LL Cool J’s foundation tossed him a rhyming gauntlet. Eminem responded with a relentless flow and even worked in a nod to Stans.
When a viral post claimed there is no English word that rhymes with “silver”, rap fans instantly knew who could shut that down: the man who has made “banana” rhyme with “orange”, Eminem.
Even LL Cool J’s foundation account joined in, throwing down the gauntlet: “Eminem, you have 24 hours!”

Marshall did not need anywhere near that long. He fired back with a rapid string of rhymes and even slipped in a shoutout to his Stans documentary:

He didn’t even have to try, though. Eminem already had “silver” locked down in the bridge of his track “Little Engine”:
My flow still a (Psycho) psycho killer (Killer)
(Nitro) Hi ho, Silver
Similes and idioms giddy up
Sometimes the answer to a challenge is hiding in plain sight… on your own album.
