Eminem 'Rap God' VIDEO & LYRICS From New Album 2013 'Marshall Mathers LP 2,' Mentions Fabolous & Ray J Feud
On his new song, Eminem deems himself a Rap God.
"I'm beginning to feel like a rap God, rap God. All my people from the front to the back nod, back nod. Now who thinks their arms are long enough to slap box, slap box? They said I rap like a robot, so call me a rapbot," Eminem raps.
The 40-year-old also pokes fun at the feud between Fabolous and Ray J.
In 2011, Fabolous dissed the latter for performing his ballad One Wish for Floyd Mayweather in the boxer's home. In retaliation, Ray J threatened the rapper.

"Like when Fabolous made Ray J mad cause Fab said he looked like a f-- at Mayweather's pad singing to a man while they played piano," Eminem says in Rap God. "Man, oh man, that was a 24/7 special on the cable channel. So Ray J went straight to the radio station the very next day, "Hey Fab. I'mma kill you."
The upbeat rap song will appear on Eminem's upcoming album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2. Eminem enlisted Kendrick Lamar, Skylar Grey and Fun's Nate Ruess to collaborate on the record. He's also working with Rihanna for the fourth time. The two previously collaborated on his 2010 hit Love The Way You Lie. They also recorded a second part to the tune, which appeared on Rihanna's fifth studio album, Loud. Eminem then appeared on Rihanna's track Numb from her latest album, Unapologetic.
