The smash hit from 2006, “Smack That”, just crossed 1.4 billion views on YouTube, making it the fifth Eminem video to hit this milestone. But at the rate it is going, it might not stay in fifth place for long.
With nearly 600,000 new views rolling in daily, “Smack That” is one of Eminem’s most consistently streamed videos, trailing only “Without Me” (820,000 daily views) and Mockingbird (680,000). Meanwhile, “Rap God”, which sits ahead for now, is pulling in about half as many daily views — meaning “Smack That” could soon move up the ranks.
Released in 2006, the track was an instant hit, thanks to its infectious hook, club-ready beat, and a guest verse from Eminem that fans still go back to today. Nearly two decades later, the video’s continued rise shows that some collaborations never lose their shine.
