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.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
