A lot of people are going nuts over the hype revolving the diss track "Not Alike" that Eminem (Marshall Mathers) released on August 31 and Machine Gun Kelly (Richard Colson Baker) releasing "Rap Devil" on September 3. Although the track puts a handful of rappers on the roast the Machine Gun Kelly diss stood apart from the others.

The beef dates back to 7 May 2012 when Machine Gun Kelly tweeted "Ok so I just saw a picture of Eminem's daughter... and I have to say, she's hot as fuck, in the most respectful way possible cuz Em (referring to Eminem) is king." Although Machine Gun Kelly played it off as a joke it rubbed Eminem as long as many worldwide the wrong way for his daughter was only sixteen years old at the time.

Although Eminem never spoke publicly on the matter until releasing his diss track but Machine Gun Kelly spoke publically about how Eminem took it seriously and was out to get him. While at an interview with Hot 97 a radio podcast station in 2017 Machine Gun Kelly touched upon the subject stating "I'm my favorite rapper alive. Since my favorite rapper banned me from Shade 45". What he means by this is that he has the utmost respect for Eminem but since he said something foolish when he was a kid he now has to deal with the repercussions of not being able to do business with certain places and people due to Eminem. In his case, he believed that Eminem was out to get him over something that happened half a decade ago.

This takes us to August 31st when Eminem released his diss track "Not Alike" on his surprise album Kamikaze. On the album, he goes on to "diss" many A-list artists such as Lil Yachty, Vince Staples, Lil Pump, and many more. What stood out is he dedicated an entire track to diss Machine Gun Kelly called "Not Alike." Eminem raps "If you wanna come at me with a sub, Machine Gun / And I'm talkin' to you, but you already know who the f*ck you are, Kelly / I don't use sublime and sure as f*ck don't sneak-diss / But keep commenting on my daughter Hailie." Eminem clearly addressed the 2012 tweet reminding him not to speak about his daughter.

Check out the full track below:



It only took only four days for Machine Gun Kelly to come back with a diss track of his own called "Rap Devil" where he addresses all the struggles that he has been through while throwing "shots" at Eminem. He starts the song right off by saying "Tough rapper paying millions for security a year" stating that Eminem is not the tough guy that says he is. Kelly then follows up with "I think my dad's gone crazy'/yeah Hailie you right.../ Dad's always mad, cooped up in the studio, yelling at the mic", ignoring Eminem's warning about talking about his daughter while calling him crazy.

He goes on to call Eminem's jumpsuits are corny and how since he lives a luxurious life he should stop all the "thuggery" meaning the tough guy persona. Machine Gun Kelly ends his track by saying that Eminem is the greatest rapper of all time but should put down the mic since his last four albums were "trash". From the two diss tracks Machine Gun Kelly emphasizes that Eminem is a hero of his but that he does not stand for his bullying and will stand up for himself.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
