This project is dedicated to love, because for my entire life it has been taken from me. Granted, when it was given, I pushed it right back. I couldn't handle it. This was until I experienced the loss of love for what I love doing most: music. That was the one thing worth fighting for, even more-so then[sic] the love of my father. I've found that love again. And I plan on never surrendering it. Find what you love and fight!! Black Flag.[31]

Months later, when I look back at the video [for Till I Die] I [was] like 'Okay, he's in jail, he's shot, he's dead, he snitched' and just to the point where it's sad and I wrote the song to describe how I see the world as a much mature person.\" He also updated the status on his second studio album, noting that the album is finished, and stating that the album would contain \"more lyricism and [would be more] stylistically [influenced by] hip-hop but musically, sonically [would contain] more live instrumentation.\"[33]\n

Baker's feud with G-Eazy began after the end of G-Eazy's relationship with Halsey, when photographs of Baker and Halsey together surfaced. On July 18, 2018, G-Eazy revealed that he had bleached his hair blond, which Baker alleged on Twitter was in an attempt to look like him. On August 30, 2018, G-Eazy released the diss track \"Bad Boy\" against Baker, who responded the next day in a freestyle performed for Hot 97. The same day, Baker tweeted side-by-side photos of the two, with the caption \"I fucked his girl now he looks like me this shit overbearing\".[105] In the track \"Killshot\", Eminem defended G-Eazy and the two ended the feud in April 2019, through what NME described as an \"intervention by Eminem\".[106] In October 2019, G-Eazy stated that Kid Cudi is the reason why the feud ended.[107]\n

\n

Corey Taylor

\n

In 2021, Baker engaged in a feud with Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor after being alluded to in an interview where Taylor stated: \"I hate all new rock for the most part \u2014 well, the artists who failed in one genre and decided to go rock. And I think he knows who he is, but that's another story.\"[108] At Riot Fest in September 2021, Baker and Slipknot were scheduled to play on the same day and time, albeit on different stages. Baker took the opportunity to respond to Taylor's comments, beginning his set by asking the crew to light the crowd so he could \"see who chose to be here instead of with all the old weird dudes with masks.\" He later insulted the band again by stating, \"You wanna know what I'm really happy that I'm not doing? Being 50 years old, wearing a fuckin' weird mask on a fuckin' stage, talking shit.\"[109][110]\n

Later on, Baker revealed on Twitter that Taylor was originally meant to feature on \"Can't Look Back\", a song for Tickets to My Downfall, but the collaboration did not come to fruition because Baker thought the verse was \"fucking terrible\" and accused Taylor of being bitter about not being featured on the album.[111] Taylor responded to the tweet by sharing screenshots of emails between himself and Travis Barker, producer of Tickets to My Downfall, that showed he was the one who respectfully declined to appear on the track due to creative differences. In response, Baker stated that he had simply wanted Taylor to rewrite his verse, reiterating his previous assertion that it was \"really bad.\"[112]\n

In July 2022, Baker admitted in his Life in Pink documentary that he regretted his feud with Taylor and wished that both of them handled the situation better instead of acting \"ridiculous.\"[113]\n

Taylor later addressed the feud during a fan Q&A in January 2022 where he claimed that Baker had started it. He went on to insult Baker's change in musical direction and told him to \"suck every inch of my dick.\"[114][115] But in 2023, Taylor also expressed remorse regarding the feud they had, even clarifying that the two singers have a lot in common, saying: \"He and I are very similar in certain ways. Which, shock and awe. Big-mouth singers. We are big-mouth singers\".[116]\n

About \u200bmgk

\n
\n

Initially coming up as a lyrical rapper before crossing over into pop realms and making a switch to pop punk, a shift that led to Billboard dubbing him the \u201cCrown Prince of Pop Punk\u201d, Machine Gun Kelly (born Colson Baker on April 22, 1990) is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and actor from Cleveland, Ohio.

