“Godzilla” (2020) smashed the record he set as a guest on Nicki Minaj's “Majesty” (2018), when he spat out 78 words in 12 seconds (6.5 words per second), which in turn eclipsed his performance on the 2013 hit “Rap God” (97 words in 15 seconds; 6.46 words per second).

Read More »In the third verse of Eminem’s (USA, b. Marshall Mathers III) No.1 single “Godzilla”, the rapper squeezes 225 words into one 30-second segment – that’s a rapid 7.5 words per second! “Godzilla” (2020) smashed the record he set as a guest on Nicki Minaj’s “Majesty” (2018), when he spat out 78 words in 12 seconds (6.5 words per second), which in turn eclipsed his performance on the 2013 hit “Rap God” (97 words in 15 seconds; 6.46 words per second). The verse in question begins with the line “Fill ‘em with the venom and eliminate ‘em” (2 min 57 sec into the track) and finishes with the line “I’m not afraid to pull the…” (concluding at 3 min 27 sec). Including the section of verse 3 from the line “Trigger happy, pack heat, but it’s black ink” (from 2 min 45 sec), Eminem spits out 284 words in 42 seconds for an average of 6.76 words per second – faster than “Majesty” and “Rap God”. In total, the 3-min 31-sec “Godzilla” contains 959 words from start to end (an average of 4.54 words per second) – considerably less than the 1,560 words that appear in the 6-min 4-sec “Rap God” (an average of 4.28 words per second), which retains the title for the most words in a hit single. The 12-second rap in Nicki Minaj’s “Majesty”, taken from her 2018 album Queen, starts with the line “You ain’t dealin’ with a fuckin’ featherweight” at 2 min 27 sec. It concludes with “I’ma get a special place” at 2 min 39 sec. “Godzilla” is taken from Eminem’s chart-topping album Music to be Murdered by (2020) and features the late rapper Juice WRLD on the chorus. It debuted at No.1 on the UK’s Official Singles Chart on 30 January 2020, and “Slim Shady” completed a UK chart double when the album also debuted at No.1 in the same week – his 9th consecutive studio-album to top the UK chart. The album also includes the hits “Those Kinda Nights” (feat. Ed Sheeran) and “Darkness”. Word count calculated from lyrics on azlyrics.com, track timings taken from Spotify. Web sources are measured differently, but such minor discrepancies don’t alter the record-breaking status of “Godzilla”.

T his will vary enormously depending on the ability and the application of the child. A student who has achieved a good pass, merit or distinction at grade 5 will be an extremely competent pianist able to read music and play a whole variety of pieces from classical through to pop and jazz. This will normally take around 5 to 7 years to achieve. Pianists that start young may ironically take longer to get to this level, but their early start lays extremely solid foundations which ultimately lead to them playing better and achieving higher marks in the examinations. In addition students who already play another instrument often progress a lot faster. After grade 5 it is possible to continue up to grade 8. Students above this level will usually be studying Music in some form of Higher Education with a view to some sort of professional music career. There is a ‘window of opportunity’ within which children make the best progress and in the opinion of The Piano School that usually starts from around five. Tim Riley, the director of Primo Piano, started lessons when he was six and took his grade 8 at sixteen. He returned to his piano studies as an adult and worked towards an Advanced Certificate through the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM). All students at The Piano School are encouraged to work through a regular system of assessment (from A to G) before moving on to the more formal external graded examination (1-8) through the ABRSM.
