Eminem Proves Why He's the Greatest With Another Impossible Rhyme
"There's no word in English that rhymes with 'silver,'" X account UberFacts tweeted on August 11. Another user called out the "Without Me" artist, writing, "You have 24 hours!"
Challenge accepted.

The comments section was flooded with praise for the Detroit native's creativity.
"My goat can make anything rhyme," one user responded. "Bro's a walking dictionary," another wrote with a goat emoji. "Shakespeare aint got shi on my boy," a third added.
Eminem opened up about his success in a 2022 essay with XXL magazine, saying "to have fans is a dream come true."
"It's also so bizarre and so surreal. Even as I sit here now, I still trip out in my head about how it got to this level. All I ever really wanted to do was to be a respected MC. To make enough money to survive, so that I wouldn't have to work a regular job," he wrote. "That ties into my competitive spirit, and I don't know when that's going to go away, if ever. That's probably my biggest weapon mixed with lyricism."
The rapper recently produced a documentary centered around his iconic single "Stan," which hits streaming later this month.

Netflix UK Scripted Chief Bristles At 'TV Tourists' Barb After Success Of ‘Adolescence'
Netflix has been quick to respond to criticism that the streamer behaved like a 'TV tourist' in commissioning hit series Adolescence. In one of the talking points of the Edinburgh TV Festival, Channel 4's news and current affairs boss Louisa Compton said the network was 'proud parents' of Adolescence because of how the network gave opportunities to co-creators Jack Thorne and Stephen Graham early in their careers. More from Deadline Netflix's 'Emily In Paris' Season 5 Teases New Looks & Location In First-Look Photos; Sets Premiere Date Roy Wood Jr. Predicts Stephen Colbert Will Become Leading Anti-Trump Voice On YouTube Next Year Paramount UK Chief Ben Frow Says Channel 5 Won't Be Sold After Skydance Merger 'We've developed and nurtured the talent that has allowed Netflix to come in as TV tourists and effectively commission [Adolescence],' said Compton. 'Without us, that wouldn't have happened.' Speaking during an Adolescence masterclass, Netflix's Mona Qureshi was asked for her response to Compton's comments. 'My initial response is consternation,' said the streamer's UK director of scripted series. The former BBC executive added: 'I don't think I'm a tourist — I've been around.' She added: 'Nothing about where I am, where we sit, and the conversations we had about Adolescence comes out of anything other than us, within the UK network team, being solely about finding shows and speaking to our local audience. 'We are all part of the same ecosystem. Adolescence simply came out of something which is us reading a script and responding to this fantastic creative team and just being utterly compelled by delivering from the get-go… No one's thinking global, let's make something globally. It's just about being in tune with what the local market wants, and what we as commissioners feel inspires and compels us.' Speaking during the same masterclass, writer Thorne said: 'I started at Channel 4. I was lucky enough to get my first shows away at Channel 4 … I'm really grateful for Channel 4, but I'm excited that Netflix is moving into this space.' 'I think the real problem we've got in TV at the moment is a certain conservatism that's crept in because of the recession,' he added. 'I think any broadcaster that's prepared to take a risk, a wild swing, which is what this show was, it should be applauded for it.' Adolescence is Netflix's second most-watched English-language show of all time. Executives from UK broadcasters have previously said that the show would have been too expensive for them to make without co-production money.

