Eminem Takes Aim at Corny White Rappers Including MGK on “Bad One”
Eminem, the iconic rapper known for his unapologetic lyrics and provocative style, has once again stirred controversy with his latest album, “The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).”
Among the album’s tracks, “Bad One,” featuring White Gold, has captured attention for its bold statements and targeted jabs.
In “Bad One,” Eminem doesn’t hold back as he addresses what he perceives as a proliferation of “corny white rappers” mimicking his style.
He critiques the sub-genre he helped shape, expressing disdain for artists he feels lack authenticity in their craft.
Drawing a parallel to controversial figure Candace Owens, Eminem uses his platform to critique societal trends and question cultural integrity.
“Yeah, this whole sub-genre with all these corny white rappers, I’m not a fan of it / It ain’t my fault, but like sock puppets, I had a hand in it / This thousand bucks in my hand is just like what Candace did / When she turned her back on her own race ’cause I have abandoned it.”
The track also reignites past feuds, notably with Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), with whom Eminem has a history of lyrical sparring.
“Mission accomplished, people off this stunt / And pissed a billion people off at once (Yeah) / But I gotta keep going Tyson on Kelly (What?) / I bodied him twice already / That little motherf–ker’s back throwing subs (Like what?) like a food fight at the deli / And that is why E got (EGOT) the attitude he got like Liza Minnelli / My male ego / Is the size of the belly on Jelly Roll…”

Beyond its confrontational tone, “Bad One” showcases Eminem’s introspective side, addressing themes of legacy, influence, and personal growth.
He acknowledges his role as both a pioneer and a lightning rod for controversy within the music industry, emphasizing the complexities of fame and artistic expression.
With “The Death of Slim Shady,” Eminem continues to push boundaries, using his platform to provoke thought and challenge norms.
The album’s release has sparked widespread debate among fans and critics alike, underscoring Eminem’s enduring impact on hip-hop culture and his ability to command attention with every new release.
As listeners dissect the lyrics of “Bad One” and the album as a whole, Eminem remains a potent force in rap music, unafraid to tackle sensitive topics and defend his artistic legacy.
Whether stirring debate or paying homage to his daughter Hailie Jade in more tender moments, Eminem’s latest album reaffirms his status as a rap legend and cultural provocateur.
