Hello, Eminem fans. Today I’m here with details about Eminem’s fastest song. You might say I’m mad. Because Eminem is all about rap and all his songs are super-fast. But, do you know? Among these super-fast songs by Eminem, there is a super-duper fast song. And Today I’m here to describe it. Eminem’s fastest track is “Godzilla”.
The Fastest Song: Godzilla
Godzilla was released on 17th January 2020. Eminem has created this in a collaboration with the late rapper Juice WRLD. This song was a part of his “Music to Be Murdered By” album. This became more popular among the whole world due to its super-fast nature and this song was the better example for the excellent rapping style of Eminem.
The record-breaking speed of Godzilla
Even though I name this song as the fastest song by Eminem, you will argue with me how I say that Godzilla is the fastest song. But wait, let me prove it! With the release of Godzilla, Eminem has broken his records of previous rapping speed. Can you believe that, in the third verse of this song he raps at a speed of 10.65 syllables per second? Just try to rap this piece of lyrics at that speed and don’t blame me after biting your tongue. Because a typical person will never reach that speed. And if you don’t carefully listen to this piece of verse, you will not be able to understand what it says.
Previous records before Godzilla
So, after getting to know the speed at which Eminem rapped in Godzilla, you will not argue with me anymore. But do you know how Eminem broke his record? Let me describe. Before releasing Godzilla, Eminem’s fastest song was “Rap God” which was released in 2013. In here he has rapped nearly 97 words per 15 seconds. That means 6.46 words per second. So, with the release of “Godzilla”, “Rap God” dropped to second place in speed.
And also, in the song “Majesty” by Niki Minaj, Eminem exhibits his brilliant rapping speed.
