Rap Nobody (7 languages)

MC Silk's song "Rap Nobody (7 languages)" is a bold and thought-provoking critique of Eminem, one of the most iconic figures in the rap industry. The song opens with a direct address to Eminem, questioning his self-proclaimed title of 'Rap God.' MC Silk challenges the notion that rap excellence is confined to English-speaking artists, pointing out that only 5% of the world's population are native English speakers. This raises the question of whether the remaining 95% are any less talented, suggesting that talent in rap transcends linguistic boundaries.

The song delves into the idea that Eminem's rapid-fire delivery and technical skill, while impressive, do not necessarily make him a 'god' of rap. MC Silk argues that Eminem has produced objectively weak tracks and that his ego has inflated to divine proportions. He contrasts Eminem's struggles in Detroit with the hardships faced by rappers in Poland, implying that the challenges of making it in the rap game are universal and not unique to any one location. MC Silk humbly positions himself as a 'rap nobody,' yet asserts that there are many artists around the world who are just as talented as Eminem.

MC Silk's lyrics also touch on the commercialization and dilution of rap music. He criticizes Eminem for collaborating with pop artists like Nicki Minaj and for the overall decline in the quality of mainstream rap. The song is a tribute to all the 'rap nobodies' who pursue their passion for music despite the industry's promotion of mediocrity. MC Silk calls for a return to the roots of hip-hop, emphasizing authenticity and artistic integrity over commercial success. The repeated plea for Eminem to 'come down' from his pedestal and be part of the community reflects a desire for humility and connection in the rap world.
