Infinite

About this song

The Hip-Hop Shop in Detroit, where local emcees gathered, is where Eminem first tried out verses that became this song. He later finished the verses for an open mic and then turned them into the track, with D-12's Denaun (aka Kon Artis) producing the original beat. Eminem has called it the best song on the album, and the song was re-released digitally on November 17, 2016.

What it's about

The title draws on scientific ideas of infinity, the notion of having no limits or boundaries in time, space, extent or magnitude. The song is built around an intricate rhyme scheme and shows off Eminem's skill with words.
