It’s not often that Eminem is dethroned, but a rapper out of Swineshead, England is hoping to do just that with the release of a new single.
The 27-year-old rapper, named Luke “HYBRiD” Settle, is looking to beat the record for the song with the most lyrics in it. That record is currently held by Eminem’s 2013 track “Rap God,” which features a staggering 1,560 words, and lasts six minutes and four seconds. Those numbers put “Rap God” at 4.28 words per second.
Another U.K. rapper, Harry Shotta, put out a song in 2015 with 1,771 words over the course of six minutes and 23 seconds, but Guinness still recognizes Em as the record-holder, which is for Most Words In a Hit Single. (“Hit” being the operative word there, since Em’s track debuted at #7 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and well, Shotta’s didn’t).
“Untouchable,” the record HYBRiD plans to record, will last approximately six minutes and will pack in 1,700 words (which, notably, is still fewer than Shotta’s).
“As it stands there are 1,700 lyrics in my song ‘Untouchable’ which should have a run time of six minutes which equals 4.7 words a second,” HYBRiD said while speaking with Spalding Today. “Obviously this could change during the recording process and that could mean that I increase the amount of words rapped per second to even five or more.”
Earlier in the month, HYBRiD shared about a minute’s worth of audio from “Untouchable” via Twitter.
“I’m looking forward to #recording more of this #track over the #weekend With an estimated 1,700 #lyrics to #record I’ll be very busy!,” he tweeted on July 14.
There is no word yet on when HYBRiD plans to release the final version of “Untouchable.”
VERY WACK! STICK TO MAKING TEA!
Remember what language your speaking dumb yank
American..the shit we speak is far from the Queens English
WSUP? yo dissing ICED-T MO FO? get down be real. ?stick 2 drnkn some alternative reality brother..

You really sound like an idiot with that response lol. Your war is with the article you pathetic Em stan. Leave me alone lol I’m calling it as it’s happening
1….fucking whiney baby, I’m actually pretty excited to see if he can do it. Huge Eminem fan too, pretty sad that you have to even make that comment Austantistic. Let’s see what he has in store.
this actually the wackest shit ive ever heard
Yo theres only one u.k mc doing it guys got the voice multi aylabbles and dont sound like he drinka tea actually brings fire to the table check out 2KOLDERZ guy is a fucking beast seriously dont sleep on this dude alot of ppl in the u.s actually rate this guy !!
His got over 45 tracks on youtube he just released a video with mc tabanacle called nightmares shits off the chain
Trust me the stuff he comes out with is shocking plus his rhyme play is on point his got flow and knows how to deliver unlike these one flowed monotoned rappers music is art thats why they call mc’s artists and 2kolderz definitely has skill he puts art into his craft seriously ppl dont hesitate his is defo the closest thing to eminem with out sounding like he stole the style
He also comes on hhdx pretending to be two different people to get people to listen to his music.
It shouldn’t count if the song’s ass.
This is unmeasurable but I agree with you 1000%.
Another guest in Hiphop ?
I’m from the UK and haven’t heard of this guy either
Whack as Fuck from lyrics to production
lol that’s absolutely terrible! Oh my god I can’t stop laughing what a joke. You could have 5,000 lyrics, it still sounds like crap
Terrible! Ha
You say “UK rapper” like anyone here has heard of him
Who the hell LIKES to listen to any UK-rapper out there? Every single British-like accent I’ve heard during my life, they only make lyrics sound horrible as words are pronounced the very wrong way to begin with. How the hell you’re supposed stand that and let the record keep playing? I mean, there are horrible areas in ‘Murica too, in which every people sound as retarded as the Brits do. Some of which are even worse, if that’s even possible.
WTF? nobodz evn hrd of you Karl ten a penny. n isz frm UK? dnt mean sh*t. Dont critze what you hanvt tasted. looks like this kidz pre-ordering now. Im buying a copy, I’ll can be the judge when I’ve hrd… his word. Know wht m syn?
This dude is babage Eminen is the Truth! They dont call him Rap God for nothing!!
HAhahahahaha!! fuckin garbage. Who’s this clown??? sit down please.
It may break the record and even be a hit but it won’t even be the best song called untouchable while Pusha T out here
Hip hop was built off of the struggle of black and Spanish in Bronx in the late 70 so how is emiem a rap God he came in when hip hop was failing if he would drop in early 90 when Wu drop or mid 90 with mobb deep Nas Snoop biggie and Jay outcast he never would of made it he not lyrical but white if he was black nobody would thought he was that good
I agree that Em is often elevated way to high in hip hop’s hierarchy, but to say he’s not lyrical, and only popular because he’s white makes you sound like a whiny bitch.
STFU
This article is ridiculous, how can someone like this even compare himself to Eminem, the song sounds horrible. Anyone can put 1700 words that rhyme on a shitty beat and call it a song! Again, I’m from the UK and never heard of this guy, there are some good UK artists out there worth checking though, Si Phili and Verbal Skillz being a couple of them.
Bruh even if he beats Em and gets the world record you already know em will make a single and go above and beyond rap god. He didn’t go his fastest on rap god you can just feel it. But let’s see this UK chump try and smash him. He might have the record for maybe a day or two.

CANT EVEN GET INTO IT SOUND IS SO BAD!!! please learn recording engineering fuckin please and take a $100 an buy a PREAMP, the record is a BULLSHIT RECORD this guy couldnt even come half way close to selling what EM has sold!!! if the record is most words in a sec and over 1700 words i hope twista or tech 9 doesnt hear about this!!!! cuz if they do this dude is soo soo soooo FUCKED!!!! and if hes really trying to set records then i would call the HEAVY WEIGHT WORLDS GREATEST CHAMPION,… NEVER BEEN BEATEN NEVER BACKED DOWN, AND NOONES EVER BEEN BETTER AND THAT IS MR.
