Travis Barker: The Man Who's Bringing Pop-punk Into The 2020s

There was a time we thought that pop-punk was a relic of the 2000s never to be heard again - at least, not in anything that wasn't a "guilty pleasure" capacity. But it seems that, somehow, it's back in vogue and if there's one person we need to thank for it it's Travis Barker.

The Blink-182 drummer has teamed up with numerous hip hop and mainstream pop acts over the last decade, but rather than his sound taking a more commercial turn, in the last couple of years it's been his collaborators that have adopted the music style that Blink-182 helped shape.

Upcoming Releases: Five Albums We're Looking Forward To In September 2020


Marilyn Manson Lana Del Rey Idles Machine Gun Kelly Everything Everything

As some degree of normality returns to a crazy year and artists stop delaying their overdue album releases (COVID-19 isn't going anywhere any time soon after all), it looks like 2020 may not be a write-off for music in the end. Quarantine has obviously been good for some artists' creativity, because there's some seriously interesting looking releases coming this month alone.

July Favourites: Sum 41 And Purple Mountains Are The Saving Grace Of A Poor Month For Music


Sum 41 Machine Gun Kelly Mini Mansions Chance the Rapper

Whenever we say "it's been a great month for music" we truly mean it. We mean it as much as we mean it when we say that THIS month has been pretty poor. Reviews across the board for July albums have been average at best, with Ed Sheeran, Iggy Azalea and Beyonce being unexpected disappointments - though we did manage to uncover a few gems among the rubble... 

Sum 41 - Order in Decline

Most of us haven't listened to Sum 41 since our noughties skater days, but you might be surprised to find that their latest release is far from the cheesy nostalgia that you'd expect. Instead, it's the heaviest album they've ever made and it's this kind of thematically dark and crashing metal that's going to bring them a new kind of respect.

Personal Vs Publicity: The Truth Behind Eminem And Machine Gun Kelly Beef?


Eminem Machine Gun Kelly

The beef between Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly which was reignited following the release of the former's latest album 'Kamikaze' has become the subject of scrutiny recently as a number of people have speculated that there may be some staging to their apparent disharmony.

There's been a kind of back-and-forth between the two rappers since Eminem's song 'Not Alike', where he criticised Machine Gun Kelly for comments he made about his daughter back in 2012. MGK then went on to release a takedown of his former idol in the form of 'Rap Devil', to which Eminem responded with 'Killshot'.

Machine Gun Kelly NOT Booed Off Stage For 'Rap Devil'?


Machine Gun Kelly

As the feud between Machine Gun Kelly and Eminem ploughs on, it seems the majority of the rap community fall on the side of the veteran rather than the rising star. Or are they? Video footage emerged after the former performed his diss track 'Rap Devil' while on tour with Fall Out Boy and was apparently booed by the audience.

Machine Gun Kelly opened for the band at Orlando's Amway Center Monday night (September 17th 2018) where he played 'Rap Devil', but watching back one fan video from the event there was a lot of very audible booing going on throughout.

Eminem Explains Why He Dissed Machine Gun Kelly


Eminem Machine Gun Kelly

Eminem has revealed his motivation for opening up a rap beef with Machine Gun Kelly by dissing him on his new album Kamikaze.

The 45 year old hip-hop megastar has been interviewed by Sway this week, and he went into some detail about why the lyric war came about. When Eminem dropped his surprise 10th album Kamikaze back on August 31st, he addressed Machine Gun Kelly’s comments about his daughter on his track ‘Not Alike’, spitting back at him: “And I’m talking to you but you already know who the fuck you are, Kelly / I don’t use sublims and sure as fuck don’t sneak-diss / But keep commenting on my daughter Hailie.”

That then led to MGK’s reply track ‘Rap Devil’ – poking fun at Em’s 2013 single ‘Rap God’. However, their beef actually extends back to 2012, when MGK tweeted about Eminem’s then-16 year old daughter, calling her “hot as f***”.

Machine Gun Kelly Lashes Out At Eminem With 'Rap Devil'


Machine Gun Kelly Eminem

Machine Gun Kelly has bravely taken on his rap rival Eminem after the latter dissed him in his song 'Not Alike', taken from his recently dropped surprise album 'Kamikaze'. The pair have always had a beef between them, but it's never been quite as entertaining as it is right now.

The 28-year-old proves his lyrical inferiority with the title of his diss track 'Rap Devil'; an unimaginative inversion of Eminem's 2013 single 'Rap God'. But while he may not be as fluent with literary devices as his more established counter-part, he still had some tough words for the 45-year-old.

Machine Gun Kelly - General Admission Album Review


Machine Gun Kelly is Cleveland's leading export. The MC, signed to P. Diddy's Bad Boy label has been grinding independently for years, finally making a major breakthrough with his Waka Flocka Flame collaboration Wild Boy, released back in 2012. His debut album, Lace Up, released that same year, was an energetic project that showcased Kelly's raw ethos and rapid delivery. General Admission is his sophomore album, and MGK adopts a more mature approach, with more personal content than his previous work.

Machine Gun Kelly - General Admission Album Review

The slow-paced, trapped out beat of Alpha Omega allow Kelly to do what he does best; the aggressive, energetic delivery and frantic, in-the-pocket flow make him a really exciting MC to listen to. The personal content and clever lyricism are a notable step-up from Kelly's earlier work. Sonically it's not a world away, but what MGK is rhyming about is more detailed, thoughtful and sincere, and this translates across the whole of General Admission. The hard hitting electronic production continues over the next few tracks, but Bad Mother Fucker, which features Kid Rock, again displays Kelly's stylistic versatility, as well as continuing with his impressive rhyme structures. It's good that Kelly doesn't switch his content up so much that he loses any of that punk-rock attitude that has helped his reputation grow.

Oz. again chronicles MGK's rise to success, rhyming about his days growing up in Cleveland over a Jim Jonsin production. Everyday is an inspirational track; MGK rides the line between relatable, interesting content and the raw, aggressive style that has given him recognition thus far. Tracks like Gone, although MGK's introspective lyrics are passionately delivered and well written, and Merry Go Round, where Kelly demonstrates skilful storytelling abilities, are let down by the mellow, commercial production. When he crosses over the line that bit too much, he loses that key edge that was present on the early part of the album. A Little More is similar in subject matter to Everyday, except it also falls victim to the catchy, poppy production, whereas Everyday had a soulful vibe with dope beat switches that makes the track have a lot of replay value.
