Eminem has been added to the Guinness World Records, according to Billboard.
The Detroit, Michigan emcee earned a nod in the Guinness World Records with “Rap God.” The song features the most words in a hit single.
“Rap God,” which is six minutes, four seconds long, consists of 1,560 words, the report says.
The song has been celebrated by some, including Crooked I, who praised it for displaying Eminem’s prowess.
“It was crazy,” Crooked I said in an exclusive interview with HipHopDX. “It’s just always refreshing to hear a super mainstream artist with bars and skills because a lot of these mainstream dudes that’s rapping out there is wack as fuck. So, here’s somebody who has all the success and has achieved so much in the game and he still has bars to bar you out the game. It’s real refreshing. He basically took the art of double-time rapping and displayed the many different ways you can do that. There’s different cadences you can use when you’re double-timing. He just displayed almost all of them on one song.”
Others have been critical of the song. Boy George said it was insensitive toward people who are gay. Eminem responded to some criticism about the song’s use of gay slurs.
“I don’t know how to say this without saying it how I’ve said it a million times,” Eminem said in an interview with Rolling Stone. “But that word, those kind of words, when I came up battle-rappin’ or whatever, I never really equated those words [to mean homosexual]…It was more like calling someone a bitch or a punk or asshole. So that word was just thrown around so freely back then. It goes back to that battle, back and forth in my head, of wanting to feel free to say what I want to say, and then [worrying about] what may or may not affect people.
“Not saying it’s wrong or it’s right, but at this point in my career – man, I say so much shit that’s tongue-in-cheek,” Eminem added at the time. “I poke fun at other people, myself. But the real me sitting here right now talking to you has no issues with gay, straight, transgender, at all. I’m glad we live in a time where it’s really starting to feel like people can live their lives and express themselves. And I don’t know how else to say this, I still look at myself the same way that I did when I was battling and broke.”
Others, including Casual, have made responses about the song and Em’s claim to godliness.

Eminem is a true emcee.
“most words in a hit single”? Seriously? They just made up that bullshit to put eminem in the book.
GOAT
This partiality from a White-owned commercial business toward a white rap artist only discredits the name and depreciates the value of Guiness Book of World Records and Eminem. It’s another ploy to make us pay attention to their position than the partiality they’re showing us.
Stans gonna label you racist, you’re not allowed to talk about Eminem like that! They buy all the music, have the greatest rapper of all time, and rule the world so know your place!
I’ve always liked the song but this is straight up ball-cupping.
Are we just going to act like Canibus’ “1000 Bars” wasn’t 53 minutes long Guiness World Records? Fuck outta here.
“hit single”
“hit single”=”another ploy to make us pay attention to their position than the partiality they’re showing us”
media got y’all looking like robotic imbeciles
Greatest to ever do it. Jay know it, Ye know it..errr body know it.
I know you need that validation in your life, but not only would I think that rappers would congratulate Eminem
the Eminem I listen to hates things like this and losers like you who constantly try to separate this culture that he loves
who cares? bow wow and lil romeo made guiness book of records
Soulja Boy too
Any Eminem stans whose looking at this like another successful exploitation on black people should account also to look at it like another wrath from God for them to receive.
ahh dont be mad bc your race to broke to support your favorite artist
eminem is rap god.. get over it
you’re doing nothing but proving him right no matter what you try to type
idgaf lmao.. what makes you think i care

now killyourself and kneel before the rap god.
YOU’RE DOING NOTHING BUT PROVING HIM RIGHT NO MATTER WHAT YOU TYPE YA MORON

damn right! now go on continueing to burn your cds your broke bastard while your favorite rapper is still broke compared to the rap god
At best, the most white people will ever be is the largest consumer of a product they didn’t create it. That product being Hip Hop.
You white people will abide in everything except God to be happy.
we abide in RAP GOD..the god of emcees.
you killing them see
they ain’t worthy of the jewelry and the die is already cast these last moments are about snagging up the few remaining lost
@cbt– and obv you spend your days worried about what white people do and like..lol sad you posted 5-6 different articles
yes white people love eminem..and? you say it likes its a diss get over it, get some money then and support your favorites. stop worrying about what white people like.
A bad look for Guinness, they’re supposed to certify the one song with the most words period, hit or no hit. Defeats the purpose of it being a world record by giving it such a finite description.
Next it’ll be the world record for the tallest person in Europe. And this generation will except that too, just because Guinness said so.
What you said is true but, there was a rapper named Twista in the books as well, but the song he was in wasnt a hit.
