Eminem Takes on Rapping Challenge After Being Told Nothing Rhymes With ‘Silver’

Eminem is never one to back down from a rap challenge, and after being called out by LL Cool J’s Rock The Bells platform on X, Slim Shady delivered.

Rock The Bells sent over a message claiming that nothing in the English dictionary rhymes with “silver,” and Em responded with a verse starting with just that word, and continued to put together a freestyled verse.

The effortless bars included plenty of random name-drops, ranging from comic Bill Burr to Super Bowl-winning quarterback Trent Dilfer and a reference to his Stans documentary.

“Silver pilfer kill fer Gilbert’s still hurts steel shirts Bill Burr milf word off kilter no filter chill brrrr feel burn still slur will stir Trent dilfer Val kilmer Still third shield her he’ll squirt Steven Spielberg Lil twerp Wilshire She’ll purr Kill birds milk curd feel worth Real nerd Stans documentary I liked your film sir,” he wrote to X.

Fans were impressed with Em’s dexterity. “My goat can make anything rhyme,” one person replied, while another said, “Bro’s a walking dictionary.”

Slim Shady is still keeping his mind and pen sharp these days. He reunited with JID for “Animals, Pt. 1” in July as part of the Atlanta rapper’s GDLU preluxe. Eminem also released his Stans documentary, which hit theaters over the weekend. Earlier in August, he popped out at the NYC premiere of the doc to speak to fans.

“Let me tell you why this s–t is crazy to me,” he said in a video of his remarks posted by Shady Media. “Because, when I was writing the song ‘Stan,’ I think I was just understanding the impact that my music was having on some people. And it’s so crazy to me to look at, over my career, just the fact that I was able to impact people.”
