Eminem‘s “Rap God” music video has officially hit the one billion-view benchmark on YouTube, marking yet another monumental milestone for the Detroit veteran’s catalog.

The clip, first released in November 2013, served as a teaser for the now multi-platinum Marshall Mathers LP 2. Directed by Rich Lee, the video featured an 80s aesthetic that parodied the Max Headroom character as Em laid siege to the title of his track.

In preparation for this milestone. Eminem launched the www.rapgod.eminem.com website in order to count towards the views that would reach the mark. “Rap God” now goes down as Eminem’s third video to hit one billion views, joining the company of his “Not Afraid” cut and the Rihanna-assisted “Love The Way You Lie,” which is inching closer toward 2 billion these days. 

The only other rap song to have 1 billion views or more is Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth’s “See Yu Again,” which boasts 4.4 billion views. 

It continues to prove to be a strong showing for Em this year as the milestone joins other accomplishments already achieved in 2020 as his Music To Be Murdered By surprise drop became his 10th consecutive No. 1 album. In addition, Eminem claimed a shot at redemption when he surprised everyone with a performance of his “Lose Yourself” at the OScar’s this year to commemorate the track’s win for Best Orignal Song for 8 Mile in 2003.

Eminem is filled with the stuff of legends and he’s about to hit a new pinnacle, with the official music video for “Rap God” nearing one billion total views. There is nobody quite like Eminem in the rap game today. Big Daddy Kane revealed that, if he were tasked with choosing Kobe Bryant’s hip-hop equivalent, he would opt for Eminem, which makes a lot of sense. Both icons used their sheer talent to power forward in their careers. Marshall Mathers is fresh off the release of his brand new album Music To Be Murdered By, which has been performing extremely well on the charts, and he’s about to experience a new kind of feeling when “Rap God,” one of his most popular songs of all time, reaches the billion views point on YouTube.

Establishing a new countdown on his website, Eminem invited all of his fans to wait with him as he tracks the total number of views for the “Rap God” video, which is creeping all the way up to one billion. At the rate things are moving, “Rap God” will hit that point before the end of the day and Em is asking for one final push to get him over the hump.

If anything, this speaks to how impactful Eminem remains today. If you’re ever unsure of his status as a god of rap, look no further than these stats. Congratulations, Marshall!

Post Malone just made some serious history, becoming one of two total artists to have five songs reach the one billion streams mark.

After starting out as a SoundCloud success with his hit single “White Iverson,” nobody could have predicted the impact that Post Malone had on the music business, becoming a certified hitmaker in such a short time. Now, whatever the artist lends his name to has a good chance of debuting within the Top Ten on the Billboard Hot 100, racking up millions of streams on the same day. While he will surely see a handful of other songs reach the billion mark in his career, “Psycho” joins “Congratulations,” “Rockstar,” “Better Now,” and “Sunflower,” as his only existing records over the threshold. 

According to Forbes, Post Malone’s most-consumed song is currently “Rockstar,” which features 21 Savage. The song remains one of the most popular songs daily on Spotify, nearing the two-billion stream point at the time of this publication. Do you think Posty has more gas left in the tank? Will he end up creating more history, surpassing Justin Bieber on this list?