That was fastest rap. Not hot fastest rap in a hit single. this thing was just invented.
black people cant stand the RAP GOD is number 1 in the world, can outrap any of your black artists on a dialy basis and it eats your souls up.. even your black artists eminem is a wizard in rap.. you cant touch the rap god
yup white people buy his albums bc he is a almighty rap god and youre too broke to support your favorite ones. HAHa
RAP GOD
fuck white or blacks that dont believe on rap God 🙂
they get so mad lmao. black people care more about what white people support then their own.
@rap god..thats a fact too..
black artists admit**
God is real motherfuckers 🙂 Rap God for Life 🙂 Eminem….
My racial classification puts me in the 12% population pool, HipHop is the primary music I support and the racial demographics within HipHop is about 90% of my racial classification. I try desperately to support as many of my brothers and sisters in HipHop as I can especially Mid-West artists and indie artists in general. Its funny how many smug white consumers think that we dont support our artists just because Eminem sells millions to his millions of white fans and Common sells much less. Trust and believe that of we were the majority population and only had a few artists to support from our own you would see a big difference in numbers.
Commons album has been out since end of july thats 2.5 months
and it has sold 37,581 total albums LOL
theres more black people in my tri area ALONE let alone the entire state/coast/country..
try again.
OP has a great point the reply refused to debate but instead pointed fingers.
The love for the culture says you support good music regardless who’s making it. Eminem mentions Pharoahe Monch on Rap God and another interview but according to the reply, they expect just the Blacks to buy him, instead of Em’s fans looking to buy some other good rap music. Monch’s sales are minimal.
Em’s DJ is Alchemist, Alchemist has been cooking some great music for various artists like Action Bronson, Prodigy, Willie Da Kid, but Bronsolini can’t get any love from the Em fans and he’s far from wack AND white. Do you know who Willy is?
Can you leave the race alone and address this music conversation?
i got a simple reason for that action v eminem
eminem is alot better emcee and deserving of that..i like bronson i think hes dope id buy his album if it dropped and it was any good.. but eminem is deserving of the titles he gets.
everyone always mad eminem has LOYAL fans who purchase his msic..i love eminem too but i ddint buy either of his last 2 albums bc i didnt like them.
there isnt really a debate people like what they like, and hiphop is the only genre of music where people get shitted on for supporting their long time favorites by the other race..
youll never hear whites be like only ghetto blacks support cheif keef or w.e crap you guys listen to now adays..worry about yourselves..obv white people do that.
”white people,unfair, hurr durr”
-random nigga or self hating cac
this shit is just getting repetitive…
same thing Blacks say about police brutality across the nation and a majority old white male congress doing absolutely nothing for 6 1/2 years
“it’s getting repetitive, looking like the 1960s again, durr hurr”
wanna reset the conversation? it’s blatant how Guinness overlooked any song created just to uphold ‘hit’ for this certification. what say you about that?
more of the same comments..white people this what people that
if you spent as much time supporting your own artists with dollars like eminems fans rap wouldnt be where it is today for you guys.
i got extra cash so i support good projects..gunits new EP, kendricks last album, still to this day buy older eminem, tupac shit.. i buy other types of music too but since this is HHDX ill keep it rap so people can relate
moral of my story. worry about what you listen to and buy what you do like instead of bootleggin git and maybe your favorite artists will get that shit eminem does.
his fans are the most loyal bar none.
Nobody’s jealous of the Stans, just like we’re not jealous of the Juggalos.
Difference between us is we’re not looking for Bronson to top Eminem. If Bronson drops a hot project we embrace it, it’s music and enough room for many. We can listen to Paul Wall w/o comparing him to Eminem. We can listen to Biggie, JayZ, Nas, Eminem, Jeezy w/o having to state who’s the greatest. We can read Jay Z news without mentioning Eminem.
Many of us have COLLECTIONS of music by MANY RAPPERS that include Eminem. But your two comments say y’all have a comparison AND superiority complex.
“youll never hear whites be like only ghetto blacks support cheif keef or w.e crap you guys listen to now adays..worry about yourselves..obv white people do that”
^ this was when you played yourself
even YOU are here enough to not only see y’all say that about a Chief Keef (YOU COULDN’T NAME WILLIE DA KID, AUDIO PUSH, VIC MENSA YOU WEN’T FOR KEEF, A HAS BEEN) or how dumb black rappers are, Y’ALL ARE HERE EVERY SINGLE DAY ON EVERY TOPIC WORRYING ABOUT OUR MUSIC, OUR RAPPERS, OUR SINGERS, OUR COMMUNITIES, OUR CLOTHES, OUR CURRENT EVENTS, OUR AWARDS, OUR BUSINESS VENTURES, OUR HEADLINES, OUR INTERVIEWS.
