Machine Gun Kelly recently sat down with Rap-Up, to discuss his highly anticipated debut album, Lace Up, after having signed to Bad Boy in 2011. He shed details on working on the song "Lace Up" with Lil Jon and how he views doing a collaboration with Eminem would be like a dream come true.
"The song me and Lil Jon got on there is called 'Lace Up.' I've never made a song called 'Lace Up,' and I was like, 'F*ck it, I've got to do one. When Lil Jon came into the studio, I was like, 'You're not getting on the song [that will be] the anthem of my movement if you don't truly understand this,' and we sat there for about an hour and I ran through countless amounts of fan tattoos with 'Lace Up' on them, countless amounts of show footage, countless amounts of messages from fans. Dude was like, 'Yo, this is real' - towards the point where he was like 'I've gotta get on this song.' We did it, and it's the real Lil Jon you want to hear on it. It's something where we were like, 'Should we take this to radio...nah, radio wouldn't understand it'...but my fans, when they hear it, they'll love it.
"That would be a fan favorite if an MGK-Eminem song ever went down. Best rapper alive in my opinion. The DMX-MGK thing was a dream collaboration...if those two [DMX and Eminem] could be knocked off, I won't have any more on my bucket list really."
