Machine Gun Kelly spoke with XXL on the meaning of "Warning Shot" (from Bad Boy's "The Preview" mixtape), working with Diddy and who had the best verse of Jay-Z's collaboration with Eminem, "Renegade."

Is it hard at all for you to show vulnerability in your music? Because you do that a lot. Is there ever a hesitation?

Not at all. Well, now, because I see people try to take advantage of it—to take advantage of the vulnerability and think that they can say and do whatever to you because they know you so well—which is my goal, but I see it taken advantage of a lot. That’s the price you pay I guess. I’m sure that’s why people like X and them fight all those demons. But that’s what makes the greats great.
