Overview

  • A viral UberFacts post asserted that no English word rhymes with “silver,” and Rock The Bells tagged Eminem with a 24-hour challenge on X
  • Within hours of the tag, Eminem unleashed a rapid-fire freestyle listing slant rhymes and proper nouns from Gilbert to Spielberg
  • Linguists acknowledge “silver” lacks perfect rhymes in standard English, but Em’s inventive phrasing demonstrated how near-rhymes can prevail
  • The closing bars of the post plugged his new STANS documentary after surprise appearances at its recent premiere
  • Fans and media praised the freestyle as a masterclass in wordplay and reinforced Eminem’s legacy of bending “unrhymeable” words
