He could end careers with a verse—but why should he? Slim Shady’s silence cuts deeper. 🚫🎙️
Eminem has been called out by dozens of artists—some legit, some just clout-chasing. But here’s the thing: he rarely responds.
Why?
Because Eminem follows what fans call the “No Response Rule.” If you’re not worth his pen, you won’t get a verse. He said it himself in The Warning:
“I’m not wasting ink on you, but I’m thinking of writing a will.”
From Machine Gun Kelly to Nick Cannon, most who’ve dissed Em get one verse—if they’re lucky. Others, like Benzino and Everlast, got buried, then forgotten.
But in 2025, new school rappers constantly prod at Eminem, hoping to earn a reaction. And he never bites.
“He’s like a dragon that doesn’t waste fire unless it’s war,” said Royce da 5’9”.
There’s power in silence. When Em doesn’t reply, it tells the world:
“You’re not worth my syllables.”
And for someone who made a career off battles, knowing when not to fight might be his most lethal move yet.
