Everyone knows that records are set in professional sports, in the height of buildings and speed Vehicle. However, the desire to achieve outstanding quantitative indicators and record them, oddly enough, is also present in modern culture.

How many words does Eminem read per minute?
Eminem set a record for words per minute when he performed the song “Rap God” - famous rapper speaks one thousand five hundred and sixty words in six minutes and four seconds. So, how many words does Eminem read per minute? The simplest calculation shows - 243.75 words!
However, Eminem's record for the fastest rap performance did not last long. He was beaten by Drum & Bass MC Harry Schotta. This achievement has not yet been recorded by experts. However, in the six minutes and twenty-three seconds that the track “Animal” lasts, the performer pronounces 1,771 words, which is 211 more than before. Harry Schotta himself claims that he did not strive for special fame, he was just trying to have fun... the result was outstanding success. It is unknown how true this is... however, an excess of aplomb seems to be uncharacteristic for Schott.
The similarity of both tracks in sound and tempo of performance is quite understandable: otherwise it is impossible to achieve such a speed of pronunciation. Let's hope that the performer will still be able to mobilize, tune in properly and surpass his opponent, creating a new record for the number of words per minute. But even if for some reason this does not work out, he will still be one of the most outstanding rappers in the history of music in terms of recitative tempo!
The track, during which Eminem last performed a record for words per minute, is included in the album “The Marshall Mathers LP 2”. This composition, according to one of the ratings, was in high demand for no less than twenty weeks. The first performance of the song took place back in 2013 on YouTube Music Awards 2013" and then at "MTV EMA 2013". The average execution speed reaches 4.28 words per second.
