Rap legend Marshall Mathers, a.k.a Eminem, recently made a mockery of the idea that nothing in the English language can be rhymed with silver. Eminem has long been famous for seemingly being able to make rhymes out of ANY words, once famously breaking down how to rhyme the word “orange” during a 60 Minutes interview in 2010.
15 years after blowing Anderson Cooper’s mind with his ability to rhyme with the word “orange,” Eminem has once again obliterated the idea that the name of a certain color in unrhymeable, this time creating an entire verse-worth of words that rhyme with it.

“The word orange doesn’t rhyme with anything, and it kind of pisses me off because I can think of a lot of things that rhyme with orange,” Em told 60 Minutes back in 2010.
“If you’re taking the word at face value, and you just say ‘orange’, nothing is going to rhyme with it exactly. If you enunciate it and make it more than one syllable, or-ange, you can say, like, I put my or-ange, four inch, door hinge in stor-age and ate porr-idge with Geo-rge.”
Eminem most recently released The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce), his 12th solo studio album, in 2024, and recently had a cameo role alongside Adam Sandler in Netflix’s Happy Gilmore 2.
