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?
