Eminem made music history when he rapped 1,560 words in “Rap God,” which clocks in at six minutes and four seconds. Guinness World Records recognized this for most words in a hit single.
UKFÂ reports that this record has been broken by UK rapper Harry Shotta. His song “Animal” features 1,771 words in six minutes and nine seconds.
“I wanted it to be the exact length of ‘Rap God,'” Shotta says, “and, just for a personal challenge, I wanted to see if I could get anywhere close to his word count.”
The emcee says he is not trying to start beef with Eminem.
“This is purely about pushing our art and having some fun,” he says. “A lot of our fans have been tweeting him… It’s gone mental this week so I’m sure someone in his camp will know. I hope he likes the track and appreciates what we’ve done. It’s all about the art of emceeing and pushing it to the next level.”
The record has not been recognized by Guinness yet.
For additional Eminem coverage, watch the following DX Daily:
Animal isnt a hit record so he didn’t break Ems record. Go bak to the drawing board, kid.
And rap god had a hook.
Nice marketing trick. Not a hit single still.
Depends on what they consider a hit. Apparently the song is almost in the top 10 on the UK charts.
This song is not almost in the top 10 in the UK, its not anywhere apart from the internet right now.
Other countries want the Title of best music.. It can happen
Shotta’s gonna rap his heart out before he out shines Em… Go get a new sheet, Krayzie gonna beat ya teeth outta ya mouth
Dats Bullshit!
hes ite but stop tryna use em’s name for plays lame
All I could think of while watching the video was Triple Threat by Anilyst
Eminem is the Rap God who is this guy
Em is garbage
To emstrack had a hook in it this dudes just rappin str8 thru if em just rapped without the hook his word count would been a lot more
Cat got skillz I think Em should listen to this track and consider signing him I do mean really listen and test his skillz and mind set talented he is Harry Shotta
two white boys calling African American art their own, whatever!
You must be from the non lyrical south
British accents suck in rap music
I disagree. I frankly don’t care.
To all you Yanks. This is Drum and Bass emcee’ing. Not Hip Hop. Go you tube some of this nd you’ll realise how good he is. Also Google the lyrics to animal Harry shotta. Just because you don’t understand it all doesn’t mean it’s spitting shit. He’s playing to the different ‘pond’.
Em is a legend and Shotta says himself he means no disrespect. What’s wrong with someone trying to up the game, even if you think it’s craps, it’s better than most can do.
How is the recort broken? This guy’s song isn’t a hit single + he sucks.
wipe the semen off ya mouth u weirdo groupie LOL “it wasn’t a hit record” you sound like a woman defending her husband and the bad part is u don’t have any real people around to tell you how much of a punk you are
A lot of hating stans on Em’a dick. . .
That comment dosent change fact……. He needs to keep trying, em is rare and you cant deny his talent, but this guy……. Please
Ever heard of Mac lethal?
Waaay not better than rap god!! Yall must b
e silly…
yea but no one even cares what this guy is saying….
I cant relate to his music
Who can? This is just one guy saying the same thing for 6 min. “I destroy all opposition” how can anybody relate to garbage, they dont do hip hop right “across the pond”
Matt caz. It’s not Hip Hop it’s Drum and Bass. Educate yourself fella!
wow really??
i dont care 🙂
words?….lets talk about the content in it.
And syllables. Count all syllables as a word and tell me who had more. Em didn’t go to the studio and say shit I’m going to break a record today for saying a bunch of words. This dude is using ems name pretty much to get hits. Im definitely a Stan or what these fucks would call a eminem dick rider lol. I didn’t think this guys flow was bad but the song was pretty boring and the British accent is annoying. The content in this song compared to what Em did on rap God is child’s play. Eh I’m done lol sorry for the rant. Thanks for reading lol
who da fuc is this f@ggot?? lmao
its not a hit thou…nor as gud as shady. but keep it up
If Eminem goes back to the way he was when he first started out no one on the planet can keep up with him
UK accent is just mad gay and sounds terrible
ur gay.
shut up dick
Just for the record im white and British and from London. Is it me, or does everybody has the ability to cause misery and rhyme skibadee with lyrically. Basic nonsense from harry shitter. Cant touch Eminem, never can, never will. Plus like people have said, rap god had a slow hook in between verses.
but that’s not a hit record and it doesn’t even have a hook so it’s logic that it has more words than rap god
I don’t know if Twista can spit his style for 6 minutes.. But I’m sure he’d destroy this record. Probably in 4 minutes or less. Or dude from Bone Thugz
Not a bad song, not bad rapping, but it has no hook, and it sounds a little like a team of people got together to just write something. Lacks it’s own style.
This information is false., DX could you make your job and control what you write? please????
He broke no record. The record was most words in a HIT song. This is no hit, its just a song. It also has no chorus, and Rap God does. Eminems the best.
Sounds great indeed, really good and nice pronunciation as well!
Em did have an intro with a hook which lasted the first 38 seconds, and also hooks in between the verses and he was still able to rap 1,560 words.
Harry has a very short intro, about 12 seconds, also he has no hooks on the song.
Harry’s song is 6 mins and 23 seconds, but remember that there are no hooks, almost no intro and breaks.
Em’s rap god is 6 mins, and 19 seconds.
Still, this song is really good. I’m not a fan of the voice and the way he raps, cause I can’t really feel any emotions, but everything is clearly pronounced and I respect the hard work!!
