Why haters keep on hating Mgk, they are a bunch of hypocrites because Eminem dissed and destroyed careers of almost everybody only Mgk's stood up for himself and he still fighting back and he deserves recognition and respect for that . This guy is born to be a legend 🤘🙏

[@dismalscientist9874]

The real stupidity is why almost every rap fan on the Internet feels he or she has to pick one rapper from a rap beef to love, and pick the other one to hate. Everyone's either like, "KILLSHOT sucks, and y'all a bunch of dick-riding, old-head, Eminem stans, listening to the same tired-ass shit for the last 20 years," or, they're like, "RAP DEVIL sucks, and this punk-ass MGK kid shouldn't even be in the same conversation as the greatest rapper alive." Why can't anyone recognize the simple fact that both artists gave a really good showing in this contest? (I do get it, that there does have to be a winner. After all, it's called a "rap battle", not a "rap compromise", but, I don't see why people can't give credit to whomever they think came in second, if they did a good job.)
