About this song
The song landed Eminem a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for the most words in a hit single, with 1,560 words packed into its six-minute runtime. In 2015, Harry Shotta's track "Animal" broke that record with 1,771 words. In a Rolling Stone Q&A, Eminem said the record is largely tongue in cheek.
What it's about
The song is a boastful tribute to Eminem himself and his career, full of comic book references, nods to his older songs, and very fast rapping.
