Jelly Roll Believes He Can End the Eminem Vs. MGK Feud | Billboard News

Jelly Roll shares his thoughts on the Eminem vs MGK feud, and why he believes he can bring the two artists together. Keep watching to learn more!

Jelly Roll:

My heart is always to bring them together one day because I see so much more of them in each other than they know, you know what I mean?

Tetris Kelly:

Could the Eminem and Machine Gun Kelly feud come to an end? Jelly Roll thinks he can do it. We have the story.

Jelly Roll:

I hadn’t really brought it up to Marshall yet because I’m still just kind of glad that I’m still in that circumstance to be able to have those conversations. But I do see so much more in them than not.

Tetris Kelly:

Em and MGK have exchanged bars and jabs against each other for some time. Jelly has collaborated with both rappers on his project and he told the Flagrant Podcast he’s up for bringing the peace.

Jelly Roll:

Like I also gave Kel some perspective, too. And it’s like we all grew up watching Eminem take over the game early. If you were mentioned in an Eminem song, it was like getting mentioned in a comedy special. You were on fire. You couldn’t be hotter.

Tetris Kelly:

Em and MGK first started butting heads in 2012, when the latter — who was 22 at the time — referred to the former’s then-16-year-old daughter Hailie as “hot as f–k” on Twitter.

Look man, they’re going to get together one day, eventually. It’s inevitable, the world’s a circle, you know what I mean? And I think they’re going to find each other’s heart more than they don’t. And if they never do connect that way I think that it did more for both of them than it did to hurt them.

Fat Joe on First Album in 15 Years ‘The World Changed on Me’ & More | Billboard News

Fat Joe released his first solo album in 15 years, ‘The World Changed On Me.’ He shares how his new work is consistent with his past work, his personal losses and how he’s dealt with them, working with Eminem, why he started ‘Fat Joe Talks’ and more!

Carl Lamarre:

We got a legend here. I’m talking about BX native, just chilling with VP Harris not too long ago, he hosted the BET Hip Hop Awards for the third consecutive year, heavy hitter, legend. Mr. Fat Joe.

Fat Joe:

You know, thank you. I resigned as host to the BET Hip Hop Awards because, no real sh*t, 2 Chainz said I’ve been monopolizing. So he said, “Yo, let me host. I know I could be a good host.” I said, “You know what my brother? You could be the host next year. 

You passed the torch officially?

Yeah, I mean, BET, don’t know that. You know, side bar with 2 Chainz. He was like, “Yo, I really want to do that.” I was like, “No question.”

I love that. I love that. I feel like Chainz will be a good host, man. I mean, you held it down for three years, but it makes sense you pass the torch, because now you can focus on the music, and that’s why we’re here. New album, first one in nearly 15 years. 

That sounds weird. 

A decade and a half. 

Everyone keeps saying that, but I mean, like, what I have ‘Plata o Plomo,’ that’s with Remy and then the Dre album, but I feel like I’ve been consistently working, but I guess this is my first solo in 15 years, that’s crazy. Man, it’s incredible, though. This album is consistent. This album is incredible.

Hi Billboard, how are you? It’s Mau y Ricky.

And we will be ‘Finishing the Lyrics’ of our songs. Let’s see if we know our own lyrics. 

Mau y Ricky:

So that all your friends/ And my friends. 

Ricky:

Or my buddies

Mau:

Don’t see me cry.

Ricky:

Great job Mau.

Baby stop for a second.

Mau:

No!

My heart’s breaking/ And I’m already spoiled.

Ricky, almost.

Ricky:

Almost, thank you. 

Mau:

That’s why there are two of us, so that my brother can rescue me.

You would be buying bread in another store/ It’s none of my business/ What you do on the street/ I like them bad/ Or I like them better/ If you don’t love me. 

Which actually says: I like them better if you don’t love me. I like it better if you don’t love me. But I now say live: I like them bad/ If you don’t love me. 

This was true, I changed it after the years.

Mau y Ricky:

I have a couple of friends for breakfast/ I haven’t gone out at night anymore/ I know I didn’t before/ I am enjoying not having to give notice/ Where was your vase?/ Now I put pipe on the floor of the ganja/ There it gets cold.
