Vanity Fair recently gave Shaker Heights High School grad Machine Gun Kelly the chance to explain Cleveland slang.

In a ridiculous nearly-8-minute video, the rapper/actor was more than game to break down stuff like Sweetest Day, the Q, ‘The Mistake By the Lake,” Dead Man’s Curve, pop vs. soda and the Muni Lot to people who aren’t familiar.

While Kelly does marvel at things like Put-in-Bay and the city’s extreme love of St. Patrick’s Day (he explains that on March 17 downtown looks like “Jesus came back from the dead”), he also makes clear that “Cleveland rocks. It’s like a great town with great people.”

  1. MGK is an illuminati loser. Surprised he had a moment without eminem’s dick in his mouth to do this.

  2. Everybody needs a gimmick and this guy’s is Cleveland. He doesn’t live here now and only lived here for a short time before. He is an opportunist who needed somewhere for his rap character to rep.

  3. This POS (and his ridiculous shtick) is the last thing we need right now.

  4. Oh, I thought that was justin bieber in the pic. He doesn’t look like he’s from Cleveland, more like west hollywood.

  5. This cock sucking satanist can go take another ritual blood bath and stop pretending he’s cleveland.