\n\n

Traveling the world because of his parents' jobs before settling down in Cleveland, Machine Gun Kelly, commonly referred to as MGK, earned his stage name for his lightning-fast delivery while still in high school. His breakthrough came at the start of the 2010s with his party-rap hit \u201cWild Boy\u201d, mixing his lightning-fast flow with hedonistic, party-ready lyrics over a bass-heavy beat. He would go on to release two more rap albums before making his crossover into pop.

\n\n

His third album, bloom, marked a stylistic and commercial turning point for the Ohio rapper. Led by his smash hit single \u201cBad Things\u201d, a pop-rap duet with, at-the-time, rising songstress Camila Cabello, the album saw his style pivot to pop and his sales increase accordingly. With \u201cBad Things\u201d becoming a top five hit on the Hot 100 and reaching the top spot of the pop charts, as well as the album\u2019s other hit, \u201cAt My Best\u201d, nearly cracking the top 20 of the pop charts, the album became the most successful of Machine Gun Kelly\u2019s career.

\n\n

After a highly-publicized feud with Eminem and a critically-acclaimed rap-rock album in 2018 and 2019, respectively, Machine Gun Kelly started to become a household name in 2020 with the release of Tickets To My Downfall, reviving pop punk with a uniquely hip-hop-inspired spin. The approach proved successful, with the album\u2019s single my ex\u2019s best friend\u201d staying on the Hot 100 chart for a full year. At the front of a revival of pop-punk and rock music in the mainstream, he followed up with 2022\u2019s mainstream sellout, for which he earned a Grammy nomination, a first in his career.

CLEVELAND, Ohio \u2013 Whether you\u2019re a fan or not, there\u2019s no denying Machine Gun Kelly has amassed a diverse catalog. Between numerous mixtapes, the first part of his career focused on hip-hop and rap rock, and his chart-topping pop-punk run, there\u2019s something to be said for having such a resume in your early 30s.

That\u2019s what this list is about \u2013 looking back on MGK\u2019s journey from upstart rapper spitting rapid rhymes to one of the biggest rock stars in the world. To be clear, we did not rank every Machine Gun Kelly song.

This list focuses on his six studio albums. No mixtape cuts, non-album singles and remixes, soundtrack and EP songs, or bonus tracks featured on deluxe album reissues. We also excluded interludes and skits (Sorry, Pete Davidson).

Granted, that left some pretty awesome stuff on the cutting room floor, including mixtape standout \u201cBreaking News\u201d and a fun collaboration like \u201cHome\u201d with X Ambassadors and Bebe Rexha. It also means no \u201cRap Devil,\u201d the Eminem diss track that\u2019s a top-five MGK song by every measure.

Look, this dude has A LOT of songs. We had to establish boundaries. That left us with 79 studio album tracks to rank. As always, this is just one person\u2019s opinion. No follower of the EST movement\u2019s list will be the same.

79. \u201cCan\u2019t Walk\u201d (Bloom, 2017)

78. \u201cWake + Bake\u201d (Bloom, 2017)

As previously stated, this is a matter of personal preference. Surely, there\u2019s someone out there reading this and losing their mind over \u201cWake + Bake\u201d being ranked this low. But I do not get high. Just not my thing, making it hard for me to get into either of these two bottom-placed songs. Consider them the \u201cleast good\u201d on a technicality if you must.

77. \u201cRunnin\u201d (feat. Planet VI) (Lace Up, 2012)

76. \u201cStereo\u201d (feat. Alex Fitts) (Lace Up, 2012)

75. \u201cAll We Have\u201d (feat. Anna Yvette) (Lace Up, 2012)

There were some slight growing pains on Machine Gun Kelly\u2019s first album \u201cLace Up.\u201d Mainly, the production didn\u2019t always suit him. The drum-happy vibes of \u201cStereo\u201d feel like a better fit for Twenty One Pilots than MGK, while the generic beat and chorus on \u201cAll We Have\u201d takes away from Kellz\u2019s revealing lyrics. Then there\u2019s the over-produced \u201cPlanet VI,\u201d where there\u2019s simply too much going on.

