Many moons ago, Marshall Mathers hit up Tim Westwood‘s studio while out and about in the UK back in 2009. With Alchemist on the decks, Em spits 50-65,000, maybe even 100,000 insane bars back to back to back. This man’s wordplay and skill-set have never been, and should/will never be, contested. There’s a reason nobody wants to battle him, they’re smart. This video is comprised of some freestyles with a couple written lines in there as well, but as a whole it embodies who Eminem is and why he is so respected today. The many is a lyrical genius and if you believe otherwise, you’re on the wrong site, buddy. Insane wordplay, alliteration and rhyme schemes, watch the full video below.
Side note: Tim Westwood is, quite notably, the man over in the UK, as far as Hip Hop is concerned. He runs it all and owns his position. Look him up.
