Lil B had I’m God, then Yeezy had I Am A God, now Eminem jumps on the deity tip with Rap God. It’s less contrived than Beserk’s attempt to take it back to real hip hop, with Slim sharpening his tongue with his most impressive brandishing of rap skills in years. The machine gun, Busta-style, flow is ridiculous, the throwback to homophobia/misogony is a bit boring, and the hook doesn’t quite hit the spot, but Em’s tenacity and the booming production are a promising sign for what’s to come from MMLP2.
