze who was essentially a one-hit wonder (if even that). Em played pacman on instagram for 7mins thinking of a masterplan dissing a kid with pac man tattoo's--releasing it 7 days after pac died. Also I found this: B311 easter egg - Lethal injection go to sleep [6] feet deep. I give you a [B] for the effort but if I was [3] foot [11] you'd look up to me... It may be a coincidence but if you google 6B311, there is a flight from Stockholm to Rhodes (Greece) and 2 dates: previous was: 14th September (killshot release) next is: 21st September (MGK new album) Stockholm -- stalk home.Who was stalking em at his home? Stan 2 = mathew coincidence? Also stockholm is home to Alfred noble.Famous Gun Manufacturer. Also if we push it, the flight company is TUIfly Nordic / Eminem is on his Nordic Track.There are plenty more like the Lox and jadakiss (jade a kiss hailey jade) one(insane wordplay just search it).Lox is a hairstyle which MGK used/uses + lox is a rap group and jadakiss is the name of one of their folks.Jadakiss is actually known as kiss of death as well. "Rihanna just hit me on the text Last night I left hickeys on her neck" (Referring to MGK's diss track where he said Eminem is too afraid to ask for her number) -"Insult me in a line, compliment me on the next" (Mgk kept complimenting Eminem like a fanboy) -"Was watchin' 8 Mile on my NordicTrac" (MGK said the only time Eminem saw 8 mile was at his treadmill, Eminem confirms saying he saw it at his NordicTrack which is the most expensive treadmill) -"Realized I forgot to call you back Here's that autograph for your daughter, I wrote it on a Starter cap" (Stan reference, How MGK is just a bitter fan who never got his idol's attention) -"But how you gonna name yourself after a damn gun And have a man-bun?: (No need to explain that) -"Say you got me in a scope, but you grazed me I say one call to Interscope and you're Swayze" (Swayze here is a synonym of Ghost, Meaning Eminem says how his one call can make MGK disappear from Interscope) -"But I'm 45 and I'm still outselling you" (No need to explain) -"But you're a fuckin' mole hill Now I'ma make a mountain out of you, woo!" (Em by calling MGK a molehill /someone relatively unimportant, Says he will make a mountain out of him /giving him undeserved attention) -"Gunner? Bitch, you ain't a bow and arrow" (MGK named himself after a gun but Eminem thinks he is nothing, not even a bow and arrow) -"Playin' dead,spraying lead that's the only time you hold still" (MGK calls himself a gunner and a gunner holds still while aiming but Eminem says MGK is nothing. He says the only time you hold still is while you play dead) -"Are you eating cereal or oatmeal? What the fuck's in the bowl, milk? Wheaties or Cheerios? 'Cause I'm takin' a shit in 'em, Kelly, I need reading material …Dictionary…" (In MGK's diss he says all Eminem does is stay inside and read a dictionary, MGK is also something out of a bowl in his video, which completely unrelated to the video) -"Luxury, oh, you broke, bitch? Yeah, I had enough money in '02 To burn it in front of you, ho Younger me? No, you're the whack me, it's funny but so true I'd rather be 80-year-old me than 20-year-old you" (Eminem was way ahead of MGK at his age and still is way ahead of MGK) -"Got more fans than you in your own city, lil' kiddy, go play" (No need to explain) -"Shootin' a video just to fuckin' dig your own grave" (MGK is holding a shovel in his diss track video, Eminem says he is digging his own grave by shooting that video) -"Kelly, they'll be putting your name Next to Ja, next to Benzino-die, motherfucker! Like the last motherfucker sayin' Hailie in vain" (Eminem says the only list where MGK's name will be is the list of rappers whose career Eminem has ended) -"My biggest flops are your greatest hits" (No need to explain) -"The game's mine again and ain't nothin' changed but the locks So before I slay this bitch I, mwah, give Jade a kiss" (Eminem shouts out the rapper Jadakiss who is in a rap group named LOX, He also talks about Hailie as her middle name is "Jade") -"Bein' rich-shamed by some prick usin' my name for clickbait In a state of bliss 'cause I said his goddamn name" (MGK clickbaited Eminem's name to get views on his diss track) -"This is it, as big as you're gonna get, so enjoy it Had to give you a career to destroy it" (No need to explain) -"But if I was three foot 11 You'd look up to me, and for the record You would suck a dick to fuckin' be me for a second" (Eminem says even if he was 3 foot 11, MGK would still look up to him, Referring to MGK's diss where he says he is taller than Eminem) -"How the fuck can him and I battle? He'll have to fuck Kim in my flannel I'll give him my sandals 'Cause he knows long as I'm Shady, he's gon' have to live in my shadow" (Em claims that MGK would have to be fucking Kim, before he was a real threat to Em. But in order to fuck Kim, MGK would have to be even more of an Eminem wannabe than he already is, literally wearing his clothing. Em suggests that he’ll help MGK out in this department, even giving him his sandals. This is also possibly a reference to the “Rap Devil” video in which MGK can be seen wearing sandals with socks. Em is also be saying that as long as he’s ‘shading’) MGK, the younger rapper will remain well below him "in his shadow") -"You're fuckin' salty 'Cause Young Gerald's balls-deep inside of Halsey" (Eminem says MGK is salty about how his ex Halsey is getting banged by the rapper G Easy) -"Who else want it, Kells? Attempt fails, Budden, L's Fuckin' nails in these coffins as soft as Cottonelle" (Eminem likens his enemies' insults to an impotent attempt at a burial, where the proverbial closing of his coffin is carried out with Cottonelleproducts-a company known for its toilet paper and flushable wipes.) -"But, Kells, the day you put out a hit's the day Diddy admits That he put the hit out that got Pac killed, ah!" (Em says the day you make a hit will be the day "Diddy" = MGK's boss will admit that he got Tupac killed (which he never will).Remember pacman (pac man) reference on his instagram? Also! goof means child predator in canada.That goof line is intentional by em? This was only a warning from Eminem, The fish earring with the rose in its mouth on Mgk, if you look closely!

