Eminem has revealed the third track from his new album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, just days after premiering his 'Survival' video. Listen to 'Rap God' below.

'Rap God' is hugely more assertive than singles 'Berserk' and 'Survival' moving lyrically at over double the words per minute. It is also a thinly veiled jab at rappers who assert themselves as the 'gods of rap' (sorry Kanye West and Jay Z - he's looking at you).

As a statement it represents a hugely prolific return for the controversial and inflammatory Eminem, who first broke onto the scene in the late 90s. He is calling out the rap illuminati for their grandiose claims, whilst flipping the concept in order to claim it for himself.

'The Marshall Mathers LP2' will be released on the 5th of November featuring guest slots from Kendrick Lamar, Rihanna, Skylar Grey and Nate Ruess.
