UK rapper Harry Shotta set his eyes on breaking Eminem's record for most words in a hit single, which the Detroit emcee did by dropping 1,560 within the track "Rap God." The British rapper thinks he's got the record on lock as his song "Animal" managed to squeeze 1,771 words into roughly the same time span as "Rap God" (just more than six minutes).
Shotta isn't trying to stir things up, but he hopes the American rapper gets a chance to check the song out.
"This is purely about pushing our art and having some fun," he said. "A lot of our fans have been tweeting him...It's gone mental this week so I'm sure someone in his camp will know. I hope he likes the track and appreciates what we've done. It's all about the art of emceeing and pushing it to the next level."
Guinness hasn't passed down a ruling on whether "Animal" gets the prize, but we have to wonder if the song qualifies as a "hit single." Shotta's track hasn't exactly charted in the UK.
