Machine Gun Kelly Interview Part 1

In part one of HipHopDX's interview with Machine Gun Kelly, the Cleveland-bred rapper explains his song "Lead You On" and why the song "Wild Boy" is just one piece to a much bigger puzzle. Video shot by Brooklyn Martino and Omar Burgess, with editing by Brooklyn Martino.

[@Jamie-et4zq]

best interview ever.

[@Los-2212]

He changed so much, wish he was still like this. & I never thought I’d say that about him

[@BethanyRae7]

I wish he would make a show, not just have the KellyVision, but also have somewhere where he can just talk to us, as a family. He says he loves stretching his mind, and I love it when he streches his mind, honestly I wish these interviews were never ending because he talks nothing but the truth and I love it.

[@GRiiiM_TH3_R3B3L]

[@richwelsh44]

While he smokes a j I love it

[@CodySmith-rw7gr]

Rich Welsh fr it’s not weed he’s talking bout it’s just the hard stuff

[@ericfergison1172]

He’s talking about the song lead you on about his year of heroine addiction. Destroy his life. Hot flashes at 7am scratching against you skin. I feel that shit right now. Day 4 sober

[@stimandsim]

I hope you’re 2 years sober now ❤

[@PinataAnvil]

i love him, but he's talking about heroin withdrawals & i'm sure he's been to rehab, in other for him to live in a happy sober life, he needs to stop smoking pot as well. this is so hypocritical. i'm battling addiction & i don't want to give up weed or alcohol either, but i know that in order for me to free myself from the demons he even mentions, i need to drop all mood altering chemicals. he still has growing up to do, but i love & feel you mgk

[@brianuncalbert6187]

don't be a moron. Weed isn't harmful, Don't come up on here acting like someone who quits heroin and picks up a joint is somehow "not freeing themselves from their ""inner demons"" and don't even try to act like they aren't strong for getting off of opiates. Fucking worthless shit pile of a human being lol , quit preaching down our throats already fuck boy.

[@brianuncalbert6187]

I don't even like MGK but at least he smokes weed, unlike you who are so boring and uncool I have to go relapse and get high just so I don't kill myself from boredom

[@paytonward2169]

@@brianuncalbert6187 that's really sad I'm not trying to be mean but it sounds like you need help there not being boring there overcoming demons seek something that makes u feel better weather its therapy family friends or a goal to work towards something that inspires u maybe that's what mgk did for me he motivates me to live figure somthing out I hope find something that helps

[@NewOrleanzbiatch]

I don't care if MGK goes back to his birth name and is no longer in the public eye, if he can just rap the pain and sorrow we feel ILL ALWAYS SUPPORT HIM bitch I've been laced up, it wont stop. Even if he's 80 bitch rage with me in your wheelchair. I'm down lol.

[@jimmychufung7013]

He has a plant in his hand that "god" gave to me and you to smoke now stfu

[@ChazMcClure]

the plant wasnt put on the earth to be rolled in paper and lit on fire to inhale lol

[@looknatutoo]

I really think It is FUCKED UP THAT and ad for JAYZ #MAGNACARTA is monetized over an MGK interview link. We will get it, Jay. Now let my man speak...he said this was his fave. I see why, true to the heart. It is nice to know when people really love you back. Mad love man to you. With mad respect for #Individuality #BLACKFLAG

[@aragoth95]

Too high... -.-

[@seniorblocko13]

Okay how has nobody addressed the hot pocket lmao. I fucking love hot pockets.

[@jeromylyon2501]

damn right kells i love that he sees that us fans...TRUE fans are not just fans we are family and truly care about kells and the lace up movement he doesnt understand how much this movement means to us, well i know how much it means to ME and thats all that fuckin matters!

[@rlw3333]

he doesn't consider weed or mushrooms a drug because they come from the earth I agree with what you said but that's what he thinks

[@JaseythePlague]

Weed is not a drug, it is an herb. A plant. Morning Glory seeds make you trip if you eat enough, but their not considered drugs.

[@AJs_Username]

says the person that has a mac miller album cover for his pic

[@DreadfulControversy]

I could've sworn he used drugs.

[@rnintn6442]

DreadfulControversy he's in recovery. Smokes weed

[@mianicole9721]

All of y’all are saying he needs to stop smoking pot but pot isn’t dangerous.

[@OnBehalfMedia]

i like mgk but if you watch his interviews he contradicts himself like 90% of the time...

[@willtottress5126]

look up the definition of drugs then think about what weed does and come back to me

[@willtottress5126]

um... it is but this whole interview got me hyped EVEN FUCKING MORE for Black Flag

[@adamlevine9090]

[@Tigerheiress]

[@GeorgiaSwagg18]

"Ive already been torn down so much in this life! Let my tepee stand in this world of high rise buildings"

[@slapyou26]

why the hell did you slow mo the weed part?

[@HotsDonutz]

Alcohol is a drug, even sugar is a drug so is coffee, fact is more or less every single person is using a drug daily. Life without sugar would be pretty boring :D

[@sarahauten8206]

He is wearing a led zeppelin shirt, that is AWESOME! :) :)

[@alexdabek]

"Now i have a do not enter sign on Machine Gun Kelly" favourite part

[@BrennenSIO]

Also he said he still has addiction problems, however, he still does not condone drug use

[@rnintn6442]

Brennen SIO in recovery. Addiction a disease he will always have. Unfortunately

[@a7x4lrev]

deathbat on his wrist. lol

[@MadFlavaHeavyFlow81]

MGK is best rapper in the game right now imo

[@MadFlavaHeavyFlow81]

Lol what's wrong with that?

[@BecomeLaced]

He is referring to hard drugs that have dire effects on you and can really mess you up (pills and such). Not weaker drugs like weed which is kinda harmless.

[@rnintn6442]

BecomeLaced thank you someone that realizes. Lace up
