Slim Shady Drops Visual For Super Lyrical Third Single
He’s already platinum, critics agree that The Marshall Mathers LP 2 is a return to form for the Detroit emcee, and now, Eminem, has released the long-awaited video for “Rap God.” The vid is over 6 minutes of top level, multisyllabic word bending that perhaps only Eminem can flawlessly execute.
And although he may have lost his childhood home, which serves as the cover to his new album, Em proves that he’s still got his skills. As if the bar-fest isn’t impressive enough, at one point in the song, the 4:26 mark to be precise, Em says a staggering 97 words in a mere 15 seconds. Not only is it a clinic in high-caliber rhyming, but the dizzying display also debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, giving Eminem his 7th Top 10 start on the Hot 100, pushing him past Lil Wayne (who has six) for the most by a man in the chart’s over half-a-century history.