74. \u201cWW4\u2033 (Mainstream Sellout, 2022)

73. \u201cAy!\u201d with Lil Wayne (Mainstream Sellout, 2022)

72. \u201cEddie Cane\u201d (General Admission, 2015)

A quick bit of trivia: The intro on \u201cEddie Cane\u201d (the title is a reference to a character from \u201cThe Five Heartbeats\u201d) comes from Maceo \u201cChase\u201d Moore, a Cleveland drug trafficker who was sentenced to more than 17 years in federal prison. Indeed, \u201cGeneral Admission\u201d is a Cleveland album through and through. Still, \u201cEddie Cane\u201d lumbers along, never quite making the impact some of the better tracks from the album do.

71. \u201cDie in California\u201d (feat. Gunna, Young Thug and Landon Barker) (Mainstream Sellout, 2022)

70. \u201cSid & Nancy\u201d (Mainstream Sellout, 2022)

69. \u201cMainstream Sellout\u201d (Mainstream Sellout, 2022)

The fallout from \u201cTickets to My Downfall\u201d saw Machine Gun Kelly gaining even more haters disapproving to him jumping into pop punk. Unfortunately, he listened to them. Much of \u201cMainstream Sellout\u201d is a clap back at his critics. Understandable, but it sucks some of the fun out of things.

68. \u201cWorld Series\u201d (General Admission, 2015)

67. \u201cKiss the Sky\u201d (Bloom, 2017)

66. \u201cA Little More\u201d (feat. Victoria Monet) (General Admission, 2015)

65. \u201cDrug Dealer\u201d (feat. Lil Wayne) (Mainstream Sellout, 2022)

A collaboration with Lil Wayne would have been a nice treat during the hip-hop portion of MGK\u2019s career. It still kind of works on \u201cDrug Dealer\u201d from \u201cMainstream Sellout\u201d mostly because Kellz and Wayne\u2019s charisma offsets a chorus that never really takes off.

64. \u201cGo for Broke\u201d (feat. James Arthur) (Bloom, 2017)

63. \u201cFake Love Don\u2019t Last\u201d (with Iann Dior) (Mainstream Sellout, 2022)

62. \u201cAt My Best\u201d (feat. Hailee Steinfeld) (Bloom, 2017)

61. \u201cWild Boy\u201d (feat. Waka Flocka Flame) (Lace Up, 2012)

The first single from Machine Gun Kelly\u2019s first album positions him to get in on a mainstream hip-hop landscape circling around trap, crunk and drill music at the time. \u201cWild Boy\u201d hit the mark on the charts, even if it hasn\u2019t aged well from a pop culture standpoint. The Steve-O shoutouts on the chorus are a bit comical and Waka Flocka\u2019s bars -- \u201cS**k my dragon b***s, call me Goku) -- can be cringeworthy at times. MGK would get better from here.

60. \u201cWhat I Do\u201d (feat. Bun B and Dub-O) (Lace Up, 2012)

59. \u201cLace Up\u201d (feat. Lil Jon) (Lace Up, 2012)

58. \u201cMake Up Sex\u201d (with Blackbear) (Mainstream Sellout, 2022)

57. \u201cEnd of the Road\u201d (feat. Blackbear) (Lace Up, 2012)

Machine Gun Kelly and blackbear have collaborated on tracks before and after \u201cMy Ex\u2019s Best Friend.\u201d And yet, everything they\u2019ve ever done or will do will be compared to that monster hit, which is still to come on this list.

56. \u201cBad Mother F***er\u201d feat. Kid Rock (General Admission, 2015)

It was probably inevitable we were going to get a collaboration between Machine Gun Kelly and Kid Rock. The latter provides a nice chorus. But it\u2019s Kellz who outshines one of his idols, copying New Orleans rap legend Juvenile\u2019s flow at the end of the first verse like it was second nature.