Eminem has his own site, y’all can subscribe to his breaking news w/o being HERE dealing with us “poor miserable Black people”.
Thanks for the reply. And work on the covert talk, it comes out when you try to exert your “honest opinion”.
LOL
@anon- i can careless about how you dress, awwards, communities, ventures or headlines
i come on here for ‘your’ singers and rappers that I LIKE.. i dont go on random artists pages (like black people who hate eminem) just to spew off hate.
and i would go to eminem.com if he promoted other rappers i like as well..but he doesnt.
and ill go to any website i want..i dont need your approval on that lol free country.
while your at it, try some reading lessons.. i ddint spew off any hate.. i was talking to the haters who come on eminems pages just to say some dumb shit..you construed it as hate for whatever reason even though i listed a few black rappers i like as well loll
pick and choose
Pick & choose…………
-you can see the hate on every other article but only wish to address the “eminem haters’ racism”
-you read the white remarks about blacks but you only disagree with the black replies
-you choose to reply to jealous haters, what I posted about GUINNESS is ignored
You and I were just talking about Bobby Shmurda days ago. I was the one telling you about how it’s easy for the cops to see in someone’s window in Brooklyn.
That’s my old hood, why I was there. Why were YOU there? He’s not great like Eminem, you don’t listen to his music, You’re not from our part of town.
Funny how I could read then but you PICK & CHOSE THIS ARTICLE to say I’m all of a sudden ignorant.
“imho:
got to be more to the story..since when do you get your house searched bc someone said you were showing off your weapon..unless a cop seen it personally.
d tach:
^ what y’all don’t understand is that in NYC they have uniform police on foot, undercovers around the benches & informants copping, so to see shorty in a window is not far fetched.
imho:
that would make sense then..need to invest in some blinds or something lol dumbass”
Posted7 days ago
^ lemme guess, that was another imho?
You gonna say you weren’t there to hate? Well GUESS WHAT, I’n not here to hate. I enjoy SOME of Eminem’s music and grow tired of the white talk every article.
Many of HIS FANS ruin it, NOT the “haters”.
bc idc to say nothing to the haters on other rappers things. white people and black people both say dumb shit online on the keyboards. ive said shit to white people plenty on here but then you realize your fighting a losing game so i stopped that a whillllle ago. just bc u didnt see it doesnt mean it didnt happen
and yeah we did have that shmurda convo and when you mentioned your side of it i said oh yeah thats true and agreed with you. and that song schmurda has out now is hot i like it.. imight not like anything else he drops i mean i havnt heard much but i do like that song
my point is this. i made a comment to people about an artist i grew up listening to daily.. ive defended on comments of people talking shit about tupac like i have eminem..when i listen 2 music color has no plce in my mind. the only time color gets up is when white people call keef racist shit and black people call eminem racist shit. it comes from both sides..
if you take ignorace out of the internet its a losing game.
glad you found that bc how did i reply?
i said makes sense.. i agreed and kept it moving
What about my man Rick Ross, though? He just ate 1,560 lemon pepper wings in six minutes and four seconds. That’s more impressive than White America’s hero shouting a bunch of words in that amount of time.
that was epic
true ….mabey them hot peppers will eat a whole in his stomach and kill him, then the flies will lay there eggs, hatch and eat his ass alive in a 5 star hotel
Leave it to Eminem to break a world record for most words in a hit single!
Man can we just look beyond this and accept that Eminem did his thing as a rapper and came out the underground because of his good rapping skills? Come on its 2014 and people still give him hate? but people never gave hate to TUPAC, BIGGIE, NAS, ICE CUBE, NWA, but when the white rapper comes out showing some badass skills we show hate? Nah thats not real hip hop, YOU know Eminem can rap REALLY GOOD but we still dont acknowledge it, when he came up people said he sounded like AZ and NAS which was a very good comment. YOU also know you be listening to WACK rappers that have been getting FAMOUS for bullshit as MUSIC, because they make music for the CLUB? you never listen TUPAC, EMINEM, NAS, RAKIM, REDMAN, METHOD MAN, KRS ONE, ETC in the club, because they focus on lyrics but you can put a nice HOOK and good sound and you get a CLUB song. So lets stop the hate man he is really good let’s accept it, as we once accepted that TUPAC was BETTER than BIGGIE and VICE VERSA.
Peace to the REAL HIP HOP HEADS that listen to EM without hating and appreciate the bars and scream “OHHHH SHIT!!!” you heard that line?!? NOW a days you cant do that with some rappers, because lyrics are so simple. PEACE
True, True…. 🙂
They tagged that “hit single” part on because they knew there were black rappers who had more words used in their songs. So instead of “most words used in a song/single” they put “hit single” to exclude everyone else but the white boy. It’s also interesting how this category didn’t exist before this song came out. What bullshit.
but there’s already a black rapper in that book, Twista. and he’s been on that book long before Eminem.
