While Marshall Mathers was out raging hell on The Monster Tour alongside pop princess Rihanna, his new track "Guts Over Fear" made its way up the Digital Genre R&B/Hip Hop chart. As of September 6, HipHopDX.com reported that the single was holding down the third spot with 134,328 units sold.

Even when the Detroit native is swamped with work outside the studio, he still seems to hold stain in the Hip Hop scene. BET recently announced its 2014 Hip Hop Awards nominees and Eminem has been blessed to snagged the following three: "Best Collabo,Duo or Group," "Lyricist of the Year" and "Album of the Year."

Amazingly, the real Slim Shady recently landed a spot in the Guinness Book of World Records for his bars on the 2013 track "Rap God." Eminem has been recognized for having the most words in a hit single clocking in at 1,560 words in six minutes and four seconds.

Eminem has teamed up with the Detroit Tigers for an official merchandise collaboration. The clothing line items were released on September 3 and holds a close place to his heart since it represents his hometown. In addition to that, he also took to Instagram to reveal limited edition clothing merchandise for sale in an effort to drive support for his upcoming album SHADYXV.

And finally, although Dipset rapper Jim Jones doesn't have a spot for Em on his top five rappers list, that hunk of a hunnie Denzel Washington sure is hype to have the rapper on his. In a recent reddit Ask Me Anything session, the actor revealed that Eminem is one of his favorite rappers and he is indeed a fan. So who would ever go amongst the word of this Hollywood A-lister?

With all these achievements, how could one not deem Eminem the "Rap God" of our times?

Eminem announces The Monster Tour, with Rihanna, coming this summer!!!!

Thats right, Eminem is finally back! After his international tour with Kendrick Lamar & J Cole, Marshall will be heading back to the U.S. for a 3 city stadium tour in August! He will be hitting a stage, in centerfield, in Los Angeles, Detroit, and New York this summer with Rihanna.

Em's last U.S. tour, the "Home and Home Tour," was back in 2010 along with Jay-Z, where he headlined Comerica Park & Hov headlined Yankee Stadium. 

Incase you're wondering, tickets are NOT on sale yet. It has not been announced yet WHICH stadiums the greatest rapper of ALL time will be doing, but judging by his 2010 tour, (which I attended) it's sure going to be an epic, historic night in each city. Attending Em's concerts for almost 15 years now, he has never left me disappointed or regretting spending the CRAZY amounts of money I paid to see him. It truly is an indescribable feeling, from the first second he starts, til the very end.

As far as the New York City show, I'm thinking he might decide to switch it up, and do Citi Field. Either way, I WILL be there, and when the tickets sell out IMMEDIATELY, and a second (and maybe 3rd) show is announced, I'll be there as well. 

If you haven't, or even if you HAVE been lucky enough to catch the Rap God in concert, make sure u don't miss this one. It might be your last chance. This might be his last run. If it's not, the next time he plans to tour again MIGHT not be for a while. 

So, with that said, again....make sure you grab your tickets when they go on sale. It will be slightly impossible, so I recommend StubHub as a second option. If you are looking to save some dough, wait a day before the concert, or even a few hours before, as the prices will likely drop.
