Eminem's Machine Gun Kelly diss track, Killshot, records biggest YouTube debut for a hip-hop video

Eminem ’s new Machine Gun Kelly diss track, “ Killshot ”, has earned more YouTube views in 24 hours than any other hip-hop video in the site’s history.

Billboard reports that the official “Killshot” audio has garnered a record 38.1 million views on YouTube, making it not only the biggest debut for a hip-hop song but also the third-biggest debut of all-time for any song on the website.

Eminem fired first shots at Kelly on “Not Alike,” a track on his new surprise album, Kamikaze. When Kelly responded with his own diss track, “Rap Devil",  Slim Shady put out another — “Killshot,” where he delivers plenty of insults at Kelly and jokingly implicates P Diddy in Tupac’s murder.

Kelly responded again over the weekend wearing a t-shirt with the art work from the “Killshot” track and raising the middle finger.

His last album, Revival , was panned by critics and snubbed by some fans. So, Eminem caught the entertainment world off guard with the surprise release of Kamikaze , his 10th solo album, produced less than nine months after his last effort. The 13-track CD includes the song “ Venom ,” which will feature in the upcoming film of the same name.
