Nov 28, 2020 In a new interview with Dave Franco for Interview Magazine, MGK has revealed that his Hotel Diablo album flopped because of Eminem feud and he almost gave up. Interviewer: Were there moments when you almost gave up because you were killing yourself for your music and it still felt like you were misunderstood? Machine Gun Kelly: Yes. The 2019 album, Hotel Diablo is that for me, because that was the first time I really expressed my true self with no outside influence, meaning the label. As a hip-hop album, it is flawless front to back, and also a hint at the evolution of how I went into a pop-punk album. Machine Gun Kelly: But it was coming off the tail-end of that infamous beef with Eminem. So no one wanted to give it the time of day. It is like if you make a s-----y movie and then you come out with a great movie right after, but people want to focus on the fact that they hated whatever you just did. What I did in the beef was exactly what it should be, but that project was not welcomed. The next album came from already feeling like I’d counted out, so I didn’t even care what the public was going to think. That’s why the project was ironically my best received one, because it was the most effortless, with the least outside influence. “What I did in the beef was exactly what it should be, but that project was not welcomed.” – MGK (November 28, 2020) Hotel Diablo album was released in 2019 as the follow up for his Binge EP and it debuted at number five on the Billboard 200, with approximately 39,000 album equivalent units sold. It jumped down to number 20 in its second week, selling 20,585 album equivalent units. The album received generally mixed reviews from critics.
Nov 28, 2020 LOL. The fact that he says it was because of Em is the proof of him losing the beef. He tried make up an excuse for a bs album being a flop and he basically acknowledged the fact that he lost the beef. I don't think album was a flop because of any beef. It had thousands of more streams and s--- like that just because of that beef, if was meant to flop from the beginning. Plus, if it's flawless then I'd say every album ever come out is flawless anyway lol.
Nov 28, 2020 Remember when he took a pic of an audience showing their middle fingers and later claimed on ig that they did it because of Em? Now he's crying about people turning against him during the beef lol
Nov 28, 2020 Any success he is having over and above what he used to do is because of the exposure from that beef. This guy is delusional.
Nov 28, 2020 Hotel Diablo is not that bad. I know stans hate MGK but he is kinda dope. Not a fan of his new emo-s--- though.
Nov 28, 2020 em did him dirty thats for sure otherwise you wouldnt dress like this afterwards edit: he still won, cause he bangs Megan Fox
Nov 28, 2020 My guy really said it was a flawless album That s--- was trash. His punk album is rly good tho
Nov 28, 2020 He actually is a perfect fit for that extra guy whp gets killed in a procedural cop show. The guy sitting next to the main guy who is supposed to be killed