Got anything else you want to bitch about?
lol twista hasn’t been in there for years some dude ive never heard of owns that record now, your smart 🙂
im not defending this other retard either though, eminem deserves a spot in there, if you disagree you are either stupid and like all this garbage rap or your a racist motherfucker
wahh wahhh wahhhhhhh
They couldn’t do just song because they haven’t heard every single song in the world. They also had to put some kind of label on it so that someone doesn’t just make a 50 minute long song with 200,000 word in it.
The guiness book record for fastest rap is a black guy, cant remember his name something xl not chino xl. But he raps so fast u have no idea what hes saying
Its rebel xd
JUST ANOTHER PUBLICITY STUNT. WHAT CONSTITUTES A “HIT SONG”??? #7?? MOST WORDS? MEANINGLESS PROMO COOKED UP BY HIS AGENCY
exactly
This Article is to tell bitches like you, that Eminem has been added to the Guiness Book Of World Records, Not to Argue if the song was hit or not.
Need to be a hit song, (at least a charted song) because you can make a 3-4 hour song with 50.000+words and will be irrelevant to be a “record song” if don’t entry in music chart.
why dont you try to rap that song then??????
I make up to USD90 an hour working from my home. My story is that I quit working at Walmart to work online and with a little effort I easily bring in around USD40h to USD86h Someone was good to me by sharing this link with me, so now i am hoping i could help someone else out there by sharing this link…
Try it, you won’t regret it!…

So…..you use gay slurs because it doesn’t mean the same thing to you as it does to the people it offends, because you grew in a culture that condoned it……..so if the N-word isn’t viewed as offensive to some red-neck, one that says he isn’t racist, but sees the word as just another insult and was raised in a culture that condoned it, he should say it in his nationally distributed record too?
Seriously. Im totally down for free speech, but that was the dumbest fucking explanation he could’ve mustered. Really fucking dumb.
So telling his true reasoning is dumb? Should he of made up a fake apology or fake reason?
hello,
these rappers are commercial, they don’t get paid to speak truth to power.
you piece of shits listen to his shit and now want a fucking explanation
love it or leave it motherfuckers
and yo EMINEM holds the record for the most words in a hit single so fuck a dick u faggots can suck on that
get over ur cryin
When renegade dropped no one ever said Em bodied Jigga. But as soon as Nas put that line in the song Ether (“Eminem murdered you on your own shit”) niggas took that shit and ran with it. To keep it 100, Eminem Bodied Biggie on the “Dead Wrong” song. but nobody ever brings that shit up. Jay was a 8.5/10 and Em was a 9.0/10 on Renegade. That’s not a bodybag.
Cool story bro
Puff got Em to record that verse after Big died, you can’t body someone if they are dead, dumbass.
Been saying it since the beginning. I was only like 13 or 14 when that song came out but I had a conversation with my older relatives and we all agreed that we only listened to the song because of Em’s verses because we thought Jay-Z did only ok. So when we heard Either, we reacted to it like “See… Nas knows too”. Also, I always felt like the song was a bit off. Like Jay-Z was just thrown on the song. I come to find out years later that that was actually true. The original Renegade song was actually Eminem and Royce Da 5’9. They simply just took Royce’s verses off and Jay filled in the gaps. So yeah, its been since the beginning. But social media wasn’t what it is today. So even if someone did say it, you probably didn’t see it because it was most likely in some Yahoo or AOL messenger. Lol
yep true
I don’t know how to make songs like that
I don’t know what words to use
Let me know when it occurs to you
While I’m ripping any one of these verses that versus you
It’s curtains, I’m inadvertently hurtin’ you
How many verses I gotta murder to
Prove that if you were half as nice,
your songs you could sacrifice virgins to
eminem iz irrelevant for niggaz in da hood.
who cares about yall though..thats why noones asking your opinions
99.9 percent of black people live in the hood what should he do!how can he reach you ….mabey with a 20 dollar bill for some crack?…get over it hes the best your just hatin well rap is one thing you nigs wont take over as long as hes alive. you can have golf,tennis,basketball, football, but we own you in your most favored passion hell kid rock can smash ur best bitches keep hatin its fuel for the fire!!!!
eminem sucks! fuck dat crackka!
why do homo’s think people give a fuck bout them when they say the faggot word? Styles P has a song called Kill That Faggot and it has nothing to do with dick suckers