55. \u201cWWIII\u201d (Tickets to My Downfall, 2020)

54. \u201cMerry Go Round\u201d (General Admission, 2015)

53. \u201cNothing Inside\u201d (feat. Iann Dior) (Tickets to My Downfall, 2020)

52. \u201cEdge of Destruction\u201d (feat. Tech N9ne and Twista) (Lace Up, 2012)

\u201cEdge of Destruction\u201d feels like a contest of who can rap the fastest from three rapid-fire rhymers (It\u2019s Twista for the win). The crazy part is, that they could have gone even faster over a better beat. Still, the technical skill showcased on this cut from \u201cLace Up\u201d is something to marvel at.

51. \u201cPapercuts\u201d (Mainstream Sellout, 2022)

50. \u201cJawbreaker\u201d (Tickets to My Downfall, 2020)

49. \u201cSave Me\u201d (feat. M. Shadows and Synyster Gates) (Lace Up, 2012)

\u201cSave Me\u201d is a great reference point for anyone who wants to hate on Machine Gun Kelly for \u201cswitching\u201d to rock music. It\u2019s telling the first track from his first studio album features members of Avenge Sevenfold with driving guitars. Rock was always part of his music.

48. \u201cSex Drive\u201d (Hotel Diablo, 2019)

47. \u201cMoonwalkers\u201d (feat. DubXX) (Bloom, 2017)

46. \u201cEveryday\u201d (General Admission, 2015)

45. \u201cRehab\u201d (Bloom, 2017)

44. \u201cPlay This When I\u2019m Gone\u201d (Tickets to My Downfall, 2020)

43. \u201cOz.\u201d (General Admission, 2015)

42. \u201cSee My Tears\u201d (Lace Up, 2012)

41. \u201cMaybe\u201d with Bring Me the Horizon (Mainstream Sellout, 2022)

\u201cMaybe\u201d might be generic pop-punk -- the guitar part on the chorus sounds almost identical to that of Paramore\u2019s \u201cMisery Business -- but Bring Me the Horizon frontman Oliver Sykes\u2019 voice serves as a great change of pace. He gives the song energy that separates it from the other material on \u201cMainstream Sellout.\u201d

40. \u201cThe Gunner\u201d (Bloom, 2017)

39. \u201cRoulette\u201d (Hotel Diablo, 2019)

38. \u201cTwin Flame\u201d (Mainstream Sellout, 2022)

MGK\u2019s Dashboard Confessional moment. \u201cTwin Flame\u201d is what you typically get when a pop-punk or hardcore band goes acoustic. That\u2019s not necessarily a bad thing. Maybe you\u2019re tired of the Machine Gun Kelly-Megan Fox love saga. But you can\u2019t blame a guy for wearing his heart on his sleeve on a song where the explosive second half soars.

37. \u201cLonely\u201d (Tickets to My Downfall, 2020)

36. \u201cWaste Love\u201d (feat. Madison Love) (Hotel Diablo, 2019)

35. \u201c5150\u2033 (Mainstream Sellout, 2022)

34. \u201cSpotlight\u201d (feat. Lzzy Hale) (General Admission, 2015)

33. \u201c5:3666\u2033 (feat. Phem) (Hotel Diablo, 2019)

32. \u201cGod Save Me\u201d (Mainstream Sellout, 2022)

Fans will recognize the lyrics in \u201cGod Save Me\u201d as the infamous incident mentioned in Machine Gun Kelly\u2019s Hulu documentary where he put a shotgun in his mouth and attempted to pull the trigger. \u201cGod Save Me\u201d takes things to the extreme with the relatable feeling of feeling lost but hoping for a divine intervention front and center.

31. \u201cGone\u201d (feat. Leroy Sanchez) (General Admission, 2015)

30. \u201cTitle Track\u201d (Tickets to My Download, 2020)

29. \u201cGolden God\u201d (Bloom, 2017)

28. \u201cFloor 13\u2033 (Hotel Diablo, 2019)

27. \u201cBorn with Horns\u201d (Mainstream Sellout, 2022)

\u201cBorn with Horns\u201d was the original title for Machine Gun Kelly\u2019s sixth studio album and it\u2019s easy to see why. It truly carries over the pop-punk energy from \u201cTickets to My Downfall.\u201d It\u2019s a blazing opener with Travis Barker\u2019s terrific drumming as the highlight.

