Netflix’s Rhythm + Flow Season 2 Episode 5 introduced fans to a unique side of Eminem, the legendary rapper known for his sharp lyrics and intense diss tracks. Appearing as a guest judge alongside Latto, Royce da 5’9”, and Mr. Porter, Eminem brought a mix of humor, wisdom, and his signature sarcasm to the show. Hosted by SMACK, the episode took place in Detroit’s iconic St. Andrews Hall, where 14 contestants engaged in an intense cypher competition.
Eminem’s Role as Judge
Eminem’s presence added an extra layer of intensity to the episode, but his candid comments and encouraging demeanor lightened the mood. Participants benefited from his feedback, which ranged from technical advice on flow and stage presence to broader insights into rap battles. His humorous but profound remark about diss tracks caught everyone’s attention:
“I’ve seen diss records kill people’s careers. I made a few of those.”
This statement amused fans online, many of whom praised Eminem’s self-awareness and playful attitude. One fan commented, “What makes Eminem the best battle rapper is he’s way funnier than other rappers,” while another joked, “Bro ended more people’s careers with diss tracks than anyone else in history.”
The judging process focused on several criteria, including lyrical ability, performance, and delivery. Out of the 14 contestants, only seven advanced to the next round, sparking debates among fans over who truly delivered the best bars.
Eminem Praises Latto
A particularly memorable moment occurred when Eminem turned to fellow judge Latto to express his admiration for her artistry. He told the 27-year-old rapper, “I love you, by the way. You’re f-king incredible. I gotta tell you that.” Latto appeared genuinely surprised by the praise, and fans quickly took to social media to highlight the moment.
One fan posted on X (formerly Twitter): “I love how Eminem has been giving flowers to the lady rappers who can spit. First Young M.A., now Latto.” Others pointed out Eminem’s history of supporting rising talent, including Nicki Minaj, Kendrick Lamar, Joyner Lucas, and J. Cole.
Emotional Moments and “Uncle” Energy
Another standout scene showed a more emotional side of Eminem as he consoled a young rapper named Dono, who was eliminated from the competition. Offering words of encouragement and a comforting hug, he reminded her that setbacks are part of personal growth. Fans were quick to note the softer side of the Rap God, describing his approach as having “uncle energy.”
Social Media Buzz
Eminem’s appearance on Rhythm + Flow sparked significant online discussion. Fans shared their favorite moments, from his cheeky diss-track comments to his support for younger artists. A viewer noted, “It’s always cool to see artists like Eminem give props to the new generation,” referring to his consistent shoutouts to emerging talent.
