Eminem’s Unexpected Answer to the Age-Old ‘Silver’ Rhyme Challenge Will Surprise You

Ever wonder if there’s any word in English that truly rhymes with “silver”? Most folks throw up their hands and say it’s an impossible feat—but then there’s Eminem, a man who’s never met a challenge he didn’t want to crush. When Uber Facts boldly declared on X that “no word rhymes with silver,” LL Cool J’s Rock The Bells wasn’t having it—they threw down the gauntlet, tagging the Rap God himself with just 24 hours to conjure a rhyme. And honestly, if you remember what Eminem did with “orange,” you know this was about to get wild. Spoiler alert: he delivered—missed the deadline by a few hours, sure, but his reply was a masterclass in lyrical wizardry that sounds nonsensical at first glance… until you hear it in his voice. Curious how the word “silver” suddenly found its poetic soul? Dive in and prepare to be wowed. LEARN MORE

Eminem isn’t one to back down from a challenge, even if it’s presumed to be an impossible feat by the average person.

So, when he was asked to achieve the unthinkable by finding something that rhymes with the word ‘silver’, we should have never doubted him.

Earlier this week, good old Uber Facts – yes, the page is still knocking about – shared a post on X claiming that ‘there’s no word in English that rhymes with silver.’

LL Cool J’s brand Rock The Bells then responded to the post with a reminder that the Rap God still exists and is more than partial to a rhyming challenge.

I mean, how can we forget how what he did with the supposedly un-rhymable word ‘orange’?

Anyway, Rock The Bells tagged Eminem in the post and said he had 24 hours to come up with a response.

The rapper, real name Marshall Mathers, did miss that deadline by a few hours – however, he did manage to come up with an incredible response.

On Wednesday (13 August), he shared his reply to the rhyming challenge in another post on X.

At first glance, it looks like gibberish – but when you imagine Eminem uttering it, somehow, it works.

He wrote: “Silver pilfer kill fer Gilbert’s still hurts steel shirts Bill Burr milf word off kilter no filter chill brrrr feel burn still slur will stir Trent dilfer Val kilmer Still third shield her he’ll squirt Steven Spielberg Lil twerp Wilshire She’ll purr Kill birds milk curd feel worth Real nerd Stans documentary I liked your film sir.”

Someone get that guy back in the studio, ASAP.

Social media users seemed very impressed with Eminem’s efforts, with one hailing him as a ‘walking dictionary.’

His hilarious response went viral (X)

Another said: “And that’s why he’s the GOAT.”

A third added: “Eminem can make any word rhyme with any other word.”

A fourth wrote: “I read this and heard Eminem saying the words.”

While a fifth joked: “It’s like he just hit the predictive text and it just worked omfg.”

Even though he’s now a grandfather, the hit tweet proved that Eminem has still got it.

His daughter Hailie Jade, 29, welcomed her first child with her husband Evan McClintock in April this year.

Sweetly, the couple paid homage to the music star by naming their little one Elliot Marshall McClintock.