26. \u201cD3MONS\u201d (feat. DMX) (Lace Up, 2012)

For hip-hop heads, this is a dream collaboration. Even past his prime, DMX\u2019s growl was still capable of giving you chills. The darkness of Dame Grease and Snaz\u2019s production suits Machine Gun Kelly as well. You can feel Kellz elevating his skills to perform on a track with a legend.

25. \u201cLet You Go\u201d (Bloom, 2017)

24. \u201cInvincible\u201d (feat. Ester Dean) (Lace Up, 2012)

Alex da Kid has a very distinct production style that lends itself to very emotional verses followed by a soaring chorus. He is the man behind \u201cAirplanes,\u201d \u201cLove the Way You Lie\u201d and \u201cI Need a Doctor.\u201d Throughout \u201cLace Up,\u201d MGK is seeking to nail that mix of meaningful music with pop sensibility and he comes closest here. The production is heavy-handed, but it works, primarily because of the intensity in Kellz\u2019s voice and the power of Ester Dean\u2019s powerful voice.

23. \u201cEmo Girl\u201d (with Willow) (Mainstream Sellout, 2022)

It\u2019s easy to hate \u201cEmo Girl,\u201d a track that produced memes almost immediately. But there\u2019s no denying its catchiness and the fact guest star Willow kills it. \u201cEmo Girl\u201d is one of the standout moments from \u201cMainstream Sellout\u201d that can rival some of the best songs from \u201cTickets to My Downfall.\u201d

22. \u201cDeath in My Pocket\u201d (Hotel Diablo, 2019)

\u201cDeath in My Pocket\u201d may feature the best lyrical opening of any Machine Gun Kelly song: \u201cDon\u2019t know, why but it feels like my world is crashing down/I just bought a brand new car, I want to crash it now/How much darkness did it take to get this flashy now?\u201d Kellz brought his hip-hop A-game to his fourth album.

21. Concert for Aliens\u201d (Tickets to My Downfall, 2020)

Several of the songs on \u201cTickets to My Downfall\u201d sound like Blink-182 tunes. This makes sense considering A) the album was produced by Travis Barker and B) It can be pretty hard to write a pop-punk song that doesn\u2019t sound like Blink-182. To say the fun and bouncy \u201cConcert for Aliens\u201d is one of the best Blink songs that Blink never wrote is a compliment of the highest order.

20. \u201cAlpha Omega\u201d (General Admission, 2015)

If you needed to explain Machine Gun Kelly to someone who has never heard of him, \u201cAlpha Omega\u201d may be the song. MGK\u2019s flow rides over an epic beat, providing for one of his finest hours as a lyricist: \u201cWhat\u2019s your religion?/I wanna know what God you\u2019re seeing in a couple of seconds/I wanna see the criticism \u2018bout my lyricism/When I\u2019m in your face rippin\u2019 this rhythm up like cannibalism, it\u2019s Kells!\u201d

19. \u201cDrunk Face\u201d (Tickets to My Downfall, 2020)

18. \u201cBurning Memories\u201d (feat. Lil Skies) (Hotel Diablo, 2019)

17. \u201cTrap Paris\u201d (feat. Quavo and Ty Dolla $ign) (Bloom, 2017)

16. \u201cAll I Know\u201d feat. (Trippie Redd) (Tickets to My Downfall, 2020)

Diehard punk fans may roll their eyes at Machine Gun Kelly (with Trippie Red) paying homage to Operation Ivy\u2019s classic \u201cKnowledge.\u201d But it\u2019s part of the first half of \u201cTickets to My Downfall\u201d that can do no wrong.

15. \u201cAll Night Long\u201d (General Admission, 2015)

The closing track from \u201cGeneral Admission\u201d is also one of the longest tracks of Kellz\u2019s career. The beat is simple enough and the piano melody is catchy. But where the song reaches legendary status is when the MGK sits back and narrates the story of how he got his record deal. It\u2019s an insight into everything he\u2019s gone through to make it to the top. Even at seven minutes, you still want more.

