Yep, that’s Machine Gun Kelly grabbing his nuts and doing that face thing he does on the cover of the latest issue of XXL.
The hip-hop magazine’s latest issue celebrates the Freshman Class of 2012, an annual list of selected rappers from around the world primed for world domination over the next 12 months. (Just ignore the comment on the magazine’s website that calls the list “supper wack.”)
MGK is one of 10 artists to make this year’s cut.

Best headline for awhile, Michael…Machine Gun Kelly (MGK) Grabs Nuts, Makes Funny Face on Cover of magazine. That is classic and should get some kind of winning headline award. I would like to see that on the front page of the PD and seen in every driveway and front yard in the area. Maybe no story at all but the headline would be fun.
What if somehow we were in the Twilight Zone and a guy came to Cleveland and thought that the Scene was the mainstream and the PD was the radical and insane thinking paper. How would MGK grabs Nuts, Makes Funny Face be thought any more absurd than some of the news the main stream rams down our throats everyday. I mean the coverage of the Chardon nightmare was handled as good or better by the Scene than by the main stream. Are our media giants like the PD doing their job well? I am under the impression that our Ohio big newspapers are in kahoots and pushing their republican deep roots.
