Two of Cleveland's biggest rap artists, Kid Cudi and Machine Gun Kelly, have been going at it. Their beef stems from the Cleveland term, "raging." Both rappers claimed to have invented the term for hardcore partying.

After trading barbs with Wale for nearly a year, Kid Cudi is no stranger to beef. Despite his image as a peaceful rapper, Kid Cudi has gotten into it before. Kid Cudi has been more than ready to go after the newest signee to Bad Boy ever since the "raging" debate.

On his Tumblr page, Kid Cudi proclaimed there is only one "rager" and it is him. Kid Cudi said he created the term and the lifestyle. Crediting himself for changing the meaning of "rage," and its associated words, Cudi did everything except call Machine Gun Kelly out by name. Kid Cudi said it looks like he will have to do some copyrighting.

Machine Gun Kelly responded to Kid Cudi, saying he does not have any issues with the fellow "rager." He also said he is not going to get into a rap battle with someone over a word.

Machine Gun Kelly is the biggest sensation to come out of Cleveland since LeBron James. James was the local product, who led the Cavaliers, formerly a bottom-feeding team, to five consecutive playoff appearances. After failing to win a title each season, James left the Cavaliers.

Cleveland fans were highly upset with James, their hero until this point. The All-Star forward received death threats and his jersey was burned. Despite a year passing since LeBron James left, the people in his former city are still upset. The newest artist signed to Bad Boy Records is no different.

When Machine Gun Kelly was asked about how it felt to lose LeBron James, he said he really did not like him at all. Kelly went on to say James was really a poor example of a human being. People in Cleveland "don't roll like that," said Kelly. The west boys stay true to their hometown and the heroes do not leave their town in need, he continued. This was the code Kelly assumed most Cleveland-area natives lived by until LeBron James left for the greener grasses in Miami.