14. \u201cOn My Way\u201d (Lace Up, 2012)

It\u2019s not the obvious choice for the best song on Machine Gun Kelly\u2019s debut \u201cLace Up.\u201d But \u201cOn My Way\u201d is a special track. MGK spends much of it talking about the early days before looking to the future. \u201cWe too grounded to be Hollywood, man,\u201d he proclaims before spitting a verse that incorporates numerous film titles. Never question this dude\u2019s lyricism.

13. \u201cEl Diablo\u201d (Hotel Diablo, 2019)

\u201cTell all my competition that I love \u2018em/But I brought \u2018em back just to kill \u2018em again...\u201d Yep, \u201cEl Diablo\u201d is the Machine Gun Kelly song sure to give you that \u201cick\u201d face. The filthy beat and MGK\u2019s lyrics are pure fire, especially when he points out he was one of the first rappers to put on a rock show but doesn\u2019t get credit for it.

12. \u201cKiss Kiss\u201d (Tickets to My Downfall, 2020)

The first half of \u201cTickets to My Downfall\u201d is pretty much all killer, no filler, loaded with songs like \u201cKiss Kiss\u201d that sound like they could have ranked among the best pop-punk songs from the genre\u2019s 21st century glory days. For anyone who thought MGK doing pop-punk might not work, \u201cKiss Kiss\u201d proved them wrong.

11. \u201cCandy\u201d (feat. Trippie Redd) (Hotel Diablo, 2019)

It was the video for \u201cCandy,\u201d which featured Machine Gun Kelly and Pete Davidson going around doing all sorts of wild things, that made MGK\u2019s label call him and ask WTF was going on. It\u2019s a fun antidote to one of the catchiest songs on \u201cHotel Diablo,\u201d a track that showcases the undeniable chemistry between Kellz and guest Trippie Redd.

10. \u201cForget Me Too\u201d (feat. Halsey) (Tickets to My Downfall, 2020)

Part of the reason \u201cTickets to My Downfall\u201d was well received is its ability to conjure up 2000s pop-punk nostalgia fans left at the Warped Tour. Perhaps no track does that more than \u201cForget Me Too,\u201d Machine Gun Kelly\u2019s duet with Halsey. The song revolves around a huge chorus. And, with all due respect to MGK, Halsey steals the show. Seriously, when is her pop-punk album coming out?

9. \u201cBad Things\u201d (with Camila Cabello) (Bloom, 2017)

The success of \u201cBad Things\u201d was a double-edged sword. People didn\u2019t want to stop talking about it or (worse) attributed its success to pop star Camila Cabello\u2019s presence and the sample of Fastball\u2019s 1999 single \u201cOut of My Head.\u201d Those things were tremendous factors, no doubt. But the best part of \u201cBad Thing\u201d is all MGK: \u201cI want you forever/Even when we\u2019re not together/ Scars on my body so I can take you wherever, like/I want you forever...\u201d That\u2019s the hook that kept people coming back time and time again, making it a top-five hit on the pop charts.

8. \u201cStory of the Stairs\u201d (General Admission, 2015)

When the tracklist for \u201cGeneral Admission\u201d was revealed, \u201cStory of Stairs\u201d stood out for its intriguing title alone. And it didn\u2019t disappoint. The song tells the story of MGK\u2019s mother leaving him and his attempt to reconnect with her, as well as other struggles such as his girlfriend cheating on him and his battles with his dad. It\u2019s the biggest tearjerker on \u201cGeneral Admission\u201d and a true showcase of Kellz\u2019s storytelling and artistry.

7. \u201cHollywood Whore\u201d (Hotel Diablo, 2019)

Never say Machine Gun Kelly can\u2019t write a diss track, whether he\u2019s aiming at a rap legend or -- in the case of \u201cHollywood Whore\u201d -- exposing someone who ripped him off. \u201cHollywood Whore\u201d finds MGK going into hard rock mode. The first single from \u201cHotel Diablo\u201d wasn\u2019t a huge hit. But ask any true fan and they\u2019ll tell you the Linkin Park-influenced \u201cHollywood Whore\u201d is a monster of a song.

