Eminem's new album, "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," is only three weeks way from release but the artist has declared himself "Rap God." His latest single is titled "Rap God," and if you listen to the 6-minuted long track who will find it suitably titled too.

The 41-year-old rapper is so fast in his newest single that you would have to pull out the lyrics from some website to interpret what the guy is rapping about. Eminem is at his self praise in the rap song when he says, "I know there was one time when I was king of the underground.... Why be a king when you can be a God?"

The single is uploaded on YouTube and has garnered 1,260,529 ( and counting) in just less than one day and more than 15 thousand comments so far.

"Eminem raps one of the final verses at warp speed in a way that's reminiscent of the closing verse from female hip-hop trio J.J. Fad's 1988 hit "Supersonic," says music Web site Rolling Stone. The rapper, who will turn 41 in 2 days, also remembers the artists who are his inspiration.

Eminem, whose real name is Marshall Bruce Mathers III, calls himself a "product of Rakim," Tupac, N.W.A. and Lakim Shabazz, in the rap song. "Even you unsigned rappers are hungry, looking at me like it's lunchtime," raps Eminem throwing a hint that he is in big demand.

"Rap God" is available for download on iTunes and has a Parental Advisory warning. The track is from Eminem's album "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," which is due to be released on November 5. It also includes previously released "Berserk" and "Survival."
