CADET X DENO- ADVICE

MACHINE GUN KELLY- RAP DEVIL

 

 

120PTS

 

EO- GERMAN

 

 

120PTS

 

The next four at 40th, is Craig David ft Bastille- I Know You, another good song from him, the next two probably unpopular on Buzzjack are 'Advice' which just worked well for them just enjoyed listening to this throughout the autumn and this mentioning Tottenham footballer Delle Alli for some reason. Next we have the first of two 'diss tracks' in the Top40 with Machine Gun Kelly's 'Rap Devil' which was aimed at Eminem this quite a unpopular choice for some but this just grow on me and finally we have EO with 'German' enjoyed this, a great chilled hip-hop track.

39TH:

 

EMINEM- KILLSHOT

 

 

124PTS

 

 

 

At #39, we have the second of 'diss tracks' with Eminem with his response to Machine Gun Kelly's 'Rap Devil'. In this chart, Eminem wins over Machine Gun Kelly in the diss tracks. This is Eminem's second appearance in the Top40. he has one track left to appear which is higher up.

38TH:

 

STAY FREE GET LIZZY PRESENTS FREDO X YOUNG T & BUGSEY- AY CARMABA

 

 

 

124PTS

 

 

Next, we have Ay Carmaba with rappers Fredo, Young T and Bugsey.

Nice to see I Know You here, great to see both of them get another hit although I don't go back to it much. Advice is really catchy as well even if it isn't the sort of song I usually listen to.

Loving Venom, Man's Not Hot, Advice, Killshot & Ay Caramba so far.

 

Regarding Advice and Dele Alli. The song started out as a freestyle on Instragram around the same time when Alli did his eye celebration and included the line (don't have your eye on her like Dele Alli) and then Dele Alli started talking about it so they made it into a full song :D

 

While Killshot feels like a career ender for MGK, I thought the Rap Devil diss was terrible :(

'I Know You' is a song that I listened to quite a bit during the beginning of 2018, although haven't heard it for a while. 'Advice' is indeed a very catchy song just grow on me.

 

 

Thanks for commenting, Pete :)
