The breakout of hip-hop into mainstream media has certainly skyrocketed the appeal of Rap in places where it was not even thought possible. Among the various prolific names in the industry, Eminem is one that’s still taken with the utmost reverence when it comes to the cultural impact and influence that it had on the entire music industry.
His rise to fame was his insane ability to mold words and sentences into weapons of mass destruction that could put down anyone who stepped with him in a rap battle, be it face-to-face or through their music. But along with that, he was also known as a lyrical genius when it came to rhyming, something that fans revere him for after an old clip shows him rhyming the word orange in mere seconds.
An Old Clip Of Eminem Rhyming Orange With Different Words Goes Viral
The scene of hip-hop is like a battleground where new and upcoming talent is foaming at the mouth to prove their lyrical prowess to the world with newer, sicker rhymes every day. But when it comes to the veterans of the industry, there’s hardly anyone more respected and revered than Eminem, the man widely called the Rap God. And not just by people, his record of being the highest-selling hip-hop artist is proof enough of why he commands respect.

His uncanny and unprecedented ability to rhyme words and make music that can last a lifetime in mere minutes is something that can only be called God’s Gift, and he showcased it in a past interview. In a clip from that video, the interviewer asked him how he claimed that he bent words, to which he gave a demonstration by trying to rhyme the word orange for him.

Everyone in the world knows that nothing rhymes with the word orange in a normal sense, but this is the multiple-Grammy and Oscar Award-winning artist we are talking about who doesn’t let that stop him. By switching a mere syllable and changing the annunciation of a letter, he was able to make multiple words that seemed to rhyme with orange as naturally as if it should’ve been obvious.
With this clip going viral yet again on the internet, everyone who listened to the artist when they were growing up recalled the greatness that the star graced the public in the past.