Former KSW star Robert Ruchala surrounded himself with greatness ahead of 'dream' UFC debut
Robert Ruchala's patience paid off. For months, two-time KSW interim featherweight champion Ruchala (11-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) heard frustration from fans eager to see him step back in the cage. But he listened to those he trusted – including his manager, Joanna Jedrzejczyk. He put his head down and grinded with elite training partners at American Top Team. And then it happened. "My exercise was a lot of training and waiting," Ruchala told MMA Junkie in his first interview conducted in English. "In Poland after four or five months, I had a lot of haters because I waited. 'OK, Rob. Rob, why are you waiting for UFC?' Because the UFC is something big, yeah? It's my dream, and I had to wait for my chance. After seven months, I signed the contract in the U.S. because I was at ATT for camp. Joanna told me that I had the contract on my email, and I had to sign it." Ruchala, 27, was one of a handful of top-tier veteran signings the UFC has made in recent months. His friend and fellow Pole, KSW bantamweight champion Jakub Wiklacz, was offered a contract at the same time as he was. Known for his fun personality and creative social media posts, it was inevitable Ruchala would pull out all the stops for the biggest announcement of his career. He rounded up Wiklacz (16-3-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) and Jedrzejczyk and another Polish fighter Robert Ceremuga and asked them to put their acting skills to the test. "I like funny videos. I'm very creative," Ruchala said. "I like to record something for my social media. When I got the call from Joanna and Joanna told me the contract would send to my person for maybe one week, I told her that it will be good to record something special for the UFC contract. I asked my friend Jakub if it would be good to record something, something good. After this, in Poland and in Europe, it was very loud after this video. I'm happy. Bro, it's my biggest dream to join the UFC. It's the best league in the world, like the Champion's League in football. I'm very excited to join to the UFC, and I can't wait for my next fight." Embedded in greatness Ruchala has to pinch himself sometimes. His heroes have somehow become his peers. He not only has UFC Hall of Famer Jedrzejczyk as his manager, but he's embedded himself deep in the most elite training sub-circle of American Top Team. He was a key member of the camp for Dustin Poirier's retirement fight and trains with Mateusz Gamrot on a weekly basis. Ruchala doesn't take the experience for granted. He sparred 20 rounds with Poirier prior to the bout. "Dustin is my inspiration, and Max (Holloway) was the same," Ruchala said. "When I was a child, I always watched Max (Holloway) and Dustin Poirier fights. ... Sparring was very stressful for me because Dustin is the legend. After sparring, Dustin told me that it would be very good to train with me. "... Dustin told me a lot of good words in sparring and in after. For me, it was a very, very big experience after sparring. ... For me, it's crazy. Crazy I watched his fights as a child and then I sparred with him. Brother, Dustin trained at American Top Team with a small group of fighters, and I joined into this group. I joined into this group and trained with him. Crazy." The big debut and beyond Ruchala enters the UFC with about as impressive a 12-fight pro resume as humanly possible. He has six finishes in 11 victories, an 8-1 record in KSW, and his only loss came against Salahdine Parnasse, a fighter many believe is the best pound-for-pound outside the UFC. "I think I'm very uncomfortable to fight," Ruchala said. "I like the show. I like striking. I like all MMA. I think I'm a MMA fighter. I like striking. I like wrestling. I like Brazilian jiu-jitsu. But in the UFC, I want to give a show. In my fight, I always want to give you a show. In this fight, it will be a big challenge for me. I have to show something special." For his first UFC assignment, Ruchala will enter enemy territory Sept. 6 with a Paris debut against Frenchman William Gomis at UFC Fight Night 258. Gomis (14-3 MMA, 4-1 UFC) aims to bounce back from his first promotional loss, which came by split decision against Hyder Amil in March. "For me, it's good to fight with Gomis because this is my debut," Ruchala said. "I think Gomis is a very good challenge for me, for my debut. Because Gomis fought in the UFC five times. For me, this is a big challenge. In KSW, I always had a lot of challenges. For example, I fought Lom-Ali Eskiev. I fought Salahdine Parnasse. I fought Kacper Formela. I had a lot of big fights and now this is my new challenge. This is something big. This is my debut in the UFC." "... It will be a good show for fans and it'll be very good for the fans. But I had a lot of training. I had a lot of competition fights. For me, it'll be good to show my skills. After finishing my contract in KSW, I made very big progress in my game. I had a lot of trips to other clubs and now I'm a different fighter. I want to show you my new skills." With a victory, Ruchala thinks ranked opposition will be next. Given his experience outside the promotion, a title run could be fast-tracked. To hold UFC gold is unsurprisingly the ultimate goal. "I think when I win vs. Gomis, I think it'll be very good for me to fight with top-15," Ruchala said. "But I'm focused on my debut. I always focus on my fights. After, I will see. Because this is a fight. I have to focus on my fight now. "... I watched a lot of fights in my division and I feel I can (win gold). I have always been into the sport. For me, it's the biggest dream to fight for the UFC belt and in a championship bout. I think I can. But I have to wait. I have to wait. Because now I focus on my fight and after I will see."

Thousands gather to celebrate third Pride by the Harbourside
THOUSANDS of people gathered on Whitehaven Harbour to celebrate this year's Pride event. The third Pride by the Harbourside took place on Saturday with a parade led by the deputy lord lieutenant for Cumbria and the MP for Whitehaven and Workington, Josh MacAlister. A free concert was then opened by Eurovision icon Sonia and performances followed by boyband 911, Danish Eurodance group Cartoons and English house music duo Freemasons. The parade at Pride by the Harbourside (Image: Colin Johnston) Also taking to the stage were pop and dance artist Jan George, vocalist PJ Taylor and local acts including Logan Paul Murphy and Stella the Fella. Along the harbour were food stalls, information stalls, and a variety of family-friendly activities. For the first time, Rosehill Theatre hosted a community stage. The event, organised by Proud and Diverse Cumbria, attracted between 8,000 and 10,000 people to the harbourside. The parade at Pride by the Harbourside (Image: Colin Johnston) Glenn Anderson, director for Proud and Diverse Cumbria, said: 'It was fantastic. There was so much colour, so much vibrancy. The stallholders did tremendous trade. 'Most importantly, from my perspective, we provided an environment that was good for the mental health wellbeing of vulnerable and isolated people. That's our job done. 'The number of people dressed up, wearing glitter and carrying flags, there were thousands of people who were there associated with our event, not just visitors. That's a great thing because it evidences the need for these safe spaces to be created. The event brought colour and vibrancy to Whitehaven Harbour (Image: Colin Johnston) 'I equally wish to point out that Cumberland Council are doing a very good job addressing the rights of minority people. 'I have to publicly recognise that we have achieved some of the goals that we wanted to. I have to thank the people who are in power for listening that we all wanted was equality and parity. 'It's getting to the point that maybe the next event doesn't need to have a label. I don't want us to be segregated in any way. We are part of the community. Our focus going forward, is to continue integrating into the community. Josh MacAlister, the MP for Whitehaven and Workington, gives a speech at Pride by the Harbourside (Image: Josh MacAlister) 'Truly thanks to the harbour commissioners for allowing us each and every year to bring some colour and vibrancy to such a beautiful, historic, scenic location. We are extremely privileged that they grant us permission every year to do that. 'Thank you to the leader and deputy leader of the council, Mark Fryer and Emma Williamson, who have been great champions and have done what they pledged in their manifestos.' Josh MacAlister, MP for Whitehaven and Workington, said: 'It was an honour to help open the celebrations and to stand alongside so many friends, families, allies and neighbours in support of our LGBT+ community. The colour, the music, the joy, and - most of all - the sense of togetherness made me proud of what Pride represents. Josh MacAlister, the MP for Whitehaven and Workington, at Pride by the Harbourside (Image: Josh MacAlister) 'As Cumbria's first openly gay MP, I'll never take for granted the progress we've made, or the importance of events like this in showing that whoever you are, and whoever you love, you are welcome and valued here. 'Thank you to the organisers, volunteers and everyone who made the day such a success. Here's to many more years of Pride by the Harbourside - and to carrying that spirit of inclusion and equality with us every day of the year.'
