It's become all the rage to say Eminem would do poorly in a Verzuz, no matter who he faces.
That may well be true, but when it comes to getting people to listen to his music, no rapper has ever done it like Shady.
Em's dominance with the general public has continued into the streaming age.
This week, his 2002 track "Without Me "joined Spotify's billion stream club.

It's Em's second entry in the now- 212 song club, which features mostly songs from the last five years.
Last year, the Eminem Nate Dogg featured track 'Till I Collapse' became the first non-single to ever hit the billion mark on Spotify.