They hear the words but don't listen it's like the lights are on but nobody's home. If people actually listened to rap devil they would relise just how kindergarten mgk Disses were. Ever since Mgk released rap devil he has exposed himself to be a liar and a hypocrite so everything he said in rap devil about Eminem paying for security Was stupid cause Every artist whose on that superstar level has security. Then he mensions dre , well he has Diddy .Nothing mgk said made sense cause not only dissing Eminem with those lines he really was dissing himself. I think mgk when ever he opens his mouth He just doesn't relise how dumb he really is he need to think before he speaks cause Everything he says he's just exposing himself to be a hypocrite. And anyone who happens to think rap devil is better than killshot then their just as stupid as mgk .Anyone in their right mind knows Eminem dismantled mgk .you don't have to be a rocket scientist to work that one out .but I guess nowadays people Are only entertained according to their own limit of intellect.

I like that line though I think. 'Knees weak from old age the Real Slim Shady can't stand up'

[@ItsJustNemz]

Emz yeah individually the lines are good, but it's clear he didn't think about other lines when writing the song. Like are his knees week or is he running 8 miles? It can't be both

[@lambchu6459]

MGK's refering to Em's verse "knees weaks, arms are heavy." in the "Lose Yourself" song. Also, he's playing on Em's 2017 album where he flopped, indicating that he's losing confidence in himself like he initially did in the movie "8 mile" (where that song was played). Another reason this verse is actually pretty good (semantics aside) is; Em became a long distance runner in order to beat his addiction problems. He would regularly run up to 17 miles a day. And of course, MGKs line "The Real Slim Shady can't stand up" is referencing Em's verse "Will the real Slim Shady please stand up?" in his 2002 album "The Eminem Show". The sad thing is, "Rap Devil" is a pretty good song, with some bits that are rough around the edges, where as "Killshot" is a polished blade, an absolute murder weapon. (sorry if the vid explained any of this btw. i skipped to Eminem's section because i pretty much understood most of MGK's diss)

[@ItsJustNemz]

Lambs Respite yeah, but, AGAIN: a song should reference itself. Good lines alone, but together don't make sense. Bars should make sense within context of the song it's in, not alone