6. \u201cMy Ex\u2019s Best Friend\u201d(feat. Blackbear) (Tickets to My Downfall, 2020)

As Machine Gun Kelly says sometimes at his concerts, \u201cAnd now for a song no one has ever heard...\u201d Indeed, EVERYONE has heard \u201cMy Ex\u2019s Best Friend,\u201d the biggest hit of Machine Gun Kelly\u2019s career. And it deserves all the streams and accolades. A stellar collaboration with Blackbear, \u201cMy Ex\u2019s Best Friend\u201d is the finest showcase of Machine Gun Kelly being able to craft an enduring pop hit with ease.

5. \u201cGlass House\u201d (feat. Naomi Wild) (Hotel Diablo, 2019)

MGK has a way of bleeding all over his most emotional tracks. There isn\u2019t a side of him you\u2019re not allowed to see. That\u2019s never more apparent than on \u201cGlass House,\u201d a haunting single where Machine Gun Kelly pulls no punches about lost friends and internal struggles. The stunning chorus from Naomi Wild paves the way for a jaw-dropping final verse where MGK reveals a suicide attempt (\u201cI didn\u2019t sign up to be a hero/but I don\u2019t wanna wind up a villain\u201d).

4. \u201cTill I Die\u201d (General Admission, 2015)

\u201cOne time for the city...My city\u201d It\u2019s a bold move for a major artist to make the lead single from his sophomore album an anthem about Cleveland. On the single version of \u201cTill I Die,\u201d Kellz admits there were people who told him it was career suicide. But he proved them wrong. You know \u201cTill I Die\u201d is special right from the epic opening chords from production team J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League. The combination of the incredible beat and MGK\u2019s swagger represents a Cleveland musical moment. This is a hometown anthem that isn\u2019t going anywhere anytime soon.

3. \u201cBloody Valentine\u201d (Tickets to My Download, 2020)

It can be hard to pinpoint the exact moment someone became a superstar. But \u201cMy Bloody Valentine\u201d may very well be it for Machine Gun Kelly. It was the perfect storm. Between the driving, earworm of a chorus (\u201cIn my head, in my head...\u201d), his relationship with actress Megan Fox and the fun video featuring her, Machine Gun Kelly had reached a new level.

2. \u201cI Think I\u2019m Okay\u201d (with Yungblud and Travis Barker) (Hotel Diablo, 2019)

And so it begins...The official start of MGK\u2019s pop-punk run takes place on the final track of \u201cHotel Diablo.\u201d At the time, it felt like a weird choice of a song, let alone a single. In retrospect, \u201cI Think I\u2019m Okay\u201d -- with Travis Barker on drums and pop-punk torch bearer Yungblud\u2019s passionate screams \u2013 was the perfect introduction to MGK\u2019s new direction that would take him to stadium status.

1. \u201c27\u2033 (Bloom, 2017)

\u201cBloom\u201d is not Machine Gun Kelly\u2019s best album. But it does end with a defining moment. \u201c27\u2033 is one of the most honest songs of MGK\u2019s career that finds him examining his mortality. It wasn\u2019t the first or last time Kellz tackled the subject. But \u201c27\u2033 represents his greatest attempt at a generational anthem with powerful lines like \u201cWhat is a beautiful life without a beautiful death?\u201d If you want to rank \u201cI\u2019m Think I\u2019m Okay\u201d or any of the songs from the top six or seven in this spot, I can\u2019t fault you. But \u201c27\u2033 is a song about leaving a legacy from a guy who openly thought he might not make it past a certain age. The track was so meaningful that MGK used it as the name of his popular coffee shop in Cleveland\u2019s Flats. In many ways, \u201c27\u2033 felt like the end of something. Fortunately, it was just the beginning.
