    Who is MGK and what does it stands for? And why does he showed up his face at Wrestlemania 28 performing John Cena's entrance during the Rock vs, Cena dream match? Hey WWE, as long as your providing recording artists all the time in a pay-per-view, make sure it's NOT copyright infringement. Lace Up is one of the worst albums of 2012. Bar none. Flo Rida is way better than this trash.

    Machine Gun Kelly has built a cult-like fan base by making music people can easily relate to. And with this album he continues with that trend. Lace Up is a debut album any artist would be proud of.

    Why people think MGK is good, I'll never know. I listened to this by recommendation by my brother, and once again, MGK provides further proof that he'll never be good. He can be a good pop star, but as a rapper he fails.

    In Machine Gun Kelly, Cleveland finally gets its very own Eminem: a clever, working-class white kid who fires nail-gun rhymes in dense clusters.

    MGK is a talented rapper, but here, on his major label album, he sounds hollow.

    Though he may no longer be quite the underdog he once was, rapping like it--at least for no--still works