DOPE breakdown! Adding to your points: 1. *“Rihanna just hit me on the text / Last night I left hickeys on her neck”* → this is in response to MGK claiming Em's too scared to ask for her number. 2. *“Man bun”* → this corny line is in response to MGK's even cornier *“beard is weird.”* 3. *“You'll run up on me like a phone bill”* → not only does this maintain Em's multi-syllabic rhyme scheme, it's also a clever way to say MGK is ALL TALK. This is complemented by Em's follow up line: *“Sprayin' lead? Playin' dead, that's the only time you hold still (steel).”* 4. *“And that Iggy ho, you about to really blow, Kelly”* is also a callback to Em's Iggy diss on “Vegas” - i.e. *“Put that shit away Iggy / You gon' blow that rape whistle on me.”* Em is implying MGK is getting raped. 5. *“Pop Champagne to this! **_POP_** / It's your moment / This is it, as big as you're gonna get, so enjoy it / Had to give you a career to destroy it”* → Most people are so blown away by the last line that they miss a few dope ass details. Em is not only referencing MGK literally poppin' champagne on IG to celebrate Em finally dissing him, he's ALSO calling MGK a pimple he's about to pop. CHECK THE REWIND: *_POP_** / It's your moment / This is it (this a ZIT), as big as you're gonna get.”* 6. *“Your red sweater / your black leather”* → This is also in reference to the New Jersey (Rap) Devil outfit he wore in concert after dropping “Rap Devil.” 7. *“I'm with the Doc still / But this idiot's boss pops pills and tells him he's got skills”* → Em brings up Diddy in response to MGK bringing up Dre. BONUS: *“He put the hit out that got Pac killed”* → Before dismissing this detail, there IS actually good evidence that Diddy DID put out a hit on Pac. For more details watch: • “Murder Rap: Inside the Biggie and Tupac Murders” (Documentary) • “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac and the Notorious B.I.G.” (TV Show)

No 6 I didn't know of. It's really impressive how spontaneously he rap(ed) ;) Like your take on No 3 and I'm marveled how nobody on YT realizes or maybe chooses to talk about the real meaning behind No 4.

[@justmisu]

@@barlatan6501 I think Crypt mentions it in his video on Killshot

[@livefree1030]

WOW!!!

[@redbaronfin8061]

I think that the diddy line could've also meant that Mgk probably Will never put out a hit because diddy probably will never admit that he put out the hit on pac

[@funny9067]

The Rihanna line was also a showcase of Eminem can just hit Rihanna up just like that, on how much more elevated he is than mgk I think

[@MsLdizzle28]

When Em's music first came out I was 12_14, it took a decade to really go into his history and understand... Damn, this guy, his upbringing, .... He's THE lyrical genius of the millennium/era. You can't insult someone who reads a dictionary to extend their vocabulary. I can get that because they say "reading books betters your vocab..." But I don't have the patience to read books, therefore, a dictionary.. looking to rhyme.. hmmmmm is that a word? Okay! Next!!

[@sugasuga4427]

same here !! except i was born in 2002 i vividly remember growing up and my dad playing em and always talking to me about how great he was as i got older lol now that i’m 19 i’ve realized how much of a lyrical genius this man really is and how great of an impact he’s had on the industry and people all around the world. i have so much respect for him and it’s beautiful to see how he brings people together who support him. it’s one thing listening but another to actually understand all his lyrics bar by bar

Mgk should get slapped for saying he got his without Dre. Eminem paved the way for white rap artist to not be taken as a joke, such as vanilla ice, and to be respected in hip hop. There would be no mgk without Eminem.

[@zombiewolf3244]

Ed win ya he brags about what he did without Dre but what did he do Nothing so he really diss himself cause he never had a number 1 hit this is not a battle it's a distruction

BJ Gaming Wild boy is his best hit and that only hit 13 on top 100 and mgk states no facts except he's old you do not know hip hop please stick to lil pump and don't comment on real rap.Fool lmao

[@muhammadperez4636]

Missed bar: the Halsey diss starts when Em says “how the fuck can Him and I battle” i.e. the song Him and I by Halsey & G Eazy. He was setting it up before the Kim bars

[@CraigMcGuinn]

Nice one! I missed that!
