Rap God was released by Eminem in 2013 on The Marshall Mathers LP 2 and quickly became famous for its dizzying third verse, which packs an extraordinary number of syllables into a few seconds. Live versions took on a second life online because fans wanted to hear whether he could reproduce that speed without studio help. Clips of those performances circulate in reaction videos, rap compilations and speed challenges, keeping the track a benchmark for technical rapping more than a decade later.
