Cleveland rapper Machine Gun Kelly recently sat down to chop it up with Montreality. During the interview, which took place backstage in a dressing room before one of MGK's shows, the 23-year-old emcee spoke about his deepest conversation with Diddy, the status of his sophomore album with Interscope, as well as whether or not he's listened to Eminem's latest album "The Marshall Mathers LP 2."

While veteran Detroit emcee Eminem is Machine Gun Kelly's idol, the rapper admits to having not listened to the anticipated follow-up to 2000's "The Marshall Mathers LP." "I'm still scared to listen to it," he said. "I'm scared to listen to it 'cause that's my idol. That's my idol, I feel like he's said all he has to say. Of course I'm gonna love anything he does, I would hope people would be the same with me. Have I listened to it? No. Am I scared to listen to it? Yes. Do I want to listen to it? Dude, I wanted to listen to it the second I even heard he was recording it. I'm scared to make that step, 'cause I don't ever wanna look at my idol like, 'Uhhh.' I hear so many different things, but fuck people's opinions I'll make my own. I'l listen to it when I get off tour."

During the interview with Montreality MGK described his working relationship with the Bad Boy founder Diddy. "I think the most profound conversation I've had with Puff would be when I f**k up, and it's a bad f**k up, and I get that call," MGK said. "And I'm at the point where nothing that my team could say to me means anything. I don't wanna hear what he has to say. When I see him call, I'm like, 'I don't wanna hear what anyone has to say,' because I'm stuck in my way. But he'll call and he'll say something that makes so much sense, and it's from someone who had a hot head and you saw [growing] up. He'll just say it in a way that no one else can say it, and you're like, 'F**k, he teaches you a lesson.' He'll mind f**k you. You're so positive, you're like, 'I'm not gonna listen to sh*t he has to say. I'm stuck in my way.' And then he says it and you're like, 'Damn, man, I don't even want to listen to it but he's totally right.' So, I think he kind of kept me from saying, 'F*ck the industry' to the point where I really left the whole industry as a artist. I was so close to just taking both feet out instead of keeping one foot in the real world and one foot in the industry, which I think I do well. He at least helped me keep that foot in."
