Background: El Diablo is MGK's second single off their fourth album, Hotel Diablo. In this track, he confronts those who questioned his career, particularly following his public fight with Eminem. The song was originally titled "el diablo" but was later changed to "el Diablo" when the album was released, with a skit by Jordan Wozy! and PPLCALLMEACE at the conclusion.

Annotations and Meaning

. The song el Diablo begins with a strong statement of defiance. MGK reminds his opponents that he loves them but is prepared to defeat them again, addressing listeners who questioned his resolve. He has a drink on hand in case any new disputes arise, ready to face them. He promises to battle his doubters with the same tenacity as Adonis Creed, the protagonist of the film "Creed." MGK, the rapper known for his music, has been criticized for his past feud with Eminem, which led to a series of diss tracks before his song "RAP DEVIL." He has since denied any wrongdoing and has used the term "fuck 'em" to refer to both "Fuck them" and "Fuck Em (Eminem). MGK's song "Make It Happen" is a reference to his own journey and the importance of working hard towards one's goals. He believes that if you can dream it, then you should work hard towards your goals and make it happen. The song's overall theme is that if you can dream it, then you should work hard towards your goals and go make it happen. MGK's recklessness is a major topic in his later Hotel Diablo track "Roulette," where he discusses his recklessness and recklessness in relationships and friendships. Baker's caution regarding relationships and friendships likely originated from a business-wise experience that hurt him more than a deeper type of hurt that he never knew. MGK has always been inspired by rock and pop-punk, citing Linkin Park as influences. He fully embraced this influence on 2020's Tickets to My Downfall and included a similar sentiment on his May 2017 L.A. Leakers freestyle. MGK released his third studio album, Bloom, in May 2017, which sold over 500,000 copies in the U.S. within six months. He has also mentioned his relationship with Eminem, which was a result of his diss tracks with him. In summary, MGK's music has been influenced by various sources, including his past feud with Eminem, his recklessness in relationships, and his love for rock and pop-punk. His music has been a source of inspiration for many, and his third studio album, Bloom, sold over 500,000 copies in the U.S. within six months. The pre-chorus emphasizes MGK's devotion to his inner circle and determination to make things happen despite difficulty. He highlights his return to rapping, rekindling his enthusiasm and energy. The chorus highlights his high-risk lifestyle, equating it to gambling and emphasizing the value of having close friendships while staying away from others. In the second verse, MGK muses on previous relationships and his personal reputation. He describes a former lover who is now promiscuous, emphasizing his late-night habits and previous fights. He compares his pre-fame challenges, such as boiling water for a shower, to his current success and goals. The final lyric establishes MGK's status among the greats of his generation. He believes he altered the way rappers perform on stage, but others gained popularity by imitating his technique. He realizes the hatred he receives because of his appearance, but he remains confident in his impact. The outro features a sketch on the time since MGK's last album and the key events that have occurred, which provides background for his current perspective. MGK's songs are full of references to his challenges, achievements, and perseverance. He confronts his doubters directly, underlining his commitment to succeed. The song blends strong wordplay with intimate insights to highlight MGK's distinct status in the rap industry.

​el Diablo Song Lyrics

​el Diablo by MGK


[Intro: UnoTheActivist]
(RONNY J, please turn me up)

[Verse 1: mgk]
Tell all my competition that I love 'em, but I brought 'em back just to kill 'em again
Tell all the listeners that I said f**k 'em if they thought I'd never be breathing again
I keep some drink in the cup in case anyone got some more beef, I can eat 'em again
I made a promise to beat they ass up like Adonis if I ever meet 'em again

[Pre-Chorus: mgk]
f**k your big bro, uh
We the ones that got it when the rent's low
I make it happen again, I'm back to rappin' again, 808 slappin' again
Light it and pass it again, know what I'm packin' again, I'm an assassin again

[Chorus: mgk & SlimXX]
I shoot dice, yeah, gamble with my life, yeah (Yeah)
No invites, yeah, keep my circle tight, yeah
All my hoes, yeah, keep that sugar spice, yeah (Yeah)
For the bros, yeah, I do not think twice, yeah

[Verse 2: mgk, mgk & SlimXX]
I got a combination to a safe in the back of the bank that be storing my sh*t
Just had a conversation with a girl that I dated, now she out here whoring and sh*t
I got a reputation to be going and showing up 4 in the morning and sh*t
I had a altercation down in Florida, I threw his face on the floor of the sh*t
[Pre-Chorus: mgk]
f**k a b**ch, though, huh
Y'all ain't want us before we was rich, ho
I can't go back to this sh*t, I need a castle and sh*t, I'm on some Dracula sh*t
I used to have to heat up pans of water to shower
But y'all don't know half of this sh*t, no

[Chorus: mgk & SlimXX]
I shoot dice, yeah, gamble with my life, yeah (Yeah)
No invites, yeah, keep my circle tight, yeah
All my hoes, yeah, keep that sugar spice, yeah (Yeah)
For the bros, yeah, I do not think twice, yeah

[Verse 3: mgk]
Diablo
Stop the debate if my name isn't mentioned in this generation as one of the greatest
From lyrics to cadence, I changed the way rappers rock out on them stages, I saw people take it
And they were more famous, so I ain't get credit, I had to be patient
I know people hate me just by my appearance
You motherf**kers can't be serious, ayy

[Chorus: mgk & SlimXX]
I shoot dice, yeah, gamble with my life, yeah (Yeah)
No invites, yeah, keep my circle tight, yeah
All my hoes, yeah, keep that sugar spice, yeah (Yeah)
For the bros, yeah, I do not think twice, yeah
I shoot dice, yeah, gamble with my life, yeah (Yeah)
No invites, yeah, keep my circle tight, yeah
All my hoes, yeah, keep that sugar spice, yeah (Yeah)
For the bros, yeah, I do not think twice, yeah
[Outro: mgk]
Diablo
(El Diablo)

[Skit: PPLCALLMEACE, mgk & Jordan Wozy]
The last album was like a year and a half ago? (Yeah, 2016)
Yeah, oh, wow ('17, '17)
Oh, okay, yeah, yeah, you've had a whole lotta sh*t happen in-between then (Yeah)
A whole lotta sh*t
