One of my favorite and one of the most favored rappers today has to be Mgk. Machine Gun Kelly was born April 22, 1990. Although MGK is just a stage name, his real name is Richard Colson Baker. He came up from nothing, he was broke and didn’t have much for money and just wrote music to get through the hard days and nights. He had a daughter at a young age and was doing the best he could for her. But one of his biggest inspirations was the rapper DMX. He based his rap style off of DMX. Also had a very unique way of rapping. He came out with many albums that went up in flames and everyone was listening to. His music related to a lot of his average everyday fans, he never felt he was better than any of his fans and made sure they felt that they were an equal person to him even if he was famous. Some people may say that his music is a bad influence on children and people, but through his music he has helped young people through a struggling life. He also helped a young boy that couldn’t walk anymore walk again by bringing him on stage with him with the encouragement of the crowd the boy started to walk and the crowd and MGK cheered him on. He brought a bigger girl on stage that was very self-conscious about herself instead of bringing a girl that was very pretty up, to show the girl that she is no less of a person. His music inspires me and also helps me get through some of the rough days I have. He is a very successful writer and rapper in this day and age. These are just some of the reasons he is one of my favorite rappers.
