10 Musical Shifts That No One Saw Coming

10. Tickets To My Downfall - Machine Gun Kelly

First we'll start at one of the most glaring switch ups that's happened in recent years. For a rapper, it's not like Machine Gun Kelly was all that bad though. Even though he had a few cringe bars every now and again, he was at least serviceable on the albums that he made. After Eminem destroyed him with Killshot though, our man decided to just leave hip hop altogether.

Hooking up with Travis Barker, Tickets to My Downfall is one of the most insane bait and switches we've gotten from an artist, with Kelly putting on a guitar and going full pop punk. It's not like he has rap verses in between these either. From the get go, Kelly just straight up sings in that same snotty tone that we all fell in love with back in the day.

That's not to say that he hasn't found some haters along the way though. For every fan that has jumped on the bandwagon, there are a lot of OG pop punk fans who are more spiteful of MGK right now, thinking that he's wearing another genre like a costume instead of actually being in it for the right reasons. If this album does end up getting more kids into the pop punk genre though, more power to the man.
