Machine Gun Kelly returns to rap with a ferocious new freestyle and appears to disprove Jack Harlow’s claim that he’s the best white rapper after Eminem
Machine Gun Kelly made a ferocious return to rap on Saturday when he posted a brand new freestyle YouTube and seemingly dissed Jack Harlow.
The Bloody Valentine hitmaker, 33 – who recently flew solo at the Bupkis premiere without his fiancé Megan Fox – appeared to be responding directly to Harlow’s bold claim that he is the greatest white rapper after Eminem.
Kelly proved his talent by rapping over the instrumental of Jay-Z’s 2001 hit Renegade, which happens to feature Eminem.
MGK recorded in his “homie’s” backyard, weaving innuendo through all of his lyrics: “Make sure there’s no confusion / I’m a great white guy, I can eat their barracudas.”
His freestyle quickly gained momentum, getting bolder with each bar and blasting Harlow’s new album Jackman: “I see why they call you Jackman / You jack man’s whole swag / Give Drake his flow back man.”

MGK’s fiery freestyle comes after his rival lit the fuse with his newly released album Jackman.
In the song titled They Don’t Love It, Harlow calls himself “the toughest white boy since the one who rapped about puke and sweaters” – referring to Eminem’s famous line in Lose Yourself.
The 25-year-old rapper then drops bars on how he outshines his competition without naming names.
In subsequent lines, Harlow listed all the reasons why he believes he deserves the silver medal for best white rapper behind Eminem – the self-proclaimed Rap God.
“And hold the comments because I promise you I’m honestly better than whoever came to mind at the time,” Harlow rapped as he lyrically challenged his opponents.
“They’re not cut from the same thread as he was,” he continued. “They don’t study, they don’t work to get ahead like he did.
“They don’t toss and turn in the f***in’ bed like him because they don’t like it,” the text read.
Last month, Harlow released his self-titled third studio album, Jackman, and he’s currently gearing up to make it his feature film debut next month in the Hulu remake of White Men Can’t Jump.

Jack entering the acting game means he’ll be competing with MGK on yet another front, as Kelly has repeatedly tried to establish herself as a serious movie actor and Hollywood star.
This attempt has largely failed so far, with MGK appearing in a string of box office bombs, including the terrible Midnight in the Switchgrass and the disastrous Good Mourning.
He has been much more successful in the music field, rocketing to the top of the charts with his pop punk albums Tickets to My Downfall (2020) and Mainstream Sellout (2022).
Perhaps this latest freestyle is a sign that MGK plans to return to his rapper roots to claim the crown of “greatest white rapper” after Eminem – who he’s also feuded with in the past.
