How I found Machine Gun Kelly.
I was depressed and feeling hopeless when I stumbled on his music while surfing YouTube; wish I had a better story come to think if it but that's how it happened. His music couldn't have come at a better time I was at a low point having suicidal thoughts feeling like no one understood me or cared. He made me feel like I was not alone. He made me want to be strong. Even Kells crazy ass party antics made me feel happy about life again. Just knowing that someone out there that legit "started from the bottom" made it to the top and STILL remains HUMBLE about it and even took some friends/crew/band with him. And thank God for that because he wouldn't sound the way he does without his crew and signature Cleveland sound. Most labels are complete dicks and make you lose all creative control when getting signed. That's why most if not all the crap on the radio all sounds the same it gets really corporate when you get down to the nitty gritty but unfortunately that's the only way to reach a global audience. In other words "Money talks bitch." Anyway MGK kept it real with his homies.
I 1000% Respect the EST crew for sticking by him to the top together as a team. Team spirit doesn't even exist anymore it's a dog eat dog world and that's putting it lightly.
I love the MGK signature sound: strong drums, strong lyrics, collabs with different genres. I think the relationships that they as a group of friends have established, translates through the music as sincere. We have come a long way as people but the reality is racism still exists. Just the mere fact that no other prevalent Caucasian rappers have received any media or lime light since slim shady/eminem proves that there is still a prejudice that remains. Even the constant comparison is racist if you think bout it. So we still have a long way to go but we have still come a long way. He feels like an underdog because this fucked up industry treats him that way.... but not for long. Even the powers that be cannot stop this movement because it's bigger than them it's bigger than him. That's why I titled OUR fan site WEAREMACHINEGUNKELLY. (FOR MGK): There's a quote by Will Smith it goes: "If you weren't present during my struggle, Don't expect to be there during my success." I relate to Kells in so many ways as I am sure most of you do as well. I respect him as an artist and as a father especially since my father was M.I.A. seeing how great he is with his daughter Casie is more than inspiring to me. Maybe he wasn't ready to be a father but instead of leaving or running he Laced the fuck up. Life constantly throws shit at us all and we all just need to Lace Up to fight every battle in life. I can go on and on. I love his Faith in a creator, many people don't believe in anything anymore which is every individuals own personal choice but as for me I believe in good and evil because I've seen some crazy ass shit and I'm sure you have to. God isn't popular anymore but I still believe in him. And if you don't that's cool too I respect that from the bottom of my heart. Well, there goes part of my intro to my blogs on MGK. Since I first learned of him I honestly feel that my quality if life has improved it sounds so fucking idiotic but when you relate to someone on that deep of a level it's life changing. Just like the fan that was inspired to walk because of MGK. MUSIC FUCKING MOVES PEOPLE. It uplifts us. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hC7NL1jM9Hc Lace Up means a lot of different things to a lot of different people in short to me it means get ready it means stay strong it means keep going it means the MGK movement is still growing. That's all I have to say for now. I will do my best to post updates etc. Feel free to share your MGK inspiring stories as well! I recently purchased my first 2 tickets to a Machine Gun Kelly concert I'm so excited and I can't wait to experience it all. I am trying to musically convert people to MGK because somehow it made my life better. I can write about this all day on that note, lace the fuck up. And remember. WEAREMACHINEGUNKELLY.
This was supposed to be short LOL.
