Eminem has reportedly set a new Guinness World Record for having the most words in a hit song.
According to Billboard, the record was clinched by “Rap God,” Eminem’s rapid-fire hit which is said to have a whopping 1,560 words squeezed into just over 6 minutes.
One verse of the song in particular, starting at the 4:25 mark in the video, has left fans dumbstruck with its tongue-tying speed.
