Eminem was definitely impressed by Biz Markie for partaking in the #GodzillaChallenge, but unfortunately, professional rappers aren't allowed to compete for the prize. Em's #GodzillaChallenge has been gaining traction this week ever since he announced the launch through the Triller app on Tuesday. Fans can compete to win a repost from the rapper as well as additional prizes by posting a video of themselves perfectly spitting his insane, rapid-fire verse on the contest's Juice WRLD-featured title track, "Godzilla," off of Em's album, Music To Be Murdered By.

The Stans have been flooding his mentions with their own attempts this week, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's Bizzy Bone even took a stab at it. On Thursday, LL Cool J tagged Em in a tweet sharing a clip of Biz Markie participating in the #GodzillaChallenge during his visit to LL's Rock The Bells Radio station.
"Yo Em!!! Ya manz man Bizmarkie ain’t playing with this Godzilla challenge!!!" he tweeted. "@BizMarkie getting it done!!!" Em took notice of Biz's efforts, but jokingly pointed out that he's overqualified.
"Yo biz!!" he replied. "U bodied this!! But this contest is 4 amateurs only!! Ha!!" Seems fair enough, but you can't blame the man for trying.
LL Cool J Reps For Rap’s Golden Era With "Rock The Bells" Collection
Honoring one of the most classic rap records in Hip-Hop history.
When LL Cool J released the iconic rap single “Rock The Bells” off his debut album Radio, it jumpstarted a legacy that is still going strong both in and outside of Hip-Hop culture. Now, the legendary Queens-bred emcee is branding it even further with an entire capsule collection of fly streetwear gear.

Officially titled Rock The Bells Drop 1, the collection consists of limited-edition drops designed to emulate classic elements of hip-hop, including graffiti, DJing, breakdancing and of course the power of MCing that LL did so well during his come-up. Highlights from the initial set include T-shirts, handcrafted-designed hoodies, long-sleeve shirts, crewnecks, hats and a standout limited edition Rock The Bells x Roots Varsity Jacket which is actually inspired by the custom jacket LL Cool J wore in celebration of launching Rock The Bells Radio. As the artist born James Todd Smith has led an unquestionably iconic career for himself in media and music alike, we see him crossing into apparel with just as much success. Congrats, king!
Drop 1 from LL Cool J’s Rock the Bells Collection arrives on January 28 Rockthebells.com. Get a preview of what will be available by checking out the lookbook images below:
