Released in November 2013, Eminem’s 80s-style animated “Rap God” video was heavily instrumental in his Marshall Mathers LP 2 album achieve multi-platinum status.
Now the popular visual has hit an exclusive milestone on YouTube: a billion views.
Eminem recently set up a special website www.rapgod.eminem.com armed with a timer to countdown the precious plays. After the Rich Lee-directed video hit its target, a special message — “‘Rap God’ hit 1 billion views. Thank you” — appeared with instructions on how to relive the zany clip, which parodies 80s character Max Headroom.
Remarkably enough, “Rap God” marks Eminem’s third video with over a billion YouTube views. As of press time, 2010’s “Not Afraid” is sitting at 1.3 billion views and his Rihanna-featured “Love the Way You Lie” probably needs its own website as it’s just 100,000 views shy of hitting two billion.
Wiz Khalifa’s “See You Again” is the only other rap song in the billion YouTube views club with 4.4 billion.
It’s been a stellar year for Slim Shady already, having released his eleventh studio album, Music to Be Murdered By, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, giving him the record of most consecutive No. 1 albums with 10.

Oh shit! The weirdo racists are about to chime in on how wrong this is…
Back away from the ledge.. and put away the race card… it’s just music.. it’s hip hop vs wigga hop.. all opinions are subjective.. the debate never ends.. there’s truly no right or wrong.. only individual positions on issues, music and artists.. face to face one mans right is the next mans left..
Dude said race card, then used the word wigga. Very intelligent. Hahahaha. Stop trying to justify your bullshit, dummy. Hold that giant L. Your life probably reflects it. The ignorant unwillingness to accept loss. Your left is off of a cliff.
Keep it up.. I love it…
CERTIFIED TRASH…
Your mother stinking pussy is trash
Yes, you are. Racist weirdo.
So are you calling yourself “Oscar the Grouch”
I’m not angry.. just expressing my opinion.. #2020ISTHEDEATHOFWIGGAHOP
Kaz can’t stop getting them L’s. I’d be mad too if I kept reading all of these Eminem articles as a racist black dude hahaha
that’s a sh!t ton of views and listens of a song by an artist that no one supposedly listens to, LMAO. I wonder what Lord Jamar is gonna say about this on Vlad’s couch next week.
Whatever Hip Hop Legend Lord Jamar of Brand Nubian says will be true, well spoken and informative..Em is a fraud.. a cancer within hip hop.. forever known from this point as wigga hop.. love it or hate it.. it is what it is…
Does Lord Jamar really have a cult of followers like this idiot?
He must have loved being on the video as he got to wear a wig to cover his balding head like that.
As a black man I hate admit these things but Eminem is the best to ever do it. I would never tell that to my homeboys but yeah it’s true. You got me guys!
Let’s not overreact! He can play well with words, I must admit, but as another black man, there’s many rappers better than Eminem!
Lol y’all trying to take my opinion away?? Why?? I won’t play the race card.. but is it because I’m black, independent minded and that I refused to sellout and follow the herd.. We can started an entire genre of hip hop in which Em can rule.. I think it fits him perfectly.. it’s called “ wigga hop” .. and by the way.. there are great rappers who are white: MGK, EL GANT, MC SEARCH,J57, just to name a few.. as for Em.. he ain’t on that list.. ( I just tell it like it is) .. IM THE REAL KAZ.. black man and rap fan… it is what it is.. always was .. always will be.. shouts out to Jaz O.. the originator and his protege Jay Z .. GOD MCS.. living legends..

Oh yeah.. I’m about as white as Black Thought..
Track is stupid
i’ve never ever listened to this song. i think it tells you a lot.
You literally named yourself Eminem is overrated. I think that tells us more. And if you don’t get the sublimal there, that explains a lot. Study your hip hop. #YouGonLearn.
i know more hip hop than you’d ever know lol. i bet g rap ain’t even in your top 5
Kaz is about to get doxed. Spoiler alert, it’s a lonely white guy who has no friends.
Suck a dick with your dox threats. That isn’t cool man. Dox me, I fucking dare you. Generally speaking, those who threaten it, don’t have any knowledge when it comes to obtaining personal information. Go ahead, post my IP. Try it! I’m not Kaz btw, just hate people who make nasty threats like that.
Here it is… Kaz is actually Nick Cannon. LOL. Doxed.
Oh I’m white alright.. I’m as white as Black Thought.. I’m as pale as Akon..
In other news, Gangnam Style has 3.5B views.
This is article is BS. Drake’s Hotline Bling is over 1 billion views as well. Just goes to show that these sites don’t report what’s actually happening
I guess the argument COULD be that Hotline Bling isn’t a rap song.
This website loves Drake what the hell you talking about?
Hotline bling you mean that chacha remix that he stole mf does nothing but steal music from people
Wow, one billion. That’s about as often Lord Jamar has been bitter on Vlad’s couch.
When whitenpeople come to rap it’s about sales not skills
Its Funny how niggas get mad af with this,Lol!!!!!!
Lmfao yall are so wrong abd so ignorant you guys let drake the fake into the hiphop house he doesn’t wrote his own music hes not a lyricist hes a entertainer but of course yalls counter argument is hes the top selling artist
Godzilla is better.
Here it is… Kaz is actually Nick Cannon. There you go. Doxed. LOL
Oh I’m Nick Cannon huh??? Lol .. that’s funny
Put Your Eyes Where My Eyes Can See is the most iconic video in Hip Hop history, in my humble opinion.
Its one thing to hear nobodies on the net say your trash. In hip-hop, the MC list that openly calls out Eminem trash is a tiny hand full. That’s the truth. He will ruin your career. Thats tough! He is too dope with it. Fkin hate him, whatever, but listen and catch all the bars this mofo throws at you. If you dont catch his wordplay, dont bother playing football either. For that level of genius in the way he thinks/writes/engineers his flow, its a railgun facial to the hater and nirvana to the fan.
Em looking like Albert Wesker, the virus to take over another’s culture.
Hahahahaha. I love idiots that think Hip-Hop is somehow black culture not Americana. So what is drake? LOL. Slick Rick and MF Doom are British! The first Hip-Hop artist ever was DJ Kool Herc. He was a DJ!! Where did that come from? LOL. Moron.
Lmao, I’m actually talking about Pop culture since you forgot to ask. Em isn’t Hip-Hop anymore, his music has fell off due to him trying to become the next Pop rapper. That’s my opinion. Ask before you assume I was talking about Hip-Hop… idiot.

It’s simple.. white people love Em.. Conway said “ most em’s fans are nerd white guys who butt chug bud lite and eat boogers off the walls of porta potty’s “ and he’s right.. I love the rankings and ravings of drug addicts.. it means nothing to me.. I coined the phrase “ wigga hop” .. it’s a genre of rap for lame dickless omega cuck fans of em.. like those that pay to watch black men fuck their girlfriends.. sick bastards.. #2020ISTGEDEATHOFWIGGAHOP
KAZ…..I’m not white, black, or Latino, or Asian and I can say your ego is pumped up on estrogen and your opinion is about as daddy-less pussy at heart black guy ive ever heard. You definitely got jumped by some white kids and got real hurt literally and mentally from it. Read you like a book!
hi
The old tale of the bs and the 1 billion flies.
hi
hi
I love watching black ppl get mad when eminem breaks more records
