Dr Dre shares astonishing video of Eminem’s skill and suggests no rapper could take him on Dr Dre took to Instagram to share the clip, captioning the recording: “Marshall Mathers vs Who???!!” The recording shows Eminem rapping the lyrics from his hit-single ‘Godzilla’ which first appeared in the ‘Music to Be Murdered By’ album.
And not just rapping, but rapping at lightning-fast speed, spitting an eye-widening amount out in under 30 seconds. Standing in front of some retro arcade games, he raps: “Fill ’em with the venom, and eliminate ’em. Other words, I Minute Maid ’em. I don’t want to hurt ’em, but I did ’em in a fit of rage.
“I’m murdering again, nobody will evade him. I’m finna kill ’em and dump all the f***ing bodies in a lake. Obliterating everything, incinerating and renegade ’em. “And I make anybody who want it with the pen afraid. But don’t nobody want it but they’re gonna get it anyway. ‘Cause I’m beginning to feel like I’m mentally ill. I’m Atilla, kill or be killed, I’m a killer, be the vanilla gorilla. You’re bringing the killer within me, out of me.”

And breathe.
He goes on, waggling his finger to the camera: “You don’t want to be the enemy of the demon. Who went in me, and be on the receiving of me, what stupidity, it’d be.
“Every bit of me is the epitome of a spitter. When I’m in the vicinity, motherf***er, you better duck. Or you finna be dead the minute you run into me.
“A hundred percent of you is a fifth of a percent of me. I’m ’bout to f***ing finish you b****, I’m unfadable. You wanna battle, I’m available, I’m blowing up like an inflatable. I’m undebatable, I’m unavoidable, I’m unevadable.”
So quick is Eminem that even fellow rapper and music producer Dr Dre is left questioning if there’s anyone else on this planet who could rival him.

Thankfully for Dr Dre, he doesn’t have to go up against Eminem, but works alongside him, the duo having paired up frequently since Dre signed the ‘Lose Yourself’ star to his record label, Aftermath Records, back in 1998.
Of course, the video got fans and producers alike just as fired up.
Dre’s short clip racked up millions of views, with thousands eager to share their reaction to the video.
One Instagram user praised: “Dre! Thank you so much for giving us Em!”
“You discovered him, and thanks for doing so,” echoed a second.
“We’re all gonna have an aneurysm trying to process this speed,” another joked.
A fourth wrote that the ‘Mockingbird’ rapper ‘can never be touched’, while a fifth dubbed him a ‘legend’.
“He is the man,” wrote a final Instagram user.

Eminem says 50 Cent is ‘one of the best friends he’s ever known’
In a rare emotional message, Eminem has described fellow rapper 50 Cent as ‘one of the best friend’s he’s ever known’
It’s not new information that Eminem and 50 Cent are long-time pals, and Eminem made it clear over the weekend that their friendship is still going strong after 20 years.
The two rappers were first connected way back in the 00s and, rather than be at war with one another like most rappers have done historically, the pair became pals and have since gone on to feature on several of each other’s songs.
From ‘Crack A Bottle’, ‘You Don’t Know’, and ‘Patiently Waiting’, the two of them have released some hit tracks together.
50 Cent, real name Curtis Jackson, is currently on his the Final Lap tour which was created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his blockbuster album Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
The rapper’s show on Saturday was at Pine Knob Music Theater, located just north of Detroit, and fans were delighted when Eminem graced the stage alongside his pal to perform their 2009 song ‘Crack A Bottle’.
Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers, was born in Saint Joseph, Missouri, but relocated to Detroit with his family at the age of 11.
“Don’t f**king act like you ain’t know I was gonna be here,” Eminem told the audience.
“Detroit, make some noise for one of the best friends I’ve ever known: 50 Cent. And also, make some noise for hip-hop’s 50th birthday, y’all.”
DJ Kool Herc is credited for starting the Hip Hop trend back in August 1973.
Eminem then proceeded to declare his love for Detroit before he and 50 Cent had a quick embrace. The 50-year-old then exited the stage.

In an interview with XXL Magazine earlier this year, 50 Cent, 48, also shared the love as he said that Eminem has ‘his best interest at heart’.
Reflecting on his career, the ‘Candy Shop’ rapper said: “What helped me not [to] have a big head at any point was I had Eminem around.
“So when I’m doing 13 million records on my first album, I have the Marshall Mathers LP to look at that’s doing 23 million records.”

50 Cent went on: “Em, I put him next to my grandmother, and I’ma tell you why. He was always a place where I could go and just talk to him, and know that he has my best interest at heart.”
Fiddy added that he’d often get Eminem’s approval on his songs and that if he didn’t think his friend liked it, he’d ‘scrap the record’.