Em u r the best
Damn this white boy is nice!!!!!!!!! Fuck the haters he spit more bars than Eminem on this shit. I’m gonna have to rap genius this shit.
Stupid stupid topic. Rap isn’t abt this bullshit. Its flows content style originality. Who cares abt speed
This guys not that good (average at best lyrically wise) but I think people like you just have beef with speed rap cause your brain can’t handle trying to break shit down at high speed, some of the most meaningful songs are speed rap but your missing out cause you’re sitting there like what did he say you’d rather listen to what the guccis and meeks of the world who have no actual content but you can understand the 6 words they use to make up an entire song so I guess that’s rap to you, to me or anyone that isn’t a complete moron that’s not music that’s brain drain BS, the best slow paced rap is story telling rap not your lame ass club music but you know whatever do you
just one word: irrelevant!
Eminem forever
He was the best he is the best and he willbe the best
First of all, the Guinness record was for the most words in a HIT single. And yes Em had a hook. Second, there’s a handful of rappers that have rapped more words in a song. (And here’s hiphopdx thinking they found the one guy that beat him lol). But all these rappers have seen the news that Eminem won a record for the most words in a… and they stopped reading the rest and just assumed they could beat him. You can’t. Nobody outside of your little area hears, knows, or cares about your music. Make a POPULAR song with more words than em, and you win. Oh I guess it’s not that easy. On a side note, this UK/British rapper…had an interesting song for a few minutes. Then it just got really boring. Is it just me that thinks people with that straight from England accent shouldn’t rap? “Harry Shotta” was probably one of the best ones i’ve heard, but even him…. it just sounds funny. The way they were taught to speak from day one holds back their ability imo… But hey…America has inspired them…Can’t tell a person his dream isn’t important too
You chat shit. We gave you language prick
Did anyone notice he had to rap very quick then there’s EM like half the rap god is chilled then super sonic speed
WTF is this?? Em had a chorus in rap god but this man just keeps spitting bullshit!! Fuck the world record. this song’s BULLSHIT!!!
Hahaha please give me a brake , WTF wanna battle ma man eminem for a world record ? Come on he’s a rap God remember , u just can’t beat him so back off!
boring generic conten-less… sorry man
Alot of haters but have any of you heard him spit bars over dnb he merks it evrytime he got more bars then holloway mans an animal on da mic!! Em still 1 of my favourite rappers on da planet from day dot I was 16 growing up to m m l.p and cn still lisen to it now never gets old..shotta isnt bigger or beta then em and he dnt claim to be his jus doin wat he duz best writing sick bars and tearin up da dance #TEAMDRUMZ
Lame, just because you have a fast flow dosent mean you kill anything, maybe in a decade he will master this craft, im a true hip hop head. I mean i was a b boy, did graffiti, i lived this. So im not impressed when somebody can say alot of words. He has no message, and thats how hip hop came to be what it is, without a message its just words over a track, england can keep the motor mouth
This song is just crap….Em had a lyrical chorus with many rhymes….but this England’s shit is messing with the song….jus made an attempt to make a world record…Bullshit!!
Thats unbelievable maahn.
This is so bullshit! I made me lost my trust in rapping! where r the rhymes? fucking Britz
#Eminem Is the Best #illuminati
sorry bro this rap ain’t got the boost as the Rap God’s
This man is dying for a Guinness record. Is this a song?? Someone explain it to him. This guy just keeps on spitting bullshit.
Way better track than rap god. The whole trying to rap more words than eminem thing is lame af tho
Good idea to get noticed, next topic.
Eminem’s still the Rapgod
No hooks, no substance, his whole song is just him saying the same thing over and over. We get it, you think you’re hot, but your missing the word play, no story to follow…… I could go on. Nice try tho
This guy is just saying words for the sake of getting more on his track. Eminem had hooks, double entendres galore, just face it, you have to be on another level to do what em did, lets see this guy do this again, but this time make a song, i mean hooks, lets get an intro, tell us anything other than how you are feelin youself.
Thumbs down, a mortal cant top a god. Case closed
What the f*ck!!….he is just shitting with his mouth …he cannot be compared with shady..!!
no hooks. eminem’s was 38 seconds long and you had nothing wow
plus you just spitting out words for example: shit i couldn’t hear you
He raps like his parents jerked him…He sounds like Eric Sermon The Generic version…Lol Shady’s Words match him 🙂
“The record has not been recognized by Guinness yet.” Um, the record is for a HIT SINGLE, which this is not so how did he beat him? I’m sure there are other songs that can get a higher word count but they won’t be a hit. Record isn’t broken, another idiotic article on hiphopdx…
Obviously lots of yanks on here loving Eminem, may not be a ‘hit’ but that’s because in the UK people want to listen to shit, honestly a live show with shotta on would kill an Eminem live show any day
Probably the STUPIDEST SHIT I EVER HEARD IN MY LIFEL don’t know who he’s Jawin bout but if it’s anyone other than the local boys choir, he’s lost his mind …. maybe someone in his “click” should tell him how stupid and terribly cliche it is for his British ass to even try.. and what the duck is up with you all and synthesizers ? Thought I was listeningto a tears for fears album being played back
Wards. Pop goes the weasel cuz the weasel goes pop…
Am I the only one that reads all these comments in a British accent? Been trippin me out too much
